    Anybody here familiar with the Time Warp functionality?

    Technical issue here, please bear with me.
    One of the differences between Cubase SX2 and Cubase 5 (I skipped the
    versions in between) is that when Time Warping, Cubase will now create a
    tempo event at the end of the audio. When you work your way through a
    song, mapping out the beats and measures, each new tempo event will be
    relative to that one at the end. What you want is for each new event to
    be equal to the previous one, until adjusted by the user. This was the
    behaviour in SX2.

    Say for simplicity that you import a song into an empty Cubase project.
    The project will have the default tempo of 120 bpm. Say that the song is
    exactly 80 bpm throughout. Your first tempo event at beat 1 will be 120.
    With your second tempo event, you adjust the first to 80, but the second
    event itself will have something like 121. You adjust that to 80, but
    the third event will be 123. With every new tempo event, its tempo value
    will drift off up to 300 or down to 0, instead of staying at 80. It
    seems as if every new event should not change the placement (in
    measures/beats) of the end of the audio. But this is useless in most
    situations. I have to keep deleting these unwanted tempo events.

    Is there any way to change this behaviour?

    Thank you for any suggestions.

    Jos.
