Paulieworld,
Thank you for reviewing "Em Slap Bass-Go With The Flow"! Now listening to your recording. I think it sounds good! I actually liked the instrumental better than the vocals (I hope you take that as a compliment); though the song wouldn't be the nearly as good without having good vocals. Now I am curious. Even though the song I did used slap bass and drums from MMMBass, it wasn't until I used Superior Drummer 3 to help me figure out the original video tempo was 132 beats/minute. It is currently the only way I know how to detect tempo from a pre-existing recording, without a huge amount of trial & error. SD3 actually thought the tempo was 66 BPM for most of MMMBass's recording; it wasn't until I doubled that, was I able to sync MMMBass's drums and bass with my SD3. Did the vocal track of your song tell you the tempo, or did you need software to detect the tempo of the vocal track? I once took a great female vocal track by Fembot (it had nothing else), added my own instrumental (with permission), and the result was mediocre (my fault). Fembot's tempo was fairly consistent, but she did not use a click track of any sort in her recording. I did not own Melodyne at that time, I think. If I redid it, I would use Melodyne's timing correction, and that probably would have helped some.
