Hi Julian, Sonar is the folow-up to Cakewalk or Cubase Like program. It features Audio and Midi tracks. But!!!!!... The audio track support has some very interesting features. I discovered the usefulnes of them during the remix sessions. For example: For a guy who wnated to go solo on stage I also remixed a couple of his tracks to give them a sort of oldschool hiphop flavour. At first I was programming my drummachines, but then I took a bunch of my own sampled loops (with different bpm's) and added them to the other tracks in Sonar. Sonar detectets automatically (near to perfect, but not yet there) the measure and tempo of the loops. In an instand I had constructed a session with various loops which made it easier for me to decide what would best fit the song. I've never worked with Re-Cycle appart form a very old beta/demo release. So I can't give you any comments on that. For resampling tempo and such of loops, I now always tend to turn to Sonar. I set the bpms of the master song, add the loop I need to be altered. Have Sonar locate the measures in the loop and adjust to my preferences. Then I can export the adjusted loop to a WAV file and use it in other programs or sampling devices. I wrote to Soundforge about this and told them to give some more attention to a feature like this in their software. I got liitle reply, but in the end, the stated that their program ACID loops. could also do it. Not true. At least not in the easy and simple way one can achieve ones goal in Sonar. - However. Although the resampling and re-timing (not stretching) of drum and bass samples works very fine, there are ofcourse some difficulties with voice/singing samples. But that's something one has to pay some attention to while adjustng the samples. There is a live playback during the editing of the timing and so one can fiddle around with it until it is good or just as best as possible. - Sonar itself is a odd program when one is used to Cakewalk, logic or Cubase. But it's more the interfacing than how it works. I started out with the pro24 on Atari machines and became then used to Cakewalk. Sonar seemed a good upgrade from Cakewalk Pro, but in a hurry as always I fall back to CWalk 9. - Have a look at www.cakewalk.com for some more info. - Rene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julian Kovalsky" <julzmon@mac.com> To: "The moon: beautiful.

Hey!
All this talk about samples...
In my years of working with samples and tuning them for use, I came to good results with software packages like:
Soundforge = the obvious choice. current version 6.
The time stretching and simply cutting and pasting of the intervals in the sample can give usable results.
Futher more there is Sonar from the Cakewalk studio's. This would be the best choice if you're not into doing the hard work yourself.
Place the reference sample loop on one track and the to be edited on the second track. Now with the Sonar looping tools the sample can be cut/dittered and reshaped to fit exactly the reference sample loop.
I used Sonar to remix a rockband who had a drummer during their demo recordings who... well.. could keep up the beat. And so I re-synced the pore guy's work with sonar. A mayor job but the results were that good that it still had the real life drum feel and not a steady drumcomputer like pace.
Hope this will help ya out.

You're right or maybe try another frequency to play it at the good tempo you want to ...

Hi Juhana,
I just wonder...how did you get the Mounted By The Gods samples/loops?
I think the only way to synchronize them is to shorten or lenghten them so that they fit together :-(....the only solution I have got to so far.
