TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

What's a click track? One of those things that goes beep boop boop boop beep boop boop boop ?

Now I have a click track stuck in my head.

Thanks for the onomatopoeia, Trip.  :argh!:

Ableton Live has a button for that. It's annoying as fuck, I prefer looking at the waveforms and aligning them with the graphical timing tick lines.

It's like the Lorem Ipsum of music, right? ;-)

I actually have a difficult time playing to a click myself. For some reason it's too easy to lose my place if it's not something based off of kick-snare-kick-snare. Maybe because a click is monotonous and and feels kinda like a sonic itch.

Or, you need to practice with it more.  It's really quite unforgiving.

For me it's because it doesn't have a quick enough Attack-Decay. It's just a beep. Indeed, couldn't you just record a kick and a snare then electronically loop them? In fact maybe better getting them from a synth, even, so you can make them unnaturally snappy and slightly synthetic sounding so it's obvious they're not part of the music. Or maybe a series of (synth) open and closed hihats?

Don't have the same problem with a drum machine though.

Sometimes I'll program and practice to a simple beat where the bass and snare hit on the quarter notes and the hi hat on the eighth notes. Works pretty well for me. Hammerhead loops automatically.

My metronome is hand-held, changes tempos at the touch of a button, multiple syncopation presets, time signatures, a "tap to set" function for instant identification of tempo, and doesn't need a computer or sampling program to function.  For under $50.

I'm not really good with those "physical" instruments and their strangely-shaped GUIs. And if it's not on a computer, it won't sync with the computer! ;-)

Alright, so Peter, Villager, Anne Marie and I will be going over today. Pat will not be because he's got other plans. This should be good- it's a Saturday, and we're all going to be there around 3:30, instead of starting around 7:00. I don't expect to start tracking anything on my end. We'll probably finish up tonight recording Villager's bass lines.
