Re: Making a matrix?
do you plan to do the mixing live or is this a after the fact thing?
also what kinda sources are you mixing? (aka SBD, AUD etc) No members have liked this post.

Re: Making a matrix?
Well there are many different ways to do a matrix it mostly depends on how you want to mix them and what program your using. If both sources are analogue then changing the speed can be a good way to match them together(or time stretch and then pitch correct later). But if they are both digital time stretching is the way to go as there should be no difference in pitch.
So what program are you going to use? Also a note is mixing, play them to their strengths. If one source has mostly bass guitar in it then you can afford to eq some of the low end out of the other source. No members have liked this post.

Re: Making a matrix?
What program would you recommend that I use? At the moment, all I really have is Audacity, and I use Kristal Audio Engine sometimes as well. But if you have a better idea, please tell me.
Also, could I just patch in the other source where my source cuts out? Or would that sound bad?

Are they analog sources, or digital? Analog (tape based, etc.) are notorious for speeds drifting, making phasing and flanging that are very time consuming to properly time match. I mean, we're talking hundreds of small edits per minute done manually to make them synchronized right - maybe. If they're analog, I'd just patch one with the other, but I'd crossfade the edits rather than have them cut hard from source A to source B. I've always used Cubase VST5.1 for any multi-source mixing I've done - not because it's better than anything else, but it's what I trained on and am most familiar with. Adobe Audition (Cool Edit Pro) can do it too I think. Vegas? Protools? Will the freebie Audacity work for it? Maybe consider doing the crossfaded patch idea, and also releasing both sources at the same time by themselves? Just a thought...

Re: Making a matrix?
what Audioarchivist said!
Audacity isn't all that bad... but there are better programs out there that you can get your hands on. I use Protools and it works quite well for matrixing but that is also what I was trained on. I also know a lot of people that use Cubase and Adobie Audition. If you don't do it for this matrix, I'd look in to downloading some free trials and checking them out. Audacity is great for most peoples needs but I've found that Protools makes this stuff 10x easier (once you get to know the program) No members have liked this post.

I'm attempting to mix 2 analog tracks to a digital video (2 songs only). So far I can't get more than 10 seconds at a time to match up. No members have liked this post.

So, try Vegas. I believe it's an ALT - click at the end of the file in the multitrack display (and hold!) to do stretch bend stuff. Good luck!

Re: Making a matrix?
imo Ableton Live is hands down the best tool for time stretching [Warping], especially when dealing with analogue sources where you've got constantly fluctuating tape speeds

I'll try Ableton Live as well Aaron. Haven't had any time to play with the programs yet though

Re: Making a matrix?
Ableton is a very great program for time-stretching without changing pitch. Actually I haven't made any matrixes yet, I use that app for music making.

Re: Making a matrix?
Vegas is just as EASY .... ctrl and drag the audio to stretch or shrink to exact wav. then render loop region and done...
