Calculating GAP value

Ryu_Hirakashi · Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2003 6:10 pm Post subject: Calculating GAP value

Could someone show me how to calculate the gap value for a song. I would appreciate it. Also, is getting a sound editor really necessary?? Thanks!!!

I do it by trial and error, putting in a different value and checking it each time. The more perfect it feels, the better the gap.

that can work.....

on songs with very small gaps.

Its easiest to get like....audacity, which is a really small program. You can get the gap extremely fast.

Load the song, zoom in untill you can see the gap between 0 time and the first wave of sound.

Click like right where the sound starts, or on the first beat of the music, and the gap will show in seconds on the bottom.

gap goes my milliseconds so if you get like

Ex. 1.456883 seconds, your gap is 1456

Okay, no, reach.

Sometimes that doesn't work.

Here's how to get a foolproof gap value.

First, set your song to the standard 0 gap. Now, place the first arrow just where you want the gap to start, or the arrows to start. Look at current second, you will get the first 3 digits of the gap. Now, go into cool edit, and go to that gap, and find the last digit. Voila.

I just found out about this technique a few months ago, versus manually searching for a gap in cool edit. It rocks.

As for BPM, there is a cool edit plugin you can download. It's accuracy is shocking, seriously. It got payon right, it got FOTBB right, it gets every song I put in it right.
