Adjusting the audio to the project tempo
If you want freely recorded audio to follow a fixed tempo or a different project tempo,
you can use the Set Definition From Tempo dialog to save the tempo information
from the tempo track in the corresponding audio clips.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the audio events that you want to have follow the project tempo.
For example, this could be the individual tracks in a multi-track drum session.
2. On the Audio menu, open the Advanced submenu and select the “Set
Definition From Tempo…” option.
The Set Definition From Tempo dialog opens.
3. Select whether you want to save the tempo information in the project file only
or in the selected audio clips.
Writing the definition into the audio files allows you to use these in other projects,
complete with tempo information.
4. Select if you want to set all tracks to musical time base.
If you do not activate this option, only the tracks containing the selected events are
set to musical time base.
5. Click OK.
The tempo information is now copied into the selected audio clips and the tracks are
set to musical time base. Furthermore, Musical Mode is activated for the audio events.
IMPORTANT
If you have placed audio events referring to the same audio clip at different positions on
the timeline and you apply the “Set Definition From Tempo” function simultaneously to
these events, new audio files are written for all the events except the first.
RESULT
The audio tracks will now follow any tempo changes in the project. Therefore, you
can disable the tempo track and set a fixed tempo for your project or edit the tempo
track for a new tempo map.
