Greetings, I'm taking another look at DP while working on a MIDI track not played to a metronome.

Currently in Pro Tools I must construct a detailed tempo track and also carefully nudge a few off-grid notes. This got me reminiscing about Opcode Studio Vision sub-sequences, where I could split my performance into phrases (verse1, verse2, bridge, chorus, etc.) each having its own master tempo, then chain them together. A chorus could play slightly faster than verses for example.

In your experience, are DP11 chunks able to work like this? I would really like two features:

1. Chunks (or subsequences) with independent, chain-able tempos as described.

2. Chunks that are perfect measures but preserve leading and trailing notes that cross the measure boundaries. My piano chords often cascade into the downbeat; every tool I've used disrupts MIDI notes crossing the measure boundaries when I cut / paste / move the chunk.

I may try the new DP11 30-day demo but thought to ask here before installing.

Thanks for your insights,
Sky

Sorry for the late reply.

1. There is rudimentary support for preserving notes past boundaries.

2. When you use Chunks to make a song, you essentially drag a chunk into the song, you can choose to use the conductor track from the song or the chunks conductor.

In terms of MIDI not played to the metronome there are a few ways to do this, the simplest way works well IMO. I had a push pull drum track played to a metronome, but too off to actually fit 147bpm that it worked on quite well,
