The unique/tough thing about hand-claps is that it is their slight rhythmic imperfection that makes them sound good. That's what sets 10 pairs of clapping hands apart from 3 pairs -- there's more of them that are all just a little bit off (and randomly at that). I'm guessing that this would be hard to reproduce (?). ... that said, having SOME sort of hand-clap option in DB would certainly be of use. If (maybe) not for the final recording, certainly for every other step of production. Maybe a 'few' set and a 'many' set of handclaps in DB with 3-5 and 7-10 pairs of hands, respectively? mjk

Charlie, you could always use up all 8 tracks of PT Free (in a separate session) to get the hand-clap sound you want and then export the end product as a mono file, and import it into the song session for which you need it. It is a hassle, but.... This might also be a way of getting a file which you could import into DB.
Cheers, Pascal

The question is... what does a good hand-clap sound like? How many pairs of hands?
I think a Zen handclap, with just one hand clapping, should certainly be included as an option :)
Cheers, Carl
Obviously the Zen version is essential for the more spiritual musicians amongst us, but for the more practical members, how many pairs of hands is a good question...
I've been using Pro Tools free and I never get a good clapping sound - best I've got is double tracking myself clapping 3 times -

I've never been bothered going past this 'cos you start to hit the 8 tracks limit with the Freebie Pro Tools fairly quickly. Be great if they are added in Version 1.xxxxx
Cheers, Charlie
