Alright, will do! I will be able to upload it later tonight after my classes end and I get my other work done. I look forward to feedback (this is exciting:-))

That's a nice offer, although the project is due tomorrow at 4 and I am unsure as to whether any feedback would make it back in time for me to make changes, since it is not quite finished. Although, I was able to do it! Everything matches up pretty well and I was able to re-create my jam sessions through the programming tools. I have the basic Garageband so I was limited to only one Rock Kit--I'm aware that other installments have a wide arrangement of different sounding kits. Even still, I'm happy with how it came out and all I have to do now is put the four MP3 files together to make my medley! Thanks for all the help you guys, I'm happy I made an account to participate in these forums. If I can get it so the medley can be downloaded and listened to I'll be sure to do that.

I totally agree, I just don't have the kind of time I think I need to really accomplish what I want to, given how busy my course load is as of right now. But ya know what--I'll give it another couple of days. If I really can't get this to work and the whole tempo issue drives me nuts, then I'll do something different.

Well darn, here I thought I was going to have a great deal of fun with it. I would record myself through my electric kit, but the assignment for my class is strictly to use the software... I guess if it's going to be this complicated, and since this class isn't even my major or anything I'm thinking I should scrap the idea. If only I could re-create the songs on Garageband. That would make this a whole lot easier. Well, in any case, thanks for being so helpful everybody!

Shoot, guys. I don't know what happened, but I'm 8 measures in (finally found the correct tempo) and right at beat 1 of measure 9 something happens and my drum track is suddenly out of time... Am I missing something? Why is it completely synced up for eight measures and then suddenly messes up?

Ah, I gotcha. Thanks guys!

So there is no particular program which allows one to find the tempo of any given song?

Hey everybody, This is my first post, but I have been coming here for quite some time--the music is amazing! Now, I could really use some help involving a project I want to begin working on for a class I am taking. I have to make a remix and the Professor has given me the greenlight for adding my own drum track to an 8-bit medley. We are using GarageBand for the project. My problem is finding the tempo to certain VG themes. I need to program the drum track in GarageBand, but I need the tempo of the sample so my drums will line up correctly. I'm a drummer and hope to program the beats I play while jamming out on my acoutstic kit to these awesome 8bit tracks. Can anybody help me along or provide any guidance? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
