The song must be in stereo.
Preparation - Setting the start marker and object end
Before opening the Auto Remix Assistant, you should set the start marker at
the position in the song object in the arranger where you want detection to
start. If the song contains a long intro without beats, set the start marker after
the intro. As a rule of thumb, the Auto Remix Assistant should always be "fed"
dance music.
The start marker should be set before a quarter note beat or, better still, briefly
before a beat at the start of a bar.
If the start marker lies before the song object, the object is examined from the
beginning.
If detection is not performed by the end of the song, the object can be
shortened accordingly with the object handle at the end of the object.
Checking the automatic tempo and bar recognition
After Tempo and beat recognition opens, the selected track object will be
analyzed. Following the analysis, the track will be played, and during playback
a metronome corresponding with the computed result will sound; vertical tick
marks visualize the quarter note positions in the wave form display.
The following is indicated:
Position of the start of the measure (one): red lines
Position of the other quarter notes (two, three or four): green lines
Reliably recognized positions: thick lines
Unreliably recognized positions: thin lines
Tapping is indicated by additional blue lines
If the tempo and beat information is already available, then dots above the
display at the corresponding positions will appear. To the left underneath the
waveform display the metronome volume can be adjusted. To the right the
calculated BMP value will appear. If the BPM value is valid, the display will be
green.
If the metronome clicks match the rhythm of the music, the bar starts will then
be determined. If not, you can correct the tempo manually.
Corrections: Manual tempo and onbeat / offbeat setting
If the result is incorrect, you can help the Auto Remix Assistant with a few
mouse clicks on the correction buttons.
