Lee,
Thanks for the inputs. Reading between the lines I'm getting that
there are no trackers that you know of that are capable of plugging a
wave file in and running it, in time, like Acid can?
I've not don't much with time streatching programs before under
Linux. I think they are out there. Presuming that no one else shows up
and rescues us from this problem it appears that is the way to go I
guess.
thanks.
In Acid you can choose any loop you want as a
starting point, paint
it in for a number of measures and then set the tempo that you want
the song to run at. Acid takes responsibility for resampling the loop
behind the scenes so that the loop plays right. (I.e. - starts and
ends on the beat.
How do we do this in Cheesetracker?
I think a few people have proposed a generalized loop stretching/beat
matching library. Not sure if it exists yet. This seems to be an area
where proprietary software is a little ahead.
FWIW a friend of mine met the guy who wrote Ableton Live. He said the
beat matching code took him about three months to write.
All that work and it still only works that well, 'eh?
