Track Time Base

The time base of a track determines if a track can follow the tempo changes of a project that is set to tempo track mode.

In the Inspector for MIDI tracks, instrument tracks, and audio-related tracks, you can activate/deactivate Toggle Time Base to switch the track time base.

The following time base modes are available:

  • Musical

    Use this mode for material with a musical, that is, tempo-related time base. All tracks that are set to musical time base follow any tempo changes that you add on the tempo track.

    Note

    For audio events on audio tracks that are set to musical time base, the tempo changes on the tempo track affect only the start position and not the actual audio.

  • Linear

    Use this mode for material with a linear, time-related time base.
