Minimizing Automation Drift
In general, automation drift is more pro-
nounced with larger audio regions. By creating
many small audio regions, the effects of auto-
mation drift can be minimized, because the start
points of each subsequent region changes as the
tempo changes. When tempo is decreased, auto-
mation expands. When tempo is increased, au-
tomation contracts.
Graphic Tempo Editor
The Tempo Editor, a resizeable window beneath
the Tempo ruler in the Edit Window, lets you
view and edit tempo information graphically.

Tempo changes applied to small regions
To break an audio region into smaller re-
gions, use Beat Detective. For more informa-
tion, see Chapter 24, “Beat Detective.”
You can also separate regions at transients
or based on the current grid resolution. For
more information, see “Separate Region
Commands” on page 418
