Hi - massively enjoying using Cubasis on IPad. A small glitch in one of my projects, in that audio that I record is being shown as having an automatic time stretch applied to it. This seems to cause no practical problems - the audio event shown as ‘stretched’ is exactly what I originally played. If I manually cancel the time stretch, the audio shrinks accordingly, however - so I have to leave it as is.
A hunch is that this is to do with the global track, as this is the only project I’ve created where the tempo and time signature is set to change, later on in the song. The created audio event(s) doesn’t cross these changes, however I do recall that when I first created the file, the tempo/time signature change was set to occur earlier. I wondered whether something residual remained in the database that was confusing Cubasis and causing it to think that the event needed stretching to span the change. Just a theory and, as I say, no practical difficulties, just a little odd.
Are You using any tempo-changes in the project?
This is something I feel @LSlowak could look at with the team.
Since Cubasis can’t in advance predict eventual tempo/signature-changes I think it takes the safe route and enables stretch for all new audio files when there even one tempo/signature-change event in the project?!
Hi @alexmarsh, Hi @Samuel_Lindeman
I’ve exchanged the topic with our engineering, here comes the feedback…
If a tempo track exists, Cubasis enables auto-stretch for recorded audio events automatically, because otherwise a lot of situations could occur where the audio event surprisingly sounds out-of-sync with the metronome.
Even if after recording no tempo points lie in the range of the audio event, as soon as you create/move a tempo point or move the audio event, tempo changes within the audio event might become necessary.
If you don’t want it auto-stretched, it just takes 2 taps to turn it off. By automatically enabling it, we covered more use-cases than we would have otherwise.
Best,
Lars
Thanks Lars - all makes sense, and Samuel’s intuition was spot on.
it’s not causing me any practical problems and hardly a priority - but I’m finding a small bit of glitchiness about it that they might want to ponder on a rainy day. You can turn it off, but that shrinks the length of my events from their originally recorded length so that they don’t sync with the metronome. However, switching from auto stretch to manual 100% keeps things perfect… even though 100% should surely be the same as stretching being switched off.
So a simple workaround from my POV. (If they want to investigate further at any point, happy to send over the project file).
Thanks - appreciate your response. Really enjoying using it.
