Automatic tempo detection and correction

In this video I take a look at how you can detect the tempo in a stereo mix in Cubase Pro 11. After tempo detection I show how you can correct the tempo in the audio track and get it completely on the grid. Finally I take a look at two caveats in this Cubase functionality that are good to know about when you want to use automatic tempo detection and correction.

    This was the perfect video for a crucial point in a project. Saved me hours! Liked and subscribed thank you.
  • @maciej74174
    Searched this problem for ages and finally got it. Thank you so much.
  • @in2gadgets
    Once again, I have to say - the best tutorial on this subject.. Thanks!!
  • Wow! A clear explanation of exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks.
  • @andremjack
    Really cool video! I've never seen someone go into the nitty-gritty of Cubase like this, especially pointing out the bug with sample rates and even dropping a link for more info. I don't usually comment, but your video is top-notch. Big thumbs up for the great content!
  • I’m on deadline for a project, and I needed to time correct a reference track. You saved my skin. Thanks!
  • @deldridg
    You now have another Ausse subscriber. Many thanks Maarten - clear, concise and exactly what I need. I accompany my daughter's singing on piano and we're about to do some recording work, so now I can add some "feel" with confidence that I can work with the tracks later, not being a Cubase guru. Most of my piano will be MIDI (RD800) and I saw from another comment that things work the same way for MIDI as they do for waves. I know how much work goes into making videos like these and your efforts are very much appreciated. Big thank you from Sydney - Dave

    This worked perfect for my needs. Many thanks, and happily subscribed!
  • Quite a Process !! We just began. Place beatmarkers on the beat with Cubase or Reaper. Now we are ready to get a smpte cuelist for lights in Grandma 2 with plug in software only for Reaper. It is two way communication . Remove a marker in Reaper will remove SMPTE cue in GrandMA2.
  • @Flooride1
    Thank you. I have now put recordings from a SMPTE striped 16 track audio reel into cubase and put a click on Cubase Pro 12 via SMPTE XR300 Synchroniser and Roland TR626 drum machine. Then used that click for tempo definition and lined it up into measures and now going to add in new midi tracks. Loving your easy to follow videos.
  • @Harrysound
    oh wow thank you so much for this. for year I'd been doing tempo detection and clicking a few buttons but now I actually get it!
  • Thanks, I have been looking for a video to teach me this in Cubase for ages. New sub.
  • Great video ...as others have said, a headache we all deal with, and here is a concise explanation, FINALLY!
  • @29djandy
    Thank you so much for this knowledge
