A quick video today - someone on the Akai Force Users Facebook group asked for a tutorial about matching / pitching drum loops to fit any project tempo, so here it is. Super easy, just takes a few taps of the touchscreen...

Hey Maxipok, not sure if you have a video on this but how do you "fix" a old samples that may contain drums that don't fall "exactly" in time? Meaning for example an old 70's Soul music sample loop that is "90 BPM" but at times (due to variations in human error etc.) a certain point in the loop isn't perfectly on time and you need to nudge the sample a bit here and there so that it loops correctly. i.e. the "1,2,3,4" in the sample lands exactly on the "1,2,3,4" of the metronome on your modern machine? I hope that makes sense. Thanks ahead of time.

The only way I know of to do that on Force is to chop the loop up into small slices, one per drum hit, and then manually sequence the beat so it’s on the grid. If you have Ableton Live, you could bring the sample in there and use warp markers to align the drum hits with the grid, then bounce it out and use it in Force. Third option is to mess around with swing on the Force and see if that can help your other patterns sit nicely with the groove of the original sample.

I had a Maschine Plus but despite falling deeply in love with the looks and WFlow, it really was a pathetic effort by NI. I sent it back but dream about it still. However, what about The Force? Do you think this is an easy WFlow for a non Ableton user to master?

@MaxipokMusic Год назад

M+ and Force both have a clips / scenes workflow, it’s just presented slightly differently, so you should find that quite easy to pick up. Force can do a lot more ‘stuff’ so it’s a bit more complex and takes a little longer to get to know, but I don’t think it’s inherently harder to learn than Maschine.

Great. Is it necessary to pitch the sample up in order to match the project tempo? Can you not retain the sample's original pitch? Thx

@MaxipokMusic 5 месяцев назад

Force has warping which is real time effect that will match a sample to the project tempo and retain pitch (same idea as Ableton’s warp), but to be honest it’s rubbish. Uses quite a lot of CPU and if you go much more than 5 or 6 bpm in either direction it falls apart. The other way is to use time stretch, which is a destructive version of warp. I’ve found it works pretty well on drum loops, even when it introduces artefacts it still sounds ok in a crunchy sort of way, but it struggles with melodic loops. So to answer your question, yes, sort of!

@@MaxipokMusic Thanks for the advice. I've seen that warp button. I'll try both and see what the results are.
