Tempo question on Sony ACID 7.0 -ACID Product Family

Subject:Tempo question on Sony ACID 7.0 Posted by: NyghtStrix Date:8/13/2010 7:47:58 PM Hey guys. I've been a user of the program since 2009 last year. I compose my own music. With one of my pieces, the tempo switches from 68 to 64 to 100. As I'm recording I also use the Metronome. Is it possible to change a particular spot of a timeline to another tempo temporarily? For example... Bar 1-10 is 68 then Bar 11-15 is 64? So this means, when I'm recording a .wav, the metronome will automatically go from 68 to 64. Please ask if you don't understand.

Your example shows a beginning tempo, then a change to another tempo. Musically speaking, I wouldn't use the term "temporary" in that instance. That's simply a "tempo change". Musically, a piece can have many tempo changes and of course, ACID can accomodate those. The musical connotation of the term "temporary" would mean that Bars 11-15 are set to 64 bpm for now and then later Bars 11-15 (the same 5 Bars) would be changed to some other tempo; say 72 bpm. ACID can accomodate that too but it becomes more complicated/difficult the more tracks you have in your project. I believe what you are talking about is simply inserting tempo changes. Musically speaking, a temporary tempo is very different than a tempo change. Message last edited on8/13/2010 9:35:16 PM bysodbuster-ca.

As I'm recording I also use the Metronome. Is it possible to change a particular spot of a timeline to another tempo temporarily?

For example...

Bar 1-10 is 68 then Bar 11-15 is 64?
So this means, when I'm recording a .wav, the metronome will automatically go from 68 to 64.
