software for a specific purpose?

[John Jacobson]

Hello,

I know this can be done through various software, but I'm not sure which. I
have Melodyne Studio and a few others, so maybe what I'm looking for can be
done. I want to I guess take the arrangement from one song and apply it to
another. I'm not sure if this is coming across, so I'll give an example.
Say I have a flute sounded five times at roughly the same pitch for each
sound. On another track, I basically have a horn that is constant for the
same duration as the five flute sounds. I want to match the flute to the
horn, in other words make the horn sound five times like the flute. Without
recording it this way, is there software I can use to match the horn's notes
to the flute's?

Thanks,
JJ

You can accomplish this by using a gate that has an external key input. The
dynamics processing included with most DAW programs (Cubase, Sonar,
ProTools, maybe even cheapware like Reaper or Audacity) offers this
sort of tool. You can set up a gate on the horn track and key it with
the flute
track. With the proper settings, you can get it to let the horn sound
through
when the flute is playing and shut it off when the flute is not playing.

It's not going to sound perfectly natural (though the gate usually
provides some
controls for how fast it opens and closes), but if you wanted natural, you'd
just tell the horn player to play together with the flute player.

Conductor Pro allows you to replace the conductor if you don't like the
playing style, great if you like Furtw�ngler but doesn't like scratched
reocrds, just choose a suitable conductor in the drop down menu
\files\edit\choices\styles\conductor. My understanding is that this is the
closest you get to what you want with currently available commercial
software but there may be things out there that I am not completely familiar
with.

I don't know. You have Samplitude 7 (I guess). Go read the manual.
