Btw someone pointed out that in the full track warping demonstration I knew the tempo and wanted to know how to find it if you don't. I left that out as this was more about how 8 differs from 7, but you would just look at the first 8-16 beats and manually change the tempo up and down until you see the transients line up with the bar display.
Detailed is my forte' if anything I used to get complaints doing workshops I was too detailed hehe
That's a good question I think it's due to the fact that tempo and sample rate doing coincide. I noticed this way back with Samplitude in 2002 or so. It was one of the first DAWs to use an audio/sample based grid as opposed to midi/ppq. So even though it did copying and pasting on a tempo grid it would always go off a little due to rounding errors.
Now with todays DAWs they dont suffer to the same extent that Samplitude did but it's the only thing I can think of is that rounding errors due to single samples not quite lining up with the ppq grid. Just a guess though.
