I export the finished drums to an exisiting song in Logic Express. The tempos (tempi?) in Doggiebox and Logic are both set at 100 bpm, but the Doggiebox track started to run away from the rest of the song. With Logic, you can adjust the tempo of existing MIDI tracks to that of any imported audio. As the drums played faster than the MIDI tracks, I did so. The Doggiebox tempo clocked at 101.5 bpm. No biggie, but if I'd had some existing audio in the song, I would have had to go back to Doggiebox and reduce the tempo, in order to get a match in the original. Again, any idea why?
Did this problem, whatever exactly it was, ever get fixed? I remember various people reporting some problems with tempo drift, and I think i I remember some fixes regarding tempo drift in several releases since IE7, but wasn't sure what the full story was. I've been messing around with GarageBand and Cubase as compositional tools, finding easy to cut myself a few short basic segments with DB to use as copyable/pasteable/repeatable drum loops in GarageBand or Cubase. Then I can pretty brainlessly change my mind about how long that bit in the pre-chorus or whatever is while I'm composing the song, and once I'm happy with it I can go back to my DB part and make cleverer drum part with more little performance and tempo variations for use in the proper recording. But I did wonder whether anyone had confirmed that when DB was told to do 100bpm, he consistently and reliably holds it to 100bpm?
