Remove gaps between objects
After object quantization has been carried out, gaps between the objects can occur which
could lead to audible dropouts in overhead signals. The "Remove gaps between objects"
command allows you to select options to close these gaps. The function "Use next object
slice audio material" may be used to move the object start position of the object to the
right of the gap to the left until the gap is closed, or the gaps between the objects may be
filled by timestretching the objects next to the gaps. Each method can be selected in the
audio quantization wizard. The overlap (crossfade) length setting of the first option, i.e.
"Apply next audio object slice's audio material", is applied.
Undo/Redo/Reset quantization
With the help of the round arrow buttons, you can undo/redo the last quantization made.
In this case, the counter-clockwise round arrow serves as the "Undo quantization" function,
while the clockwise arrow serves as the "Redo quantization" function.
Reset MIDI quantization: This function resets all quantization processes for the object
positions.
Reset object quantization
The "Reset object quantization" resets the selected objects to the original position and also
undoes the quantization.
Audio quantization – Tutorial
1. The first step is to enable display of audio markers/transients in the display options
("Y" -> Design -> Display options -> Options -> Audio markers/Transients").
2. Load a VIP with a multi-track drum recording where the drummer has played to the
click, so that the VIP raster matches the drumming tempo.
3. Select a range for audio quantization. We recommend around 8-16 beats to guarantee
fast calculation. Analysis of transients for a complete song can take a little longer. Next,
separate the objects into the selected range size.
4. Select all drum objects, open the audio quantization dialog, and move the "Sensitivity"
slider. Beat markers should appear within the object at the transient positions. Adjust the
sensitivity so all main hits are detected. Use the "F2" and "F3" keys to jump to the previous
or next marker.
5. To cut objects for all tracks at the beginning of transients, specify the beat markers with
the "Consolidate transients" command. Samplitude adjusts the beat markers of all tracks
within a period defined in the "Time window" parameter to the beat marker position farthest
to the left.
6. To separate all quantization objects, call up the "Split at transients" command.
