Good AudioSnap experience today

Hi folks,
Just wanted to share a quick "win" that I had today with Sonar. I've frequently not been the biggest fan of AudioSnap, but it worked well today. I'm recording a band right now that has one song that is both not played to a click and has a couple of tempo changes. I wanted to get a click track just to help out some of the other performers that have some entrances that are "in space". The drummer has recorded his part with an e-kit, so what I have for drums is just a MIDI track. Here's what I did:
 
First, solo'd out the kick, snare, and hat of the MIDI drum track and bounced to an audio track through a drum softsynth to use as a guide track. Then divided that up into clips for each of the different tempos. Once that was done, I enabled AudioSnap on that guide track and edited each clip map so the beats were correct. After that, just did an "extract tempo" from AudioSnap for each of the different clips, et voila, click track done. Tempo lined up and all the audio and MIDI still in sync. Gotta say, it was kinda awesome.
 
Big thanks to Karl Rose (FastBikerBoy) for his Youtube videos on editing the clip map in AudioSnap. It was a giant help.
 
Thought I'd post this for posterity in case anyone else was trying to extract timing from a MIDI track and wanted to try it that way.
