I use Tracker to create MIDI tracks from kicks and snares audio tracks that have been already recorded over a tempo map in my DAW (Cubase).
What I always do is to export an empty MIDI file from Cubase and then import it in Tracker so I have the correct tempo map inside it (Tempo Map > Load Tempo from Midi File…)
However, to my very unpleasant suprise, this doesn’t import the signature changes, making Tracker almost useless when it comes to any song that has signature changes or just isn’t in 4/4, which is crazy.
I have read that you only introduce signature changes manually, but that isn’t very efficient when it comes to a whole album with MANY changes. Also, since it’s almost impossible to synchronize SD3 playback to the DAW playback (if there’s a way please tell me), it’s also extremelly inefficient to listen to the whole song (only the kickdrum) and have to guess where you have to put the signature change, since you can’t even listen to the whole instrumentation but only the track you have inside SD3.
I know I must be missing something, there has to be a way to import signature changes somehow, otherwise we’re doomed to only use SD3 with flat signature songs (?). What is the option that I’m missing and why aren’t signature changes imported together with tempo changes when you import tempo from MIDI file?, this is really basic but necessary stuff.
I’d appreciate any answers here! thank you
