Imprecision while consolidating

Post by Kirinyaga » Fri Jan 20, 2023 7:04 pm

Hi everyone,

Whenever I am editing my drums in WAV format, the consolidation tool often produces a slight shift to the right or to the left in the sound wave graphics.

Let's say the drums are precise on beats 1 to 4 but not perfect on beat 5. I then select beat 5, consolidate it, zoom in at the maximum and shift it slightly to the right or to the left so that the beginning of the graphic wave hits precisely on beat 5. Then I consolidate the whole thing: beats 1 to 5.

That's were my problem shows up: the position of the wave is not exactly the same before and after consolidation, which means I have to readjust it, but then when I consolidate it gets shifted again.

I've tried with and without warp: it doesn't change much.

Please help. I've been looking for a solution for ages.

Thanks in advance,

Kir
