Correcting tempo track after tempo detection

Cubase

Hello everyone :slight_smile: I used tempo detection on a track, with the following results:

It looks like it worked flawlessly, but there is a problem with the first bar, before the event starts. The click is too fast, comparing to what follows after. I reckon this is due to the first point in tempo track having tempo=120 while the rest is 93~96. How to fix this?

When I use Time Warp (musical events follow), I can move tempo points without breaking the subsequent alignment of click to the drums. But I can’t move the first point obviously. On the other hand, when I adjust the first point’s tempo manually to, say, 93, it breaks the alignment.

I understand that I probably could have moved the event to the beginning of the project and rerun tempo detection, but I’m interested how to fix problems like that after tempo detection has already been used.

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Delete the first bar?

…or switch the audio track to Musical Time Base, then adjust the initial tempo event. That should keep the alignment.

Move the 2nd point earlier so it’s aligned with the first. I’d do it by Selecting the 2nd point and then adjusting its location via the Info Line.

I think this will move the audio event since the track is set to Linear Time Base.
