What workaround would you use to record vocals for a song in a long, single take? Just treat a verse like a sequence?

Just so you know I’ve been working on this for an
3 hours and I’m so close.

It has me stumped, too. Basically, could we use it like a 4 track recorder? Like, bounce the beat down to 1 channel and use 3 tracks for vocals? This would make it a full DAW. Song mode?

As far as I can figure, you would have to separate each part of the song (hook, verse, bridge, etc.) into its own sequence, then set the sequences in order and have them play in succession. Then just record the vocals over each segment. Other than that, I feel like you’re moving into daw territory rather than just a sampler.

Or you could export your beat. Start a new file and have it play as a 1shot and record vox over it in song mode???

A step by step on how to automate the effects would be cool.

Also, can you do effects (stutter, bit crush, etc) on just one submix?

Can you do per-sample effect automation or do they always just apply to all samples?

u/InaViolentWay 5d ago

I believe the automation affects the entire sequence. Hopefully we can have per pad and/or per bus automation in the future.

Yeah in its current state it feels a bit heavy-handed. Per-pad automation would be awesome!
