Question about stitching together drum tracks

So let’s say I’m working on a song and have to record the drums to the verse separately from the drums to the chorus. Same exact mic arrangement, same drums, same drummer, just two different takes. If I record the two takes on two different sets of tracks (for simplicity let’s say there’s a snare tr...

Re: Question about polarity/phase flip

I’m kind of confused what you mean, and the point is to have them in the same direction Matching phase is about more than simply taking two wave forms and inverting one of them. Often that amount of phase change can still have enough issues to be a noticeable problem. Sometimes zooming in on a wave...

Then, instead of using Utility or doing any destructive editing, you can simply offset your audio file a tiny bit so the waveforms of your 2 tracks are going in an opposite direction.

Re: Question about polarity/phase flip

I think with almost all editing I would like to go a non-destructive route, but phase is just something in my mind where I would like to just deal with it and have my tracks in phase to where I could visually see it in the waveform and not have the utility or any plugins laying around cluttering thi...

Re: Question about polarity/phase flip

the Utility device inverts the polarity on the fly during playback, so the stored/displayed waveform doesn't change. if you recorded the signal post-Utility then that waveform would look different. also, while we are on the subject, although the terms are often used interchangeably (and incorrectly...

Question about polarity/phase flip

Hi! Noob question here: I was watching a friend work on a Pro Tools project and I noticed that when he zoomed in far enough to see the polarity of his tracks, when he flipped the phase you could actually see it in the waveform. But when I use the utility plug-in to flip phase in Ableton, I can hear ...

Re: Question about moving transients

Hi! This is my first post here so forgive me if this is the wrong place or a dumb question. I'm pretty new to Ableton, last night I recorded and mixed a project on it for the first time. It was four songs comprising of just two acoustic guitars. Some parts needed to be quantized and I found it supe...
