Re: EDP - Sync With Cubase Problem - Strange



Hi Andy,

Not sure what you mean when saying "...because you want the sync to arrive
at the EDP later than the loop end, rather than earlier."

I'm pressing the Record switch during the last bar I'm recording so the EDP
stops recording on the downbeat of the following measure.  I'm doing this
so I know I have a loop of X bars at a predetermined bpm.  Then, i can
layer the loop, record into cubase and add drums w/o having to calculate
some the bpm of the loop - something i don't seem to be very good at!

Thanks,

M...
