Tutorial - Metronome:  use DrumTrak to put a drum track together

Sometimes you just want a simple drum track to record over.
Sometimes you just want a click track.
DrumTrak does that.



Just pick a tempo and drumtrack bars to play.
The default pattern is:  intro [a b a b a b a Fill]
Intro is a 4 count click.  You pick what a and b and fill bars are below.

Ditty is automatically started by DrumTrak to play the picked pattern.
DrumTrack sends Ditty a _new.song file with the glued together drumtrack track.
Plus a track ready for recording into.


I've included some demo drum bar clips in this archive
in the {MidiPath}\Compose\Clip\DrumPat and DrumFill directories.
They are .trak files constructed via Txt2Trak.  (see Txt2Trak reference docs)

For a simple blues backing drum track,
try using a tempo of 90 and
 a=Blues\1
 b=Blues\2
 A=Blues\1 fill.

Or you can try a=b=A=Click4 for a basic metronome track.

If "Tell Ditty" is checked EACH change will be sent to Ditty.
Might want to leave it unchecked while adjusting tempo :)

Next up, recording with Ditty.
