Tempo manipulations

[Phillishe]

Helllo!

I recorded a midi track without metronome, and now all the notes are completely "out of sync" with the measures by sight, though they sounds... let's say, as intended. OK, but.. is there any easy way to fit it to the barlines whithout changing real durations? By inserting series of tempo changes, maybe - something like "time warp" tool in Cubase?

P.S. Sorry for my poor English

Nope, no easy way to do this.

Your other option is to continue the trend of recording by ear and treat your MIDI the same way you would have treated raw audio. I bet you'll still get a successful song out of it.

The two long-ass ways of doing it--

1. If you know where the notes "should" have been, you'll have to move them note by note. Ick!

2. Render the MIDI as audio first. You'll see the waveform 'bumps' where the keys are pressed and where the sounds fade out, etc. Set your host to the desired tempo. Then superimpose the MIDI clip over top and grab your notes and move them in chunks so that they're in the right 'spots', using the waveform as a visual cue. Almost as painful as option 1.

If you use Ctrl+Alt ( I think that's the right combination) and drag the arrow at the upper right corner of the clip you can stretch or shrink the midi clip and maybe get it close to the grid lines. If you kept a fairly steady tempo while playing this should work.

that or you could just redo the song with a tempo...

Uh-oh... I thought there must be something like "lock SMPTE position"...
Well, anyway, thanks a lot!

BTW, after hard mindworking I came with solution using "auto tempo" feature in conjunction with clip-cutting and stetching (it turned out that it's possible to stretch two or more selected clips an once), but... well, who needs an exact bar positions if there is not note staff editor anyway
