So, to say the least, audio quantize would come in handy here. The piece I'm working on is Electric Counterpoint by steve reich, and it is 13 guitars and two bass guitars, of essentially, pumping 8th notes. If it is just the case that I have to individually adjust each transient, then I guess thats the way it is. I guess the bottom line is, I'm wondering if I have a bug in Logic,

Feel free to check them out if you want to kill a couple of minutes. I provided two small audio files in my post above. However the main issue, is when I set audio quantize to 8th note in the region inspector, I get pops and clicks, even when the audio file is a clearly articulated single note line. It is greyed out and unresponsive when there are, at least visually more places where the transients could be placed. Actually the screenshot I took was my wondering why the 'plus' button wasn't allowing me to add more transients. Move it slightly to the left and you will be ok.
The fourth transient marker, the one close to 1.4 is off. What do you think is the best flex time setting setting for even, straight, eighth notes? Not chords, just one note. Now I'm nudging things by the smallest of ticks, and it is not working. But it seems strange, as I've mentioned, I've used flex time many times before, and in more extreme situations, and no pops or clicks. Yeah, I thought I've been ultra-meticulous at this, maybe I need too zoom in even more. What do you mean, "having transient markers where I shouldn't"? You mean in the middle of an audio event or after the transient I presume. The transients are clear and pronounced, the markers are on point, It is the same straight with notes played for 5 minutes, and the amount of 'flexing' is minimal, as I've played it fairly well in time throughout. I wish I could provide some sort of demo to show you what I mean. Anyways, normalization aside, I really can't figure out what is happening with these pops and clicks. And in fact, the normalizing didn't solve anything in the end, it was just one file that worked out like that. So if you already took care of your transient markers you shouldn't be getting any clicks and pops. Usually clicks and pops occur when you start flexing audio while having transient markers where you shouldn't. Sorry if this is an easy answer)īut how can I avoid the clicks and pops that seem to be happening? (I must admit that I think there is a really easy answer for this, but for some reason my brain is not functioning. I can obviously go one by one, and add flex time markers, but is there a way in the audio editor to raise/lower the threshold of detection. But It seems to detect only about 2/3 of the transients, even though the waveform displays a relatively even and consistent audio file. A little strange because I am playing at essentially the exact same velocity for 104 measures.
In the audio file editor, with flex time is not detecting all the transients.
Because if the feature can't do this, then it surely can't tackle any more serious tasks.ĮDIT: sorry, one other thing. I feel like straight eigths is the most basic of audio quantize functions, and I must be missing something. Happy to share a snapshot of the wave form if that would help anyone deduce the problem. Maybe I'm wondering, is this a bug too? Or is there a way I can adjust a parameter like sensitivity, or some other means of removing the clicks and pops? I'm on the latest version of logic, and OS sierra, and I know there are quite a few bugs. Is there some trick I'm missing to get good results? Any tips? I've tried both rhythmic and slicing algorithms, neither solve the problem. Which renders the track totally unusable. But when I quantize the audio, I get a ton of 'clicks'. I'm a pretty capable guitar player, my rhthym is good, so I'm not far of the grid. So, I have David's book, and I've checked some YouTube tutorials, and I am playing, not totally detached, but relatively strong individual attacks on each eighth note. I've never used the quantize audio function before, but this piece is the perfect example of where one might use it. I'm recording a version of Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint, and as anyone who knows Reich's work, there is long, long section of straight eighth notes.
