BTW - it is *sometimes* interesting to embed a 3/4 or 6/8 loop in a 4/4/ signature. What Acid does is spread out the 3/4 audio evenly so that the beats are coming at odd, but mathematically correct times. Again, with Acid it's very easy to just 'play'. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
