Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
For a nice, expressive ballad, I have actually
aligned the tempo graphically
to the audio. Surprisingly effective, possible in qtractor or rosegarden. Set
tempos so that the beat lines hit the audio where one wants.
Rosegarden has a feature that can sometimes help with this -- Set
Tempos from Beat Segment. (Hm, wonder why it doesn't say "tempi".)
To use it, record a new segment in which (on a MIDI keyboard or
whatever) you tap one note at each beat -- tapping along with the real
time of the audio or whatever you want to align it with. Then select
that segment and activate the function (Composition -> Set Tempos from
Beat Segment). Rosegarden will then calculate a tempo change for each
beat, such that all the other MIDI segments will have their beats
moved to the times you tapped at.
