Editing tempo and signature
You need to create a “lock point” – a tempo event at the 
first cue position:
9.Press [Shift] and click with the Time Warp tool in the 
event display at the cue position.
In our case this is bar 33.
As you can see, a tempo event (with the same value as the 
first one) is added at that position.
10.Now match the second musical cue to the correct 
video position by dragging the musical position to the 
desired time position as before.
The new tempo event is edited – the...

Editing tempo and signature
Now, if you simply adjusted that beat in the tempo grid to 
match the beat in the recording, the tempo event at the 
first downbeat would be changed – this would ruin the 
match in the previous bars! We need to lock these by in-
serting a new tempo event.
9.Locate the last beat that is in sync.
This would be the beat just before the position where the audio and 
tempo drift apart.

event there.
This locks this...

Filtering MIDI events
When you are editing MIDI in the Project Browser, the 
large number of different MIDI events displayed can make 
it hard to find the events you want to edit. The Filter pop-up 
menu allows you to select a single event type for display.
When this option is selected, only Controller events will be shown in 
the event display. To show all event types, select the top item (“---”) 
from the menu.

can choose to mix down several channels at once. For 
each channel, an individual file will be created.
The following channel types are available:
