Audiotrack

olosch · started 2017-07-06 08:36 · updated 2023-03-01 09:26 · closed

An audiotrack is a single channel device which allows you to add a library sample to your track. When you drag an audiotrack device to the desktop, a corresponding audio track is automatically created in the timeline. You can then drag a sample from the sample browser into the audiotrack's corresponding audio track in the timeline.
NOTE: It is possible to drag a loop straight from the sample browser to the desktop. An Audiotrack will then be automatically created and the sample added to the timeline.

i dont think it's possible

2018-09-14 01:00 · 2018-09-14

how do you use a sound on an audiotrack more than once? I do not see where you can copy and paste it to other locations on the track.

2018-09-14 01:12 · 2018-09-14

On the corresponding audio track on the timeline, you can drag the right edge of the audio region to loop the audio as many times as you need. You can also CTRL-click the audio region to create a copy, or Shift+CTRL-click to create a virtual copy.

2018-11-07 21:36 · 2018-11-07

You should probably deactivate the "Autoconnect" option in your preferences panel.

2018-11-13 18:44 · 2018-11-13

How do you even add notes?

2018-11-13 18:57 · 2018-11-13

The Audiotrack doesn't use notes, it's not a synth. It uses samples. Just drag them from the sample panel on the right into an audio track on your timeline.

2018-11-15 17:19 · 2018-11-15

how do you make a loop

2018-11-16 05:50 · 2018-11-16

Just drag the right border of an audio region on the timeline to the right. The audio will loop for the whole length of the region.

2019-03-15 17:50 · 2019-03-15

Just drag a sample from the sample panel on the right onto the desktop. An audiotrack device will be created automatically. You can also drag samples to the corresponding track in the timeline.

2019-03-15 17:51 · 2019-03-15

Just click the out arrow connector at the top and drag the mouse to an input audio connector somewhere else in your arrangement. A cable will be created.

2019-04-05 22:05 · 2019-04-05

You can play one sample per track in your timeline. Each track may contain different samples, but normally it makes sense to add a new device for each sample.

2019-04-06 01:26 · 2019-04-06

"You can play one sample per track in your timeline. Each track may contain different samples" Both statements contradict each other.

Known As I · reply
2019-04-06 20:48 · 2019-04-06

I rewrote this many times but I'm still struggling to express what I mean: "You can play one sample 'simultaneously' per track in your timeline. Each track may contain different samples" hopefully better :) Maybe you can help me to improve the wording. (it doesn't help that this device is called "AudioTrack" and that it can be controlled by "audio tracks")

2019-04-07 00:13 · 2019-04-07

Yes, I know what you mean :) Actually an AudioTrack device can have more than one audio track in the timeline and each one can have more than one sample. So you can in fact play more than one sample simultaneously from a single device (but one from a single timeline track, if that's what you meant) :)

How do you import an audiotrack to your project from your google drive?

2019-04-20 17:57 · 2019-04-20

You can't do it directly. First you have to upload your sound to the AT sample database through Probe. Then it will show up in the sample panel, where you can drag it to your desktop. But before you even do that you have to make sure that there are no copyright issues with the sound you want to upload.

2019-04-28 18:19 · 2019-04-28

Does the silent audiotrack have an audio region on the timeline to play? Is the region or the track muted? Is the audiotrack device itself muted or its volume turned down?

2019-05-21 19:05 · 2019-05-21

when i put the "donald trump make america great again" sample into the audiotrack it slows it down for some reason. i didnt use any effects, just audiotrack and master output. the sample itself was perfect. whats going on?? i want to make a dank trumpstep song (i just coined that XD)

2019-07-05 17:31 · 2019-07-05

2019-07-05 17:33 · 2019-07-05

Chose "Create Audio Track" on the device's context menu. This will add another audio track to this device on the timeline.

You can right-click on the Level fader and add an automation track.

I don't think I'm able to add a timeline clip for the AudioTrack. I can drag it in to the desktop but I'm not able to add a timeline clip. What do I do?

2019-08-29 07:10 · 2019-08-29

If there's already an Audiotrack on the desktop, open the timeline view (Shift+2 or Shift+3) and drag a sample from the sample browser to the Audiotrack's audio track. If there's no audio track in the timeline, create one by right-clicking the Audiotrack on the desktop and choosing "Create Audio track".

if you double-click the sample, towards the edges of the waves you'll see little square handles. Click and drag them to stretch the sample.

2019-09-16 21:33 · 2019-09-16

Alternatively, you can use the "Speed" effect on the Rasselbock.

