Swing Feel

[rrayner]

Hi Herbert,

Please see my Shuffle Beat thread.

I adjusted the Hi-hat attack by -40 ticks, and it is quite helpful in "uncovering" the Hi-hat, while not being disruptive to the overall feel of the beat.

Thank you very much for the tip.

In my original entry of this discourse, I stated:

1) one at a time, select all of the offbeat eighth notes and type a+60 and press Enter -- this will move the attack for these notes 60 ticks to the right and decrease the duration of these notes by 60 ticks from 233 ticks to 173 ticks -- also, if you want to smooth out the articulation of the phrase, type d+7 at this point to lengthen the second note of the pair to 180 ticks -- see Segment 5.

I have discontinued using the d+7 mentioned above. It makes little difference in the sound and just consumes data entry time with all of the extra typing.
