Question

Really dislike the tempo tools & mapping in Studio One.

Using Melodyne, embedding tempo info into stems...

Getting WAV's to warp with the grid...

I have no bright suggestions about how to do it differently, nor a clear use-case for you to analyse.

I just don't where it is now and I want something 'easier'.

I also found the learning curve with tempo detection and warping quite long.
 

I mentioned this on Facebook, and anecdotally I felt that  MODS and evangelists started picking a fight with me, telling me to watch YouTube videos... this might not actually be fair representation of how they replied and just my biases speaker - I'm more than capable to watching a YouTube video and reading a Wiki... and I still don't like the tempo mapping, detection...

Answer 1

I think a quite simple use case scenario is recording a live performance. This could be e.g. a band recording a gig or a rehearsal with no click and tempo changes. in my case a band with E-Drums, Bass, Guitar and Voice. As a result you have a set of tracks without any relation to the set tempo, actually no tempo information at all.

If you want to start correct any timing related issue you can only do it by ear with visual support by aligning with transients from other tracks.
