To my stout Mac mind, that blog could just as well serve as a very decent case for "Eight reasons why we want RB on the Mac too, dangit!"  So even if that whole angle "never crossed your mind", Jo, I'd like to say thanks for the moral (if slightly accidental) support to our cause 
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!

What I need is a tutorial on how to program half note triplets. I have tried every combination of ^ and ^^ and ^^^ and ^^^^ and end up saying *&^%@#$ every time. I asked once before and got a math dissertation about how to cut measures into pulser per minutes and all the accompanying yada yada. I just want to put in a part that plays on 1, the and after 2, and 4.
So
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
Specifically, G and 2 D 3 and Em and (then a D resolve on the next 1).
I have been trying to do this for like 3 years now and still have not gotten it right. I got it CLOSE, but this isn't horseshoes OR hand grenades, so I need it right. I am just out of options. I can play the MUSIC in time, but the drums don't line up if the syncopation isn't there. To be honest though, I have never understood why the RB term is "pushes", when what I want to do is PULL the beat back in time, or toward me. Pushes, holds, shots.... 8 years into this and I don't really know those. Shot to me is when the drummer hits the rim on the snare drum. Holds I get with the different number of dots.
So a tutorial on half note and quarter note triplets would be great.

Hi Icelander. Thanks for reading the blog. I appreciate it. As mentioned, I had no idea that Realband was not available for Mac until now...so glad I could make your case for PG Music to put some work into this.
Eddie, sorry but I have no idea how to do that!

So you want G on 1, D on 2-AND then Em on 4?
That part should be easy enough, I'm guessing it is the drums that are the issue (?)
I imagine it would be hard to find the realdrum/drum style that would cooperate. You may have to try a lot of variations, and even then it would probably be lucky to find something you already know/want.
But MIDI drum should be just as easy to input or create that pattern.
I think 'Push' implies the track is 'pushing ahead of the beat' and not 'pushing the track back'. If that makes sense.
I suppose 'Rush' could just as easily be used. The track rushes ahead .. but I think standard jazz slang would use push.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Make your sound your own!

I can get the music close enough to acceptable but the drums just won't syncopate to match the music. And the specific song this applies to really needs those accents at the end of the chorus. As close as I have gotten it was locating a spot where there is a splash cymbal and a snare hit at the same time, slicing it out, then manually pasting that on the right spots in the measures. It's a pain in the southernmost part of my upper torso, but I got it close enough for the demo to send to the girl I wanted to sing the thing. I think 'Push' implies the track is 'pushing ahead of the beat' and not 'pushing the track back'. I think of this in terms pf how sometimes a vocal line starts ahead of the next downbeat. (goin' to... KANsas city, where goin' to comes before the downbeat) I have always used the term "anticipated" for that. I guess that's what a push is in RB terminology. And that confused me, because it seems like "pull" would be more accurate, that you are PULLING something to play ahead of the downbeat where it logically seems to be programmed. The computer nerd in me thinks of that as a timeline, and you are standing on the downbeat. To move it back in time to your left is pulling. To move it forward in time to your right is pushing. That's where I got confused by the term at first. But that's enough about this. This is Joanne's thread.
