Tempo Changes When Using A Click

[Greg_L]

Not if you map it carefully...

Maps have ruined music.....and driving!

First of all how do you know your tapping would be in time? Secondly, what does that have to do with anything? You tapped on your desk for 10 seconds? WTF does that mean? How does that equate being in time for another musician besides your own internal warped metronome? These are the answers that ar ejust given for people wanting to be right

do this: tap on your desk for 1o seconds, and record it with a mic. I wont even ask you to do it for a full 3 minutes to fit a song.

Take that 10 second sample of u tapping, and play your guitar or whatever your instrument and record over it.

Report back with said sample, If I dont hear from you it didnt work out. give me a 1 minute sampling of your great time keeping skill

I played along with nearly the whole song. What I said was it took me about 10 seconds to lock in with the song. that means the first 10 seconds were rough - and I wasn't in time with the recorded track. But only for about 10 seconds.

How do I know I was in time? I listened to the song and what I was doing. Just like I would if I was playing along with someone live. I could tell that I was off beat for about 10 seconds and i could tell I was on beat for the rest of the song. I probably missed a beat here and there, but it wasn't much. And again - it was one time through and I'm not a drummer.

What does that have to do with anything? The whole subject of the thread was the idea of drumming to a previously recorded track that wasn't done to a click. Unless I'm misunderstanding.

I'm at work and don't have the means to record.

I don't have exceptionally great time keeping skill. I never claimed that. What I'm saying is this isn't as difficult as you think it is.

Lets try this again, new subject, hopefully you all learned from the other thread.

Are you sure everyone else has something to learn or is it you?

Lol. This really is that "hates_recording" guy. Same rants, style, bullshit everything. I forgot all about him. Oh well. My points are valid.

Mod supported trolls for post counts!

Yup, he's even posting the same shit this time around. I can't believe you're all still feeding him:

I use ezdrummer, and Ive tried changing the tempos in the right measures, but it never seems to work.

Either the whole song changes tempo or everything after that point changes.

Surely time changes must be doable without the inprecise method of using a wave changer like audacity?

Starve the troll....

Starve the troll....

You're right. I'm back to the Clinic.

Starve the troll never works. Might as well have fun with it and maybe someone can get something out of it. I know I've learned something - I've learned that I'm a fucking badass drummer!

Or better yet, try to create a click track to it

OMFG now you are just being silly. I've created click tracks for HUNDREDS of covers that wander all over the map tempo wise. I lay the track in my DAW (CUBASE) and build a tempo map. It takes about 1/2 hour for a 4 minute song. Then I will typically lay drums and bass to the click, then export and drop box it to the next guy to do his parts. NOTHING TOO IT.

omfg now you are just being silly. I've created click tracks for hundreds of covers that wander all over the map tempo wise. I lay the track in my daw (cubase) and build a tempo map.

whoops - sorry for feeding!

25 pages of this now? Stop the insanity!! Come out and watch me do a couple of songs at an open mic tonight, no drummer, no click track, but I bet you can tap your fingers to the tempo!

Hey! Mr, Ed is on Hulu! He's counting to 4 with his hoof and no click!

 

[gecko zzed]

Sigh.

I think we are done again.

If nothing else, it was entertaining.
