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

From my experiment, I am seeing that when I inserted the tempo change and
the time signature change, it did not affect my audio, the click just went
off from where it should have been. I am only using this to give myself a
decent click track to play along with, and it doesn't sound like the tempo
change is messing with the audio at all.

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.

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.
