What are the advantages to Doubling Sequence Tempo?

i think he means just using quantize to move around notes closer to where you had in mind, but thats the thing - you cant get as detaild without doubling the sequence bpm

myself i pretty much always use 16ths

By doubling the tempo, ur notes hit just a split sec quicker. It gives beats one hell of and edge. Do a B.S. sequence w/ the reg and the double tempo. You should be able to hear the difference... very minimal, but it makes a world of difference.

Never knew/noticed that. I'ma hafta try it out. I always just used the double tempo to get a better resolution (you'd be suprised by how minimal of a sound delay your ear can pick up. When I'm laying spoken/vocal samples, just 1 or 2 ticks can make the difference between it sounding like someone is actually saying these things, and being able to tell that its seperate samples being run together). So if I didn't double the tempo, then I couldn't get that precise sound

EDIT: I tried out what you said and I didn't notice any difference, but maybe it's cause I only used drums and one flute sample. might depend on the sample sound or something

yup just quantize

i can get busy without doubling the tempo, i think if i doubled it, my only benifit would be super fast high hats. quantize and maybe some time shift works for me

yeah thats what i ment.
i use both functions.

Also it works with house and dance music if the original tempo was at 60 or 70 bpms you can double the tempo to place your 4 on the floor kicks, snares, and hats. On the 4k you already have 960 ppqs. But you can double quantize up to 128 if you want House music all night long.

I mainly use it when I make those slow hard beats that need that fast rhyme feel to them like most of Twisters songs (and that older Busta Rhymes like "Gimme Some More").

That Busta Rhymes song is sick...

Yeah...I also use it for that style of beats.

i'd say i double the bpm on about 95% of my beats, and for one reason only:

it's more accurate!

i never really quantize - maybe a hihat line every now and then just to make sure the loop is on time - because i just like to play shyt live. that's what the pads are for

Based on the feedback from this thread, I went and reprogramed a couple of my beats using this new method. I found my tracks to be a lot more tighter in timing. I guess I will be doubling my tempo from now on.

Thanks a Lot fellas for the feedback. Respect Due........

shit sounds dope on slow jams, works/sounds better on the 60 than my 2000xl for some reason.
