I’m beginning to hate the stupid top line menu bar that isn’t exactly a menu and doesn’t even color itself in correctly. So my solution of creating a tempo track was not necessary, though it was a solution to get a track-based tempo working.Īgree with your overall comment about ‘intuitive’ … though cubase is certainly not alone in counterintuitive programming. And midi import seems to pick up however the last opened project left that setting. You click on the word “TEMPO” or the word “FIXED” … peculiar operation, but you want it to say “TEMPO” in one little box and “TRACK” in the little box beside. But the button is in the Transport Window. Why in the world there would be a “fixed tempo” option as a default, who knows. That last comment from Jeff, unfriendly though it was, might also be a clue: I just imported a midi file again and now it comes in with tempo.
