Subject:Export Tempo Changes???? Posted by: bog Date:9/12/2003 11:03:27 AM Before I get into my question, I like to tell y'all who might not know, a much faster way to tempo match to prerecorded "drifting tempo" material. This is a different way then what is explained in the "knowledge base"... Bring your audio file in as one-shot. I like to bring in a drum related track first, so I can clearly see the transients. Do NOT turn snapping off. Place a hit marker near the first beat of the song. To fine tune the marker so it better aligns, just click and drag while holding down the shift key to override the snap. zooming in and out using the up/down arrow keys can make extremely accurate placement EXTREMELY fast. Now, to align this marker to the grid, simply hold down the ALT key and click and drag the marker. It will snap to the grid and adjust tempo automatically. Click the marker once in case your cursor isn't there, and hit "t" to make a new tempo marker, followed by "return" and now just move that hit marker to the next beat or transient that you want to align. I've found that this method can be twice as fast as going about it the other way. Much less clicking about and such... -------------------------------------- Ok, and now my question. How do I use these marvelously accurate tempo changes in other programs such as logic audio!? I absolutely love acid for tempo matching and loop-based stuff, but other then that, I need logic most of the time and trying to accurately tempo match in logic is a much MUCH more time-consuming task. (it's much less accurate anyways) Is there a way to export the tempo list, or copy it over somehow. I'm going crazy about this and have been demoing tons and tons of programs for the past 6 months, just trying to find an easy and accurate way to tempo match, but have found ACID can do it the best. But what good is that if I can't use those tempo changes in my beloved LOGIC? The closest I've gotten to this is: after creating my tempo map, Just throw a loop of a "tick" sound and have it play throughout the song on each beat or measure, then export just that track (the new "click" track) and import that in to Logic. Then use logic's audio to midi converter and have it trace each "click", then, on the newly created midi track, use that command - oh geez, my brain is fried, I forgot what the command is called,,, but it'll adjust the tempo so that each midi note plays at the beginning of each measure".... so yeah, if anyone has a better/faster way then that, I'd be EXTREMELY appreciated. thanks.
