Preferences/Editing/Tempo PROBLEM! -ACID Product Family

Subject:Preferences/Editing/Tempo PROBLEM! Posted by: dkistner Date:10/19/2002 5:56:57 AM I sometimes work in very slow tempos for drones and background textures. Unlike in the first 4.0, 4.0a build 237 does not allow me to change the slow end of the tempo setting to below 40. It's gotta be 29, and I cannot get it to that. This is a DRAG! What's the IMMEDIATE workaround, because I have work I have to get out! Woke up at 4:30 a.m. to do it, too, because I'm behind schedule enough without this surprise snafu.

Subject:RE: Preferences/Editing/Tempo PROBLEM! Reply by: slcrz Date:10/19/2002 6:32:20 AM get all of u tracks in LOOP mode and double the number of beats of each track... in that case if u set the minimum tempo to 40bpm and u double the beats number u'll get a equivalent tempo of 20 Bpm... hope this help !
Subject:RE: Preferences/Editing/Tempo PROBLEM! Reply by: pwppch Date:10/19/2002 11:54:57 AM Any tempo entry made in the list editor is ignored. ACID uses the project tempos and the time line tempo markers exclusively when it comes to MIDI. Basically, all tempo Meta events in MIDI files are ignored by ACID. Peter

Peter, please address this "40 is lowest acceptable tempo" problem ASAP! If you've got to hard-code a minimum in your code, make it something like 10. Please!

Subject:RE: Preferences/Editing/Tempo PROBLEM! Reply by: dkistner Date:10/22/2002 5:00:52 AM No, TeeCee, definitely not good info. :(
Subject:RE: Preferences/Editing/Tempo PROBLEM! Reply by: TeeCee Date:10/22/2002 9:06:19 AM You could rework your MIDI loops, still not good info, though. Unless there's a quick way to convert them to cut time (or is it double time). TeeCee
