Title: [NEWBIE] Help with "holes" in song Post by: neclepsio on September 21, 2014, 12:39:48 PM Hello everyone,
I'm moving my first steps in MMA and find it great. I cannot solve a problem that I have in multiple songs. For example: Tempo 97 Groove Ballad 1 F / C 2 Dm 3 C 4 C7 On bar 3, there is a moment of silence on first beat. I think it's related to Ballad groove. How can I avoid it, other than by changing groove? Thank you, Ignazio Title: Re: [NEWBIE] Help with "holes" in song Post by: bvdp on September 21, 2014, 04:20:01 PM First ... welcome to the wonderful world of MMA :)
The "Silence" on the 3rd bar is just how the groove was designed. There is a nice bass note there. But, if it bothers you there are several simple solutions: 1. Use a different groove, 2. Enjoy the silence. Frankly I think it sounds just fine (but I wrote it), 3. Use a riff modification for that bar: Groove Ballad 1 F / C 2 Dm Chord Riff C1234 3 C 4 C7 Riff is something to apply to a SINGLE bar 4. Modify the groove itself. That, too, is easy: Groove Ballad // load the groove to change Chord Sequence C1234 C13 C1 C13 /// just an example, probably sounds awful DefGroove Ballad /// now we have a new ballad groove in memory Let us know what works.

Since I play bass guitar, bass track is disabled in my song! That's why I've this problem. Thank you for the solutions you gave me. I think I will "fork" ballad. Thank you Ignazio Title: Re: [NEWBIE] Help with "holes" in song Post by: bvdp on September 21, 2014, 06:50:06 PM Yes, the missing bass will make it sound very odd indeed ... that's why I aways want a bass player in my group :) Should be easy to have a new ballad groove. See the manual discussion about having your own library which can override the default stdlib.

But I used this solution so rarely... Maybe for other songs it's different.
