Creating Custom Tempo Map from Drums

Post by wonder »

I just bought some great drum tracks from an online retailer.

These came with Stems, Full Mix, and a MidiTempoMap....which is really useful.

Which got me thinking ... how do I create one of these myself?

Here's what I'm thinking ... taking either the kick/snare/hat tracks and somehow creating a tempo meter map from the transients. Thus, keeping the "human" feel of the drum track but being able to quantize any MIDI stuff TO the drum/tempo map versus editing the drums to the steady grid.

Is this possible?
