I have count-in set to '1 bar.' Say bars 1-9 of a song are 160 bpm and bar 10 is 100 bpm, if I want to start recording directly at bar 10, the count-in bar uses the previous tempo of 160 bpm, not 100. Recording in time is EXTREMELY difficult under these circumstances, because the count-in bar is rendered completely useless. This is more of an oversight than a bug, though.

Hi,

I cannot reproduce this bug. When i create the described scenario Live would count-in at 100 BPM as expected, and it should always use the tempo from the recording start position for count-in.

Is it possible that the tempo change occurs slightly after the recording start position in your set? If you create the tempo change in draw mode with grid snapping enabled, the tempo change should be quantized exactly to the bar where you want it to be.

Let me know if that helps.

Best Wishes,

Yeah, I didn't use draw mode, I guess that was the problem. Putting in the change as envelope points apparently does something with the countoff.
