If you select multiple clips in a track, you’ll get the Batch Fades dialog. If there is adjoining audio, you’ll get the crossfade dialog. If you select the end of such a clip, you’ll get the Fade Out dialog. If you’re adding a fade to the beginning of a clip with no audio adjacent to it, you’ll get the Fade In dialog. You can access them with the shortcut Command + F (Control + F on PC).

Pro Tools has several different fade dialogs, depending on the context. Without them, it’s possible that you’ll hear a click at the edit points. It’s good practice to add fades when you create a new audio clip. After he makes that cut, he adds short fades to the front and back of the new clip. Otherwise, it could sound slightly flammed.Īfter cutting the front of the sample, Danny expands the waveform height temporarily so that he can clearly see where it ends and avoid cutting any of it off. It will more closely lock in with the corresponding sound on the original track. That way, there won’t be any delay between when the sample is triggered and when you hear it. The waveform is initially out of polarity.ĭanny then zooms way in so that he can make the edit right where the sound starts. Danny selects the sample and opens the Audiosuite plug-in, Invert, and flips its polarity. They notice that the beginning of the waveform is pointing down, not up, indicating that it’s out of polarity. Jacquire isolates a particular hit he wants to use for the sample, and then Danny zooms in on it. For the sampled sound, Jacquire uses a single hit from a kick drum track that he previously imported into the session along with some other supplemental background tracks (read more about that in the article and excerpt from Episode 6 of this series). Jacquire and Danny are using Steven Slate Trigger 2, which, like other drum-replacement plug-ins, allows you to layer samples onto individual tracks in a multitrack drum recording, particularly kick and snare.

In this excerpt from Start to Finish: Jacquire King - Episode 16 - Adding Samples, Jacquire and engineer Danny Pellegrini show how they fatten a kick drum with a sample during the mix of the Oak and Ash song “Keep The Light On.” Spot On Layering samples on top of a live-recorded kick or snare drum track is a pretty common technique.
