What is the feature or ability you would like to have?
A recipe “quantise/fixate Beatgrid to Cue-marker”
How will this feature help you and others?
Well it seems to be happening sometimes that cross importing from different databases & apps can results in faulty bpm exports… these things happen… not often but ALWAYS on the most impossible times… so when disaster dares to strike again i came up with following solution that can fix the problem quite easy if i’m honest…
The idea is simple:
-
The user selects a track (or bunch of tracks)
-
rightmousebutton => goes to “edit”
-
in the track edit screen “Switch to Recipes”
-
There under the “CUES/BEATGRID”-tab the user finds a recipe called “Quantise/Fixate/Lock Beatgrid To Cue-Marker”
-
Going to the next screen we can choose onto which cue marker-slot (1-8) you want the beatgrid to fixate on…
=> priority is off course that the track(s) 1st need to be analysed in order to have the right bpm set up… or have the right bpm’s already set…
Is this feature available in an existing product? If so, what product?
Not that i know of
Does a workaround currently exist?
manually go to cue, shift grid to wanted position (per track …)
In how far this is possible… i really don’t know… BUT i can imagine there is an easy way to implement this feature based on already made cue-markers. As these markers have an exact fixated location on the waveform/in the timeline of the track… i can imagine there is a logic way to fixate the beatgrid (based on the right bpm) to those points… once 1 cue marker is linked, the beat grid takes the head-measure of the 4 beats, the whole beatgrid should be on point now for the whole track as well now…
(of course for tracks with shifting bpm’s (for example on breakdowns where the d&b tune’s bpm goes from 170 to a 140 garage vibe to build up again towards drop2…) this is not possible…
Just an idea that’s worth brainstorming on imo
