Interesting idea. Will definitely check it out. I actually listen to both the click track and the “band” when recording new track. I think that it is just my playing on the rhythm tracks that is the limiting factorAre you sure you don't have a latency issue? To check simply use your mike to record the click track. When you play back the recorded track over the click track it should line up, you can hear it and see it on the waveform. If it doesn't then you will have to follow the software instructions to adjust the latency settings and keep fine tuning until they line up perfectly. Are you hearing the tracks you have already laid down as you record additional tracks or are you just hearing a click track? Much easier to stay in time if you can hear the "band" instead of a click.
Hope that helps.
Thanks again Cap'n (and everyone else who provided feedback).I was gonna suggest that there might be a latency issue to.
Maybe, maybe not.
I think the drum track is more in line with the original recording.
It's hard to separate everything else though.
Something is making this out of sync.
I'm not smart enough to figure our what it is.
I'll say it again:
I think you've captured the tone and vibe of the original but, there's a quirk somewhere that's preventing this from achieving it's full potential.
Stop wracking your brain over this one and find a new challenge .

Don't worry. I am so done with this song.
Man, I feel your pain. I was inspired by your taking on Susie-Q, so I decided to try something by CCR. Except I don't play drums and all percussion goes in either from my MIDI controller or via piano roll entry. Honestly, if I played drums it would be much easier to play along with the original tune and not worry about a click track. Since I'm doing it via the computer, I have to use a click track. Against the original recording, the click is almost useless, as CCR sped up and slowed down at least half a dozen times in a three minute recording. Toss in the fact that in at least three places I've found so far, they stuck in a two beat measure and suddenly it's a 12 bar pattern that's actually 12 and a half bars.Thanks again Cap'n (and everyone else who provided feedback).

I did that, but thought better of doing the same tune someone else had already worked on. From what I heard and did, the MIDI track should be pretty easy.Actually just for grins have gone back and doing the entire rhytm section for Suzie Q in MIDI
Sure, that would be great if it is easy for you.I did that, but thought better of doing the same tune someone else had already worked on. From what I heard and did, the MIDI track should be pretty easy.
If you like, I'll gladly make my MIDI drum track available to you, although I would have to check to make sure everything is on the proper General MIDI note assignments. I build a large kit with a bunch of stuff to work on my ATOM MIDI controller and I arranged most of the drum locations for convenience and not to conform to GM standard.

Just for grins, here is my remix with all MIDI rhythm parts. Time to work on something else

Other then drums and keys, I haven't explored much in the MIDI instrument collection within S1. I ended up assembling my own drum kit samples from an old Alesis D4 drum machine and other assorted files I've found along the way. I really like how easy it is to build a kit using Impact XT.Sounds good. I am in Studio One V5 artist. Thanks.
I am going to continue look for MIDI sounds that are more realistic. So for example the gtr backbeat instrument is listed as "Strat Guitar" in the software but sounds totally fake.
