Here's my problem. I've got 8 trks in WAV files of live performance in Audition. Now, while the rhythm section cooks and grooves like Rufus/AWB, the orchestra trk really got butchered by sloppy runs, even to the point that I had to toss the entire track. So, my mission, should I decide to accept it, is to record the orchestra using MIDI parts, then convert them to wav files. The hard part is sync'ing them up to the rest of the tracks. What makes THAT hard is that the tempo in Sonar was left at 120 when the original tracks were recorded. Not for any reason, that's just the default. But, seeing as the tune is NOT really that tempo, I'm wondering what would be the cleanest, most efficient means for sync-ing the MIDI and WAV file parts.

Yes, I'm aware of the DNA features, and other sync-ing features; I just want to avoid at all costs changing the tempo of the other good WAV tracks by changing the tempo setting. Now that I think about it, it might do me well to post this as well on Adobe's forum. Still, any suggestions would be great.

Perhaps what you could do is to try and determine the actual tempo of the recorded files and then set up your MIDI sequencer to that tempo. Then when you convert your new MIDI tracks to .wav files they should match.

And or mix down the Audition tracks to one file and import into Sonar as a guide track for your tempo. You should be able to adjust the tempo in Sonar so that the bars and beats match the audio without chnging it's length.

Ryclark,

I think I found the tool to implement this in Sonar, I just can't quite figure out how to use it. The AudioSnap feature should work, and I didn't see any comparable feature in AU1.5, so I'm heading over to Sonar's Forum. Their help file wasn't so helpful.

Tanx,
George
