markers. This way you can synchronize the bar grid, musical grid,
and the corresponding MIDI data with available audio material.
Example: The drummer has recorded a track using a metronome,
but has deliberately not hit important beginnings of a bar precisely.
The musical grid is adapted to keep the groove within this
performance. By placing a bar position marker, the project beat of
“20”, including the beginning of the chorus, is moved exactly to the
first beat of the 20th bar played by the drummer.
This practical example shows that the bar position markers are used
to combine the audio-based sample/time position (or SMPTE) with
the musical bar position by means of defined support points. This
allows for easy editing of projects with changing musical tempo when
the musical grid is edited in the actual time course (e.g. bar 20
should begin a this point in time!).
A tempo marker is different in that it defines a clear command: Faster
(or slower) from here. A bar position marker, however, defines the
tempo indirectly by adjusting the tempo before the marker in such a
manner that the desired musical position (“beat 20”) is met precisely
at the marker position.
The grid, the grid display, the metronome and the events in the MIDI
editor are automatically adjusted according to the changed musical
tempo.
Note: Bar position markers immediately following a tempo marker
always create a tempo run. Instead of a tempo jump, a bar position
marker is used to set a tempo run if there is a bar position marker
immediately before the tempo marker. As the tempo before the bar
position marker has already been defined, the adjustment of the
musical position has to be carried out by decreasing or increasing the
tempo to such an extent that the required bar position meets the
required time position at the bar position marker.
