Subject:Can I edit the BPM for just one track?

Hello,

I love ACID, but I have one complaint. Let's say I have 2
tracks, one is a drum loop and one is a vocal sample. When
i lower the BPM of the drum loop to make it slower, it also
lowers the BPM of the vocal sample and causes it to sound
very weird with a lot of echoes, which basically ruins
everything i'm trying to do. Is there a way to lower the
BPM of just one part - or one track - of a file that i'm
making, because this is making me very angry!

Thanks a lot!

Right click on the track you want to slow down and
select 'Properties' from the menu. Now at the bottom of the screen
adjust the number of beats for your sample. This will stretch or
compress the loop. Not exactly a BPM input, but the results should be
what you want.
