Hi,

Does anyone know if its possible to have tempo changes assigned to or hitting at the exact same time as markers in the arrange window?

Thanks,
Shaun

at the very bottom of the screen open the master track and you can draw in tempo changes.

stop the track , set the tempo in the tempo box, press record then play. stop and look at the envelope ... preciseness.

you will have to delete the point where you stopped recording though, because it will jump back to the original tempo there.

it's not ideal, but it is accurate

I will say that not being able to type in the values for automation points makes this part a ROYAL FUCKING PAIN IN THE ASS because a lot of tempos don't fall exactly where you want (yes, even with holding down the CRTL button and clicking to get smaller increments at the highest track height). And often times, I'm fidgeting around to get that exact tempo because even if off by x.01 then the warping can affect the sound. This should be a really simple right-click on edit point and select Edit Value command where you can key in the edit point value exactly.

Another great reason to add "envelope point snap to grid" as well. More than any other automation envelope, I think the tempo envelope is the one that requires the most precision. :roll:

That doesn't seem to work in Live 8b23. Does anyone know if this is really supposed to work?

Do I have to have something in particular selected for this to work?

The lack of a way to set an exact tempo is very problematic.

ya this has been a big ass pain for me too.
i never thought of the stop track thing.. i'll have to try that.

what i always do is zoom in line up the tempo to a marker zoom in more fix it zoom in more.... until i get all the way in.... big big butt pain.
