Tips For Synchronizing Clips; Work With Slicer Pads - 1010music Blackbox 3.0 User Manual

Tips for Synchronizing Clips

■ Make sure your WAV file starts at the beginning of a measure and ends at end of a
measure. There should be no blank space at either end and it should loop cleanly at
full length.
■ Help blackbox determine the beat count. Blackbox will use the following methods
in this order to identify the beat count:
Look at the BeatCount parameter when it is not Auto
▪
Look for a valid ACID Tag in the WAV file that includes the beat count
▪
Try to calculate it using the following assumptions:
▪
□ the time signature is 4:4
□ the beat count is a power of two (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ...)
□ the clip tempo is close to the current clock tempo

Work with Slicer Pads

Slicer mode is useful when a single WAV file has multiple sections that you want to
trigger independently. For example, if you have a drum riff, you may want to trigger
different drum hits within the drum riff independently. Or if you have a recording of a
vocal track, you may get an interesting effect if you skip around to playback different
words or phrases over time.
In order to use Slicer mode effectively, you will need to identify slices
within the WAV file. Blackbox can automatically detect the slice
points within the wave file, and you can manually add or remove
slice points. The WAV files in the folder \LOOPMASTERS\01
Loops\Drums and Perc\Full Drum Loops are good examples to try
with Slicer mode.
