it usually reffers to speeding up or slowing down (among other things) recorded audio samples to be synchronized properly with a track.

its common to record a guitar or something, and then when you insert it in your track, it doesnt match up exactly with the music. you then have to go into the complicated process of time correction. I dont know all the details, but appearently it involves alot of work.

Watch out for BTs new 300 page book on it coming out in the near future.

lol that's what I asked you ! I read that BT is writing about about it I wanted to know what time correction is ! Thanks for explain it
By the way have you heard emotional technology ? I think it rocks

I will try to explain it to you very easily why it is done and why.

When you use MIDI or even play by your own hand, notes get played either a tad quicker or a tad later than expected. When this happens, it is called drift. When you have a song, you want the beat to hit on the first 1/16th every time, not the 1.01/16th or the .98/16th. Time correction maps these drifted sounds (almost always sounds) onto a grid that makes everything timed exactly right. BT spends a lot of time doing this and I do it to an extent in my tracks too.

Depending on your equipment, you may (or may not) have to do time correction.

If you havnt read this already, I suggest you do.

There is alittle info on time correcting in there, plus a lot of other good stuff.

I have heard emotional technology, and I do like afew of the trancier tracks on it, but I find myself disappointed by the amount of rock on it. And they even left off Love in the Time of Theives which is my favorite new BT track (I think know their labeling it Beber and Tamra though).
