Feature request - Better tempo tools
Hi everybody,
I've had Sonar for a few years - starting with X1 and now I have X3. Generally speaking, I think it's pretty awesome - love the bundled fx and add-ons, like the workspace, the performance has been great for me, etc. However, I haven't really been using it much lately because I've been doing my music-for-picture work in DP. Now that the video engine has been revamped in X3, I can seriously consider doing some of my music for picture work in Sonar.
However, the one thing holding me back now is the tempo/timeline tools in Sonar. It's still pretty tough to do things like adjust tempos and beats to match a new version I receive of a picture from an editor, or get my beats to really, really hit the edits by tweaking them just a little one at a time. I know I can "Set measure/beat at now", but that is pretty cumbersome if there are a lot of changes. I'd be thrilled if Sonar had something like DP's "Adjust Beats" functionality. I can do things like move one beat without affecting any of the others, or move one measure and set the tempo for all the following. It's enormously handy and I really hope the bakers consider adding something like it in the next release. I realize that's probably an X4-ish request, as there'd be some pretty significant new coding required, but I think it'd be worth the investment - not just for music-for-pix, either.
Please consider!
Thanks,
Mike
