Bill ,

Just out of curiosity why would you not want a count in ? No intention meant to insult you or your question/thoughts .

Is that not what a group of " for real " musicians depend on to be able to all start playing on the same beat .

And so in my " of beat " thinking here it seems to me that the same should hold true even in " computerized " music such as Band-in-a-Box , audio or midi songs .
