Measures, Beats, and Ticks...oh my ! - 08/15/11 07:46 PM
Folks,
Can someone explain what a tick is when it comes to tick counts in a measure for me?
I know when I am editing a track that I can select From - Thru and I put in 1:1:0 for measure one, beat, one, and tick zero and when I enter in let's say 34:3:120 that this is measure 34, beat 3, and ..... 120 is at the end of beat three, but that is all I really understand of what I am entering.
I do know that ticks range from 0-120 because anything else I enter pops up the splash window stating "hey you...only 0-120 work".
Would someone elaborate just a bit on this for me and I guess when and why would I enter anything else beside a 0 and and 120 when I edit a track?
Thank you for your time.
