Hey guys, still trying to make that one cover from my previous thread here.
So unfortunately i lost my copy of Mixcraft 8 when my HDD got wiped last week, which means ive been using LMMS to edit MIDIs for this week. (and luckily, i managed to recover my Vocaloids) And considering i managed to find a MIDI of the song i want, things have been going great. That is, until I wanted to make sure the vocal MIDI notes synced up with the backing track. I loaded the off-vocal track into the sample track, but i just could not get it to sync up. The editor kept snapping the track out-of-time of the MIDI. I looked all over the settings and right-clicked near almost everything, but it just would not co-operate.
So then i tried loading the MIDI and the backing track into Audacity to sync them up, but it kept crashing whenever i touched the MIDI track.
Then i tried a whole bunch of free DAWs to see if SOMETHING would let me sync the two up, but i just could not get anything decent. I tried Cakewalk, but its a browser-only application and it said it would only work with either Chrome or Edge, despite me having it already loaded in Edge. I also tried Podium Free, but whenever i loaded the WAV into the project, it was severely pitched down for some reason and i could not correct it, despite me trying to correct it by editing the tempo and time measurements, as well as using the programs repitcher.
I'm a little frustrated. It shouldn't be this hard to sync two things together like this, especially when i made sure the MIDI was exported in the official BPM for the song. If anyone knows a good decent program to mix tracks in, or how to get LMMS to work better with this, i would be indebted to you so much. Thanks for reading my post.
