Beats per minute

Post by Jane38 » Wed Apr 23, 2008 10:00 am

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to use this software to speed up music for my running training, and for simply speeding up tracks, it's faultless. Thing is, I have to do it using the slider % rather than stipulating beats per minute (BPM) as this section of the options doesn't appear to be effective.

Problem is - I'd like all my tracks to run at the same BPM for the sake of continuity and I can't get them the same doing them individually like this - anyone found a way round this?
Many thanks, Jane.

Try playing with the "Transcription Tool" to find the % change in speed that you need.
For example,

If setting the "transcription speed" to 1.3 makes the tempo correct, then use the "change speed effect and set it to 130%.
If setting the "transcription speed" to 0.8 makes the tempo correct (80% of original speed), then use the "change speed effect and set it to -20%.
