Kevin, thanks for the info. I think that procedure might be a little over my head at this point. I guess I'll just keep looking for a loop that is in 3/4 but I don't think there are many. I haven't found one yet. Tom -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Kevin L.

It doesn't "do" anything to the wave file. You'd have to edit the actual .wav file to chop off the fourth beat, or whatever you don't want in it and resave it. This would take some serious scrubbing.

It plays in 4/4 time. I want to make it 3/4 time I make the changes in the meter dialogue box but no change occurs. It looks like Gordon is saying I need to play along with the metronom to get the 3/4 time. I want to know if I could get this drum sample to change. Do I set the time before I copy the file? -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Kevin L.

Do you have different notes assigned to the first beat and other beats in your metronome dialog?

Does anyone know what I'm missing here.

Go to effects, use the application key, arrow to audio sub minue, choose the cakewalk or whatever you want, then go to presets and in the combo box use Ault down error and all of your presets should be there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob" <bob2935@xxxxxxxxx> To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 3:55 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Sonar 5 installed without effects presets > Hi all.
