Well, after 4weeks and a $197.00 Harmonica course, I figure it's time to put it to use. On this one I used a Hohner Special 20 in "C"(Thanks to J.P.Allen), an EJ160 mic'd, a Dean Sarasota 12 (Ric'd out), a Gretsch Jet Bass strung with Pyramids, and EZ Drummer, all recorded on Audacity.

Nice harmonica action, partsman!

It seems to me that that drum part is not in synch with the rest of the song, however. It starts out on the downbeat and slowly morphs into the backbeat. Give it another listen and see if it can be reprogrammed somehow and rerecorded. Or maybe you might try to find a click track to record to.

You Know Ric, you're absolutly right. I work my a off getting the guitars and accompaniment correct. THEN EZ Drummer just won't sync-up unless I move it in one beat at a time, and that takes forever. It's definatly a latency problem.

Harmonica sounds perfect!

I could not get EZ drummer to work. I had similar out of sync problems. So I ended up using drum loops instead.

OK, I just went through it at 120bpm, which is a snare strike once every second, Right? If thats is correct.....It should be RIGHT ON now.

Wouldn't 120 beats per minute be two beats every second? Or, better stated, if quantized, one beat every half second?

I just gave the new version a listen and it sounds like you are continuing to have some problems with it, partsman, although it does sound better.

If quarter note tempo = 120 bpm, and snare is on 2 & 4, that would be one snare hit every second, no?

Is quarter note tempo = 120 bpm?

I understood his statement to be a description of the tempo of the song, which is 120 bpm. Intuitively, one would think that, since there are 60 seconds in a minute, that would equate to two beats per second, or 120 beats per 60 seconds.

Where the analysis runs off the tracks for me is when one changes the analysis from what the speed or tempo is (120 bpm) to how those beats within the 60 seconds are allocated (beats on the 2 and 4). Isn't this mixing apples and oranges, somehow? Does one measure = one second? Two seconds? Who determines this? Isn't that a function of the time signature and the tempo?

I am sure that intuition plays little role in this analysis and that I am waaaaaaay off kilter here. So, educate me T-man.

Sorry, My 2 centavos is 120bpm would be snare on the second (i.e upbeat) Bass or "kick" on the half(i.e. down beat) one complete cycle =2 or X's 60sec.=120bpm.

According to Toontrack (the makers of Ezdrummer) EZDrummer does not work properly in Audacity. Try Reaper.
