Thanks for the links to creating a beat-meter, which made me realize I needed a separate beat track after I had exported my audio and shut down the program.
Couple more tips I learned about that process:
1. Songs that have really fast beats need to be "noted" as you go through the song rather than trying to hit all those beats yourself. Simply go back to those areas later and add in appropriate beats manually. I say "noted" because you don't want to mix up your other markers with those parts and I don't know of any way to distinguish one marker from another.
2. If beats seem a little off (mine did) you can simply drag over the beats that were added, select them, and drag them to the left or right. + or - 1 or 2 frames is usually all that's needed for perfect sync. Make sure you turn off the snapping feature before doing so as well.
3. When you have all the beats generated for the song (they should be on Audio 1 track), you can delete your song from Audio track 2 and export only the beats for beat-meter generation. The beat song should automatically match the length of your music.
4. I would advise making a variety of other beats aside from the single beat so that you can quickly insert them into those "special" areas more efficiently as well as providing consistency between beats.
