Hey U Guys,

Listen Up...
Im tryin to get sumptin straight here, but it aint workin fo me. (Yes ive read the manual, but it still aint clear)
What I wanna do is tryin to get my drums kicked in a good flow.
But as i listen what i have kicked in. It seems that the tempo aint right.
When the drums play, it seems that it skips like a second or sumptin, so it doesnt sound right. It doesnt roll.
Ima give yall my settings.
My settings are tempo 95.0, timing 1/16 and bars set at 8, Tsig 4/4.
Am I doin sumptin wrong here?
U guys help me out!! PLZ!!!

not sure what you mean by "it dosnt roll" but im gonna take a guess and say try setting your swing to 60% or above.

[highlight TIMING and hit open window to adjust swing]

Im guessing your not hitting the pads to the tempo and the quantize is putting it where it should be with the tempo you have selected. Make sure your using the metronome and hitting the pads on tempo.

Perhaps the start point of your samples need to be trimmed a bit. A tiny bit of silence before a sample can really **** up timing.
