Subject:Tempo Change Posted by: frustratedrockstars Date:6/23/2011 2:29:31 PM Hello, If I want to change the tempo of my entire project. Is there an easy way to do this so all wavs and midis change pitch/tempo together?
Subject:RE: Tempo Change Reply by: jackn2mpu Date:6/24/2011 5:30:29 AM Changing pitch & tempo are two separate things; changing one doesn't necessarily change the other, otherwise you'd have the celebrated Chipmunk effect. Changing the tempo in Acid won't change the pitch. And changing the pitch in Acid (a separate process) won't change the tempo. IOW, there's no easy, one-step way to do what you want AFAIK Jack
Subject:RE: Tempo Change Reply by: pwppch Date:6/24/2011 8:29:18 AM The simple answer is to set the tempo at the bottom of the track header area. This will affect all MIDI tracks, and audio tracks that contain ACID loops or beat mapped audio files. To change the pitch, you set the key ACID is in by using the key setting next to the tempo settingnat the bottom of the track area. This will pitch MIDI tracks and looped tracks IFF they have correct key information. Peter
Subject:RE: Tempo Change Reply by: frustratedrockstars Date:6/24/2011 4:42:09 PM I see. Yes, the drum loops (thanks Joe Vitale!) adjust and Midi adjust. However, I want to slow the project from 88 bpm to 86 bpm. So, the midi would need to change less than a key as the guitars, bass & vocal would need. Just looking for an easy fix to avoid re-cutting everything.

Subject:RE: Tempo Change Reply by: frustratedrockstars Date:6/25/2011 6:14:35 AM Hey Peter, I think I got it now. Some of my tracks were "one-shot" so they were playing out of sync/pitch when I adjusted the tempo. As long as everyting is "beatmapped" it will change tempo while preserving pitch, correct? I didn't realize that. Looks like I overthought it :-) Thanks!
