Yeah I know about basic rhythm, like 1/16 notes, measures etc.

But the DAW interface doesn't seem to relate to those. There is a grid and a series of numbers at the top, like a graph, but I don't know what those numbers are. Fractions of a second? It doesn't relate to "parts of a measure", like 16th notes.

I know about metronome timing like 60bpm etc. but again, I'm having trouble relating this to the grid.

I'm not sure about LE, but in Cubase SX, you can select different measurements for your project. Try right clicking where the "ruler" is, and see if you can choose bars and beats, or something like that.

Virtually all my stuff is MIDI based, so usually bars and beats is the best unit of measurement for me. But I also do work to film, and for that I need hours, minutes, seconds and frames. I can either set up two rulers on the time line, or switch between them. I would think you could do that in LE too.

Yes, you can. I should've included that with my post. Oops!

Lightbulb Re: What is MIDI?

Hello everybody!
I enjoyed Richiebee's midi production and it moved me to do some more work myself with the midi controllers and stuff...I'm hoping that this little production will inspire someone as Richiee's work got me moving....This was done in Sonar 4 rewired with Reason 2.5.....Peace!
