Subject:accelerando or retards??? Posted by: Bison_Flower Date:8/14/2002 9:57:09 AM Most music doesn't change tempo abruptly, but gradual tempo changes add a lot of color. Unfortunately I can't seem to gradually change tempo in SF 6.0. We have pith shift that can be done gradually, but I see nothing for time stretching. Does anyone know if there is a way to smoothly change from eg.: 108 BPM to 80 BPM (and vice versa) over 8 measures? This would help immensely in crossfading. Please note - I've read the matching tempo FAQ - I DO NOT want to match tempos, I want to CHANGE tempos gradually. The best I've found is to time stretch 110% repeatedly over and over again on progressively smaller segments of music. This puts terrible distortion into the music and sounds awefull! Ideas?
