    Quite a Process !! We just began. Place beatmarkers on the beat with Cubase or Reaper. Now we are ready to get a smpte cuelist for lights in Grandma 2 with plug in software only for Reaper. It is two way communication . Remove a marker in Reaper will remove SMPTE cue in GrandMA2.

    You now have another Ausse subscriber. Many thanks Maarten - clear, concise and exactly what I need. I accompany my daughter's singing on piano and we're about to do some recording work, so now I can add some "feel" with confidence that I can work with the tracks later, not being a Cubase guru. Most of my piano will be MIDI (RD800) and I saw from another comment that things work the same way for MIDI as they do for waves. I know how much work goes into making videos like these and your efforts are very much appreciated. Big thank you from Sydney - Dave

    Great video, thanks. We often recreate backing tracks for covers but use the original artist`s vocal stems. The original tracks often have oscillating tempo either because no click track was used or because of lack of precision in the original analogue gear. We've been syncing manually but with a far messier method than this.

    I have Cubase 13. I used time warp to manually align all the downbeat to beginnings of measures. There were a few places where I wan't to add a point in the middle of a measure to better align a quarter note. Instead of inserting a new point though, the one at the beginning of the measure jumps to that point and make it incorrectly the beginning of the measure to I have to undo. The other thing was that when I did a set definition from tempo and then set a new tempo, there was a measure that had been a retard and now was metronomic, but some of the notes in the measure sped up and don't align to the subdivisions. When I try to adjust - again I can't insert a new one, and now if I try to move the one at the beginning of a measure, as it is a little off, instead it stretches the measure, keeping the downbeat still off the measure start.

      @PowerJazzEnsemble-cw2xi Місяць тому

      @@LanewoodStudios thanks for replying. this is 44.1K. I find I can't even align a simple retard in a measure so that the subdivisions of the measures align with the notes. I can add points in tempo track under the important notes, and that creates points above when viewed in warp mode, but if I try to move a point, then everythings screws up and the one that marked the beginning of the measure jumps. If I try to add warp points in the measure, it doesn't add, the point marking the measure moves there and is no longer at the beginning of the next measure.

      Not sure that I understand your question. Cubase will stretch the audio in whatever direction to stay on the set tempo. Obviously if it needs to stretch a lot, you will start hearing artefacts.
      In your example, if you need to "make the file longer" this equates to setting a lower tempo in the project.

    What about this scenario: Say you have a recording of a live band (that didn't play to a metronome) divided into 4 stems (vocals, bass, drums, keys), if i want to warp them all to the same tempo simaltaenously, how would i do that?
    Do i tempo detect the drums ONLY and then "set definition from tempo" for all 4 files to the tempo that the drum registered? Or do i need to tempo detect every individual part and THEN hit "Set definition from tempo"? Or some other way?
    (in this example the band is reasonably in time, no major repairs needed. The purpose is to set a tempo in order to be able to overdub additional instruments over the top of the band)

    • @LanewoodStudios
      @LanewoodStudios  2 роки тому +2

      Hmm, very interesting question which I've never tried myself. But what I imagine could work: Tempo detect with one track, and then select all tracks and do 'set definition from tempo'. I think that will do the trick.
      If that gives problems with the other tracks, what you could also try is copy/pasting the warp markers from the tempo detection track to all the other tracks before setting the tempo definition. You do this copy/paste of warp markers since Cubase 12 😀.

      You could adjust the MIDI tempo points in the tempo map by selecting them all and dragging them down a bit. You could also use [Process Tempo] in the Tempo Editor by increasing the New End position. All tempo map points would decrease according to the "Equivalent Tempo Scaling" displayed. Note though that the slowing process would affect only MIDI-based tracks. Unless any audio present could be back-synchronised to the changed tempo map by changing audio track(s) to Musical Mode?

      I can then slow the song down without changing the pitch and the subtle variations in tempo are preserved.

    Another great tutorial Maarten. Thank you for not sugar coating the fact that CB has yet to address the detection bug issue. Looking forward to your upcoming presentations. Have a safe and wonderful day / weekend! Peter

    Really helpful. I need to fix the tempo on a number of mono audio tracks. Not sure how to apply this to my problem, but at least this is a tool to assist me.
