surfmonkey Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Is there such a thing? Wouldn't it be cool to have like a Dr. Beat plug-in that you could run. Just press a few buttons and have multiple subdivisions in seconds. I'd find that pretty handy. Anyone else? I have no homepage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else?[/quote][b] I mus' be in recording hell cuz ' the las' time I tried to use one o' them new-fangled METRO GNOMES it was FLUCTUATING at a variable speed. (I could not believe it). For a while I figgered I was jus' havin' a FLASH-BACK or another one of them ABDUCTION NIGHT-MAREs or somthin'. "c'mon man?" I tried and tried to get it to work correctly; I know I did everyting' okay yet it still fluctuated. So now I make a drum track as my time-standard. it takes a little longer yet I get to work out all the parts as I go. by the time I finish the drums enough to go all the way to the end of the piece I usually have all the other instruments arranged as well. seems to be working out better for me this way. somwhow. I thought one was supposed to use a click beat then go on from there; this way seems easier as well..I remove a step or somethin'.. seems like.[/b].

Brakka Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 That's a good idea. I don't know if it's a "plugin" type thing, but it would be cool to have click track options in a DAW. Maybe some do, the ones I've used are quarters with one sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakka Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Google found [url=http://www.dancetech.com/aa_dt_new/hardware/ITEM.CFM?threadid=597&lang=0]this Windows-only VSTi[/url] that might be kind of what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogfur Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 How about this thing called Ping? http://www.cakewalk.com/products/dxi/ping.asp Woof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfmonkey Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 Those both look pretty cool, especially Ping. I couldn't tell if either of them played triplet subdivisions, or did odd time signatures? I assume Ping is part of Sonar and not sold separately? Yeah, I 'm surprised DAW's don't come with a more flexible click, other than quarter notes. I have no homepage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would just be nice to have some kind of metronome so that I don't have to take time to setting it up. I have no homepage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
