Beat Detective vs Motu's new Beat Engine

[XYZ]

This is it! I've, in the back of my head, always wondered why this feature is not quite there. A filter on eight notes, or something like that, that would follow the tempo of the song, and one that can delete all beats but the first beat of each measure [or find one beat per measure] or "select one beat per measure" would allow you to strech things in one or 2 measure chunks and leave the live grooves etc.

Now, if I had my way, BDE would have a way to detect a specified rhythmic value. Just changing the sensitivity and the other parameter (I can't remember the name) doesn't cut it. It needs a "detect eighth notes" or some specified value that will look for only those divisions. The present algorithm looks at amplitude mostly with no musical concern, so it is very difficult to get it to find the beats you need it to find to manipulate it properly. You usually end up with way too many or not enough. Either that or when you go to slice the beats BDE ought to let you specify the beats to slice... like only eighths or sixteenths, etc...

Of course, the other features just ought to work... no tricks involved.
