spoken voice syncing

[djcaptain]

Hey, can anyone recommend a tutorial on syncing up spoken voice, not vocals, to a track? Thanks.

Allow your creative flow..........it's there, trust me........

You can do that by warping, what will cause variable speech timing and probably sound quite experimental. Or you can cut the whole track into pieces and put the speach phrases to the points of your backing, where you need them. Or you combine both methods. Put your backing and the speach track into arrangement view, match the song tempo to the tempo of the backing and start playing around.

Did you read what he asked for? - When I got him right, he wants to sync spoken words that are already recorded to a track that the vocals don't fit to in rhythm. He doesn't seem to look for a fsu tutorial.

Thanks for your replies. I just wondered if there was some technique for syncing up speech recorded from the Internet to the tempo of the song. This is done a lot in psytrance. Sometimes it's in time, sometimes not. What I've been doing is looping then cropping segments of speech and pasting them into the track in the arrangement view, but I don't necessarily want to distort the voice. I guess there isn't a way to not distort the voice if you warp the sample...

Yeah, your best bet is to chop the sample into sentences, groups of words, or even individual words (depending on the rhythm of the speech). Line all that up in time as best you can, then go into each segment and warp on "complex pro" to fine tune it to fit.
