 ==== ☆ Where to start ====
-Before you start you'll want to make sure [[tools|Reaper is set up for charting]], and that you have your [[audio|audio ready; both the lossless main audio file and Demucs DIY stems, or the studio multies if you have them]].

 {{ :wiki_-_bpm_toolbar.jpg?400|}}Now you'll want to find out the general BPM of the song. You can Google it or you can try tapping along to the sound of the audio by clicking the BPM button on the toolbar in Reaper. Once you have a general BPM, edit the tempo marker at 1.1 and put it into there.

 Now its time to line up the start of the audio:
-{{ :wiki_-_waveform_alignment.jpg?300|}}Mark all your audio files, and try and find out where the first played note in the audio will be. Having studio multi-tracks or DIY Demucs stems makes this process easier, as you can more clearly see where the waveform begins. For most songs you should sync up the very start of this first note to the beginning of measure 3.1. For songs outside the 90bpm to 160bpm range, check the section below on how to handle it.

 Sometimes there might be a change in time signature mid-song. This is most common in complex music like prog and jazz, but it also happens in more traditionally structured songs at times. Be on a lookout for changes like this by familiarizing yourself with how time signatures work.
-To change time signature mid-song, add a tempo marker, then double-click on it, check the box that says "Set time signature", and add in the correct time signature. Be aware time signature changes can *only be on a downbeat*, as otherwise Reaper glitches out and starts "eating" measures, meaning you might have to undo parts of the tempo map and remake it from scratch.
