Issues That Occurs When Converting A "Song" To A Sequence

Hey guys,

I've been working on a beat for awhile, and have finished it up. I've been using the "song" mode to string together individual sequences. When I play the beat from "Song" mode, everything sounds as it should. However, when I convert the song into a sequence so I can record it, the first bass drum sample for every individual sequence is being played back in a much lower pitch/sounds quite deep and odd. I cannot figure this out for the life of me, as the rest of the time that sample will come up in the sequence, it sounds normal, it's just the first time for each individual sequence (sorry if that is confusing, I hope you guys can understand me). ANY idea as to what is causing this/what I can do to fix it?

so I've done a lot of sleuthing and messing around with things to pinpoint what exactly is happening and I have figured out what's going on, I just don't know why or how to fix it. When I'm converting the song from a "song" to a sequence, the first bass drum sample of each individual sequence is bleeding into the succeeding sequence (so the beginning of the bass drum sample from seq 1 is being re-played ontop of the beginning of the bass drum sample on seq 2). I'm not sure why this is occurring or what I should try to fix it, any suggestions? Thanks for the help lampdog!

EDIT - it also doesn't do this for all of the 13 sequences that make up my "song." Only certain ones, but its the same sequences each time I convert it. So strange :/

I ended up finding a work-around and set the two drum samples to be on the same mute group, and that solved things and made the sequences sound as they should. Still not sure what was causing it in the first place?

Maybe go into step edit and see what the events are doing at the points where you have the issues.

Until you figure it out, you can track out your beat direct from song mode.

it is something wiht your mute groups, if they are bleeding like that, the next one isnt cutting off the previous, this could happen if say, your problem tracks arent all on the same track for each sequence. ie your bass could be on track 1 for a sequence, and track 2 for another sequence, and when you sring these togheter, you r mute groups wont recognize each other because they are on different tracks for each sequence. (im pretty sure it does this anyway, i havnet run into this problem for awhile.

another easy fix is, find the exact note that your are having trouble with, and int he program, make a sample thats in the same mute group as the rest of the sounds, but with this pad, make it silent. ie dont assign anything to it, but put it in the same mute group. now on your track where it soudns funny, a tth every start of the track, put the "silent pad" on there.
this makes it so it cuts off the sound that bled through from your previous sequence. if you are over lapping the sounds and have another one playing at the same time, try to take just the problem sounds, and put them on a whole new track, so this wont affect whats playin on your main track.

another thing to check is if your sample are in mono, (this is for a different problem though, but is kinda relevant) for example, if you have a 4 bar sample, but your sequences is set to loop at 2 bars, when it loops back around, instead of cutting off at the 2 bars where your loop is, you hear it bleed over. this is probably because your sample is set to poly instead of mono.

hope that helps.
