As a diabetic who could someday be faced with blindness, it's
definitely something I keep in mind and I'd want to have some
non-Ajax, non-graphical interface for that reason (among others.)
So I could upload my track and just give it a short
readme like:
135 BPM 4/4 - 2 measures adein or punch-in
Speaking only for myself, I almost always mess with the tempo when
recording MIDI tracks, to make them seem a little less metronomic.
Live instrument tracks might not have a consistent tempo either. (I
have to admit I stood there in disbelief the first time I came across
a 12 inch single that listed the BPM for each song, indicating they
had only one.)
I agree with you about uploading raw tracks, and the EDLs I was
referring to previously would be something the server maintained
internally for handling effects, edits and mixdowns. But I think
whatever shape this tool takes, it should be useful to all
computer-friendly musicians, not just limited to those whose genres
of music use invariant tempos.
