I have not fucked with this in Pro Tools...

But damnit it is SO fucking easy to do a custom tempo track in cubase (in instances when the drummer is less than great and thus making it easier to program that shit). I FUCKING LOVE IT.


I would love to see if it's as easy in pro tools though, how do you make a tempo track in cubase while aligning the tempo changes to transients?

What??
could it be that you sometimes confused PT and CUB in your post?

"it's so easy in Cubase...does it work in PT...how do you make it in Cubase?"

or perhaps I just didn't understand your question.

if you wanna know how to do it in PT:
Beat Detective ("extract"...)
in Cubase I usually did it by hand...just clicked (or ctrl clicked or something...dunno atm) on the transient in timewarp-mode

You mean like with the Time Warp tool in Cubase?

Yes, I love this tool. I conformed a tempo to some shitty drums 6 mins long in 15 mins!


I was wondering if the equivalent existed in pro tools.

BTW: I love pro tools, this thread is not to bash pro tools in any way.

Urm well in theory pro tools could do it a lot quicker. If beat detective behaves itself nicely that is

So you have to rely on beat detective to do what I just described?

Well, that kind of sucks.

why? other than the fact you have pay for the toolkit ofc

Select the drum tracks, open up beat detective, extract tempo. Whats the problem?

It's just a bummer because that doesn't seem nearly as fast as dragging and lining up the timeline with the drum transients visually. I sort of have the feeling it's not as accurate either.

Like I said guys I absolutely LOVE pro tools and was really hoping the method was similar.
