1. Click Tracks Analytics

Hey everyone, so I'm trying to record my band and the drummer is having a heck of a time recording to a click track. The problem is it doesn't seem like he's actually letting the click be the master time keeper. It's like he's listening to the pre count in, matching his internal clock and then ignoring the click entirely from there. My favorite complaint from last night's session 'I'm having trouble keeping time with this annoying click in my ear'.We've tried recording a guitar and bass guide track to the click. I've always practiced guitar to a metronome so it's second nature to me.

We've tried a number of count combinations (4/4, 4/8, 4/16 etc) and even slowing the overall tempo down.Any advice? Or should I just give up and go with no click? Have the guy start by playing a very basic beat to a recording of one of his fave songs.

Don't match what the recorded drums are doing, just do a basic beat with no fills or acrobatics and see if he can match the tempo from start to finish.Once he can do that, have him do it by putting real basic fills after every 4 bars until he can maintain the tempo and finish the fill by coming in on the downbeat.After that, see if he can actually play along to the song the way it's recorded.Once he can get through this, he should be able to stay in line with that annoying click.While he's working through his lesson plans, find a drummer who can play to a click and finish your recordings. There's plenty on these forums.

The downloaded audio file is a high quality, MP3 file with the CLICK & CUES panned to the LEFT channel, and the TRACK mix is panned to the RIGHT channel. This separation allows for the drummer on stage (and anyone else on in-ear monitors) to hear the click only in their ears, while the track mix adds to the live band mix in the house.
