Tempo Change without affecting MIDI -ACID Product Family

Subject:Tempo Change without affecting MIDI Posted by: James Young Date:1/13/2009 7:37:54 AM I want to import or record midi that has no timing information, or in other words not played to a click or metronome, then be able to insert tempo changes to match the performance so that additional midi or audio loops will line up with the original free-flowing midi. I DO NOT want to the modify the original midi in any way whatsoever! Is there any way to to do this? I see one-shot audio will not take tempo changes and I could convert the midi into this then apply tempo changes, but I'd rather be able to edit the original midi after the tempo gets figured out. Thanks
Subject:RE: Tempo Change without affecting MIDI Reply by: pwppch Date:1/13/2009 8:05:50 AM ACID does not directly support Rubato timing/tempo. There is always a tempo. There is no easy alternative to permit this type of workflow/approach. It has been discussed in the past. I will make sure we revisit the topic. Peter

Thanks for your support
