Re: RC-50 wierdness



can you clock protools (only now, not live) to the rc-50 just to get  
the existing loops in?

also, i don't know if i'd call myself a protools guru, but they have  
asked me on a couple of occasions to be a beta tester for them..  you  
might want to re-clock your protools so that the tempo's line up. but  
really, if you know about digital recording, then you know that there  
is absolutely no way that you can get any two digital devices to  
agree on any tempo without being clocked together. it seems kind of  
unrealistic, again, unless i'm misunderstanding.

when you say "recorded a song live" does that mean with a whole band/ 
other tracks? or just your loops? were the units clocked together  
when recording? why not adjust the tempo in protools down .5 bpm (or  
whatever..) to get it to match?
