To correct the metronome speed and any timeshift that may occur between the
metronome clicks you can use the tempo correction as well as the "Tap tempo"
button:
Tempo correction: The Remix Agent offers various speed settings. The most probable
tempo detected by the Remix Agent is preset. If this tempo isn't correct, you can
choose another one from the list. The next time you play back the song it should be in
sync with the metronome.
On/Off beat correction: Now it may happen that the tempo is right, but the beats
have been displaced. "On/off beat correction" provides a number of alternatives for
moving the beats according to the complexity of the rhythm. Try out various
alternatives until the metronome clicks are in sync with the beat.
Tap tempo: Alternatively, click rhythmically on the "Tap tempo" button or press the
"T" key. Additional blue lines are displayed in the wave display. After at least four
taps, the Remix Agent attempts to select the correct tempo from the list in "Tempo
correction". The display next to the "Tap tempo" button displays the current status.
Keep tapping until the red display showing "Unlocked" changes to the green "Locked"
setting.
Use the "0" key to manually set the quarter beats while the music plays. Surrounding
markers will automatically be removed to ensure that the set tempo remains intact.
You can move the markers with the mouse. If you hold down the "Ctrl" key
simultaneously, the subsequent markers are also moved.
If the metronome clicks now correspond with the music, you can continue to the next
step.
Step 3: Determining the start of a bar:
Next you can set the time signature. The default setting is 4/4 but you can adjust this
if necessary. The beat at the start of the bar should coincide with the high sound of
the metronome, or the red line in the waveform display.
It can now be corrected in one step: If the start of the bar can be heard, click on "Tap
One" once using the mouse or press the"T" key on the keyboard.
Alternatively, select how many quarter notes the "One" is to be moved back.
Use the "0" key to manually tap the position of the beginnings of the bars during
playback. This allows you to correct the beginnings of the bars in longer sections.
Continue to the last step if the starts of the bars are now correct.
