Static sound when using Nodes to mix audio files
Hi - I'm pretty beginner so this might be an obvious fix. I am using nodes to mix between different audio files. However when I move from one node to another there's a distinct static sound happening. Is this my driver? Do I need any additional line or ramp to smooth things out?
This is based off of this YouTube tutorial.
Thanks!
yes, you need to smooth volume changes.
for example using 4 in / 1 out matrix~ with 25 ms ramp time
Thanks! That worked great. Any tips on how I might be able to record a multichannel file from this matrix? I can't seem to get it to work - have tried a variety of mc. objects.
why mc ?
you use sfrecord~ with as many channels as needed, open recording file and off you go.
but in that patch you use,
matrix~ output is MONO, where would you record multichannel from ?
pre - matrix~ fade ?
maybe like this ?
would give you 4 channel file with each channel´s fade I/O
and audio output to stereo.
I personally dislike mc stuff for this simple few channe stuff.
Sorry! I'm def a beginner. So what I'm going for is an 8 channel file that has all the various amplitude panning that I can get from the nodes object.
Before I added the matrix I was able to map each audio file to the sfrecord~ 8 - then record a 8 channel file. Now that the matrix is used to route - I can't seem to figure out how to do this step.
Does this make sense? Again - sorry I'm super beginner!
no problem, I thought that you want only mono output.
take that 4 channel matrix and extend it to 8 shannels.
It could be also done using mc objects,
I simply dislike them.
if you want to try mc stuff, just pass gain list from nodes to one of mc objects that can use it,
link 8 players to mc.pack, mc.sfrecord~ etc etc.
I just tried that and for some reason when I output the 4 channel file - only the first channel has info.
why do you connect all players to same 1st matrix inlet ?
open matrix~ help file and look a bit arround there to get and idea
about inputs, outputs and control.
ugh.. yea that was a dumb mistake on my part.
Just tried with new gain list - that was where I was going wrong in previous attempts.
All good - thanks a million!
all ok , have fun mixing
