I LOVE GREGOR!!!! No matter what I'm doing or how I'm feeling, I can ALWAYS count on GREGOR to make me smile!! THANK YOU for all your informative videos and keep it going!!

5:30 wow that blew me away! Never knew that and will be using it a lot since I do a lot of improvisation with no click and always find it difficult to bring it to steady tempo. Thank you so much for another treasure.

[fatherpeace]

This is why I love this program. I'm embarrassed to share how I was time-stretching before watching this video (LOL)! You have saved me a lot of time. Thank you, Gregor and Presonus.

Studio One needs a whole load of respect man....its revolutionary in its making. Thats all. Theres no debate to be made of it. Dem boys need to man up to this fact...

[trickfall]

You are the biggest reason to use Studio One. Thanks so much for that. I play in a band that never plays to a click so this is super useful.

Gregor, the only thing is you should have emphasized the importance having " not set" written into the file tempo field in the inspector window and that there is a dropdown menu from that field which gives you the choice to clear the tempo file of previous tempos, so it says: "not set" ....
...otherwise the whole procedure he describes won't work. it took me so long to discover this crucial bit of info. Apart from that . .. brilliant! Gregor! thankyou.

I've have been looking for this for years! I wish I had seen it a few months ago, though. I recorded a group of 70 year old retirees who have started reliving the joys of playing like they did in the 60's and 70's. Since none of them had ever done it, playing with a click was out of the question. And it worked OK since they were used to playing with each other and had known the songs since that period, so they were in the ballpark. But since they weren't working pros, and in their 70's, there are places where things between the drums, bass and 2 guitars sometimes get a bit loose. They recorded about 15 songs and medleys of 2-3 songs each, so I immediately saw the potential for tightening things up much more quickly than the method I had been using, namely generating bend markers on the Drum overheads and aligning the guitars and bass to that by hand as needed. That was a noticeable improvement but took a good amount of time. This seemed a way I could align things, at least to the drums, much more quickly. Unfortunately, the sessions were recorded with a default tempo, Studio One always asks for it, and since we weren't listening to a click and since I was not aware of the techniques explained in this video, I edited some tracks that were far out of time or had performance mistakes etc. as I have tried to clean things up in preparation for mixing. I would then bounce the tracks so I would have those obvious edits done and only deal with one file per track, rather than many clips. However, the default tempo that my sessions had was now embedded in the bounced files. Is there a way to remove all tempo data from the files and session so that I can do as you suggest at the beginning of the video, "set an estimated tempo". I have found the Melodyne also sees that tempo and will it as the newly determined tempo in it's calculations. But I believe if I can strip all tempo reference in the files themselves, and the reset the approximate tempo of the performance this will work. Am I right? And if so, what steps would I use to remove the tempo data embedded in the files?

I just had an occasion to use this and it worked remarkably well. I knew there was a reason to save this.
Thank you!
