Hello, Noel...

Please accept my apology for not getting on-line yesterday. To answer your questions...

1) Yes, the #707 electric guitar solo sounds as fine on the string track as it sounded on the soloist patch.

2) I followed your instructions to re-assign the organ to the strings patch and I set the "timebase" to double-time rather than normal time. There was a subtle change in the number of bars that had all those clusters of beamed sixteenth notes. It seemed there were not so many of them.

I'm thinking that maybe what's really going on is my perception of what sounds "wrong" about the organ. It appears to me that in those bars where so many notes are being played that it just sounds too fast. However, if that is any indication of Mike LeDonne's skill at playing the organ, then my hat is way, way off to him!

3) I went back into the Real Tracks picker and set the timebase back to normal time. Pretty much the same as double-time.

4) No, the strings patch is not frozen, nor are any of the other patches.

As I said above, maybe I have to re-adjust my expectations. If I decide that the playback is just too much for me, I'll do what I have done in the past to resolve a seemingly intractable problem, which is to reset the program to "factory settings" and see what happens.

I'll let you know. Thank you again for taking your precious time to assist me, Noel!

Sincerely,

bluage
