FL studio help speeding up your tracks

[GRAFIK]

I wanted to know if anybody knows how to speed up or slow down a track once you have it complete. I use only samples and i make sure they fit the beat and if i speed it up or slow it down it just doesnt fit anymore. Is there a way to speed up or slow down a track and have nothing changed??? Like the MPC i know you can do this, but dont know about FL........................and help please!!!!

Are the samples sliced like the way the Frutiy Slicer does it? Give an example of a problem channel.

[GRAFIK]

no i do all my slices and open them up in my sequencer, not in fruity slicer, sometimes, but the track i want to speed up, i imported the samples in the sequencer

 

[AKP]

Yeah there's no way for Fruity Loops to take hitpoints to pitch samples with a beat that I know of without using slicer.

N E one else got any ideas. I've experienced this before.

if you chop all ur samples to like a beat or two beats or a bar, then go in and timestretch it in FL on the channel window even tho its already where u want it, this makes it so if u change hte tempo it will stretch or speed up the sample according to the tempo, not sure if this is what u meant

 

[GRAFIK]

yeah i know i could do that, but honestly that is too much time to timestetch all those samples, i might have to do it like that, but i wish there was an easier way, to speed up a track and have everything intacked

 

[KENWOP]

i know what your saying i dont have an answer for you but what i do is export the beat to another program like acid or adobe and speed it up there and you wont have that prob

 

[AKP]

You could use ableton as a rewire or something, plays real nice with samples.

The easiest way to accomplish this feat would be to resample all your channels, right click on the time knob and set your beat/bar length (ex.4 beat loops is 1bar,8beat is 2 ect......). This way when you change the tempo of the track your samples wll automatically change with it.

 

[trebeatz]

yeah man i wish there was like a timestretch all function, and it sucks cus if u make a preset sampler empty, and default stretch it to like 1 beat and then copy and paste, then drop a sample in, it doesnt stayed stretched to 1 beat, itll ahve th same channel you routed it too, same everything, but it wont keep the timestretch properties, sucks

 

[bodega]

just export to acid or cakewalk then chang up.

 

[Formant024]

just fit all your samples and edit the bpm in an automation event.

 

[GRAFIK]

yeah originally i did this, but after the track was complete, i wanted to speed it up, but i did go back in and timestretch them, but it sucked, i wish there was a timestretch all function

 

[Bobby Ffitch]

the mpc cant really do that either. its a tedious process.

 

[GRAFIK]

i was watching the pete rock video and he did this no problem with the MPC, or it looked easy, dont know...................

 

[trebeatz]

yeah originally i did this, but after the track was complete, i wanted to speed it up, but i did go back in and timestretch them, but it sucked, i wish there was a timestretch all function

id have to say this is hte biggest annoyance i have encountered in FL studio, having to go in and restretch everything, they really need to implement that feature

mpc4k perhaps, but I think he has beatz n samples nicely chopped, the rest is envelope. I believe FL does this nicely but in some cases it wont come out good. It wont come out good because it would be to hard to replicate a 1 on 1 recording, transposed, without any distortion of sound. But there are basic techniques and limits, such as classical music etc, timestretch all you want but it only becomes usefull when popping a lp filter 1/2 down the knob. Drums work the best because drums that are interesting for hiphop are short n stabby ( no fool stretches an 808 kick ), but if there's heavy rides, cymbals etc ( drums with longer sustain ) it will suck donkeyballs ( unless you gate it before using the sample ).

Be moderate with pitch knob, a minor 5 degrees tweak is already a huge range.
