So my uncle - who gave me my first guitar and is a singer/songwriter - is still working on tunes in his 70s.
He sent me an mp3 of a cool new song - just an acoustic guitar and voice. He doesn't have the stems as it was recorded at someone else's place. It obviously wasn't done to a click/metronome. :/
I understand the basics of the smart tempo/flex time editing as I have used it before (and I know there are lots of youtube vids out there) ... and the tools do "pretty good" with this track. I have added bass and some slide guitar, but as things went on, I realized it wasn't going to work.....because there are some pauses/holds in the tune that throw it off...as well as a different feel or time signature in the prechorus that I just cant account for (half time feel? 12/8? not sure).
It is worth working on, or should I just scrap the "must lock it in" idea (for Drummer / loops etc) and just play/record like it's a tape player?
Here's the org track (had to downsample to attach)...It's a cool tune that has a neat story behind it. Would appreciate any advice or help!
Here's a bit of what I added:
