ok so i load up some drums(or Samples).

i start recording when i finish the playback sounds nothing like what i played when i was hitting the pads and recording.. :?

it sound FUKED UP!!! NOTHING like what i wanted it to sound. i tried switching Seq tempo and main tempo but shyt got even worst (i forgot what i wanted it to sound like by then).

it happens mostly when i trigger a sample friquently.... or try to make high tempo kit..

shyt pisses me off, cuz i have an idea, but then it sound like shyt when i play it. by the time a switch the tempo and othe shyt i already for got what i was owrking on...

Its good that u are expressing your feelings, you shouldn't feel alone. And i think if u are strong you might be able to overcome this obstacle in life.

ha ha ha,

There are SOOO many things that could cause this (mechanical/human), your not being specific enough.

Ok

I press REC, then i play the pad (sample or drums) when im done and the play back comes in, it sounds nothing like what i just played on the pads..

i Recorded

Kick.....snare......kick,kick......snare.

but it plays back like this

Kick..snear..kickckicksnare.

Now I think I see.











































You have no rhythm, lmao.

JK, practice makes perfect. Keep at it and have some patience big dog..

Try recording the SAME pattern on different metronomes
and FOLLOW the damn click and you WILL be fine, trust that... lol...

the clicks acutally thorw me off... but i found out what i was doing wrong..

the tempo of the seq was off from teh mas, so the seq ended sooner then the mas tempo.

The clicks throw you off? Dang.

Well I remember when I first figured out the seq/mas thing.

It took some getting used to.
