More beat fixing techniques

Hello all you rhythmically challenged folks

Another Beat Detective alternative today. Can you tell I've been working with nothing but drums for the last few days? It's all for Larry Lavelle's project, Level on the Line, that should be finished in the coming months.
Today I was working on a song were I am replacing some simple fake drums with some simple real drums with nearly the exact same pattern. (Larry, if you're reading this, the song in question is "Up To The Sky"). So instead of wasting countless hours using Beat Detective to make all my mistimed hits sound right, after recording a few takes to get my best performance, I simply listened to the track I recorded and the programmed fake drums at the same time and adjusted the offending hits when I heard them. Turns out I'm a better drummer than I thought :-)
This whole process took just an hour and a half, far less time than the arduous process of fixing every single hit in Beat Detective.

On another note, I released a new album today. Get it here: www.javboyrecords.com/home.htm
