I thought I would give an update . :p
Well this weekend was fun . My daughter played Shekere on the 5th note of the bell 3-2 rumba clave while I mixed it with a nice Guaguanco . It helped to keep things tight I burned to CD all the files and payed through my Home system , It was great to have slower speeds to start with then moved to 150bpm and things started to rock . I strongly recomend anyone wanting to work on there timing download these files .

Thanks for your effort Joeseph . much appreciated .

Suave

For those who may be interested...

I updated the Ipod Clave Metronome Files

1) I grouped all individual files into zipped up folders, so you can download each group of files in a batch. Will make it a lot easier to download all files. I had to break zip files into 2 parts (e.g. 2-3 Rumba Clave Part1.Zip / Part2.Zip) in order to get them under 5MB upload limits. Each grouping of files contains beats from 100-250 BPM.

2) I re-rendered them at a much smaller sampling rate, because they are only simple sound files, and there is no great complexity of sound that must be portrayed.

3) Smaller files take up less space so I could put more of them on the Conga Club site, as well as taking up less space on your hard-drive / Ipod

4) I also added a Short Bell Pattern at incremental speeds 80-220 BPM

5) I changed sounds of clave pattern to actual clave sticks, rather than cowbell.

6) I'll be throwing in an Abacua pattern when I get to it, just check back at Conga Club.

Files can be found here

I just submitted as well. i sure hope im cool enough...

This sounds really helpful.

For those who have not heard him play... this will be some nice clave, no doubt.

One day Pili... we will call you a master, Im quite sure of that. and please spare us the humble reply about you just being a student etc... :laugh:

re Trevino's name... man i butchered the spelling of that one... sorry brother Tre.. :D I must have had a few beers...

But Pili, whats up with the word 'cogitating'? ??? ... been cogitating on it all day, and cant figure out what the word means...

Just razzing, as you are yet to obtain said master status, and i can still get away with it!!

Thanks for the help, as always,

Tony
