Thanks, Karl. I'm using it the other way around, actually.
I had a client in and he had a hard time playing to a click, so I recorded him playing guitar/singing without one and now I'm trying to line a midi drum part up with his performance.
I'm not lining up every beat, but I'm trying to make sure that his strong guitar strums have beat markers lined up with their transient markers and sometimes those accents are on the off beat, hence why I was hoping for 1/8 note beat markers.
Anyway, the workaround I figured out was doubling the average clip tempo so that 1/8 notes are seen as 1/4 notes.
