Having difficulty with the Rytm MKII that I just purchased.
Created one shot samples in Pro Tools (beats and notes)
They were left justified in the Pro Tools Window with a bit of lead in and they pay perfectly as wave files
I import using transfer. When I load them up in a Kit the SAMPLES are TINY on the left side of the sample window. They are not the ONE SHOT WAVEFORM SIZES that come for loaded on the Rytm.
Some of the samples are fully audible, but many are cut off at the beginning.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong. To my knowledge there is no way to zoom in on the waveform file.
It sounds like the samples have been exported from Pro Tools with “dead air” after the sample content. Have you checked the files in an editor other than PT?
If you’re importing into Rytm, I would cut the lead in down to nothing, so the file begins as close to the start of the sound as you can make it. The Rytm’s start point settings are not very fine grained: you’re limited to 120 start points across the length of the sample. For one-shots, you’re best of trimming to just the audio content.
This reinforces my intuition that the samples have a load of dead air at the end. Make sure they’re cropped to just the length of the audio. I’m still convinced the Transfer + Rytm end of this problem is not the problem.
Thank you a great deal. There was extended air. I thought I could have flexibility at least on the tail. I was wrong. Funny how they don’t mention any of this stuff. Manual is useless.
you can set the start and end points of a sample in the Rytm, so you can use them as they are, but as @Octagonist said the resolution for doing so isnt very precise so results may vary. Plus all that dead air is taking up space
