Every time I have used granular effects on like a vocal for instance I can't use it in conjunction with the rest of the track because it goes completely off beat.
I'm just wondering how BT manages to lock his granular affected tracks in rhythmically. The the mapping to X-Y post up above was a really interesting idea. Does anyone think that's how BT does it so well? |
Time stretching algorithms always have artifacts, it's just nice to have a selection of them because they have different artifacts when used on different types of material. Something chosen as a general purpose tool won't necessarily be well suited to the way you want to use it.
Also granular synthesis is totally general, but a lot of plugin or DAW implementations aren't terribly flexible. If you're going for a very specific effect, it's sometimes better to just make it yourself.

Christ, I bet they weren't even in key with the traffic noise. Save us, BT!
