[ddots-l] Re: Tempo and time signature oddities

Tempo changes do not work well with audio because it stretches or
shrinks audio and that's not good.  Further, time sig changes only
redraw a grid against which events can be mapped.

Subject: [ddots-l] Tempo and time signature oddities


Hey, everybody. Had this odd thing happen using sonar 4 producer and ct.
I am using the audio metronome and recording all audio tracks. I
inserted a temp and time signature change partway through my song and
the metronome went a little loopy. If I played the track from before the
tempo and time sig change and listen to the metronome, the metronome
would change and add two beats into my count. For instance, I changed
from 4/4 to 6/4 and there are two extra ticks at the different tempo
before the one beat of the 6/4 part. It's hard to describe in writing.
Anyway, I am sure I put the tempo and time change at the beginning of
the measure I wanted to affect. If I play the track after the time
change, the whole song is off from the metronome by two beats. Somebody
told me that inserting tempo/time changes only really works with midi
tracks and not audio, but I find this hard to believe, I would think it
would work equally well for audio tracks. Is this true? Thanks for any
help on this subject.
