Change how a note arrives

You finish with: An envelope that fits one phrase.

Only 15 minutes? Do steps 1 and 2, save, stop.

Step 1: Find the volume envelope

Listen for: one held note, before you change anything.

Instrument volume envelope

The detail, if you want it · Official reference · Read the volume envelope and ATT (attack).

Step 2: Compare quick and slow

Listen for: notes that disappear because their attack is longer than their length.

Step 3: Save and check

Listen for: the phrase arriving in time inside the whole piece.

Finish

The check: Does your attack fit the phrase when the whole piece plays? Then you’re done.

Next: Record a sound that suggests a place →

Or stop here. Your place is kept on this device.
