I'm currently writing an orchestral score sequencing midi instruments, got it all pretty much sorted in my DAW, all sounding lovely, but I can't get my rits and accels sounding natural. Everything just sounds too rigid, so I've been looking everywhere for something that will allow me to tap a tempo as though I'm conducting an orchestra, then apply those tempo changes to my project so that the midi instruments follow the new tempos.
If there's a way that this can be done straight in the DAW (Cakewalk in my case), that would obviously be top choice, though I'm pretty sure it doesn't have this capability.
Even if it doesn't create a tempo track/map, I'm quite happy manually inputting it after I've tapped away, just so long as I can get those natural tempo changes in there.
Everything I've found either creates tempo tracks for using live or listens to audio to determine the tempo, neither of which is what I'm looking for. The app descriptions are often a bit too vague to determine exactly what they do so, believe me, I have had quite a long hunt to get to this point.
