Is there anyway of keeping multiple tempos intact in the final mix? Say I'd like somthing playing at 120bpm and another thing at 119 bpm...

sure, you can turn off time-stretching.

Here are some other methods for doing this:

--If you have a long sound file which is not looped, you can do the following: turn Warp on and Loop off in the clip panel. select the first warp marker of one of the sound files (assuming for simplicity that it has only one), and drag the tempo setting so that it is, say, 1% less than the tempo required for it to stay in sync.

--Alternately, put a simple delay without feedback in a slot. Turn off feedback, and set the device to 100% wet, and both left and right to Time rather than Sync. You can automate the delay such that the track is played between 1ms and 300ms out of phase.

--Precise control of the time-varying phase relationship of your tracks may be obtained by editing their warp markers (creating new ones, and/or moving them).
