Great you dove in and gathered up players ! The personnel seem solid enough, nobody strikes me as really dragging things down. That in and of itself can be hard to find, sometimes.

Is the tempo on Cantaloupe really as you played it ? Or did recording slow it down ?

If the former, did you purposely do it to keep everyone from falling apart ?

(not at all being a wiseguy...just curious).

My suggestion, next time take it up a good 8 ticks if you folks can hang with that.

Nice start, all in all....

i think we just slowed down by accident, we do that sometimes. sometimes accidentally rush too xd

You can ask drummer if it is ok to put a click track (metronome) either in his earbud or just on a phone or laptop speaker....

It wasn't the slowing down I was referring to...the tune tempo began too slow.

Next time count it off faster, vicinity of maybe 100-102bpm.

You folks were at about 90
