While scoring for movies, often there’s a time when a different tempo/style comes in suddenly… Right now, you have to adjust the previous bar so that the strong beat of the new music aligns correctly. Or you can delete that specific unnecessary project range (but this often leads to time-aligned Kontakt instruments behaving strangely).
What I am suggesting is :
User inserts a tempo at any specific time with the option “Start a new bar at this location.”
So it’s like a rift has happened in the project suddenly so you can just start your new music instantly.
Thanks for reading, hope it makes sense.
Wouldn’t you use the Time Warp tool to drag the bar to the position of the cue?
So instead of inserting the tempo first and wanting the bar to be there you put the bar in the correct place and Cubase will create the tempo event.
Thank you for the suggestion, but it’s not the same… Two problems:
Delay type effect will go crazy at that last tempo-changed beat.
Time synced VST instruments (like a guitar strumming) are most likely going to be offset…
The rift idea however makes the new starting point the (new) absolute zero. (Nothing passes through from previous section, so no nasty delay stuff also)
That would be so good for trailer type stuff especially. Sudden introductions of new music, nothing carried over from before…
