after ripping vinyl..how do i change the original aiff file?
Posted: Sat Jan 17, 2009 12:16 am
was wondering if someone could explain how i can save the changes/export a file i bring into ableton and edit. i dunno what's up but i haven't been able to export properly... it saves a clip with nothing on it.... i don't care about analysis files because i'm only putting them through ableton to edit the tracks to my liking (mostly cropping and volume) so i can run them back into serato scratch live...or are analysis files mandatory?
to make clear, i rip my vinyl through scratch live and NOT ableton. would it be wiser to go straight into ableton?...minus the time it takes to move the file from scratch to ableton & back to scratch. I like scratch because it is so simple to record and i can enter all sorts of information and it saves it to the original file and doesn't create a separate analysis file.
what i want to do is pretty simple and i don't understand why i am struggling, but basically when i export i get the analysis file and there is nothing on the sound file when i try to test it in itunes....
and on a side note, are there any recommendations as to what i can do to make the digital file reach its potential sounding best through ableton or other softwares. i know that normalising the track will bring the volume levels up without clipping. can that only, automatically, be done when i export? i understand i can do this manually, but otherwise is the normalise function only available during export?
thanks for your time!
