has been merged into master.<br></span></div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1488144207857_175146">the rework focuses mainly on matching tempo to existing material.<br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1488144207857_175147"><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1488144207857_175148">not many people require this sort of workflow, so this is a plea<br>to all available testers to help find bugs and crashes.<br><br>Main Change:<br><br>tempo markers now have a start and an end rate with common note type.<br></span></div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">when a new tempo is added, altering it's start tempo<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">(e.g. by shift-dragging the blue tempo curve) will no longer cause it to move.<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">Technique (one of many possible ones):<br><br>tempo matching to a 'free time' recording requires an initial stretch of constant tempo.<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">the tempo is most easily adjusted by shift-dragging the blue tempo curve or the BBT ruler.<br>attempt to match the tempo by doing this until the tempo lines match the material<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">for as long a distance as possible.<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">assuming that this initial one doesn't match the whole recording, the last 'good' alignment between<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">the click and the recording is marked with a new tempo (ctrl-click on the blue tempo curve).<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">there are now two choices, depending on the material:<br><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">1) there is a sudden change to a new tempo<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">- shift-drag the blue tempo curve (the more distance you have between the new mark<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"> and the mouse, the better) until the recorded tempo matches the new section.<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"> observe that the tempo point changes colour to indicate a discontinuity between the end<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"> of one section and the beginning of the next.<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">2) the tempo drifts up or down from the currently set tempo<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">- guess (or listen to) the duration of this drift and place a new tempo mark on the BBT line<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"> corresponding to your guess. when in doubt use two bars of distance.<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">- shift-drag the new mark until its BBT position aligns with the recording. this will set the <br> end tempo of the previous mark.<br> if this doesn't match all the way to the next mark, align as much distance as possible<br> and place a new mark (shift click) a the last 'good' spot.<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"> you may now shift-drag the last mark (the wrong guess one) to align the rest of the section.<br></span></div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"> match the tempo of the last stretch of music in the usual way (shift drag the tempo curve).<br><br></span></div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"> repeat.<br></span><div><div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"> control-dragging a tempo copies it, so this is the usual way to return to a known tempo (click-based recording).<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"><br>Other tools:<br><br>if a ramp is required to some next tempo, right click and select 'Ramp to Next'.<br><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">to reset a tempo to constant, right click and select 'Set Constant'.<br><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">the start/end tempi may be adjusted by grabbing a mark with no modifiers pressed,<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">then holding shift or ctrl-shift while vertical dragging.<br><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">shift-control-drag on the blue tempo curve (if there are a few surrounding tempi) does something interesting.<br><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">thanks in advance for your bug reports :)<br><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">Nick<br></span></div></div></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>Ardour-Users mailing
