PT copy and paste

[HOTC]

I wanna copy a snare sample to the snare thats already recorded in PT and wondering how to do it so it alligns with the snare already recorded seeing as the snare recorded isnt on the beat all the time
I know some will say use drumagog but i dont think drumagog is the best program in the world,,,actually its not great at all
Thanks

Do you want to copy/paste, or do you want to use a program to do it?

If you manually do it, use tab to transients to make lining things up easier.

If you have sound replacer (or have a friend with it), that's a good way to replace hits as well.

Massey DTM. thumbsup

I bought Massey De sser and it said i would get that DTM but i never got it,which was werid

[gainreduction]

If you go to Massey´s registered users area and login to your account it should be there waiting to be downloaded. The key should be the same as the de-esser and the plug-in should find it automatically.

If any of this fails, e-mail Massey. It´s free if you are a registered owner of any of the other plugins.

Sound replacer works great for this...sometimes you need to tweak a hit or two, but it is pretty easy...

I just magnify the original snare track as far as I can and still being able to recognize the snare hit and I put an empty track underneath that and paste the sample on the track under the original snare track and align them. I know that method takes a while but I do it all the time and my clients absolutely love the outcome.

using tab to transient and spotting will make manual replacement go faster

[HOTC]

yeah been doing all that
taking forever..such is life e
Thanks for all the help
Dont know is there a paste to markers fuction on PT?

You can duplicate the track and delete what you don't want.

Are you having issues with Drumagog?

I'll second the motion for Tab to Transient.
It's the fastest way to get where you're going.

Tab to transient is really easy if your only replacing a few samples but if you need to do it on every hit, no thanks! Thats hours of extra work especially if its a full album but i guess YMMV. My first initial problem with drumagog was when the sensitivity would be off, but once you set it in a neutral spot, you can adjust the sensitivity in the few parts that sound off using the auto button on the plug (like any other plug) and adjust accordingly. Or was it something completely different that bugged you about drumagog?

If you're using the sample with to beef up the original rather than replace it, that's the only way to fly.

I will concur.

I like to duplicate the snare track, tab to transient the new snare on one track and blend the two. Otherwise I dupe the snare in the playlist and then TtT.

I have the massey DTM and you might have to adjust a few of the midi notes around before committing the new snare track as audio.

If I use it (mostly not for my own songs, but for modern bands productions) I use "beatdetective". Use that to find trigger points, copy your sample on a track below the orginal and now you can copy - paste real fast...

I record all of my stuff on the grid so you can just copy a bar and then duplicate as much as need be. If you are not on the grid, then it will take a while. I have tried out the beat detective but didn't get very far, anybody got a good tutorial on how to use it? Thanks!

Here's a little tip that makes things a little easier when adding a sample to a snare in PT.

Copy the new snare sample in to the copy buffer. Create a new track for your sample and place it above your original snare track. Group the new snare track with the original snare track. Use "tab to transient" on the original snare track to locate the snare transient and then push V on your keyboard. The new sample will paste onto it's new track without doing anything to the original snare track. Make sure that the A-Z is on ( to the right of the "tab to transient" on/off button).

Oh yeah, you can do a duplicate playlist on the original snare and then use strip silence to strip everything on the snare track except the transients and then do the paste trick.
