Scook: I could not find a link to the image with the JPG. but IMGUR had a "copy" function. The second set of "empty" images were the inline HTML links they offered. The first two "empty" images were what IMGUR gave as the direct link. What else do I need to do? Thank you, very much !
Gswitz: nothing is locked or frozen: went thru each track and each take.
I guess its worth noting, it is a 5-string banjo part. I cannot play it at full speed (126bpm) so I set the audio snap of my playalong track (that I had mixed many years ago, and decided it needs banjo to drive it forward) to about 150. Then, recorded the banjo at that tempo.
After recording multiple takes, I returned the audiosnap stretch amount on the mix, back to 100%, and dropped the banjo tracks down to approx 70% to match tempo.
I'm weary of messing with this, and will probably attempt to re-record on brand new trax to see how that goes. Even at slow tempo, I'm not good enough to nail it in one take perfectly across the sections, so my plan is to comp it together when I'm done. I've never comped a track before, so new skillz to learn, coming up.
