Hi - I’ve been trying to troubleshoot this for a day or so.
I’ve been editing drum tracks and using the hitpoint detection + create midi notes for replacement purposes fine until yesterday. Now with any track I set hitpoints for and use ‘create midi notes’, nothing is generated.
The results are not always the same - sometimes a clip is generated with nothing in it (sometimes a sizeless clip that can’t be zoomed into, other times up to a bar long), other times there is just nothing. I have played with the threshold and intensity, I have tried different tracks and tried using different destinations. Same results, with only one exception: at one point I was able to generate a midi track by removing all hitpoints and then detecting them again. This solution never worked again since, however.
I have opened up previously saved copies of the session and the functionality returns as normal, so I guess this project iteration is somehow corrupted. It’s just SUPER frustrating because of the work that’s been done since the last saved version I would rather not lose…
Anyone else experienced this and have a solution or workaround (besides the obvious project rollback)?
UPDATE - rolling back no longer seems to work. I was able to load a previous save and generate one MIDI track for rack toms, but when I tried again to create a MIDI track for the floor tom, I got the ‘sizeless’ clip scenario happening. Reloaded the file and was able to create it on the first try, but then when I tried on the second rack tom track, same deal - sizeless clip. Reloaded again, expecting it to work at least for the first try, but this time it just keeps happening no matter what I try.
I don’t understand this at all.
I tried things like deleting all the other tracks and changing from linear to musical mode and back etc…nothing changes the outcome. This is driving me crazy…
Oh brother, I feel your pain - I’ve just come across this today and spent a good few hours pulling what’s left of my remaining hair out trying to figure out why I was getting the same ‘small clip with single MIDI note’ generated from my many hitpoints that I’d successfully generated and tweaked.
I put a call out on the Sound On Sound forum and was lucky enough to get a super quick reply from Matt Houghton who’s on their team - you’ve probably done the same (quite reasonable) thing as I did after detecting hitpoints from your track - namely auditioning / moving / deleting the slices created at the generated hitpoints.
Here’s the gotcha:
When you do this, the last slice you audtioned stays selected and is the only hitpoint that will generate a MIDI note… aaaargh. Obvious but in a kind of Steinbergy way.
