Working with Tempo Matching
The Tempo Matching feature of the Master Track editor is best suited for finding
suitable tempi for shorter spots or a smaller section of a larger piece.
Show Hitpoint Match
When this option is turned on on the pop-up Options menu, lines will extend from
the Time Hits up over the Tempo Graph and onto the Meter Hit strip. When these
lines are dotted, the Time Hits currently do not match any certain meter positions,
when they are solid, they do.
In this figure, the Time Hit in the middle doesn’t match, but the other two do.
About Matching
So how do you tell the program what "matching" means, in your particular case?
There are two settings for this, the Snap value and the Tolerance pop-up (in %) be-
side it.
If you for example set Snap to 4 and Tolerance to 12%, this means that all Time
Hits that are positioned within 12% from a quarter note are considered matching
and will be shown in solid black.
Finding Matches
Let's say you have a short video spot for which you want to find one tempo that fits
as many visual cues as possible. You have a video tape recorder with time code that
you can feed to Cubase VST to achieve synchronization. Proceed as follows:
1. Activate the Master Track by clicking on the Master button on the Trans-
port bar.
2. Use the Synchronization dialog to set things up so that Cubase VST starts
exactly where the music should start in the spot.
3. Set up a few Time Hits to match the important visual cues.
