![]() ![]() Grab every region (when making the base pattern you then duplicate to create the pattern in the picture below) and make sure it’s on the beat. Warning: Make sure that you place every drum hit perfectly on a beat. Then, just select them all, press duplicate and move the duplicated regions in place. ARDOUR AUDIO FULLFor the pattern in the picture below, you can simply first make a full bar (hint: in the picture below, there’s 4 bars as indicated by the thicker white lines) consisting of 4 kick regions and 2 snares. Then mark the regions and press “D” (for duplicate) and place the new region appropriately on the canvas. To quickly build a pattern, resize the regions so they cover a whole bar, like in the picture below. This is easily done by dragging the bottom left or right corners of the region. If the regions of the kick and snare aren’t in the proper size to create the pattern (and they won’t be, as I made them, muahahaahaha!), you’ll have to resize them appropriately. Change that to Beats, to snap to full beats, and your life will be easier. This means that the grid now snaps to 1/8th notes. You’ll notice in the picture above it’s set to Beats/8 (next to the Grid-option). Now, lets just make a simple, classic electronic drum pattern spanning over 4 bars, with the kick on every beat, and the snare on every other beat.įirst off, when working like this, I always set the grid to “Beats”. Import the files, and add them as new tracks. The import dialogue is available through Session -> Import. You can import the soundfiles of the kick and snare to Ardour directly, and it’ll automatically create two new tracks for you for the sounds. Next up, we’ll add our kick and snare, and set up a simple electronic beat. Grid, Snap to Beats, and Edit Point Mouse all set up. If you want to set up Ardour like me, follow the picture below, and make sure you’ve got Ardour set to Grid. This snaps everything you move to the grid (which is based on the tempo of your song), effectively putting whatever you move in sync to the tempo. ARDOUR AUDIO FREEAs always, you’re free to set up Ardour like you want, but I find it’s a great help to make sure Ardour is set to Grid-mode. Next up, we’ll need our basic components. Set the tempo by right-clicking the red tempo indicator and selecting edit. You can leave the tempo at whatever you feel is nice, it doesn’t matter. Just because I prefer a little bit higher tempo in electronic music, I’ll start off by setting the tempo to 130 bpm. So, lets roll! You can use whatever session you already have, or just set up a new one. Lets go! Setting up the needed tracks and channels You can get that from the Disthro-project, or preferably the KXStudio-repos (which are awesome, kudos to falkTX). As for materials to sidechain using the kick, and for the sake of demonstration, I will use TAL NoiseMaker LV2. ![]() If not, you can find it here.Īlso, you will need something to sidechain, and a basic kick drum to sidechain to. ARDOUR AUDIO INSTALLIf you have the KXStudio repos, it’s available in the package swh-lv2 ( sudo apt-get install swh-lv2). You will need a plugin called SC3 that will do the actual sidechaining. However, this should work with most prior versions of Ardour too. The version of Ardour used in this tutorial is Ardour3.2. ARDOUR AUDIO HOW TOIf you’re a bit more used to Ardour and just want to know how to do the actual sidechaining, click here to skip the rather irrelevant parts below about creating the material for sidechaining. My aim is to provide a guide that anyone with a little prior experience can follow, but at the same time cater to more advanced users that just don’t know sidechaining yet. If you’re familiar with Ardour, you’re likely to want to skim the article, as it contains a lot of basic stuff. I will try and go as basic as I can without being annoying. This tutorial assumes that you have a little knowledge of Ardour and music production in general, but not much. Very simple, but very powerful, especially in modern electronic music. So, the goal of this article is to do a simple sidechain of a synth to a kickdrum, making the synth duck in rhythm with the kickdrum. In this article, I will focus on the “pumpz plx”, but the way we’ll set up sidechaining here will enable you to achieve most of the common sidechaining effects, like ducking background music to speech and whatnot. Sidechaining itself though has a pretty wide range of uses outside of just “moar pumpz plx”. Sidechaining has many different names (ducking is an additional one), but when I speak of sidechaining, I refer to what’s popularly known as “the cool effect that makes everything pump to the beat in electronic music”. Ahh, sidechaining! The effect us fans of electronic music fear our partners will discover just how much we actually like, and the effect that makes anti-modern electronic musicians shake from hatred. ![]()

