5. Press [Shift] and click in the event at the position of the first downbeat (the start of the bar).
When you press [Shift], the pointer turns into a pencil. Clicking adds a tempo event at the first downbeat � when you later adjust the tempo with the Time Warp tool, the first downbeat will stay in place. Note: if the event started exactly on the first downbeat (no audio before the �one�) you wouldn�t need to do this. This is because a tempo event is automatically added at the start of the edited event.
6. Now, locate the start of the next bar in the ruler. 7. Click at that position in the event display and drag the position to the downbeat of the second bar in the recording.
When you click, the pointer will snap to the ruler grid.
You mustn�t necessarily match the downbeats (�ones�) � in this figure beat �2� in the second bar is matched to the �two� in the recording�s second bar (simply because the snare drum hits on the upbeats are easier to spot in the waveform image).
When you dragged the grid you changed the tempo value in the tempo event at the first downbeat. If the drummer held a fairly consistent tempo, the following bars should now match pretty well too. 8. Check the following bars and locate the first position where the audio drifts from the tempo.
