Due to the relaxed feel of the Cuban rhythms, the bar's first note does not always start on the first beat of the bar as per quantised percussion, therefore to enable a clean edit of the note most common to the beginning of the bar, care was taken to document the exact position of the edited note within the bar, to which we would recommend placing your loop, to enable correct positioning and to achieve the correct rhythmic feel.With respect to the surround ambient positioning and time and phase relations remaining constant and accurate, it is recommended to keep the rhythms to their original pitch and tempo. Altering the tempo may cause a difference in the recorded time & space relationship between the ambient microphones and may create differences in the imagery or phase of the ambient placement of the instruments within your audio picture.Pitch and tempo have been recorded to original Cuban references to the styles, so would therefore need no alterations if the original Cuban "Feel" was required. However, art knows no bounds...BACK to main menu
