'Nudging' audio on timeline in tiny sample increments?
'Nudging' audio on timeline in tiny sample increments?
I was just watching a tutorial on drum layering that was done in Reaper, and the demonstrator was using a 'nudge' command in Reaper to move his audio in very specific, micro-increments - such as moving a waveform one sample to the right.
He was demonstrating phase cancellation, and the different textures you can get with two layered kicks, just by shifting one every so slightly to the left and right.
Is there anyway that you can specify such specific moves in Ableton? Or do you simply just turn of the grid, and zoom in as much as possible?

I miss the nudgets...

There once was nudges?
(and no, I don't mean for DJing)

no I don't think so But I mean from other DAW...protools and Co

no there is nop nudge in live. I miss this fueature too. as a workaround you could use the track delay (change it from ms to samples)

You can nudge midi notes on the Push, though.

I use this all the time on Logic.
This is the kind of detail that Ableton miss that is incredibly frustrating!

- turn off grid (PC: Control & 4, )
- select what you want to nudge (EG: start marker, or loop brace)
- use arrow keys on computer keyboard
If you want to invert phase for experimental kick drum stacking you are better off using Utility's phase switches.
protip: hold alt to nudge the start and end markers synchronously.

MMMMhh,
this is not exactly what I call nudge.
Nudge for me is :
-moving a whole clip, or extending its starting bracket or its ending brackets inside a track accordingly to a premade interval (accordingly to grid or within some userdefined interval -from sample to XXX msec) Using the arrow keys and not some click-move'n drop action...

I don't understand how that is different than what Angstrom suggested... (?)erikomic wrote:MMMMhh,

well, it doesn't work...ttilberg wrote: I don't understand how that is different than what Angstrom suggested... (?)
markers and loopbrace are in the timeline (the scrub zone)... clips are on a track.
Re: 'Nudging' audio on timeline in tiny sample increments?
I now understand what you mean. I suppose that is true. I don't work with straight audio often, I'm usually dealing with audio trapped inside a Simpler/Sampler, which is extremely easy to nudge. I guess I'd just use track delay to accomplish what is sought.

The OP wants to move his audio, and that's the solution I provided.
Moving the container tends to be a less good idea than moving the container content.
Slip-edits are normally performed within the clip, moving the content while the container retains its positioning. This method does that. Additionally it does snap to whatever you set your grid to. Snap off means the nudges are determined partially by zoom, snap on and it'll jump to your snap setting. I've never wanted to nudge my container (my clip) so it's off grid, only my content. Doing it that way you keep timing accurate makers.
That's slip editing. I use it a lot
This same sort of editing is shown in this video app image. Clip 2 is offset.

Don't mean to be rude Angstrom, but are you actually using ABLETON LIVE to do that ?
-NUDGE editing.
-SLIP editing.
I'd like to hear a detailed method of how to do that simply.
Or maybe can you point a Tutorial.
