Thumbs up for Importing Tempo Map

Just did quick recording of a random Guitar improvisation, drag to timelime, open Addictive Drums , pick a beat, very nice.
 
Interesting side note if you tell AD to show beats within 10 of the tempo, and sync with project, beat choices jump in and out of the dialog. shows you it works with out opening the temp view.
 
Edit: I may have finally found a drummer I can get along with. Now the bass player...

Mileage varies depending on the source material for the tempo map but it is certainly pretty darn cool! CW have done a great job on the integration.

Before I upgrade (I don't like "early release" versions), can you calculate tempo based on multiple tracks? Like, multi-tracked drums?
 
And as an aside, can we now edit multiple tracks via ARA?

 
Why not just use the tempo map from the kick, the rest of the kit should be in time with it? A drum overhead track would work as well.

Yup, initial results here have been pretty good.  Or, at least inline with what Melodyne detects.   How CW chose to get that tempo map into the project is absolutely great!    What's also neat (from a cursory review) is editing the tempo map in Melodyne first and then dragging the region FX clip to the timeline.   All kinds of interesting things to come...
 

what sorcery is this?   
Where can I read about this?
Is this feature "out" yet?

I can't wait to get back to it. I have a couple tunettes on my drive where I had drummed to an imporved guitar track only to find out that is not quite like jamming with flesh and blood.

Same here...   I have a few minimalistic free-form tunes that could benefit from this feature to more efficiently flesh them out.    In SONAR. 
 

I tried it on a free form guitar track and an instance of a drum vsti.
It tracked along like a good drummer should. - I shook my head in disbelief.
 
Tonight I plan to record a purposely time wavering "Can you play at all" track with maybe even a re-tard at the end. If that works too, Everyone at Cakewalk and Celemony gets the summer off, my treat. 
 
The forum software **** ed out ****.
It did it again! ****edForumSoftware! :-)

Thank you for that really well-done, informative video, Andrew.

One thing, though: It appears blurry throughout. I know sometimes videos take a moment to pull focus on YouTube, but this one never did focus. Is the problem maybe on my end? I was watching via YouTube on my iPad Pro.

Thanks again,
LJ

...So he doesn't repeat the fictional "no one can say anything negative about SONAR" B.S., for the record, his sole point was that Studio One has also had ARA tempo detection for a couple months, and he feels it's better (although he offered no evidence as to why). 

Great...   now my clever "In SONAR" comment is completely meaningless.

Did you try changing it to a higher resolution like 1080p? It was initially set to that for mine and I noticed it was blurry. Changing it to 1080p fixed it.

Andrew, thanks for the reply and the tip. No, I didn't change the resolution (because I just clicked on your link in this thread and it opened and played), but that makes perfect sense and I will try that now.
 
Thanks again,

And then can we throw AudioSnap into the harbor?

AudioSnap does some things very well (like snapping bass or drum hits in a track to the transient markers). I'd be very upset if it ended up in a harbor.

I've been putting off recording one of my songs because I knew that this great feature was coming. It's a song that I want to play freely (no click) throughout.
 
One particular section, the 3rd, slows down dramatically and is played rubato, never the same way twice. Faster, slower, louder, softer, dragging, speeding up, pausing....
 
After that, the tempo speeds up and becomes somewhat regular again, although it will still vary naturally. It's a long song with many sections, but the 3rd is the only really different, irregular one. 
 
My question is, should I split the song before and after (just) this "weirdest" section? Or should I try to drag the whole shebang to the timeline at once? Or should I try to split every different section off and drag each one to the timeline? Should I save (archive) multiple copies and try various splits?
 
Should I use Region FX on the whole song? Maybe on only the weird section? Would that make any sense?
 
Here's what I think keeps confusing me and confounding my plans: The two main tracks will be recorded simultaneously: One is an acoustic guitar that, pardon the expression, never shuts up. The other is the lead voice (I'll be singing at the same time). I'm hoping to add bass, drums, keys, harmony voices, etc., later.
 
The way I'm doing the first tracks doesn't allow for nice, clean breaks to later split at. Something's always ringing or sustaining into the next phrase, it seems, or it doesn't sound natural. That is the point of this whole exercise, anyway, to be able to play in the moment and without needing to consider possible future technical difficulties.
 
But what do I do with the finished tracks when I finally have them, to have the best chance ending up with a good tempo map?
 
So that's my question, and probably the answer is, "Try it and find out." It'll be an adventure, anyway. I guess the best thing I can do is to make sure I save a copy somewhere if I'm lucky enough to get a good take of that long acoustic guitar/vocal track.
 
Thanks if you waded through this. Any ideas would be very welcome!

Thanks very much for the reply, Boydie. What you say makes sense, so I will try to do it the way you suggest.

It was very nice of you to read through that whole post and take the trouble to formulate an answer. Thanks again,

Sigh. I hate learning with videos when simply reading a document is like a bazillion times faster but it looks like I'm going to have to watch this one.
