Can I have Different Tempo in the Arrangement Window.

Post by charles2000 » Tue Apr 11, 2006 1:02 am

I have 20 tracks that I warped at different tempo, 85-120 bpm . I set it up in the arrangement window , but a few track play too fast, I would like to have different tempo, Like track 1-6 play @ 90bpm and 7-12 play @106 and so on. Is this possible.

Thanks Guys.

no


the tempo can only go at one speed, globally, at any one time.

you can automate a change in the tempo through the arrangement page, use a slider or knob to control the tempo or use the scenes (if you name the scene 118 bpm for example, then activate that scene the tempo will jump to that value).
MBP 2.4 & a shit load of Faderfoxes!

if warping is not important to what you're doing in terms of lining up to the grid, then each clip can playback at whatever "tempo" you want, in re-pitch mode, by adjusting the individual clip tempo.
