Default Mapping with Time signature changes

THANKS BEVOSS!! Everything went PERFECTLY until I came across a song that had multiple time signature changes.

To be clear: I'm producing an album from a songwriter who has already recorded the songs beautifully with just piano accompaniment. I'm taking it to a finished product.

I could NOT get the time signature changes to work. My first attempt I laid out all the measures according to your instructions - perfect! - but when I attempted to make the time signature changes [by using SHIFT C to bring up the tempo/time signature marker dialogue] it just fudged EVERYTHING up. I tried to add the time signatures one measure at a time. No go.

I figured out a workaround which may be helpful to others which is why I am posting.

Instead of just changing the time signature I did the math for the tempo for each initial measure of the time change. Process looked like this:

1. After finding and marking all of the downbeats apply the BEVOSS method up to the measure AFTER the time change.
2. When moving from 4/4 to 3/4 change the tempo by a factor of .75.
- the subsequent measures would lay out perfectly.
3. Apply the same process when the time returned to 4/4 except, of course the tempo factor is now 1.3333333333333333333

There may be a better way to do this but this was not too bad.

Thanks again BEVOSS

Thanks Bevoss

I'm stuck on the final bit, I have absolutely NO IDEA about macros and the 'edit keyboard shortcut' stuff. Can you explain this or point me somewhere I can learn it> I googled t but didnt get very far. Or can anyone else help?

Cheers

Tom

This is the way I'm mapping tempo now, it can be done in almost realtime. Includes what you can do if you have odd time signatures.

Here's the update scripts to do both Mac/Win
ReaTrak get tempo map from item.lua

ReaTrak get chords from item to regions.lua

here's the scripts & executables as well
sonic.zip

Put them all in the Scripts folder or Scripts/ReaTrak/

Also:

Here's a couple of scripts for Reaper6 you can try and see if they work for you
ReaTrak set tempo mapped items in selection to constant tempo R6.lua
ReaTrak set item bpm and fit to project tempo map R6.lua




You can set it to fit automatically if you have the tempo in the filename
or it has embedded tempo (Acid) if not you can use the script:

Is it possible to set the splits more accurate using a Midi keyboard than the computer keys ?
