whatz on your mind

the latest song I put together with Friends Matt playing drums and Jimmy playing guitar. It started with a grooving Bass beat I put down to which Matt started a beat that blended with mine and jimmy came in with a guitar rhythm some spots sounded great during the jam but others went out of sync when one of us tried to get too tricky and was too far off beat. To fix this on the track I cut out the beginning and end of the jam session which synced. But parts were still off between Matt’s drums and my Bass so I played back only Matt’s drums and re-recorded the Bass part at times speeding up or slowing a little to stay in groove with the drums. For the most part this worked. I then added re-enforcing music on my keyboards which complimented the beat so this made the few off rhythms less obvious. This is why I suggest doing the Bass and Drums first so the rhythm is easier to follow.
