Sequence to Soundbite Tempo from click track

[Polemarch]

Hi all! Got an operation that I feel like should be straightforward, but is not working as I'd expect.

I have a track with a variable click. Happily I have a printed click track that matches it, but unfortunately I don't have MIDI with this tempo information, so need to generate it. Usually I would:
1. Analyze soundbite tempo
2. Adjust sequence to match soundbite tempo

The original track doesn't have enough obvious beat info in it for analyzing the tempo to yield good results. I would think that the click would generate an accurate tempo map, but for some reason when I analyze the tempo and set the sequence to match, I get a static q = 59bpm which doesn't reflect the variability in the click.

I've had this process work great for tracks with say, a solid drum kit element. Any ideas why it wouldn't be working here?

I haven’t been able to figure out why the functions to analyse tempo in a soundbite sometimes work brilliantly and sometimes not at all.

When it doesn’t, I usually record a simple MIDI track with a snare or similar, and when it’s right, use that to “adjust beats”. A bit tedious, but gets the job done.
