So it took me about 2 hours but I feel like I know beat detective inside and out now following James' workflow he outlined in the "I love PT" thread. The only problem I am running into is that it is not identifying my selections correctly. I am selecting from the first transient to the beginning of the first transient in the next section but if say both of those hits are a tiny bit early, Pro Tools identifies the selection as one bar earlier. Is it normal workflow to have to manually enter what the proper bar/beat selection should be or am I making my selections incorrectly? It's not really slowing me down at all but sometimes I do get the "selection appears incorrect, please enter the correct bar/beat locations or capture the selection" error which was throwing me off. I discovered that if I just hit analyze again after that error though it will analyze my transients and doesn't bother giving me the error again so it's no big deal.
So far I am getting through relatively complex metal songs in about 2 hours and they sound fantastic when completed, Beat Detective is great!
