How to modify the tempo without losing the timing with video

[alexis]

Hi @Martin-Raison

@Martin-Raison

But enabling the Musical Mode as you suggested to me is only possible for Audio Events, right?

That’s correct!

As I understand it (and before running with the following as Gospel, I’d wait to make sure there’s no correction forthcoming from the pros).

… as far as MIDI events go, their lengths (“playback speeds”) are always going to change when the tempo is changed … they react to tempo changes just like audio with Musical Mode switched “on” does.

And, unlike audio, they have no button/icon to click to change that behavior … there’s no option to make MIDI events behave like audio with Musical Mode switched “off” does.

The following two posts by @raino may help (they did me!):

(From the Book of Raino, where those Cubase novices wandering in the Tempo Change Desert for forty years were brought to the mountain top to be shown the promised land):

How Musical Mode and Linear/Musical Timebase Interact

How Musical Mode and Linear/Musical Timebase Interact Timebase - Applies to an entire Track. A Track’s Timebase determines if Events on the Track have their START Location measured in Bars & Beats or Minutes & Seconds Musical Timebase - Start is measured in Beats Linear Timebase - Start is measured in Seconds Musical Mode - Applies to an entire Audio File and will impact all Events created from that file throughout the entire Project. A File’s Musical Mode determines if an Event’s LENGTH i…

How Musical Mode and Linear/Musical Timebase Interact

Wanted to add some clarification about MIDI Parts. The initial post above is all about Audio and not MIDI. Both MIDI and Audio behave exactly the same with regard to Musical vs. Linear Timebase as described above. However Musical Mode only applies to AUDIO Events and not MIDI Parts. There is no Mode setting that can be turned on/off for MIDI Parts. Basically MIDI Parts always behave the same as an Audio Event set to Musical Mode - MIDI Parts will always shrink & expand to cover the same number…

So, If I understand your first post correctly:

1. Does setting the track to Linear Time Base before adjusting the tempo get you the results you want?

2. If not, does rendering the MIDI to audio first, then setting the track to Linear Time Base before adjusting the tempo get you the results you want?
