Re: [Rosegarden-user] Quantisation?
Quantizing can be used for two main purposes: 1. To make sheet music that looks good. 2. To make your performance sound more "perfect". Rosegarden is supposed to be able to do either, but I've had trouble getting it to do #1 without also doing #2. > One comment the person did say was that it was better to use it as you > were playing, vs on recorded items, because the results were better for > some reason. That might be related to getting sheet music that looks good without touching the performance. Ted.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Question abou tplaying 2 tracks at once
I suspect you might be recording in multiple-take mode, which is for a different purpose. The usual procedure for multitrack recording is as follows: Arm (yellow light) track 1. Make sure no other tracks are armed. Record. A recording segment should appear on track 1. Stop when done. Un-arm track 1 and arm track 2. Record. A recording segment should appear on track 2. Stop when done. Now play and you should hear both. There are problems that can crop up, though, so if it still isn't working, we'll need to look a little more closely at your setup. To "arm" or "un-arm" a track, click on the yellow light to the left of the track. When lit, the track is armed. You can hover over the lights to get a tooltip explaining what each one is for. (I can never keep solo and mute straight, so I use the tooltips all the time.) Ted. On 5/18/23 9:58 PM, Jozseph Hogan wrote: I am starting to play a little bit with rosegarden an recording tracks.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] metronome question
Thanks Ted You tip solved my issue. I get the metronome at thspeed that I want now. Thanks Joseph On 5/16/23 10:50, Ted Felix wrote: The easiest way to change the tempo in Rosegarden is to right-click in the tempo ruler (the blue ruler above the bar numbers) and select "Edit Tempo...". From there you can change the tempo. See the documentation on the wiki: https://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/doc:manual-en#tempo_and_time_signature Once the tempo is changed in the composition, the metronome tempo should change as well. I've attached a small example .rg file you can try. It starts out at 140bpm then drops to 90 at bar 3. Load it up, turn on the metronome and press play. Ted.
