 what if you freeze the MIDI track before applying the tempo map

Freezing MIDI information in any way does not bound it to the absolute time...

By freezing the synth track audio is generated instead, with transients replacing MIDI note-ons.  I was thinking that if the audio is converted back to MIDI after the tempo map was generated, it'd be a direct transient to note-on generation in the opposite direction as the freeze, so those events would be at their original location in absolute time.    Or maybe I'm over-thinking things....  

That is the way which was discussed in another thread, along with manual adjusting MIDI events (with help of Fit to time and other tricks). But all that is not accurate and requires quite some work (MIDI -> AUDIO -> MIDI works well with "tone generator" synth only).

Can you link us to this thread you speak of Azslow3?

That is almost a duplication of this thread
