Hi, Floyd!

That is an excellent suggestion. I tend to wait until the song is all worked out and then try to tackle the end...the long way around:) It always seems to me that the endings are random, though I doubt that's the case. I guess experimentation is what it takes.


I'm getting ready to mix a ballad, with the Nashville 2 Beat RDs most likely. The tempo change happens quickly, over just the last measure. I'll try a short .sgu and 1 beat per measure to see if I can shape something. I'll finger-pick an acoustic for this song and I can get away with quickly fading the RD's and the bass guitar at normal tempo on the first beat of the last measure. That may be what I end up doing.

Thanks guys. I'll go listen to that song, Herb.
