XP BASICS

To use Edit Tempo, first highlight a selection in the waveform display. The

selection made should be equal in size (or an integer multiple) to the length

of a beat or measure. The easiest way to tune a selection to be exactly one

measure long is to play the selection looped and change the selection points

until a constant downbeat is heard.

Sound Forge XP uses the current tempo to display measures in the Time Ruler.

START, END, LENGTH, INPUT FORMAT

Determines the selection used to calculate the tempo based on the Input Format.

SELECTION LENGTH IN BEATS

Sound Forge XP calculates the current selection’s length in beats.

BEATS PER MINUTE (1.0 TO 1000.0)

Sound Forge XP calculates this tempo value depending on your selection

length, selection type (Measures or Beats), and Beats per Measure.

BEATS PER MEASURE (1 TO 32)

Use to specify the number of beats in a measure when selecting a measure (e.g.,

4 for most pop music). It can also be used to specify beats per selection length

if the selection is larger than one measure.
