In Dulci Jubilo x Fairytale of New York

Creations & Ideas
1

Beginner coder klaxon! Belated Christmas track. The idea is it starts with In Dulci Jubilo then Fairytale of New York elements come in later, by uncommenting ‘stop’. However the sync doesn’t work - help appreciated! It has a 6/8 bar against a 3/4 bar. Actually sounds surprisingly OK if they don’t sync, but would like to know how to fix it.

#Christmas remix: In Dulci Jubilo (trad) x Fairytale of New York (Finer, Macgowan), arr J Horne.
#This has a 6/8 against a 3/4 bar and uses 'stop' to control the later loops.
#Sync not working yet
#Ignore :jungle; bits at the top from sampler experiments
