out of tune piano vs. synth sample |
 |
*rubs his forehead*
stupid question. i've got a synth sample, and a piano sample. when i make tracks with them separately, everything sounds in tune and on key.
i've been trying to mix the two in a track recently ... synth in the background with the piano as my lead melody ... and they just don't seem to match up -- the piano seems to be just slightly off. i can have the piano sample with just about any other sample, bass lines for example, and don't have this issue. it's just with my synth.
any ideas? |

There are plenty of opportunities you can go to the instrument editor and fine tune it there, you can also open the sample window and increase/decrease the sample rate on the piano/synth sound which is set as 44.000 htz, take it up or down 50 or 100 at the time until you are satisfied, if you want to be very precise, then use a tuner like Gtune http://www.gvst.co.uk/gtune.htm to see if the 2 tones are in the same pitch.
just run them both through track 0 as well as Gtune. |

piano matches with all other samples,
synth does not match with piano?
but does synth matches with other samples?
possibility is that synth is off if the synth does not match with others,
one rare possibility more is the excessive use of chorus effect or having LFO assignment to pitch generator. |
