There are a lot of good things good with things going with this script. I really like it as it is a quick clean way of getting animation done.
The good things that i like.
Very clean Ui , a sequencer tab for switchin on and off the ebat divisions. .
Noise modifier addin was nice. The animation extras i haven't taken a look yet.
Another thing is that as it is based on baked key frames you can choose many interopolation styles to give extremely dynamic effects with just keyframe interpolation ! that is super clever i feel.
However there are a few things that have pointed out earlier. for example the BPM should be divided by the number of frames in the scene , i am hopin that the dev has fixed that.
2. The addon is fairly limted to changing XYZ loc rot scale , no other value can be driveable by the sequencer. Now this is fairly limited . A very basic use of this kind of tool would be to manipulate the emission strength and color which is not incorporated.
3. No geometry node compatibility.
4. Price point. Every Developer has the right to pitch their product at the price point they feel is fit. But having said that the AUDIOVIS addon which is around 10 dollars does muchmore. I can drive it with audio loops, midi loops live midi input etc. and any field possible in blender as it uses driver expressions vs. key baking that tempo tools use. i feel the developer should either add more modules or really bring the price to a competetive point where the purchase makes sense. i honestly have buyers remorse after purchasing this addon as i can easily do the same tasks by either baking fcurve loops or AUdiovis.
So in my opinion either this addon was not so expensive or it has to be packed with more features to justfy the price point of AUDIO VIs for eg.

I am still giving four stars as it delivers what it promises.. The only one star i take away due to the points i mentioned above.

it took me a few hours to figure out why it wasn't syncing up bc I exported as 24fps as a png sequence out of blender but when I brought it into my video editor to sync the music it was always off. Turns out the animation was 29fps and I was able to fix it by modifying the fps within premier pro. Search how to change a videos fps with whatever video editing software you're using and that should do the trick!

The plugin now works as intended after an initial bug. The loop length can now be longer than 4 bars. And what's most important: The synchronisation problems have been fixed. I tested it with Blender 3.4.Thanks to the developer for listening and fixing these bugs.

Doesn't work, it doesn't properly time out to the same BPM, it never matches with the songs BPM. It also doesn't allow for you to make markers past the first 4 bar loop. It wont let you adjust the loop length and always defaults to 4. Type in more than that and it corrects it to 4 for the loop. Its kind of useful for a simple loop but have had no luck getting it on proper timing. I am guessing it it because it is created using a higher frame rate in project. I use 24FPS and this does not create proper timing for me.
