Quite a bit to parse here, so let’s start with making the wav and the accent beat.
- Edit the wav so that the sound start at the beginning of the wav file. You want this:
not this:
-
Make sure the wav is in the correct format for the BB, 16 bit, 44.1 khz. The wav should be stripped of meta data that makes the BB ignore the file. I recommend using NCH Switch. Just save from your wav file to the correct bit depth wav file in NCH Switch. I.e., even if it is already 16 bit, 44.1 khz, just save it to NCH Switch’s 16 bit 44.1 khz.
-
As you found out, longer wav files cannot be used as accent hits. There is a limit to file size, but I do not know what it is. Perhaps @support can pipe in.
Next, your outro bit would need to be done using the principles outlined in my Backing Tracks tutorial.
You will first need to make sure that the wav file can fit in the drumkit. How large is the kit you are using? Get its file size from your browser. How large is the wav file after doing the conversion with NCH Switch? The total of these 2 must not exceed 100mb.
Next you would add the outro to an open location in the drumkit. Where my tutorial uses “midi 36”, you are going to ignore that, and use an open location. From, there the process would follow the backing track principles. Your outro midi file will be one long note that matches the length of the wav file. That one note midi file will be placed as the outro section of the song.
Also, you’ll be adding to an existing drumkit rather than making a new one. You may wish to make a copy of the kit first, and give it a new name as described in the tutorial.
