Recording Options - Start Recording
Input Vs On Input Options

A
  • On input - Recording begins when an audio signal is received.
  • -To set the trigger level, Left-click on the Peak Meter and move the mouse up/down.
  • –NOTE: Edison uses a pre-record buffer so that transients will not be lost when a signal is received. In other words, you do not need to make a ‘triggering’ sound to guarantee early transients that may be below the trigger threshold.
  • Input - Recording automatically pauses during silence and resumes on audio input.
  • -To set the trigger level, Left-click on the Peak Meter and move the mouse up/down.

How to ensure a piece of recorded audio will stretch properly if project tempo is changed?

A
  • Edit properties
  • -Tempo sync - To set the Audio Clip so that it will be automatically stretched if the project tempo is changed (useful to keep rhythmic samples in time), click the ‘default’ button in the tempo settings panel. If the file is not set as ‘tempo-sync’ or has no tempo (0), it will not be stretched.

Loop Recording with Edison Steps

A
  • Load Edison in a Mixer track that will receive the audio - Select a Mixer track and press (Shift+E). This loads Edison in the first empty FX slot ready to record with ‘Slave playback to host’ and Record ‘On play’ enabled.
  • -Select your input - Select your live audio input from the Mixer INPUT menu.
  • –Make a Playlist selection - If you only want to record a section of the song, highlight the section of time in the Playlist, hold (Ctrl) and then click and drag along the bar-count at the top of the Playlist. If you don’t make a selection then the whole song will loop-record.
  • —Start recording - Press Play in FL Studio and record as many takes as you need into Edison. Each time Edison loops section Markers (‘Song jump’) will be placed in the recording (these are useful for later).
  • —-Stop recording - Press stop on the main FL Studio transport panel and click on the record button in Edison to disable it.
  • —–Start playback - Press Play in FL Studio and the first take in Edison will play in sync with the Playlist (slave mode is on), looping when the Playlist does.
  • ——To Select a sample region (Ctrl + Left-click) on the region start-marker, as shown above.
  • ——-Audition takes - With Edison focused use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to select a different takes in Edison. Each left/Right-click will jump to the next/previous section.
  • ——–Send the perfect take to the Playlist - Press (Shift+C) to send the current selection in Edison to Playlist. You can also use Drag/drop to the Playlist using the drag-sample button. NOTE: Edison will automatically set the sample properties to the current project tempo so that the recording will stretch as the project tempo is changed

Save sample as
MPEG 3 audio file (*.mp3)

A
  • Mp3 is a Lossy compression format.
  • -It has gained world-wide popularity because it was one of the first on the market that provided good quality lossy compression.
  • –After initiating a save a second dialog opens to select the quality (bit-rate), this controls the tradeoff between audio quality and file size.
  • —Good listening quality on portable devices starts at about 160 kbps, use 224 kbps or 320 (max) if you want something probably indistinguishable from CD quality.

Save sample as
FLAC audio file (*.flac)

A
  • FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is similar to WAV format in retaining all audio information in the encoded waveform. However, FLAC is useful as it also compresses (reduces) the file size significantly.
  • -Usually between 10 and 20% the size of the equivalent WAV file. This is not audio-level compression, it’s file-size compression, similar to .zip etc.

Normalize

A
  • (Ctrl+N)

Lossy normalize

A
  • Similar to the standard Normalize, the amplitude of the waveform is increased so that the loudest sample is at 100% maximum possible level.
  • -There is an additional manipulation of the waveform phase that can sometimes tease out a few more dB gain.
  • –The process is considered ‘lossy’ as it changes the waveform phase, although it should sound identical to the standard Normalization.

Spectrum precision

A
  • 32, to 8192 bands.

  • –Resize Edison to obtain an overall larger view.
130
Q

FL STUDIO - Edison
Menu Buttons - View - Audio
Natural scale

A
  • Sets the vertical scale to reflect the musical ‘octave’ relationship of frequencies (a logarithmic scale).
  • -This will stretch the lower frequencies to occupy a greater area and so is particularly useful when working with frequencies below 500 Hz.
131
Q

FL STUDIO - Edison
Menu Buttons - View - Audio
Natural weighting

A
  • Sets the color intensity gradient to better represent the way we hear frequencies.
  • -Specifically, it changes the brightness weighting from white noise, a linear relationship between frequency and display brightness to pink noise.
  • –Pink noise decreases the intensity by 3dB/Octave, making it more suitable for musical uses as the higher frequencies no longer dominate the spectral display brightness, which is closer to how we hear those same frequencies.
132
Q

FL STUDIO - Edison
Menu Buttons - View - Audio
Enhanced Frequency/Time

A
  • These options improve the visibility of details, particularly at lower frequencies.
  • -These options work well with a spectrum precision of 1024.
