Gsnap, compressed audio, midi
Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2011 10:40 pm
Hello,
I'm new to LMMS having only used programs like Audacity before but never a full DAW. I tried Gsnap in audacity but audacity doesn't do realtime effects so it wasn't working out. I then tried it in source forge, worked better but I wanted to use the audio sampling part as well as the midi part. So in LMMS what I tried to do was open an mp3 sample track, but that didn't work. I was only ever able to open WAV files whether it was from the song editor or the AudioFileProcessor. So I converted the sample to WAV and opened it in the song editor. If I added Gsnap to the effects chain of that sample, I could see gsnap getting input hear it working but that is only good for "fixed" effects, not midi. So I tried adding gsnap through VeSTige. I was able to get gsnap to respond to vestige's on screen midi keyboard, but my sample audio was not picked up by gsnap when I pressed play. I can hear it playing, it is coming through master "0" and vestige is set to fx channel "0" so I don't know what is wrong. Any suggestions on how to make this work, and/or thoughts on why compressed audio like mp3s won't import?
I am running on windows 7 x64, with lmms x64. My sound card is an asus xonar DS if that helps.
Thanks
PS I would also like to know how to use a midi file with gsnap, so that gsnap will be auto-tuning the digital sample to whatever tune that midi file is playing.
