Hide the metronome!
« on: February 12, 2020, 05:16:09 PM »
Oi, minds out of the gutter! I want the band to make Larry ditch the metronome for their next recording session and see what happens. Worst case scenario his timing will be 0.00001 second out of whack. But I'm interested to hear how the others react and play.
