Arabic Dude 1 Posted September 28, 2020 Okay. So there's this feature called 'Cut itself' in FL studio. It basically stops playing an instrument/sound if 2 notes are close to each other, and the timeline reaches the second note. (In the piano roll view). I would like to use the feature for 808s. The mix gets really muddy with 2 808 notes playing over each other. I have tried Tx16wx and quite a few other samplers but they don't seem to have this either. I'd appreciate some help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treesha 289 Posted September 29, 2020 If i had 2 midi notes I didn’t want to overlap sound at the same time i would shorten the midi notes in piano roll view. If i had 2 audio i would split off some of the notes in track view then apply a fade out to smooth its ending, or i would open the audio into melodyne and shorten/adjust the blobs (and can fade with version studio 5) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel Mackay 258 Posted September 29, 2020 Your answer is in your opening statement "there's this feature in FL Studio." Different sampler won't help. It is an FL Studio feature. And no, it doesn't exist in Cakewalk, so you will have to edit. @treesha has made two suggestions as to method. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reginaldStjohn 206 Posted September 29, 2020 Is there not a CAL script that does/could do this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel Mackay 258 Posted September 30, 2020 A CAL script could be written to clean up the MIDI file before you press play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes you just want notes held longer without note overlaps making it muddy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glenn Stanton 375 Posted October 7, 2020 depending on the material, you could use the "process effects" to shorten the length of selected notes (say you have 20 notes) and reduce by 50% (etc) to eliminate an overlap (esp for percussion, bass, and triggered effects) where the shorten length is not obvious for impacting the sounds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I think reducing the length seems to be the only option in Cakewalk. My question was for long 808s that overlap. I think gliding could help but I don't see the 'wheel' option on the list for some reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
