Radical Left Leanings

 I am alive and well and working on a piece of music; I am more specifically sliding things around in time, so that I am trying to match the guitar to the drum track in the exact instant it was played.

The trick there is to recognize when you were in the groove and then slide the timeline of the guitar either to the left or the right.

Left will move the guitar ahead in time relative to the drums, which are computer generated, and hence, unwavering..

The thing you have to experiment with is finding a time when you played your note so perfectly on the beat that the difference is only the amount of time it takes sound to travel a foot.

And then you slide your guitar track to line up with that one instant of near perfection and so at least you know that if the guitar falls off the beat it was the guitarist and not a bad time spotting in Audacity audio editor...

But, I have been sliding the guitar to the left and think I might have gone too far; the guitarist sounds like he is in a hurry...
