BTW, I did a quick test with the syncing accuracy of the now-functioning MMC control and it seems pretty solid. [I] popped the new drum track over the old one and "underneath" the initial guitar efforts. And it seemed to sync up just fine -- at least, to my ears, there wasn't any noticeable offset between the guitars-recorded-over-first-drum-pass and the second drum pass
I was doing this again the other day, and this time did get a lag in the start of the drum part. But I just kept trying and eventually got a start from DB that sync'd up correctly. I am guessing that this has more to do with instabilities in the MIDI signal between my iBook and the deck than anything else, though. On 17/09/2004 14:13, Ben Kennedy wrote:
Actually... maybe some built-in count-off, toggle-able in the prefs, would be useful eh...?
I've thought about this more, and I've found it pretty workable so far to just use some drum sound like a woodblock as a rhythmic count-off. If, in future versions of DB, it were possible to mute given sections of the kit on playback (like if one were outputing separate drum parts to separate channels/files, then one could simply use a sound for the count-offs that wasn't otherwise used in the composition and mute that sound when you wanted a version of the dbsong output without the count-off. I suppose one could build-in a designated "count-off" click that would be available in all dbsongs, regardless of which dbkit was loaded, which one could then mute or not as needed ....
