DAW Plugin to help with audio recorded without a metronome! - Part 2


Got some the audio-plugin behaving nicely! It's still looks pretty horrendous, but it's logic is functioning properly, efficiently and reliably. Pretty important facets! I'm finding it fun to use too. :)

The workflow is:
  1. Record your audio directly into the plugin
  2. Set your loop start and end points, fine tuning if necessary
  3. Set your number of bars (if the estimate isn't what you want), and set your time signature (if it's not the default 4/4)
  4. Click the bpm to copy, and in Reaper you can Ctrl/Cmd V to paste it.
  5. Set the DAW Time signature to match also
  6. Drag the audio clip to your main daw timeline.

Times fly

Today is all about time.

I have no shortage of things going on. In fact I had to get a bit ruthless to make progress. Multiple timers set with specific amounts of time allowed for me to get the assorted items on my list done.

Honestly it did help, but it felt aggressively regimented. Like being in the army or something! Also no guitar, drums, cello. So pretty much a "fun-fast". My first day of my fun diet lol. Oh well, needs must when there's stuff to get done.

Also, for the time spent on my DAW plugin project, my task today was a time signature controller. I completed it with just enough time to commit the code! Simple things, I wanted to show the time signature as a traditional fraction where you can drag left-right on the top or bottom to modify the numerator (number of beats), or denominator (value of each beat). It works and updates other parts of the UI properly! I am pleased :)

DAW Plugin to help with audio recorded without a metronome!

Well this is happening then! I'm somewhat feature complete on a plugin that allows you record audio and curate it to make a timed loop that you can then use to build up your DAW session.

Does that make sense? No, right? It's ok I'll try and release a video soon :)
