Can you import to a songlayer?

[scott]

Having used the software for five years and beta tested every damn version going, you'd think I might have a clue here but ...

I have a vocal track for a whole song which I got sent to me as a .wav file. I used IntelliRiffer to convert it to a .rwr file and imported it RWStd.
Problem is that I need the vocal track to be a layer in the Songlayer, so it goes across the whole song - not just one riff.
As it is, because it's a single riff the only way to add to it is to add individual layers within that one riff. I don't want my song to be made up of one 96 bar riff with 24 layers cos' you can't do much to change IDs etc. as the song goes on.

Help me out people!! Advice gratefully sought.

Doesn't IntelliRiffer have a songlayer option for export? From there you might try starting a new song, importing the songlayer from intelliriffer and export/import you original riffs from the original song into the new song. How, you'll have to rebuild the song timeline with your imported riffs but you'll have your songlayer there at least.

I hope that made at least some kinda sense?

scott,
you can save as a song and it will save as a songlayer but it has limitations i.e single layer and the new auto trimming and other features of intelliriffer might not work.


The other way is to split your riff in intelliriffer.

The intelliriffer riff splitter can split a multilayer riff too.

You can break your single 96 bar riff into smaller chunks and can change id's etc.

usually i would load the long riff in rw. apply all the rw effects i want in rw. then export the riff. load into intelliriffer, split it into the way i want it, verse chorus etc and intelliriffer will generate smaller riffs that you can import back in with same fx applied etc.

the split riff feature is under tools menu i think.

its similar to wavechunker but it works on riffs directly and not an individual wave file.

I saved the vocal track out as a songlayer from IntelliRiffer. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The only problem is that the .rws file won't hang on to the new songlayer after saving. It looks like I have to import it everytime.
