FamiTracker
Hey Gang! I've been using Famitracker for about a week now, and I'm not doing too badly so far since I'm fairly well versed with nanoloop on android.
I'm doing a cover to get to grips with it before I start composing, but I've run into a problem I often had on nanoloop, and there was no obvious remedy for it on that either:
Basically, I slightly mis-timed one note very early in my cover, and now I need a way to push all the notes down equally from that note. Kind of like 'ripple' editing when editing video. Otherwise I'm going to have to cut and paste everything down, which would be extremely slow and painful.
I couldn't find anything in any tutorials about this, so could any kind stranger shed some light on the issue?
It seems to be causing other notes to go out of time when I do this though, do I have to highlight everything that is going to move before I use it? And is there a sort of reverse of this function?
You just have to keep hitting Insert for as long as it takes, until you get your song timed as it should. But if you do something wrong, you can alwaus use CTRL+Z to undo any mistake.
So, if your music will be timed properly after 4 lines, just hit Insert 4 times.

Thanks for all the advice people, much appreciated.
The issue I'm still having though is that when you use the insert function, it only seems to work in that individual frame, causing another discrepancy in timing in the transition to the next frame. Is there a sort of 'global' insert function, that affects the entire column/row?
No. Pushing the Insert button only works on the current channel you're editing. It pushes the data on the cursor row and everything below it down 1 row, much like pressing enter in a word processor. be careful though, you can lose data if it is pushed past the end of the pattern length.
You're going to want to make sure that notes line up from channel to channel, that each musical measure begins at the start of each pattern, and that the notes line up with the highlighted rows.
if you still have problems you can attach your FTM and we will help you out further.
The problems seem to happen in the same channel though; I'm losing notes from frame to frame each time I use insert!
Don't worry though - I've picked a song that changes time signatures so I think I'm going to start again on something simpler. Thanks anyway though! I should be here to stay
