Thanks for the great vid. Can you suggest a way to put drums on material already recorded?
Do you need to add sequenced drums to something that was recorded without a click track? Open the arrange window > view (in the arrange) > global tracks. Then view > configure global tracks… and check beat mapping. From there I create a sample instrument and tap to the beat of the song for the duration of where the drums need to be. You then highlight that region and press the ‘beats from region’ button in that beat mapping track header. Specify quarter notes or whatever you tapped – you’ll see the tempo changes drawn in. You just need to be careful about moving the entire song around after that, you’ll need to move the tempo with it.
