Change Meter
Change Meter lets you specify complex meter
changes for Bar|Beat-based material. You can en-
ter meter changes at a particular bar, make a
meter change over a selected area of time, or add
meter changes sequentially one bar at a time.
Options for the Change Meter command in-
clude:
New Meter Lets you specify a new time signa-
ture. The first field lets you enter the number of
beats (up to 99) in a measure, and the second
field lets you enter the note length that counts
as one beat.
Click Lets you specify the note value that will
trigger the metronome click. For example, if an
eighth note is chosen, a click is played for every
eighth note, regardless of tempo.
Starting at Bar Sets the bar where the meter
change is added. Meter changes made in the
Change Meter page can only be made at the be-
ginning of a bar.
Apply Change To Lets you apply the meter
change to the selected range, to the end of the
session, or until the next bar.
Change The Change fields let you specify the
number of bars of the new meter that you wish
to have replace the selected range.
Pro Tools automatically calculates the nearest
whole bar number, or you can specify a number
of bars to be affected. Time is inserted or deleted,
in whole bar increments, at the end of the selec-
tion, as necessary on all affected tracks when
you override the calculated range.
Realign
The Realign controls let you choose which items
to realign after meter changes have been made.
You can choose to realign meter events, or
choose to realign meter and tempo events, tick-
based markers and tracks, and all or none of the
sample-based tracks.
Meter Ruler Only
Applies meter changes to the
Meter ruler only. All other rulers and tracks are
unaffected.
Meter and Tempo Rulers, All Tick-Based Markers
and Tracks, and Sample-Based Markers and
Tracks
Applies meter changes to all rulers, tick-
based tracks, and your choice of sample-based
tracks. Time is inserted or deleted as needed at
the end of the selection to preserve the align-
ment of material following the selection.
