Hi PL,
Thank you. The illustration helps. I'm trying to picture how my signal chain is routed. And yes we are acoustic. However, we both run our guitars through preamps into physical mixers and to the sound card. Although, I have other hardware hanging off my mixer such as a compressor, eq and reverb units.
I believe I mistakenly used the word "lag". I should have said my partner appears to be 1 interval behind.
Perhaps I should ask a different question as my partner and I are new to using NinJam.
What should each of us expect to hear?
If our bpi/bpm (interval) is set the same on both sides for the chord progression and I start on the 1 beat(bpi) and my partner comes in on the second 1 beat, we should then be fairly well in time with each other. As long as the chord progression stays the same we're good. But, if the song during the third interval calls for chord changes, will I hear my parter still on the original chord progression while I do the third interval?
OK....lets say...bpi=32 / bpm=130
1st Player .........................2nd Player
Int 1 = G/C/D.......................NO.........
Int 2 = G/C/D.......................Int 1 = G/C/D
Int 3 = Am/C/G......................Int 2 = G/C/D
Int 4 = C/D/G.......................Int 3 = Am/C/G
Int 5 = G/C/D.......................Int 4 = C/D/G
Int 6 = G/C/D.......................Int 5 = G/C/D
My partner is 1 interval behind. Should I expect my partner to be where I am in the progression or am I just not getting the big picture?
Hmm ... or perhaps, my partner would skip, Int 2 and go to Int 3 instead?
In any case, I'm sure we'll get it figured out. It might take us a few questions on the forums here, so I hope you all don't mind.
Can the BPI be set to an odd number or does the BPI need to be a multiple of 4?
How is 3/4 time handled?
Does the BMP affect the BPI?
What about vocals/harmonies? Is that a whole other range of issue?
Thanks again!
