Fit grid to audio tempo

What videos are you referring to please ?

The Presonus videos that are linked in the second post from Gerran. If you did not watch them you should if you want a chance
to correct the issues you are having. If you did and they didn't help then the real fun may just be starting. I understand what a mind twist this can be.

Maybe, if you are willing you could send someone here (if one is willing) part of the tune to try and line it up for you.
I would offer but the little I have done as been harder than expected. I have used Tab To Transient to line events up initially.
Anyways, good luck!! Hope you get it sorted 🖖

No for me its super important to have a music perfectly sync to the grid.
Ask a dee jay if it is not important...

Of course most of us who work with pop, rock etc want to be as close as possible to being in time. I just read the part about using to the 100th and interpreted that as fussing over tempos that read 132.446 BPM. As in a crazy resolution. Myself I find increments of .10 are very accurate. .100 seems a little excessive compulsive.

Remember, with the repeating loops this is a fixed tempo song (unless you really want to tweak timing inside the loop too). In a fixed tempo song after 3 minutes 0.01BPM is about a 1/32 note out of whack. Still small, but noticeable.

I understand very well how fussy it sounds but i try thoroughly every advices one gave me on this thread and it worked once magically since im not able to reproduce it so i gave up about this idea.
Thanks a lot for your help guys because i learned few interesting things during the process anyway !
 
So im back on this problem...
But this time i had a perfectly sync song to the grid at first but i realised few sessions later (after moving some parts with the arranger track or anything else idk) now i have a very small offset to the grid.
The offset is " a dozen sample" long but even its not acceptable for me.
I am using a DAW made with mathematic which can not fit the grid when i hit the function "Duplicate" too many times ?
I am lost and a bit discouraged to identify the problem...
If anyone has a solution he is more than welcome !

Maybe a snap to zero crossing thing.

Or you duplicated with snap to grid off. When you do that n times with an event which is a fraction too long you'll be n fractions off in the end.

Create a tempo track.
If the song has varying tempo, adjust the tempo with as many points and adjust to suit your song.
When you play, the grids (bars beats etc.) will follow your song.
You can later add midi to the existing session also, all will follow song tempo.
You can also write the tempo into the tracks and delete the tempo map in the end if required.
I believe, there are some videos on You Tube from Fender Studio on this.

Ok im talking about centh of seconds here, its a lenght of 20 samples maximum i think so is tempo track a good solution for such a precise task please ?
 
I never used a DAW duplicating regions without any centh of seconds's mistakes anyway on the long run of creating a song...
So maybe its me by deselecting snap to grid or something but here for my last song im almost sure it is not due to this mistake so if it light the bulb of anyone feel free to tell me cheers.

Sorry what do you mean by snap to zero exactly please ?

snap-to-zero crossing makes cuts at zero crossing points to prevent pops/clicks. enter 'snap to zero crossing' in the AI assistant
 
I often do it manually tapping in a snare beat where the timing falls - you can then adjust to those beats.
