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.
Automatic Tempo Recognition
When the Auto Remix Assistant is launched, the selected song object is
analyzed and played back. A metronome begins to click according to the
result and lines visualize the positions of the quarter notes found in the
wave-shaped display.
The following cases are differentiated:
 Position of the start of a measure (the one): red line.
 Position of the other quarter notes (the two, three, and four): green lines.
 Reliably recognized positions: thick lines.
 Unreliably recognized positions: thin lines.
 When tapped, blue lines appear.
If the tact and tempo information is already present, points are indicated
above the display at the appropriate positions. The metronome volume can
be regulated below and to the left of the wave-shaped display. To the right,
the BPM value is indicated. If a valid BPM value was found, it is displayed in
green.
If the metronome clicks in time with the music, the measure start is correct.
If not, you can correct the tempo manually.

If the result is incorrect, you can help the Auto Remix Assistant with a few
mouse clicks on the correction buttons.
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
