Help on Tempo Adjustment in Live 9

Post by Rokki21 » Wed Sep 18, 2013 9:12 am

Hi everyone, while mixing one of my previous tracks I came across an interesting loop in the track. I stripped it out and saved the project under a new name to come back to it later.

I was having a look at it last night. It is a lot slower than the track it came from and the loop itself is something like 1.2.2 bars in length. Because of this length its difficult to format it back to any kind of grid format. If I slow the tempo down the whole loop slows down. It is made up of midi only over 7 tracks.

Is there anyway to adjust the tempo and grid behind the midi data without actually adjusting the midi notes? I’d like to reduce tempo to fit the loop into say 2 bars.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Rokki

Hi,

here´s how I do it:

Resample your 7 midi tracks to a new audio track. Solo the audio track and turn off warp. Now you can adjust Live´s tempo to fit 2 bars of it´s grid to the resampled audio clip. All that´s left now that you have the correct tempo is to stretch the midi notes so they fit within the 2 bars you need.

Hopefully that made sense :)

I'd select the midi notes in a track, and stretch it out to be 1 or 2 bars. Then adjust the tempo.

Then I'd go into each other clip and stretch those too.

A little time consuming, but once you're done you can move on to awesomeland.
