Hey, I am working a lot with continuous samples so to have a smooth transition I duplicate the sample then reverse it to be perfectly on the phase restart and do not have click. But each time I do this, cubase create a little fade and break my phase transition. is exist a way to manage this? is someone know a way to solve it?
thnks
Hello and welcome.
I can explain it to you but I am not saying that you’re gonna like the answer.
The samples of the event are actually correctly placed, there is no change of amplitude in the actual samples. What you see the interpolated waveform, you most likely have this setting enabled:
So, where does the dip come from? If you drag the beginning of the event to the left (use the handle in the lower left corner) you will see the previous samples and the most likely are at a very different amplitude value. So what you see is the transition between samples of a very different value.
How to avoid it? By making sure the last samples are on a similiar value (phase) as the first ones.
Can you actually hear any clicks?
Thanks for this well explained answer,
It still create a value jump on the sample cutted (because cubase dont quantize our cuts on sample rate so we are most of time between two values). I don’t understand why this jump appears, it means that the software reverse only the container content and do not reverse the audio before and after the edges of the container…
with few adjustements it works bit it breaks a bit the worflow
Yes, absolutely true. Because Reverse is a process of the Direct Offline Processing (DOP) and DOP allows to work on certain sections of the clip rather than altering the entire clip. This is important for other tasks but bites one in the behind in this case.
