Best tempo mapping tutorial for Reaper

[51m0n]

I've done tempo mapping in Reaper about s squillion different ways, but found this method recently and it's so good I thought I'd share.

 

It's notable to me that this guy records mainly classical so a ralentado across s bar is not an unusual thing to need to deal with. Hence his method is super accurate.

 

I've yet to find s single 'automated' means of achieving this that works for my main usage, which is for adding horn ideas to rehearsals and thus wanting a really good tempo map on a stereo room recording. The use of spectral editing is key for easily locating the kick drum transient in the stereo wav for grid positioning.

 

I can run through a 10 minute jam on a groove in a couple of minutes now with the key mapping I have and it really makes horn ideas a breeze afterwards as I can drag and drop midi files anywhere and they stay tight to the band.

 

Anyhow enough of that, here's the link
