Mario.

let me apologise in advance if i'm failing you...
i do songs by 'feel' and am no good at theory...lol.

all i can say is ive imported both 5/4 swing and even into mtstudio plus reaps. and both even and swing perform the same in both daws.

try this...boot up mtstudio and import both files ie even and swing into different tracks. do the graphics look right to you ?
remembering of course to set 5/4 as time sig.
reapeat in reaps v2...its a quick dload and boot up.

please clarify one thing ...are you saying you want the drum beats to line up ? but your not getting that re 5/4 but ARE when switching to 4/4.

i'm very very sorry if i'm not understanding your problem...
and maybe its a more complex issue than i'm understanding.

fyi...sorry but i will now be incommunicado till saturday as i'm doing family stuff.

its all my fault i'm no good at music theory...in theory class i...like every bad lad ...was too enraptured with our new music teacher....lol...we were like obediant puppy dogs...lol.
actually kudos to her...she encouraged me hugely to pursue my desire to write songs.

i would urge you to try 5/4 odd and even in other daws like mtstudio and reaps and see if you get the results you were expecting....if you DO then i would suspect an additional setting needs to be made in s1.
definitely s1 is a very good daw...so it might be a setting.
could triplet feel have anything to do with this ? there is an option in s1
i noticed after pressing the Q icon.


happiness.
