In advance thank you very much this great app!

I think selection section by bpm would be very important, example for duplicate special parts for remix. A workaround is to use generate rythm track and use beat finder. But it isn't good enough because the beat finder doesn't work enough precisely.

Thanks: Bela

I believe the tempo/grid in a DAW is normally set-up manually before recording or as part of MIDI programming (again, before any regular-audio recording).

But it isn't good enough because the beat finder doesn't work enough precisely.

You can't expect it to be "perfect". It's easy for a human to pick-up the beat/tempo but it's not so easy for a computer. The beat may be defined by different instruments/frequencies in different songs or moment-to-moment. And, there can be rests or swing in the rhythm, or dynamic changes (or a lack of dynamics) that can confuse the computer.

The timing in a lot of recordings isn't perfect. The timing in most live performances relies on the conductor, band-leader, or drummer so it's usually imperfect. Most modern recordings are perfect & consistent because the musicians are playing to a click-track and/or they contain other programmed MIDI that defines the beat.
