Extend a clip / note so it doesn't just drop out
Posted: Tue Sep 25, 2012 4:23 pm
I'm very, very, new to music production and ableton. To my pleasure, it's fairly easy to make music once you've been listening to it and variations of the same kind for so long. I am also pleased that there are people out there/on here willing to help others out. But I digress...
The problem I am having is that in an arrangement, when the clip ends, it really ends and you can hear it if paying attention.
How do you guys n gals solve this issue? Do you make a second clip for the drop out? Do you somehow envelope(?) the ending with some effect? Is this side-chaining (which I need to read about). In the image below, you can see the green rectangle where I added a crash to make the other sound not sound horrible when it drops out. In the red area, I have no idea and is why I'm seeking the advice of others of any skill level.
Thanks for your advice and input in advance.
Oh, and I don't have any music theory experience either ... I downloaded a few charts that told me what the major and minor chords are which is why you see it at the bottom of the picture ... that's how new I am and need your assistance.
