Perfect Timing

http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2012/07/when-the-beat-goes-off/

The above is a link to an article published in the Harvard Gazette regarding research into musical timing and the human brain. Human beings never play music perfectly in time, but it turns out the errors we make may follow a fractal pattern, which has implications for how musicians, recording engineers and producers use time correction. The errors aren’t random, so “humanize” functions used in drum machines and time correction software that are based on inserting random variations from perfect timing may actually be making things worse.

I recently had the pleasure of a six day all-analog session with Wild Highways (Cody Dyck) at the Pines, a lovely studio in Montreal run by Dave Bryant.
