Question

How to change start time for Bars-Beats display? Also, per-clip BPM?

The Tempo (Bars and Beats) display for editing clips is useful... as long as you're only working with one tempo. Surely I'm mistaken in thinking the Tempo is saved in Audition's preferences, globally for the whole program? Is there a way to save it per session, or maybe even per clip? Where's the setting to have the timing display "start" at a specific point in the clip, where the audio really starts, as obviously not all clips have been recorded with 1:1.00 beat on the 0:00.000 timecode? I'm not even asking for multiple tempos per clip, which would be absolutely awesome for trickier multitrack syncing situations, but hey.

[Edit] For those who are also looking for this: apparently there IS a per-clip or per-session setting [!], it's just hidden away in Properties for the clip or session.

Once set there, the "Change Tempo" menu actually opens this panel to edit a local tempo, instead of the global one. So that's that.

I'm still looking for a way to set the first beat at a specific point in a clip, instead of 0:00.000.

Pretty sure there is only a session BPM and no clip BPM

    @SuiteSpot: Actually, clip BPM works just like session BPM.

    The only oddity to it is that as soon as you open a file with a set BPM, lengths of all the other files in the Files box are also shown using the current BPM, regardless of their internal BPMs, if any. But it's a display-only bug.

    There is no clip BPM - there is only session BPM - that's why clip BPM works like session BPM because it is session BPM ;-)

    Yes you can set the Start time for an individual session in the Session properties. Also you can set a negative time if you want to have several bars of count in before the audio starts on bar 1:1.
