Bug Description
When in the sample editor, using certain effects with a 72s sample imported as ‘low quality’, pressing ‘preview’ plays the sample back at a ridiculously fast speed. Not at all what it should sound like. This is only a cosmetic issue, as the ‘apply’ button doesn’t apply the sample speed increase as the preview suggests, but it’s really hard to get a feel for effects when I have a long sample I’m beat slicing. I happened to do a bunch of things in the sample editor prior to this happening which i’ll list in the steps below.
The effects where the sample is sped up are:
all of the ones that involve the preview button as far as i can tell
This one I haven’t seen posted about yet — I am not sure yet if it’s a bug that is in the beta only, or if this will happen if i try this on the latest stable release.
Steps to Reproduce
- Record a sample using the line-in on the tracker mini
a. Create a new project, don’t save it yet, so it has no name.
b. go straight from new project to sample recorder. - After cropping out any silence in the beginning/end, the sample is 72.849 seconds.
- Crop the sample to that automatically suggested length, and then hit ‘save and import’.
a. Name the sample ‘nachoman’.
b. gain at 0 for the sample recording - Go to the sample loader page, and import the sample again but this time use the ‘import low quality’ option, put that on instrument 2.
a. Use the ‘import’ button for loading all samples, unless otherwise stated.
b. Now we have 2 samples named the same, 1 is the original recording, 2 is the low-quality import - Import a oneshot kick over-top sample 1 using ‘add’ instead of ‘import’
a. You will have just over-written the original high quality version of the sample you recorded in step 1. - Import the sample recorded in step 1, using the file browser, and put a high quality version on instrument 3.
- Go to the sample editor.
- Go to any of the effects that I wrote, such as overdrive, or chorus.
- The sample will play back at the wrong speed when previewing effects.
- Switch to the high-quality version using the instrument button and - key
- Be sad when it tells you to choose another sample because this one is too long.
I haven’t set up any slices yet, or even changed the mode, but I don’t see why you would have to set that up before making edits to the full sample such as compression. I cannot edit the high quality version so i import the low quality and the editing works, not sure if this itself is a bug since it doesn’t mention importing at a lower quality, only to choose another sample. Either way, please keep this functionality!! I use it all the time to gain the ability to edit longer samples and add effects. I just wish the preview was real, right now my workaround is just applying and using undo, thank god for undo.
