extending clips in addictive drums2

[RICHARD HUTCHINS]

I'm sure I ve asked this before but how do you extend a clip in AD2? I have so far managed by using the edit function, and copy/paste the clip a few times to extend the pay period in my track. Buts its labour intensive. Dragging the end of the clip with the smart tool doesnt work, it just extends a blank section, no drums. Or is using copy/paste the actual right way to do it?

Turn it into a groove clip and then stretch it out. Make sure your original clip is aligned to measure/beat bounderies.

Aha! OK wil do this

There are many ways to skin a cat, and even more ways to extend a MIDI clip in CbB. If you get tired of the Groove Clip method mentioned by Colin, you might optionally try any of these methods:

• Ctrl+D to duplicate the clip any number of times.
• Use Paste Special and specify any number of repetitions.
• Use the Pattern tool found among the Draw tools in the Control Bar.

But regardless method, just as Colin said you’d first want to stretch your MIDI clip to the next measure/beat boundary by dragging the right clip boundary. Otherwise the end result may be unpredictable.

Cheers all, will try these methods.

But the method of copy/paste is more precise. And you can copy/paste the lenght you want.
