i leave it like that perm , so it still be all sync together right and i do use time correct on my snares and etc and it works fine and has a better sound.
i guess the 8 clicks helps me judge the beat than the 4

yeah, learn the differences of the time correction. if you're making a simple beat, having time correction on 1/32 or whatever will not go over well. its a simple problem. read the manual, word up.

yeah... you leave it that way and work at a higher BPM... obviously you double the length of your Sequence as well so it will be the right length for the speed. it's basically like working at a higher resolution... 'cause even without time correction on, there are only so many "ticks" per beat that a note can be recorded on... double the speed and you're doubling the amount of ticks you can record on. if a drum hit was getting rounded off to the nearest tick and sounding off beat, this will make it more accurate. pretty simple actually.

try recording the audio of yourself bangin' out... if it sounds as sloppy as when the sequencer plays it back then get your sh!t together and don't bother reading further....

not quite... because of the fact that pads are played back according to MIDI timing when the sequencer is playing them and not in the sample accurate way in which they can be played... there is a difference between a track played live and one recorded and played back in the sequencer...

it takes awhile to get used to the sequencer. one thing that can help you get used to the timing is to practice with short samples or samples with fast attacks.

Not everybody's going to necessarily agree with all that i said, but practicing is the main thing that'll help you in this area....
