5. Draw in, or use MIDI to insert a Time Hit where the music will start.
6. Draw a Meter Hit on Bar 1, and link it to the Time Hit.
7. Now select Straighten Up, and the tempo will get adjusted so that these
two points line up.
If the tempo was changed too much, you might have to repeat the procedure,
set a new Song Start and Time Display in the Sync dialog, and move the Time
Hit accordingly, then Straighten Up again.
8. When the beginning of the Song is adjusted to taste, you can begin insert-
ing Time Hits for important visual cues.
We suggest you name them for future reference.
9. The next step is to create corresponding Meter Hits. This can be done
manually (draw and link) or using Mirror and Link.
10.Move the Meter Hits around to fit the music and use Straighten Up to
examine what kind of tempo changes were needed.
Please note that Straighten up only inserts one tempo change for each linked
pair. If you want a gradual tempo change between two pairs, draw in an ac-
celerando/ritardando, and Straighten Up will scale the entire section to fit.
11.Keep adjusting the Hitpoints, insert new tempo changes (accelerandi or
ritardandi for example) where needed, and use Straighten Up to restore
the Time/Meter relations.
Don't worry about making last minute changes. If you for example receive a new
copy of the video where a few frames have been cut out, just move your Time Hits
accordingly and straighten up again. Changes you make in the beginning of the
Song won't affect tempi at later positions, since each matched pair of links creates a
new fixed "reference" between time and meter.
During the course of this procedure, you can of course switch back to the Arrange
window and record and edit music to fit the cues.
