Beat mapping > seems better but this > option is mysterious! "Protect MIDI" is a misnomer: if checked it forces MIDI events to stay ties to Bar/Beat position after new tempo events are created. This makes the performance sound different then what was there. If unchecked, events are frozen at their absolute positions while tempo events are created, and they sound identical after Beatmapping. Don't Check that box unless you know what you want! > ______________________________________________________________________ > __________________________________________ Jonathan Perl • Associate Director, Sonic Arts Center at the City College of New York. sonic.arts.ccny.cuny.edu • Apple Certified Trainer for Logic Pro.
