Default Re: Help with fixing singer's timing problems

Beat detective? depends upon his phrasing. Is there any instrumentation at all? If so use the beat detective.

Personally I detest click tracks. I'll do a run through to see where the music is going to ebb and flow, and I've noticed that I'll fluctuate about 2 to 6 bpm in either direction depending upon mood of the song at a given moment. I'll build the instrumentation around the slight tempo changes in that interpretation. If it's too rigid to a click IMO it will sound artificial.

But if this guy is all over the map, as in really cutting rests short (very common in people who don't have good timing or just see a rest as a waste of time), I'd use EA on his track, build the instrumentation around it, then have him re-record the vox.
