Here is a tutorial that will help you get the most milage out of the beat wizard. It has some tips and hints to get the beat wizard to perform when it has trouble finding the beats correctly. This is just from my experience. Hopefully, other will add their insight and tips on the beat wizard as well.
The audio is a bit low on this one and the transition at the end cut me off mid sentence. But, it's 3am and I'm done messing with it.
Please chime in with questions and other tips for getting high performance out of the beat wizard.
Your Demo Video was very helpful to me. Before I had no use for the beat wizard, because it always had the beat incorrect. Now I think it will be a helpful tool, after you showed me how to use it in a different way. Thanks for your sleepless night's work. Your videos make it much easier to understand whats going on, keep them coming.
Very well done. I was not aware that you could put different sections of the beat wizard in (the last thing you showed). That will make it easier. Thank you for your hard work!
Thanks for the video very informative and helpful, one question I did try your steps with a audio file, I noticed when you applied your timmings in looks like your timing are being inserted at 0.05 in which mine are not being inserted like your video, for example the first timing mark is 0:00.29 -0:00.49 is there a setting I need to adjust to get my insert to look like the insert on your video, I hope this makes sense.

Are the grid marks landing on the beat OK? If so, then you can use a faster related tempo to get timing marks more frequently but still on the tempo. When you play the song, watch how fast the blue squares change in the beat wizard. This is how often timing events are going to be inserted. Keeping increasing the faster related tempo value until the blue squares move at the speed you want.
The reason why my song has it faster by default is because my song has a faster beat than your song. LOR will insert the timings based on where it thinks the beat is. So, if it thinks the beats are really fast, you'll get close markings. If it thinks the beat is really slow, you'll get markings that are further apart (like yours.) All you need to do is select a faster or slower related tempo in the beat wizard to get it to insert values more often or less often.

Being a newbie and based in the UK (so cannot easily get to special events that go on throughout the year) I and probably many more would pay for a professionally made DVD by you guys or LOR. Then we would be able to view on the TV whilst learning on the laptop etc.
ANYBODY going to take this on
Pete.
Ps: Aimed at you Michael.farney. get you into a pro studio (that'll be good, and earn you money).

Like I need anymore work, but I can never refuse a challenge, so...
Mike Farney, if you are at all interested in a DVD production, email me, and we can talk further. It seems I some ideas all of a sudden..
PS Pete - My DVDS are produced in NTSC. While I can completely edit the audio and video, and then output into the PAL format, none of my monitors, etc will accept PAL, which makes it a little tough to assemble the edited video into a DVD!
I could I suppose output it in PAL DVD format, without any chapters (as I couldn't see the video to insert same), but I being the rather picky sort I am when it comes to quality, wouldn't feel I did a good job...
Hmm, got to think about a PAL formatted DVD a little more....
