why does song change bpms when I hit the tap button?
What the heck is this randomness? Every once in a while, I hit the tap key besides the bpm numerals. Then the song changes tempo to how fast I am hitting the tap key. So now I cant find out how many bpms the song are. This usually doesnt happen. I cant figure out how I got on this setting, I cant turn it off. Any ideas?
I have my apc 40 in the control surface under the miki sync in preferences, but its not showing op in the input and output tabs. How do i get it to show up there. I have all the drivers for the apc 40 and its all connected. Any ideas?

Don't touch the tap tempo button unless you want to change the tempo
Pretty much very DAW I can think of has it.

Maybe try it with warp off for the track?

Woah just realized this was a serious question.yur2die4 wrote:Maybe try it with warp off for the track?
Yeah, if you leave the track unwarped, changing the set's BPM will not change the speed of the track. So you can hit the tap button to your endless delight to find a rough BPM, etc.

I dont know if its a troll, there is a lot of these types of questions lately from users that seem to be just now starting to use software/posting on internet forums.cmockett wrote:Uh troll thread? Uh command-Z?
It could be that there's a whole new generation of kids or very old people getting interested in making music, and it could be a troll?

No guys, check it out. He's trying to change the set's bpm WITHOUT changing the audio clip's BPM. Ie, regardless of the session's tempo, the clip will play its default speed. This way he can play the clip, tap the tempo out, and figure out its bpm this way.
This is not the work of a troll, just a beginner.

Well, you never post with any consistency. Sometimes you post as newb and sometimes you post as a helpful user, sometimes your a car salesman or software rep or a teenage hacker.selurovlov wrote:rightnathannn wrote:cperezzz has me questioning every new user, you never know when its going to be himinfernal.machine wrote:No guys, check it out.

Next time you should post as an announcer at a football game and just give commentary on everyone's post.

If you want to perform live and you re scared to press a button, you can tape a cap of a coke bottle on the top of the button. So you can't press it anymore. And you'll look cool with your customized midi controler.
