That explains the feel timing wise. I wasn't paying that much attention to the beat but just felt it was different.

I do tend to go over on the reverb I think, good pointer. I haven't really tried out A3 yet, I am still working with A2 as my DAW. I don't find it limiting though as I record all analog signals right now. I have MIDI equipment, but I am still exploring having lots of tracks. When I was last recording, I had only 4 tracks and so using one for timecode so I could track drums and some other things as MIDI was worthwhile (almost 20years ago). Having unlimited tracks is a new experience :) -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
