Thanks for the advice, but I couldn't get the locking method to change anything, let me explain again what I'm doing..
Lets say I grab an instrumental from the internet, without touching the tempo in bandlab (DEFAULT 120), I go and record 3 verses, Now I should of set the tempo prehand, I know this, but I like to not have to even worry about it. Then, when I decide, "okay this is a good song lets set it up" I like to go and set the tempo so the gridlines are on beat according to the instrumental, in pro tools this would work fine, but in band lab once I do this.. something changes and all the verses are now in a completely different spot.
Can you advise once more on how I could do this, if possible? Thank you.
EDIT: I found it thanks to your advice on where to look, "timebase: absolute"
TY!
