Hi Rockstar...........not!

Thank you for giving an idea to try, because I'm at a loss at the moment and going around in circles changing, cutting slicing dicing styling..............not to mention the odd cursing!


I didn't purposely set out to write a song in 6/8, it was only now when I am trying to put together a beat to my lyrics and melody that I realise it is 6/8 time.

The song is fairly folky when I sang it but it could be hard rock too.

Can you imagine a soldier in days gone by with red coats and the drummer boy beating on the snare going into battle, well thats the sort of image the song conjures up BUT I have tried nearly every pattern in BIAB and nothing matches, if I find a beat near the guitars are off etc etc.
3/4 just don't swing it for my song...............so

I have today, downloaded the free version of MT drums and just in the middle of experimenting with it in my Mixcraft DAW.

There are quite a few 6/8 versions plus fills. I have noticed that the 3/4 time in BIAB is now twice as quick as the MT drums. For example the 3/4 style I used in BIAB is 140BPM but if I wish to use the MT drums over the song it has to be 70BPM .
I have only listened to it once but it seemed a little out of sync, but maybe it needs a tweek.

Before I go and spend another 3 days trying various styles has anyone come across the problem and would I be on the right course for finding a workaround to solve my little problem.

My other problem is of course I cant fingerpick the guitar well enough to give the groove I want so I must rely on my 'Band in a box' to do its best.

I have jumped from folk to country to hard rock to celtic, I can't shelf the song because I told my wife I had written it for her so I must continue.

Paul
