using repitch mode with simple delay; sync rather than time

Post by aronf13 » Tue Mar 19, 2013 9:43 pm

I recently learned a neat trick with delays and repitch mode. It can create some pretty cool sounds by putting delays in repitch mode, time rather than sync, and adjusting the delay time.

But I'd like to be able to keep the delay in sync while using this mode, and in a way that's easier and more precise than manually adjusting the time of the delay to fit with the project tempo.

Does anyone know of a way to use repitch mode with simple delay, but also keep it synced.

If not with delays, what do you suggest to create the same effect?

You could do the following:
1. Set project tempo to something nice and round (e.g. 120 bpm)
2. Automate the time parameter to the right values (e.g. using http://www.thewhippinpost.co.uk/tools/d ... ulator.htm )
3. Freeze the track and copy the audio. As long as the clip is warped, the delay will match your master tempo.
