How do you align a live performance to the beat grid in a DAW?

To align a live performance to a DAW beat grid, first process the full recording with the Live Music BPM Grid tool. Import the corrected file into your DAW, detect its steady BPM, and set the project tempo to that value. Bars and beats can then stay aligned while you add loops, MIDI, programmed drums, stems, backing tracks, or overdubs.
