Groove quantize won't apply to full track

[Seamus O'Sullivan]

Hi folks,

 

I'm trying to achieve a very simple quantize and am having trouble.

It's an instrument track of piano (track set to ticks per quarter note =120)

It's basically just note, chord then note, chord for about 100 bars

The note is set to 0:00 and the chord is on 0:80 (a choppy 6/8 rhythm)

I would like to move all the chord notes back by 5 ticks and have set up a groove quantize to achieve this and called it 1 & 75.grv.

However, when I select my piano track and apply that groove quantize, it only moves the chord notes of the first two bars and doesn't do anything to the other 98 bars.

Hope I've explained well enough and would really appreciate some assistance

 

Cheers

Are all the notes in one clip or multiple clips? Select all clips and bounce them into one clip.

reginaldStjohn,

all notes are in one clip of about 100 bars.

I tried a test track of 100 bars of drums - bass on 0:00 and hihat on 0:80.  Applied my groove "1 and 75" and it only affected the first two bars.

To get on with my work I have ended up selecting 2 bars at a time and then applying the groove.  This has worked but I'd still like to know how to fix the problem

Cheers

Did you roll out the 100 bars from a two-bar Groove Clip? If so, you would need to roll it back, and re-roll for all the iterations to take on the change to original Groove Clip.

Personally, I would probably use a combination of Select by Filter  (Notes on Tick 0) and the Event Inspector module (Time = -5) to acheive this goal.

David,

Thanks for your reply. Could you elaborate on your reply please - I'm not sure that I quite understand.

Cheers Seamus

I think he is saying that the groove clip from which the groove is coming needs to be as long as the clip your going to apply the groove to. I don't use this feature so I would have to point you to the documentation.

Hi folks,

Think I've solved this 

I had been :

1 - creating a 2 bar clip of beats on 1 and 75.

2 - selecting all - which was selecting ALL tracks with ALL bars (about 100)

3 - creating the groove which I now know was heading a groove of 100 bars with only the first 2 being properly grooved.

So therefore:

I realise that I should only select the 2 bars with the groove data in it - save that as a groove and then apply it to the longer clips.

All working now. So thanks to everyone for their help 

Seamus
