Hi @dan00075 . Hi Daniel , here is a track for you , Thank you for your patience . ( Sync setting maybe @ - 00 : 00 . 116 ) I adjusted mono setting , as my recording went to single channel , and I gave recording a ' boost ' . Hope its ok ,
I did the second track, the cymbals are still missing ... I'm sweating :-)
