Can a staccato effect be applied to a regular audio track and can sustain like the piano pedal effect also be similarly added?
Can a staccato effect be applied to a regular audio track and can sustain like the piano pedal effect also be similarly added?
I'm wondering if the attack of sounds can be generally modulated after the fact to an arbitrary audio file and similarly for a piano-pedal sustain type effect.
Can they be gradually and arbitrarily modulated?
You're viewing a single thread.
If I understand the question rightly, the only way I know how to effect audio (as opposed to MIDI) in such a way is to use a dynamics processor of some sort. I'd first reach for a transient shaper, which listens to the volume envelope of an audio signal, and these typically have a knob for attack and sustain. For a more staccato sound, I'd lower the sustain, and vice-versa. Alternatively or in addition to the former processor, I might use a gate if I wanted more silence between notes, and I might use its opposite, a compressor, to bring up lower-level sustain. None of these processes will to change a performance, however.
