I think your ‘instructor’ is very much missing the point.

Playing along to The Beatles is in fact far more useful and instructive than playing Ticket To Ride to a click

If you’re making an EDM version of Ticket To Ride, then by all means, a fixed tempo is almost certainly necessary.
But if not...

My point in posting is that it’s far too common these days for people to obsess about ‘perfect’ tempo (and tuning, for that matter) even when it’s in fact antithetical or at least not HELPFUL to making good records of certain types.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I sincerely appreciate and understand your counsel.

FYI.

I ended up splitting the imported song at every four measures. Then I used Elastic Audio to make each 4-bar segment fit my tempo.

Worked pretty darn good, was fast, easy and now I have a nice reference track.

Now if I could only sing like Keith Relf!

That's really good to hear!
Not taking credit or anything, but it sounds like you followed my recommendation earlier in the thread.

You want to adjust the recording to fit a fixed tempo, and that means using elastic audio and manual work.

The basic procedure that I use at least goes like this:

- Find the appx. tempo of the track by playing it, click on the tempo field in transport window, and tapping 'T' key. You'll see the tempo value will change to match your tapping.

- Find a good bar one in the track and place it on the grid on, say bar five. turn on the metronome and the tempo should match for a few beats until the recording starts to drift.

- Turn on elastic audio polyphonic and set the track to ticks instead of samples.

- Set the track to warp view.

- Place a warp marker on your bar one.

- Find, say bar one of verse two, and place a warp marker there too. If it's not on the grid line, drag it there.

- Find bar one of verse three, place warp marker and line it up to the grid.

Repeat until the end of the song, and you will have the audio roughly adjusted to match the grid and the tempo you chose in step one.

Play the track and the click, and insert more markers and fine tune it until you're happy with the song matching the click.

At least this is how I do it.

Oh, and here's a lot of tutorials on this on youtube.
That’s some awesome advice! Thanks!

It worked a treat!
Managed to get an old metal song I was involved in 30 years ago with varying tempo all over the place, plus planned tempo and meter changes all synced up to the grid thanks to your advice!
