This reminds me I really should try the “new and improved” hit point detection in Cubase 7.5.20 . I tried it in 6.5 and abandoned it, maybe too soon, but it just didn’t seem to help enough.
On the other hand, the Tap Tempo, Time Warp, Set Definition stuff seems to work about the same in 7.5.20, fairly straight-forward (though it took me forever to figure out how to get it going, a big part of it was to put the other tracks in Linear Time Base, iirc). Not saying it isn’t tedious!
I agree w/ what someone wrote around here not too long ago, it’s always a balance between “still too sloppy” (too few Time Warp points) and “all the life got sucked out of this” (Time Warp points every beat, or more often!). I guess it depends on the style of music too, i.e., intentionally tempo-varied vs. rigid EDM-type stuff.
