Hi folks - been a while. Been a while since I've needed some feel help, but i'm having trouble getting the 6/8 feel for a cover of Cohen's Hallelujah.

Any direction would help.

Imported midi still converts to 4 - thanks in advance.

Hi Poppa,

In addition to 6/8 styles, there are also some 12/8 styles that might do the job. Also, a slow swing style (because swings are triplet based) would also be worth looking at.

Regards,
Noel

Thanks Danny - getting close now. I'm checking out newer realstyles and realdrums now to see what I need to buy to get what I'm hearing in my head. I think it's RT 107 but will be sure before I buy. PopRockWaltzModern or PopRockWaltzMarch.... we'll see.

Hi
This is how I deal with 6/8 songs with BB. I Convert my midi file melody to 3/4, import in BB has a 3/4 song and select a waltz style with a 6/8 feeling. Just adjust the tempo. You convert the 6/8 notes to 3/4 by just doubling the value of the notes. If you wish, I can sent you my BB version.
