    You don't have to change those values for the AENV. When you change the mode to SUSTAIN, on the next page of that menu, you can set the Release value to 0. Those 2 settings gets the same behavior.

    For anyone struggling with the right timing for the recording part of this method:
    What really helped me was changing "next clip" in the clip edit menu from "stay" to "stop" and then just pressing the sample and the play button at the same time. That way you dont have to worry about overlapping recordings.
    If you don't want your sample to start from the beginning of the pattern, it is still going to be difficult, but otherwise it works great :)
    Thanks Unit E for this helpful advice!

      Using the count-in will relieve you of having to hit play and triggering the sample at the same time. Great tip on using the stop function for the next clip parameter.

      @@UnitE808 With quantize on it's actually super easy to hit both buttons at the same time in my opinion, but sure maybe with a count in it could be even easier for some to do that. Anyways this tutorial is super helpful so thx a lot! :)

    Tnx for a great video. Is it possible to time stretch a loaded sample. Will your vocal sample follow the tempo if you change the tempo?

    • @UnitE808
      @UnitE808  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@jesperna1 you’re welcome! Unfortunately, the drum tracks do not time-stretch, so they will not adjust the speed of a sample played when the tempo is adjusted.

      It's absolutely possible and what I do often. Remember though.... drum tracks do not time-stretch samples, so you have to record at tempo.

      @@BassWorkENTRTNMT drum tracks work differently than tone tracks. Extending a trigger on a step doesn’t lengthen the sample played. It’s a trigger. Tone tracks play notes with sustain naturally occurring when holding the note. That doesn’t happen when you hold a drum trigger.
