Make project tempo follow kick drum

[Matt Rayner]

Hi!
My son's band want me to mix one of their live recordings.
The tempo varies from about 170 - 210bmp.
Luckily it's all very tight and sounds good, and I've got a clear recording of the kick.
Can I make the Time Ruler and Gridlines follow it?
Cheers

There's a few different ways to accomplish this. The easiest way is if you have Melodyne, then you can drag to the time ruler to extract the tempo. Beyond that you can use AudioSnap's "Set Project from Clip"

Or (my preference), do it manually with Set Measure/Beat At Now - more flexible, more precise, and worth the time to get it exactly right.

Thanks for the replies.

Manually editing the clip map gets dead on the money too, but more than one way to crack that nut.

Or as I always say:  More than one way to skin . . .  (never mind).
