Cheers for the feedback. I don't remotely have the feel of the original, I know that and I'm working on the 'bounce' of it, I lose most of that when the red light comes on, annoying because i don't suffer the same with drums.

My process is in Logic Pro, I cycle a 2 or 4 bar loop and try and nail the pattern, I do that for the major grooves. Then I go back and look at the 'widdly bits' and loop over those. Lastly I loop over the section changes because hitting the next groove without a wobble whilst playing the passing tones makes me stumble.

That clever human said it best: amateurs practise till they get it right, professionals practise till they don't get it wrong

Seems you are working at the other extreme of trying to perfect it in micro amounts. If you were to apply the *doing it in slightly larger sections* process, then the feel will develop a lot more easily. It will be near impossible to get a groove going doing it in such tiny chunks. Maybe forget doing the actual recording process for the moment might take the pressure off?. Maybe someone else might come along to give better advice though ! 👍

Yeh, I think I'm a bit plagued by being a drummer, most of my stuff DOES loop every two bars It's a time period that makes sense, I get a bit 'lost' in a 12 bar phrase of where it's up to, or it feels like forever till the 'start' comes around again.

Thanks for the advice, it's certainly something to try. I won't know what works till I give it a go.

The recording is because I'm shy and scared and if I wait till I'm 'ready' then I'll never do it ever.
