muting/unmuting audio, realistic to do without a mess?

[Johnisfaster]

I'm getting into muting/unmuting audio tracks using the apc and although it usually goes really well sometimes it sounds a little rough, is it possible to do that without once in a while sounding crappy? maybe it just takes practice..?

practice. with M4L you can probably write a script that forces the mute buttons to work on global quantization. also turning them into hold buttons instead of toggles works much better

Ive heard of people dpoing this but when i try it its sound rubbish - it's too harsh and clicky coming on/turning off? Hopefully someone can she some light?

it would be great if I could quantize it to 16th notes, but then I might be better off just practicing it

Yeah - play the buttons rhythmically. Think "call and answer".

it takes practice, it's not a technical thing rather a musical, when to mute / unmute so it fits.

Dummy Clips perhaps?
You sacrifice an Audio Track to contain custom mutes. That way you can use quantization and apply tiny fades to avoid clicks.

oh I can feel when to mute/unmute things, thats the fun of it, but once in a while if you don't do it at precisely the right moment you kinda clip part of a sound and it sounds kinda bad. I'm just wondering if I could realistically expect to practice enough to avoid that kind of thing. it's actually quite fun to force yourself to try and do it "without a net", very engaging.
