APPLYING DIFFERENT FX TO DIFFERENT CLIPS IN THE SAME TRACK

Sebastian · Post by **Sebastian** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 1:03 am

Ive been digging in manual...........but....... cant seem to find....

Suppose I have 2 different guitar riffs/clips on the same track....

Can I apply different effects to each clip so that they have their rown effects without affecting the other? Or do effects affect all clips in the same track?

thanks [/b]

ummmmmmm......................That would be a hell no.

rerecord the clips with the desired effects

......i suspected that would be the answer.

in that case, can you suggest what is the best way to "clone" that track, so that I may keep the settings of the track shared by the two clips.....?

Well it depends on your effects.
If one of them has a parameter that effectively turns the effect on and off (like wet/dry amount in Reverb) then you can use an automation envelope in the clip to turn that parameter up (having turned the knob on the effect to zero) for just that clip.

Easiest to just bounce the audio clip with effect to another track, though.

David_T is right, this IS possible with the clip envelope editor.

lets say you have a Reverb and Simple Delay on Track 1.

and you have 2 clips, "Guitar Lick 1" and "Guitar Lick 2" in that track.

you want Guitar Lick 1 to get a wash of Reverb, but Guitar Lick 2 you only want to get Simple Delay.

so for Guitar Lick 1, go into the Envelope editor for that clip
select Simple Delay, and then Select Dry/Wet - now draw the envelope for that clip all the way down (-50% = totally dry for delay). Now Guitar Lick 1 gets no Delay, and only Reverb.

Guitar Lick 2, go into the Envelope editor for that clip
select Reverb, and then Select Dry/Wet - now draw the envelope for that clip all the way down (0.00% = totally dry for reverb). Now Guitar Lick 2 gets no Reverb, and only Delay.

bouncing a track:

play back only the clip you want to "bounce" (aka "resample)

open a new Audio Channel, set the input to "Resample"
record into a new clip.. now your new clip is just audio, all FX, envelope changes, etc. are recorded into the new clip - and you can play it back as:is.
