That’s cause The Cult plays this track very precise (click track?).
I checked with Guitar Pro, and I just had to move the starting point of the song a little and then squeeze some at the end to get the right tempo. It worked.
By the way, this is how to do that:
Google’s AI gives a great explanation ( make sure to set “Create Score Tempo Automations from Sync Points”)::
To synchronize audio with your tablature in Guitar Pro, you’ll need to use the audio track feature and adjust sync points to align the audio with the score. You can import an audio file and then add sync points (usually by double-clicking above the waveform) to fix the timing of the audio relative to the tablature. Fine-tune the synchronization by moving these sync points.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
- Import Your Audio:
- Open Guitar Pro and navigate to the file menu, selecting “Import Audio” or “Audio Track”.
- Choose your desired audio file (e.g., MP3, WAV).
- Add Sync Points:
- Locate the waveform representation of your audio track within the Guitar Pro window.
- Double-click above the waveform to create a new sync point. These points indicate where the audio and tablature should be aligned.
- Adjust Sync Points:
- If the score and audio don’t align perfectly, you’ll need to adjust the sync points.
- Double-click on a sync point triangle to “fix” it (it will turn white), preventing it from moving when other points are adjusted.
- Move sync points by dragging them horizontally to fine-tune the timing.
- Double-click the vertical bar to cancel any changes to sync point positions.
- Fine-tuning:
- For more precise alignment, create additional sync points throughout the song, especially in areas with key changes or rhythmic shifts.
- Synchronize the beginning and end first, then adjust the middle sections.
- Work from left to right, synchronizing the beginning and progressively aligning the rest of the song.
- Tempo Considerations:
- Sync points take over the tempo of the score, modifying it.
- You can create sync points from score tempo automations and vice versa.
- If needed, you can also deactivate the audio track to revert to the original tempo of the score.
By following these steps, you can effectively synchronize audio files with your Guitar Pro tablatures for transcription, learning, or practice.
