Tempos used on sessions please!

Hello Indaba family! I am a drummer that is working on a few sessions here with some great friends. I need to ask a favor of everyone that records tracks to upload. The best thing that you can do to end up with a professional sounding product is to figure out what tempo you are using and record your part with a click track set at that tempo. Then when you start your session and upload your files put that tempo in the notes or even post it as a first post in the session to get things going.

As a drummer there is nothing more frustrating than trying to play steady time to a guitar, vocal or bass track that is NOT at a steady tempo. Again, if you are uploading tracks for drummers to add drums to, you NEED to record your part to a click or metronome and post what BPM you recorded it at.

Thanks again and keep rockin!