Inside the Studio, choose Project > Sample Upload > Upload Sample... The Probe sample editor will open in a new tab. Choose Record in the dialogue box. Probe will use whatever audio input is configured in your system. After recording you can process your sample and upload it to the Audiotool sample database, where it will be available for your arrangement.

ls there a way to cut down sample shorter

Open the Audiotrack's audio track on the timeline and drag the right edge of the audio region to shorten it.

Right-click your Audiotrack device on the desktop and choose "Create Audio Track" from the context menu.

2020-03-15 21:50 · 2020-03-15

Yes, if you stretch the sample, the pitch will change.

Is there a way to turn an AudioTrack into a preset for like a Heisenberg or something? I've sampled a single note but I want to be able to have more notes around that one note if that makes sense.

2020-03-18 18:22 · 2020-03-18

I think you're talking about pitching a sample chromatically. You can do that in a limited way with the Machiniste.

2020-03-25 00:46 · 2020-03-25

can you please make it so that you can pitch samples without putting the sample in the machiniste, putting it in the machiniste fine tunes the sample, which makes the sample "fade out" at the end. what im saying is that can you add a feature that changes the pitch of a sample without fine tuning it or altering the length

Pitch shifting would be the domain of a sampler which has been requested multiple times.

If you want to import a sample, choose Project > Sample Upload > Upload Sample.This will open Probe, AT's sample editor. Choose Browse on the dialogue and load your audio file. Then choose File > Upload in Probe to load the sample to your library. Close Probe, then click the Samples right panel and the My tab. Find your sample and drag it to the desktop. It will appear as an Audiotrack device and an audio region on your timeline.

Is there a way to shift the audio an octave down or something like that?

2020-06-16 15:55 · 2020-06-16

not in the timeline, you can put in a machiniste and pitch down, but then when you do that, you negate any time stretching that you need

2020-08-13 00:09 · 2020-08-13

Then choose File > Upload and fill in the details of your sample. Then click Upload. Your sample should be available on the sample panel under the tab My (my samples).

You can use audio events. Double-click an audio region on the timeline to expand it and double-click somewhere on the waveform to create an audio event. Drag it around to change the pitch and playback speed of that segment.

If you mean a single device with two audio tracks on the timeline and audio regions on each, you should hear both. Check that neither one of the regions or one of the audio tracks are muted.

2021-04-17 00:28 · 2021-04-17

2021-05-13 11:57 · 2021-05-13

Audiotool isn't a website meant to upload music. More to make music from scratch. Samples are supposed to be simple loops or one shots used in the creation of a track, not whole songs. Consider Soundcloud to upload whole songs.

Questions without any context are hard to answer. Please provide more details. What audio do you mean? Where is it coming from? What is your audio chain? Thanks.

Hi, I would like to know how to attach a wav song to make it part of my composition... before I could do it, I know there is a way... thanks for reminding me

As long as your WAV file doesn't infringe any copyrights, choose Project > Sample Upload > Upload Sample on the top menu bar and follow the instructions.

I can't hear my sound even though I have everything connected and I see the soundbar moving but I can't hear it

Please check the VU meters on the Stereo Output device. If they're not moving, something is either muted or disconnected on the way to it. If they move, the problem is outside the AT Studio, and you should check your audio settings, audio interface and monitors.

this is a softwear not phisical set ups... having to connect everything as if i have to plug it in is a waste of not only my time, but everyone elses... this idea was good...but not being able to enjoy making music on a computer, having to figure out if everything is connected and if your doing it right, is a full waste of time... especially when you have everything ready, as in a physical guitar, piano and lyrics, but this softwear cant do even as little as recording, which is what its supposed to do..... take it down or fix this.... it should be simple and its not... guess thats what i get for wanting a free thing...

How would you enjoy routing flexibility if there was nothing to connect? Audiotool is hardly the only DAW with skeuomorphic design. Good luck using Reason or VCV. Also, there's the auto-connect feature that does it for you.

I honestly can't agree with ya ivy. That really is the fun. You slowly get better and better and you figure it out. You also can't request for a whole website to be taken down because you don't like skeuomorphic design on a daw.

the sound comes out weird and disoriented when i play it

2022-03-26 07:50 · 2022-03-26

is there any way to fix this?

it means the sound is clipping the output (in simple terms, its earrape). turn down the volume level.

2022-03-27 02:39 · 2022-03-27

yes

2022-04-06 01:24 · 2022-04-06

What is XD?

Connect its output to a mixer input connected to the Master Output device. If your Audiotrack device has a yellow lightning bolt icon underneath, it's not connected to the output.

I uploaded my voice as A sample, When I put the sample in, my voice is way deeper
