I'm working on a piece that I want to apply Snipper FX to two hard panned tracks.

The style is swing 16, tempo 90. Both tracks are playing even 8th notes. I want to snip out every other 32nd beat for the length of each measure. I'll play with the frequency range I want to snip, but I don't know how to figure the length of each event.

Is there a formula for such things?

Tangmo,

In what program are you doing your editing? How the length of a 32nd note is interpreted will depend on the display settings in place.

One thing to watch out for is that you mention that the style you are using is a swing 16 style. This means that each 1/8th note will be subdivided into a triplet of 1/16th notes rather than the usual two 1/16th notes. It is this triplet that produces the swing 16 feel.

This means that each 1/8th note will contain two triplets of 1/32nd notes.

In BIAB, a quarter note contains 120 ticks. This means that an 1/8th note consists of 60 ticks, that a 1/16th note consists of 30 ticks and that a 1/32nd notes consists of 15 ticks.

In a swing 16 style, the 1/8th note will still consist of 60 ticks but because of the triplet of 1/16th notes for each 1/8th note, this means that each note in the 1/16th triplet will contain 20 ticks (i.e. 1/3 x 60 = 20).

I'm not sure if these numbers will help you but they might offer some insight.

Regards,
Noel

The FX is just referenced, so I don't think the DAW has much to do with it. Those numbers are indeed helpful. I'll just have to compute "ticks per second" at this tempo to make it work, I think.

Thanks!

If it helps, here's my reasoning to find out the time value of 1 tick.

1. A tempo of (say) 110 bpm = 110 beats per 60 seconds.

2. This means that one beat = 60/110 seconds. (i.e. 60 divided by 110)

3. Since a beat in 4/4 = one 1/4th note this means that...

120 ticks = 60/110 seconds

Thus...

4. 1 tick = (60/110) divided by 120 seconds

This time could also be converted to milliseconds by multiply by 1,000.


So the general formula for calculation purposes would be...

5. length of 1 tick = (60/song tempo) divided by (number of ticks per beat)
[units = seconds].

In doing this math, be aware that a quarter note in BIAB is 120 ticks by default BUT you can change that value. Some people make it the same as their preference in a DAW where it is usually 960 for greater resolution. We asked some years ago for BIAB to have this option and they obliged.

Is it midi or audio?

It's (they're) audio. The FX is asking for a specific amount of time down to the millisecond. I could probably render them as midi as that's what they are in BIAB.

Thanks again, Noel. I will tuck that into my folder.

Maybe this will help with the math.
I decided to create this once so I could easily find MS to Tempo stuff .. and vice/versa etc.
http://tools.masteringmatters.com/

I called it a Music Calculator.
I originally wrote this because it seemed like it would be a helpful tool for music studios/artists. Plus it saved time for me personally.

BiaB may throw some curves into the result, depending on the style, but it helps with the actual math.

Bookmarked. Thanks, Rharv. BTW, the answer is 333 per 16th.

Thanks guys,
Like I said, I made it because I got tired of redoing the math for certain situations on a regular calculator. So I thought a music studio calculator would be nice to have.
If someone else finds it handy/helpful; cool.

Heck, if you got another math issue that this calculator may help with, let me know. I get time to tinker with this app once in a while. I can add stuff if I know what would help.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
