The band I'm working with has lots of tempo and signature changes throughout about 6 tracks we'll be doing. Luckily the drummer is a math and beat wiz so he's able to tell me things like "these 3 bars are 4/4, then the next 4 are 3/4" and so on, so I can map them in Cubase 5 so the click track matches every beat.
I have a couple questions. If the band doesn't know the signatures, what can I do to teach myself? Should I try to get demos so I can do my best to map it? Should I change the click so that there are no "down beat" tones and the same click tone throughout?
Also, if I were to export the wav files and input them into a new session for mixing (all in cubase mind you, I just like to separate my recording sessions from mixing sessions), will my time based delays still work in sync? Or Do I need export the temp and signature tracks and upload to the new session?
Thanks for any thoughts!
