Suggestions
As recording a Style is a rather complex procedure, at least
at the beginning it may be helpful to follow these recommen-
dations in order to obtain satisfactory results straight away:
• Edit an existing Style after having copied it into a Prog.
Style. Working from tracks which are already there is much
easier than creating from nothing, and helps you under-
stand how the musicians who created the CD20/30
worked.
• Starting from scratch, be content with recording just some
of the essential parts, for example Drum and Bass or Drum
and Acc1. When you have achieved a satisfactory result,
then you can carry on and record all the tracks.
• Record at a very slow tempo, bringing it up to speed only
on completion.
• Make use of the automatic correction functions; at first it
may seem difficult to use them, but later you will regard
them as fundamental means necessary for your compo-
sitions.
