Hi
This is going to be tricky for me to describe so please bear with me.
I was given some stems from a band jam, where the timing was all over the place, so I decided to try to make some kind of sense of it.
I originally imported the stems about a month ago and did some fiddling around. I can't remember now exactly how I imported the files or what I did on the 1st day. Yes, I know, not very helpful. I'm still trying to get to grips with all the time correction stuff in Logic.
I decided the basic tempo was 142 because the bass was playing a 2 note cyclical thing and the singing fit over it at that tempo. Originally there were no drums but I added a kind of Krautrock basic pattern and that fits OK at 142 too.
However when I import the picking guitar, the only way it sounds very vaguely in time is when the Smart Tempo says it's 75.2. It's not really in time so I want to try and fix that but if I try and quantize it to get it in time, the tempo jumps to 142 and the guitar is now playing about twice as fast. It doesn't seem to make any difference if the tempo on that track is set to variable or constant.
If my description of the problem is understandable, is there anything I can do to try and correct the timing of the picking guitar track?
Should I attach some files to illustrate the above?
Thanks for reading ...
