Possible use of the Groove Pool

Post by jonel » Sat Jan 22, 2022 2:57 pm

I have composed a melody in MuseScore and I want to combine this with the rhythm of a song that I have in Ableton 11. After exporting the melody midi to an Ableton track I found that the melody was way out with regard to the rhythm of the song and I was wondering if there was a way of using the groove of the song to force the melody into line with the rhythm. I have extracted the groove from the drums (a single audio file) and thought I might be able to apply this to the melody track. I think this is only intended to modify 16/th/8th beats so the fact that it isn't making much difference says that this is a complete misuse of this feature.

I did overlay the the actual groove with the melody and adjusted the melody notes according to the groove pattern and this did give me some good results, but this was a very laborious task.

Any ideas please?
