A 2pop is a little .wav file with a pop sound. You put that sound at the same time stamp in each and every wave file of a project. when you import the files, you should hear the pop of all your tracks all at once. That's how you know that your tracks are lined up in ttime. this will prevent phasing and other timing issues. -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of thomas de rosa Sent: Sunday, May 18, 2008 5:23 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: click track Kevin, thanks so much. I think I'll try your first suggestion sounds like the simplest way to go. I'm not set up with Skype so I can't call. Now what is a 2 pop? Can I do this without the 2 pop? thanks again, Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Gibbs <mailto:kevjazz@xxxxxxxxx> To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, May 18, 2008 12:59 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: click track Depending on what synths you have, you either have to route the audio of a hardware synth to the input of an audio track on your audio interface, or use a soft synth. Assuming you have the TTS1, simply record one measure with the downbeat on one drum sound, say a high woodblock, and the other beats on another sound, say a low woodblock. Make sure that the downbeats are at a velocity of 127 and the other beats are at a lesser velocity such as 100. Record four bars more than you expect to need. On the downbeats of these extra bars, duplicate the high woodblock with a high tom for the downbeat of 1 for the first three bars, and a floor tom for the downbeat of one of the fourth bar. That lets you separate your count in from your track. You need only enter one measure and then copy that measure for the number of measures you'll need in the project. Assuming you have used the TTS1, you can then freeze the audio track and then export that to a new .wav file, or, you can select the MIDI and audio track of the TTS1 and bounce them to a new track which you can then export to a wave file. If you have never brought tracks to a session in another studio, you should definitely put a 2pop at the head of each track so that when they are imported into the new host, they all line up. A 2pop is a little pop sound that you will hear at the beginning of each track if you have one. If you have Skype and need immediate help, I'm kevjazz and I'm here now.

I'm taking tracks of a project to some body elses studio to do some mixing and they want me to bring along the tracks and add a click track. I can export the tracks seperately but can't figure how to make a click track. Can anyone help. I'd appreciate it, thanks. Best, Tom Tom De Rosa URL www.myspace.com/tder08
