Hi guys,

Does anyone know a way to do a gradual tempo shift in scene view.

I am part of a three piece, I have just stemmed out all our tracks so that we can play our songs live, they all have a set tempo apart from one.

In the session for the original song I have automated a tempo shift on the master. I now need for live to able to follow this tempo automation in scene view of my live session. I play synths with heavily arpegiated sounds that need to sync in time through the tempo change.

I can probably work around it but I was wondering if anyone had a solution to achieving a gradual tempo shift is scene view.

Thank You very much.

My guess is that you will need to use a dummy clip with a tempo automation to accomplish this. If you have never used one before you should be able to search "dummy clip" in these forums and find a pleothra of explanations on it.

You can do it manually in 1.0 bpm increments by highlighting the tempo in the upper-left, then using the up or down arrows.

If you hold down shift when you do this, you can do it in 0.1 bpm increments.

STRATEGY

Thank you for the replies guys. I have worked out how to use a dummy clip that controls the tempo in session view. The problem I have is that I need to tempo change to be exactly the same curve over time as the automation on the master for the original song.

It would be great if I could copy the tempo automation from the master channel in arrange view and then apply it to the new clip in session view.

Any ideas? Thank you!
