Tempo and MIDI and Audio
When editing or moving tempo events, the
Bars:Beats Ruler expands or shrinks, as neces-
sary, to accurately reflect the placement of audio
regions (which remain constant in terms of
sample location). This, in turn, affects the rela-
tive placement of MIDI notes, and ensures that
the visual relationship between MIDI and audio
is accurate.
Figure 16 illustrates how MIDI notes shift and
expand in relation to audio after the tempo is re-
duced.
After editing or moving a tempo event:
◆ Bar and beat locations for audio regions
(which are sample-based) are adjusted for the
new tempo. The audio region’s sample and
SMPTE locations remain unchanged.
◆ MIDI notes (which are tick-based) remain at
the same bar and beat location. In relation to au-
dio, however, the notes shrink or expand based
on the new tempo, and result in new sample
and SMPTE locations for the note start and end
times.
Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Macintosh)
while dragging to select across all Conduc-
tor tracks.
