Creating a Sync Track Automatically

In cases where live audio was recorded into the VS-1824 before a tempo map was set, you can automatically create a sync track based on two points in the song, and then convert the sync track to a tempo map using the method explained above (“Creating a Tempo Map from a Sync Track”). For this procedure to work you must know the exact number of measures in the song, and there cannot be any tempo or time signature changes in the song.

To automatically create a sync track, you must specify a start time, an end time, and the exact number of measures between the start time and the end time.
