Additional Sound Options let you adjust the overall gain (+/–24 dB) of the selected preset and extend the slices to compensate for slower tempos.
Adjust the gain of a sound in order to boost or attenuate the current loop. To achieve a good balance between all loaded sounds, a “gain” control is available for each sound with +/– 24 dB of gain.
Since a sliced up sound can be played back at a slower tempo than its original performance, each slice may need to play for a longer duration than the original audio file length. Otherwise, a slice will stop when it reaches its end point, and sound is unnaturally truncated. Slice Extension lets you designate if and how slices can be artificially extended. Synchronic provides the following Slice Extension types:
|
Off: Adds no tail extension, however it does ramp down any DC offset that may occur at the last sample of a slice.
|
|
|
Type 1: Sounds best on loops that predominantly contain high frequencies, such as a tambourine or a hi-hat loop.
|
|
|
Type 2: Sounds most natural for most loops and is the default setting.
