i have come across occasions where the conductor has had to use a click track in his ear while conducting... and i used to play strings as a child, you follow the conductor // the percussion section...wub wrote:howzer wrote:i used to play percussion in a massive orchestra
Would you have had to use a click track if you'd played strings?
But not a dedicated click track by itself...unless the perc section is playing a constant beat the whole time?howzer wrote:i used to play strings as a child, you follow the conductor // the percussion section...
its a completely different context... if you are playing along to something that has a very rigid time tempo (like EDM) where everything is spot on time... there is little room for error... if you are playing amongst a group of people without a click track... tempo and timing can be compensated easily... not everyone goes EXACTLY on time. so if you are counting 1, 2, 3, 4 in EDM... you can be sure its going to be 1,2,3,4 with the exact same time between each note. that is not the case in an orchestra.wub wrote:But not a dedicated click track by itself...unless the perc section is playing a constant beat the whole time?howzer wrote:i used to play strings as a child, you follow the conductor // the percussion section...

Maybe if you started it like 4 bars before you started the part you want to bring in it would stay but.... yeah that just seems like it's introducing unnecessary problems. I see what you're trying to do, but a click track is probably not the best way to achieve this.

yep, again... i never said it was a great thing to do... i merely stated id tried it out and wanted others thoughts on the idea...wub wrote:Oh I see.
In that case I think DJing with a click track is the equivalent of having training wheels when you're mixing.

I've done that before, highly recommend it.Undrig wrote:Sounds about as useful as djing while wearing a neon shirt.
