Subject:SF7 - Can it make Beat markers for Vegas?

Title says it all. I've had pretty decent success using my tapping finger on the M key to make markers on the beat in S-V. Just wondering if there is a more "exact" option in SF7?

Grazie

I don't think so. However, i've found it easier to find things i'm looking for in the waveform in SoundForge than in Vegas, so if you're a visual person like i am it might be easier.

Have you considered ACID's BeatMapper? It's got a really nice interactive display that helps you find the exact tempo of a song and alignt it to the beat grid. You could then easily place markers on the gridlines and render this to a new file with metadata and the markers should be preserved when you open it in Vegas.

In Sound Forge goto the OPTIONS menu and turn on the "Selection Grid Lines". This has aided me in creating loops, if they're in 4/4 time signature.
