Record without setting bpm... auto detect bpm after the fact

[Dummy14000]

This might sound backwards...

I want to record drums without a metronome playing... Or without setting the bpm on the midi clip.

After I'm done playing... I want Ableton to auto detect the bpm I was playing at.

Is there any way to accomplish this?


Sometimes having the metronome playing will throw you off when you're trying to play a drum rack. Sometimes you want to just jam out for a while, then pluck out a section that was good and work with that section. When you record though you set a specific bpm so if you go off the rails and change tempo or something you end up with notes on a grid that make no sense at all. I'd like to just play for a while, slice a section that I like then have Ableton auto detect that bpm and set the grid accordingly.

Do any of you do anything like this?

Yep, have a look here, section 9.2.1
