A new approach...

[wilko]

I am part of a music duo and there was a cover song that we really wanted to do. But it was complicated.... a lead guitar comes in first, then the acoustics guitars join in after several bars. We decided not to use the drum machine as the timing got horrendous. The trouble was laying the guitar tracks down..... without the drums (or click track) I just couldn't get things in time. But I had a brainwave. I cut the song by the original artist to disk and then used Nero to convert the song to a 16bit 22KHz mono .WAV file. I then used WAV manager to import that to the MR-8 as a mono track. I laid the guitars and bass around this track and (backed them up first) and then mixed them down. I could now lay the lead guitar down in time with the original track. I then deleted the original track and now the song is ready for the singer (and it is all in time!).

I was pretty chuffed with this and this is an efficient way of getting stuff down and in time.
