Yes, I have it on Follow Host.

I will definitely try a few of the grooves. Some are closer to the mark than others, that’s for sure.

One thing I noticed, when I imported my guitar track into the standalone EZD3 it set the BPM at 96 (which is a lot closer to the songs BPM) but when I import the guitar into EZD3 in Pro Tools the BPM is 120

Jordan, I think you might be right. The beat is not really right. So, would that mean because the transients in the guitar track are clear enough that EZD3 can’t “lock on” to the timing of the guitar?

I’m able to drag a Garageband track from my desktop into EZD3 when it is in standalone. However, the drum tracks that EZD3 suggest do not match up with the guitar track that I’ve imported. I’m not dragging a Pro Tools track into Bandmate.

I am not able to import that same track into EZD3 when I have set EZD3 up on a stereo audio track in Pro Tools. I am only able to import a track via the “Select File” option in Bandmate (which is fine as I think, as you said, Pro Tools won’t allow me to drag into Bandmate). However, the same thing happens with the drum track not sitting very well with the guitar track. The sBandmate suggested drum tracks are completely out of time with my guitar track

Sorry Mick, I was typing when you replied.

No, my instrument track is audio and not MIDI. I think you are right in saying that Pro Tools won’t allow me to drag into EZD3

I recorded an acoustic guitar into Garageband (no metronome) and then sent that file to myself which I then converted to a wav. file. I then imported it into Pro Tools through the Select File option in EZD3. There are no preamps or pedals. Are you saying that I have to record using a click track in order for Bandmate to properly work? If that’s the case then I’m Ok with that as I have used click tracks a lot in the past. I don’t want to try and force Bandmate to do something it can’t. The way I work is that if I have an idea on the guitar then I record it roughly in to Garageband just so I can keep it. I was hoping I might be able to import that track into Bandmate and let Bandmate add a drum track which might then form the basis of a demo which I can refine later. But, if that’s not possible then I will use a click track
