Dana, identifying beats in his natural habitat

My latest video shows how I create a tempo map in Pro Tools to sync with a natural, non-clicked recording. Watch my entire tempo mapping process as I prepare for overdubs on a song by singer-songwriter, Zelda. This is one of my best-kept secrets for recording natural live performances: let the artist record freely, without a click, then build a custom click track that follows their performance for use during overdubs. ⚡️

​

I also wrote a blog to accompany the video and it’s chock-full of tips, tricks, and even a bit of psychology 👇