![]() We can see that the number of edge crossings depends on the order of vertices and on the sides to which the edges are assigned. There is a crossing between and if and only if and are potential crossing and embedded on the same side of. In this paper, we are interested only in fixed linear embeddings of. The 2-page drawing of with fixed vertex ordering. A fixed vertex ordering of and its potential crossing can be seen in Figure 4. and are adjacent in because and are potential crossing in a 2-page drawing of. Two vertices of are adjacent if any two edges in are potential crossing.įor example, according to the given fixed vertex ordering of (see Figure 3), is a graph of nodes. There is corresponding one-to-one and onto mapping between the set of and. We define an associated conflict graph of a graph. Next we give the definition of conflict graph of graph. Clearly, and are potential crossing if and only if or. Notice that no edge crosses itself, no adjacent edges cross each other, no two edges cross more than once, and no three edges cross in a point.įor a given 2-page drawing of with the fixed vertex ordering, a pair of edges and are potential crossing if and cross each other when routed on the same side of. Each edge fully contained one of the two half-planes (pages) as a semicircle and never cross. The 2-page drawing of can be represented by drawing the vertices of on a straight horizontal line according a fixed vertex ordering. Cube graph with fixed vertex ordering for. Notice that our method is independent on vertex ordering therefore, for a fixed, we can apply the method times so as to obtain the 2-page linear crossing number. Figures 1 and 2 present the ordering of and which we consider throughout this paper. The two vertices between the first and the second are adjacent if and only if the sum of the labeled is. Given a fixed ordering on, the vertices of the first are labeled and the vertices of the second are labeled. Since is defined recursively as, for, where is a simple graph with 2 vertices together with a single edge incident to both vertices, has 2 copies of with edges connecting between them. Throughout this paper, we consider the ordering of hypercube graph. In this paper, we discuss a method to obtain an approximation for fixed linear crossing number for hypercube graph. constructed a new drawing of in the plane which led to the conjectured number of crossings To the best of our knowledge, the fixed linear crossing number for has not been established. In 1993, a lower bound of was proved by Sýkora and Vrt’o : Then, in 1973, Erdös and Guy conjectured equality in ( 1). It was declared by Eggleton and Guy that the crossing numbers of the hypercube (non-2-page) for was Eggleton and Guy showed that but is unknown for. The one-dimension cube is simply where is a complete graph with vertices. The - cube or - dimensional hypercube is recursively defined in terms of the Cartesian products. In 1973, Erdös and Guy wrote, “Almost all questions that one can ask about crossing numbers remain unsolved.” In fact, Garey and Johnson prove that computing the crossing number is NP-complete.Ī 2-page drawing of is a representation of on the plane such that its vertices are placed on a straight horizontal line according to fixed vertex ordering and its edges are drawn as a semicircle above or below but never cross. ![]() It is known that the exact crossing numbers of any graphs are very difficult to compute. The crossing number of graph, denoted, is the minimum number of pairwise intersections of edge crossing on the plane drawing of graph. Let be a simple connected graph with a vertex-set and an edge-set. The numerical results confirm the effectiveness of the approximation. An example of a case where is hypercube is explicitly shown to obtain an upper bound. We consider a semidefinite relaxation of the MAXCUT problem. We formulate the original problem into the MAXCUT problem. Then, instead of minimizing the crossing number of, we show that it is equivalent to maximize the weight of a cut of. In this paper we describe a method of finding the bound of 2-page fixed linear crossing number of. The crossing number of graph is the minimum number of edges crossing in any drawing of in a plane. ![]() |
