I’ll agree with you so that both of us are wrong.
Reading Damo's "timing frustration" post reminds me of how inadequate I have been at counting/playing at the same time. Something has come up recently that has really pointed out to me how much practice I need regarding counting. I picked up a Beat Buddy drum pedal a few weeks back and have been having a great deal of fun playing along with this drum machine. I have also been starting to use the looper function on my Helix. Used alone, these two things are great fun. My issue comes in when I start a drum pattern and then record a loop with the drums. Unless I hit the start and stop loop buttons exactly in time, the loop will either be way out of time with the drums (if I really miss it) or the loop will gradually get out of sync with the drums. Every now and then I will hit it just right so that the loop keeps right in time with the drum beat. I have been making myself count out the beats as I play the loop, trying to hit the start / stop right on the 1. If nothing else, this is good practice but can also be very frustrating every time I hear the loop stray away from the drum beat. I am sure that a lot of it is my timing and my ability to hit the looper buttons exactly on time. Other than the practice that I am doing now, do any of you have any suggestions? Like I said, I thought I was doing pretty good with the looper by itself but once I added the drum pedal into the mix, it showed that I was not looping as accurately as I thought I was.
