To follow up and give Noel his props, as I told him in private, given what he told me, I made the drum loop i needed in about 8 minutes.

Allow me...

I found, in a bossa Real Drum pattern, 1 measure of the exact thing I needed. However, it was too fast, and a WMA file. So, step 1 was opening that WMA file in Adobe Audition. From there I snipped out everything in front of and behind the measure I needed. Then I saved that out into a WAV, leaving it at 140 bpm. I then read it in a beat analyzer, as well as timed it with a metronome. It was indeed at 140 bpm. So I opened Real Band, and set up a blank song at 140 bpm. I then imported that one measure. I pasted it 31 times to create a 32 bar loop, then adjusted the tempo to 128 bpm, the tempo of the song they will be used in. I rendered it out as a WAV. And it will be perfect.

Once again I can say I learned a new thing today.

I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
