Making drum maps in Cubase SX
 

Hi, I've recorded a simple 1 bar 4/4 Wav from a CD of mine and imported it into Cubase. I already have a MIDI loop in Cubase and I want to apply the groove from the wav to this - so I make the hitpoints on the Wav, render it to a groove in the quantise menu and then apply it to the MIDI loop but when I play the MIDI loop back it sounds wrong.

Can anyone advise the best way to apply a groove from a wav loop to a MIDI loop? Does anyone know where I could be going wrong?

Cheers in advance..

dont know about cubase, so this may/may not help you out. In logic they have a function where you can save as groove template. It saves it as a midi file with the swing in it. I am pretty sure cubase has the same type of function. Just search the menus for it.

Merlot, do you know if the tempo of the audio file that you extract the groove from have to match that of the target MIDI file?

Yes it does! don't worry Merlot, the penny has finally dropped, cheers. :wink:

No worries! Glad you figured it out.
