[RWP] Question about the new option to embed tempo

[Scott Chesworth]

Hi Mike,

Yup, this functionality would be an easy aproach to the task you're
trying to accomplish. It does hinge on your original vocal being
recorded to a click track in the first place, and on you knowing what
the original tempo was.  If you don't know the original tempo, you can
use Reaper to identify that, and I also saw a tutorial on how to draw
a tempo map out for a song that hasn't been tracked to a click on the
Reaper forums that seemed like it'd be doable with a screen reader, so
either part of that info missing wouldn't be the end of the world.

Hth, I know I'll be attempting my first shot at remixing something
electronic with this once this huge deadline I'm working toward is out
of the way.
Scott
