There are two possibilities: On the one hand, the “Tempo correction” list offers
alternative BPM numbers which could also fit with the music. The adjustable
BPM values are detected automatically, and the total number of BPM can
deviate from song to song.
Tap tempo: With difficult audio material we recommend the using tapping
input mode. Either "T" must be pressed, or the "Tap tempo" button must be
clicked in time with the music. While repeatedly tapping the tempo correction
button, one should keep an eye on the color in the BPM display. In the
“unlocked” condition (red) the tapping is not in time with the music. One should
tap until the “locked” condition is displayed. After a short time one hears if the
result is correct via the metronome.
Subsequently, offbeat correction takes place if required. If the detected quarter
notes beats lie around the length of an eighth note (transferred behind the real
positions of the quarter note beats), then one or more alternatives can be
selected from the on beat/off beat correction list.
Set the start of the bar
Start bar correction takes place next. The beat at the start of the bar should
coincide with the high sound of the metronome, or the red line in the wave
form display.
Correction is achieved in one step: If the start of the beat can be heard, then
click on "Tap one" once, or press "T". Alternatively, you can also choose how
many quarter notes the "One" is to be moved back by.
If the start marker is set right before the first beat of a bar, then no correction
is necessary.
Hint: After every adjustment, the metronome and tick mark visualization reacts
with a delay.
Step 3: Use of the BPM and beat recognition
With this last step you determine what is to be done with the material currently
being analyzed. There are three possibilities:
1. You want to generate remix objects from the song (the analyzed material),
2. You want to bring your project tempo into line with the tempo of the song or
vice versa,
