      So I started authoring a song, and its “intro” is composed by repeated muted chords.

      I started tempo mapping the song then went on to author the guitar, but I seem to be having a hard time getting these muted chords correctly as they don’t seem to fit into the tempo map, but I’m 100% sure I mapped it correctly, and now I’m confused as to what I should do regarding its intro (and other portions of the song where that “riff” is repeated).

       

      The song in question is:

      Here’s the RPP and Audio:

      Just checked it out.

      By intro, you mean the with “Check one, two” part before the rest of the instruments enter, right?

       

      It looks and sounds fine to me, just 16th notes. The tempo map is correct and the note placement fits for me.

      I added notes to it just to see if it fits, and it does. I don’t see the problem?

        I tried using 16th notes then went on to test it and I don’t think it sounds right, it seems out of sync… Or is it just me?

          Yeah, it’s off. The whole intro for sure, probably the whole song but I didn’t have time to go over it, is in triplets. You can probably fix this in one go simply by quantizing to triplet 8ths (make sure to trim the notes down to 16th in length once you’ve done that, if you quantize for note ends too). The intro already has the correct amount of notes, just mispalced. The part you authored in straight 16ths should reduce nicely to 12 notes per measure simply by quantizing.
