session view - change bpm of all selected clips?

[clay]

im creating a live set in session view. dragging in a lot of clips at different bpms with different bar lengths some 6 bars some 9 bars etc. LIve is not seeming to like non standard bar lenghts and is creating strange bpms for the clips. Im having to go in and set the bpm of each clip individually. If I select more than one clip, the bpm cell in the clip disappears

is there a way to select relevant clips and change the bpm of all of them? seems like it should be a simple thing?

Umm what?

Live works to a single tempo, when you say you're dragging clips in I'm assuming g you mean from an external source?

You need to warp each clip to the current tempo, and then when the global tempo changes so will the clip.

maybe give it a try yourself?

set bpm of session at 117
export some clips out at 117 at different bar lengths including ones not in multiples of 4, like 6 or 9 or even 10 bars.
drag those clips into session view - warp them
see what happens

for me Live tries to predict what each clip's bpm is but it gets it wrong when the bar length isnt a multiple of 4 eg not 4,8,16,32
it also gets the bar length wrong
so i have to go into each of those clip and set the bpm and bar length

hence my question, can i select multiple clips and set the bpm of them all (in bpm cell in clip view)? That would save me heaps of time.

In retrospect maybe I should have got live to create an analysis file for each exported clip? that possibly would have helped when importing back into session view but i usually have that turned off so it doesnt create extra files each time i do a bounce of a song. I will try that next time.

Nah, I'm happy with the way live works and I've never needed to ever go into a clip and change the BPM< it's basically irrelevant when you're using warped clips...

I don’t think BPM is one of those things you can change in multiple clips at once sadly.
