master tempo automation can't be @.00 bpm?

[theb311]

Hey all,

Noob question. I'm taking a track at 127.00bpm, dropping it to 90 then back up to 127.00 mid-track

However, when it's automated, it brings me back up to 127.67 and won't let me set it to 127.00. Kinda going crazy. Is there some sort of musical/computer music theory that I'm missing here?

Thanks!

you have to press cmd (mac)/ ctrl (pc..i guess) when you move the automation points to fine tune the decimal values, and that's the same for every automation paramter in live
one of the most important thing that should be improved for future versions imo..i mean entering automation values from keyboard

Yeah drawing a tempo automation is a joke. It takes me more time than making the song itself.

The best way to set a tempo point accurately is :
1: stop the song
2: type the accurate tempo into the tempo box
3: arm record and then press play.

That'll drop an accurately typed value at the point where you started recording. You'll have to delete the extraneous point that's left where you stopped recording... but at least you are left with accurate values.

good point !
Never thought of that. Was reducing the range, stretching the master track to the max, then using cmd+click.

I do it sort of like Angstrom, but I just press record and change the tempo value with the arrow keys, then delete some of the points if I want it smooth/continuous.
