Default Compas Analysis, Loops

While I'm at it, here's a link to the (basic chording) Compas Analysis on my website with a number of (.wav) loops you can import into Ableton Live and change tempo without changing pitch.

(set the time signature to 3/4 or 4/4 depending - don't set it to 6/8 even if that is the Flamenco phrasing, since the compas always resolves to 3/4 one way or the other)

From those, you can create your own variations (the palmas were sampled from Flamenco videos - commercially available sound samples of hand clapping sound like 12 drunks in a bar....

If you want to learn Flamenco, this approach is WAY more important than noodling around with, uh, Flamenco "pieces". TRUST me...
