Re: Creating REX files

2008-06-12 by tomdcarden

Thanks Eric,  I will keep trying with Recycle. 

Yeah i often hear clicks at each slice point.
Typically i have to take 1 or 2 percussion loops, convert to REX, and import into Stylus 
RMX. I then manipulate the timing via Quantize templates to work with whatever else is in 
the rhythm track. I've even started creating my own Q-Templates.


I've used Melodyne to manipulate the timing of drums but there are limitations with 
Melodyne. There is no tick information that you can see. There is a function to quantize to 
'Other' but i've gotten mixed results.

Anything having to do with Quantizing, manipulating the timing of audio is of huge 
interest to me!

thanks, T
