Having sliced the loop in the Sample editor, opening the resulting audio part allows us to select all the slices and then drag and drop them into Groove Agent One. Once the hitpoints are sorted, pressing the Slice & Close button exits the Sample editor and creates an audio part (in the Project window) containing the sliced loop. Hitpoint positioning can also be adjusted, and holding the mouse button down over an individual slice auditions it, making it easy to hear where edits might be required. Once you have this about right, click the Edit Hitpoints button to manually add (by holding the Alt or Option key and clicking on the waveform display as I've done in the screenshot above) or delete hitpoints as required. Increasing the Sensitivity setting adds hitpoints: the aim is to get aВ hitpoint at each transient created by an individual drum hit. The first step is to slice the two loops into their individual beats, using the Hitpoint tool in the Sample editor.

The red highlights around the Group 1 and 2 buttons show that pads within those groups are in use, while the green highlight indicates that we are viewing the pads in group two.ДЄudio can be dragged and dropped into Groove Agent One in several ways, which are described in the PlugвЂ‘in Reference PDF manual, but when working with loops rather than single hits, some preparatory work is required in the Sample and Audio Part editors.

Here, the 'performance' loop has been mapped across almost all the pads in the first two groups.

Initially, all Groove Agent One's 128 pads are empty but dragging and dropping sliced loops onto aВ pad automatically maps the slices across a series of pads.

I'll work through this example using two loops: aВ fourвЂ‘bar 'performance' loop and aВ two-bar 'sounds' loop, both of which you can download from the SOS web site ( /sos/dec09/articles/cubasetechmedia.htm). Having discovered suitable sounds in aВ second loop, your task is to keep the groove and timing of the first, but to replace some of the actual sounds with hits from the second.

The first contains the performance that's required, and to which performances by other musicians have been overdubbed, but the specific drum sounds feel aВ little tame and need beefing up. Let's consider aВ simple, yet common scenario involving two drum loops. In SOS May 2007, Matt Houghton discussed drum-replacement tools for Cubase, but if you only have aВ few drum loops in which you want to replace some sounds, the Groove Agent One drum machine offers an alternative approach. In last month's workshop, IВ used VariAudio to obtain MIDI notes from audio parts, but this approach won't work for drum replacement. In slicing the 'performance' loop in the Sample editor, IВ used aВ relatively high sensitivity setting, but still needed to add aВ couple of extra hitpoints (the darker blue lines) manually.
