Time Stretch Won’t Work A Second Time

Q: I made an 8-bar loop of a Drum track, then sped it up from 100 bpm to 110 bpm.

After I recorded a guitar track, it felt too fast, so I tried to slow everything down to 105

bpm. Spider Jam locked me out of changing the tempo again. Why is that?

A: The Time Stretch feature can only work on one mono track at a time. Since the

Spider Jam Drum track is being processed to match your recorded guitar track, you

can’t re-adjust the tempo of the ‘live’ drums and recorded guitar at the same time. To

change the tempo again, do a Mixdown, a Clear All, then load your Mix to start fresh.

For future reference, the best way to go is to determine your tempo before you record.

Loop Overdub Volume

Q: I like to overdub several harmony guitars to a loop, but when I let it roll for 3 or 4

passes my backing track loses volume. Why is this happening?

A: Your Recorder Overdub Volume is probably set to something less than 100%, so

your volume decreases every time your track loops in Overdub mode. Press the Drums/

Song button twice and navigate to the Recorder Overdub menu item, then press the R

Arrow to select it. Use the wheel to set your Volume to 100% and it won’t decrease.

Quick Capture

Q: Spider Jam’s silkscreen reads Rec+Undo = Quick Capture; why doesn’t this work?

A: To engage Quick Capture, you must ﬁrst step on Undo, then the Record switch.

We’re sorry we didn’t make this clear in the Pilot’s Handbook.

Can’t Overdub To A Time Stretched Recording

Q: I recorded a simple rhythm guitar track, then I did a Time Stretch to slow it down.

When I tried to overdub a lead guitar part, I was locked out of doing so. Why?

A: The Time Stretch setting you applied to your guitar track has ‘claimed’ the DSP

processing, which can only work on one track at a time. Since the Time Stretch is still

active, you must ﬁrst Save your recording at the new tempo, then do a Clear All. At

that point, simply recall your saved recording, then you can overdub guitar as usual.
