tempo recognition - "smooth tempo" greyed out

How can I use the “smooth tempo” function? It is always greyed out here.

Thanks! Stefan

This has always been the case for me also.

I have resorted to manually editing the tempo track to remove the jumps, but surely there is a better way.

I see several threads here, but haven’t found one with an answer. It’s almost as though the feature isn’t actually there!

I’m having the same issue. It really is a mystery!

Has anyone found a solution yet?

Thanks.

I think that the smooth tempo is available when there are wide variations of detected tempo. You can always smooth tempo by selecting the tempo events on a tempo track and going to the right center of the selected temp range where you can compress or expand the tempo values.

yet another pathetic badly designed and implemented ‘feature’ … smooth tempo disabled and yet this tool wants to alter the track tempo according to the groove of the parts… on a totally standard hard quantised 120 bpm ish electronic track… setting the time signature to 4/4 doesn’t seems to make it think in bars of 4/4…You can’t simply ask it to look for the starts of bars and workout the average tempo through the track which isn’t actually changing… shameful rubbish
