... you can designate your audio tracks to conform to samples or I think "ticks". Samples will leave everything in one place if you change your tempo, the other will shift things if you change tempo.
Thanks Dave that got me going at least in a direction. I found this in a Mix Mag description of PT 7:

"In earlier PT software, MIDI data defaults to tick-based timing--bars/beats no matter the tempo change. Audio has always been sample-based. Pro Tools 7 allows for audio and MIDI data to be either sample-based or tick-based at your discretion. Tempo changes only affect the start or sync point of tick-based audio. Tick-based MIDI note data changes duration with tempo changes. Sample-based MIDI events stay fixed to the timeline despite tempo change. This is an incredible capability when composing, editing and manipulating film score music to picture."

Now I gotta try testing it. I'll be at NAMM so maybe I can bust through the 10 deep crowd at the Digi "universe" and get someone to demo too..
