Hi,

 

I'm trying to add 4 beats before the start of a song so I can add clicks before the song starts playing. What is the correct way to do that?

 

What I did:

 

[*] Added four beats of silence. This works but there are not four measures added in EOF

[*] Tried padding instead of adding, but it moves the beats and the first beat is no longer synced to the fist beat of the song

[*] Tried adding beats, hoping that the first beat would move to the left, but that's not the result I got.

 

What I'm looking for: My song currently has 87 measures. I want it to have 88, so I can add 4 clicks at the beginning of the song.

 

Thanks!

Adding four beats generally does what you're looking for. Be aware that the third party stream copy option (using a program called OggCat) doesn't always work, so you may have to use the re-encode option when adding leading silence (which I don't really ever see fail to work).

 

If something isn't working, I'll need files (audio, .eof project) so I can test with your files specifically.

Once you have added the leading silence, click "beat" at the top. On the drop down menu, click "push offset back." Do that four times for four beats. 

Thanks for the reply, I'll test this out!
