Ik zoek een aantal tutorials voor cool edit pro.
Ik heb al op google gezocht maar daar word ik niet echt veel wijzer van.
Wat ik eigenlijk wil weten is:
Hoe kan ik een sample zijn bpm veranderen in het door mij gewenste.
Aangezien hij dit niet automatisch doet.
Verder als er tutorials zijn wil ik die graag hebben. Het is handig maar ook t*ring lastig programma!

ten eerste zou je kunnen zoeken op adobe audition, omdat cool edit is overgenomen door adobe ;-) maar hier een paar (engels talige) tutorials van mn site:

Beat Matching:

This is something I'm pretty familiar with. I work in a major market and have all the tools you could ever want (including ProTools) and yet, when it comes to beat mixing, I will only use CEP. Here is the most accurate way I have found to do this. It seems long and complicated, but if you follow the instructions, after you do this once, it's easy.

1. Get a beat bed from your imaging CD and a file you want to match to it. Have them both loaded and open, for easy access.
2. Make sure they are compatable time signatures. Obviously, it would be very hard to match 3/4 time with 4/4 time. I like to do everything in 4's. Keeps it easy. So, for the sake of this post, let's assume your beat bed is in 4/4 and so is the song you're matching to the bed.
3. Start with your beat bed active in the edit view, not the multi-track. Find the beginning of a musical phrase. Make sure you start with beat 1 and not a pickup note.
4. Begin highlighting a 32 beat phrase. (You can also use 16, but 32 will give you a more accurate match). You will have to count beats in your head and use your ears. This gets easier the more you do it. You know you've got it just right when you loop the section and it's seamless.
5. Once you have found the 32 beat phrase, look at your selection time. Write it down. Let's say it's 15.382 seconds.
6. Switch to the view of the song you want to match. For instance, we'll say Britney spears is what you want to match. In the Britney file, repeat step 4. Find 32 beats and you'll know it's right when you have a seamless loop. You'll want to use songs with similar beats...at least a little close, so that you're not severely changing the speed. Let's assume that Britney's 32 beats are 17.885 seconds. You will need to condense that time to 15.382, to get a perfect beat match to your beat bed.
7. Go into effects/time-pitch/stretch. Make sure you have it set to do a tempo change and preserve the original pitch. There is a textbox where you can type the desired length. With the Britney file open, and the 32 beats highlighted, type the desired length as 15.382. DO NOT PROCESS THIS YET!
8. The window should display a ratio. Write it down.
9. Close the window and highlight the entire Britney file.
10. Re-open the stretch function window.
11. Type in the ratio that you have written down.
12. Process the cut.
13. Voila`! Matched beats!

Removing Vocals:

Is it possible to remove vocals from an existing track?

Well, the short answer is...Yes...and No. The simple reason for these opposite responses is that the process of 'vocal cutting' or 'vocal zapping' (as some say in radio) is a process that's been around for ages, known in many record engineering circles as "A minus B listening". What is that? Well, I've compiled some of our best reponses below to showcase what that is and how it's done.

The tip: If you're using a track from the 60s, 70s or even early 80s, you've probably got a decent shot of removing vocals. Paul McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed" (1970), Astrud Gilberto's "Light My Fire" (1969), even Donald F.a.gen's "I.G.Y". and "Walk Between Raindrops" (1982) are four good examples to try out. But it's all to do with structure....

To do this in Audition simply highlight your file and go to Effect>Amplitude>Channel Mixer and select the VOCAL CUT preset. You can preview and toggle between NO MIXING and VOCAL CUT to hear what's happening. You can also alter the phase relationship between the L&R channels by dragging the sliders.

Now, because your resultant wave can sometimes suffer from center-channel dropouts of things like bass guitar and bass drum, here's something else that you can do 'after' you've run the vocal cut (ala, center-channel cut) preset on a file...

(this tip is easiest to achieve in multitrack, but could also be done with Mix Paste)

After using the Vocal Cut preset on your file, save it (with a new name) and hit Ctrl-M to insert the file into Multitrack.

Open the original file (pre-vocal cut) and run a low-pass filter on it so that ONLY frequencies below 200Hz pass thru (effectively cutting everything above 200Hz). This will leave you with a stereo waveform that has possibly 'some' vocal element, but will primarily carry the bass and bass frequencies.

Now, insert the 'low-pass' file into MT, aligning it with the vocal-cut version. Play with the volumes to achieve a proper balance. This will allow you to restore a bit of the stereo image (if needed) as well as improve some of the low-end response (if it suffered to begin with)...

Food for thought.

when we put this together you get this plan:

All these 'vocal cut applications work the same way. You can do it manually, using a wave editor such as Cool Edit or Audition, or you can rely on some other bit of kit which does all the steps automatically - but the end result is the same.

1 - Take a stereo file

2 - Invert the phase of one channel

3 - Add the two channels together

That's it - that's all you do. Now for what happens.

1 - Anything that was centre stage (hopefully, in this case, the vocal) will be cancelled out.

2 - This includes the bass, kick drum and anything else that was also centre stage.

3 - Material which is close, but not, centre stage will also reduce in level.

4 - The end file will be mono.

4 - On most modern recordings, FX returns are stereo or pseudo-stereo. Thus all the FX returns on the vocal will still be heard.

The truth of the matter is that you can, perhaps, on some recordings, reduce the vocal level. Whether or not you can reduce it enough is only discovered by trying it out. You will still have to contend with the problems of other instruments which also vanish, the generally reduced bass level and the FX returns.

However, the general answer is you will not be able to do this to any effective degree unless you are extremely lucky in your choice of original recording.
