Drummer not matching with click track -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Drummer not matching with click track Posted by: pukeboy Date:4/23/2002 3:02:13 AM Ok, here's the deal. I've recorded my drummer on a 4-track, and plan on bringing it into Sound Forge/Vegas. The problem is that my drummer is off from the click track on most of the tracks, although he's pretty much in tempo with himself. I need to take these tracks and sync them up to this click track. Doesn't Sound Forge or Acid have a feature that let's you set a certain BPM, and Sound Forge will "snap" the peaks to this BPM? Some kind of beatmatcher?? Anybody?? And please don't say "get a new drummer". Thanks!

You can quantize MIDI data, which is to sync up the beats according to a time-signature. You can't do this, however with recorded audio. I suggest you keep trying until he gets it right or better yet, record him straight into Vegas with a metronome set to his tempo and the tempo of your project. Hope this helps.
