Who is using this
Do you have to delete some timing marks to make your sequence look smoother?
I still do my timing marks manually, but am willing to try different methods provided it works with out creating a bunch of other work, ( if that makes sense ).
If you are using Audacity can you explain how you are doing this.
Thanks

It varies with the song. I do all mine manually as well but the marks are based on how the song moves. If it is slower, I will base my marks on the verse changes. If it is faster paced song, I may break it at major beats but what I sequence there may be colorwash changes. Some songs will repeat the notes but they get softer as the song ends. I will keep the same effect and just change either the color or the number of strands (mega tree) that are affected. I used someone's Carol of the Bells and it is really fast so the effects changed a lot. Some folks don't like the frequent changes; I like to base mine based on the music pace. Note: I only had a megatree and start this year; as I add more RGB models then the timing marks may change.

I use audacity, but I am not trying to get a beat track. When I played with the beats and bars stuff I ended up with way too many timing marks like 180 or more, mostly more. So I manually create a timing mark whenever the music appears to change in a noticeable way. I am not a good sequencer and my goal was to get something that let me know when to change an effect. For the most part I have only 15 - 20 marks per song. It works for me, but I recognize that in some of the songs I tried I needed more. Maybe next year.
YMMV
