As far as I can remember, the "automagic-ness" of ACID relies on some
sort of extra metadata. I think it was embedded in the WAV file, but it
might have been somewhere else.
The point is, if there is such metadata in a clip (e.g. wav), why no use
it? Have an option like "strech clip according to tempo metadata" or the
likes. If I remember your LAC presentation correctly, all resampling is
done "on-the-fly" (modulo some cacheing) so isn't is simply initializing
the 'stretch factor' to a proper value?
2cents for the masses,
that's a good point indeed. i do remember that Mark has aslo referred to
me about the meta-data acid do stuff into wavs, but i'm afraid i've lost
the hint at the bottomless qtractor todo list ;)
question that occurs to me atm. might be: does libsndfile have the means
to read or access that meta-data ?
as said, implicitly, i don't nor ever used acid, but it might be of some
help if someone would hand out one of the acid-stuffed wavs for me to try?
cheers

As for
edge dragging, in Acid this allows you to play a portion of a
loop. If I place a loop in a session the tempo is adjusted
automatically and I hear the whole loop. If I drag the left edge to
the right I lose the front part of the loop. If I drag the right edge
to the left I lose the last part of the loop. There are ways to drag
the loop to an out-of-sync point if you want but I don't use it much,
really only for beat slicing where they have better tools in the
editor.
when you import (or drop) a new audio file into the qtractor
time-line, it's always assumed that the new clip is in tempo with the
current session. if you find it is not the case, you can trim and/or
(time-)stretch the clip until you see fit. take a tour:
