jerrydpi Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 This afternoon I needed to make a Project that has 5 different Songs, all at different Tempo's. I created a new Project with 5 audio tracks, and in the past when I've drug a mp3 to one of the tracks I would get a message asking if I wanted to import the original Tempo, and I would "say" yes. But this time I didn't get that Message. So I have to make the Tempo correct for the first Song, but when I do, now the Tempo of the second Song is wrong. What did I do wrong?

David Nahmani Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 That audio file may not contain any tempo information. Also note that mp3 is not a production format, it's a distribution format. I would recommend you work with PCM formats such as AIFF or WAV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrydpi Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 I just drug a WAV File, same result as the MP3's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Yes, that wasn't a solution for your issue, more of a general recommendation. If your file doesn't have tempo information embedded then you won't see the alert you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your file doesn't have tempo information embedded then you won't see the alert you mentioned. Fair enough, but as I have always bounced my Projects in the exactly the same way (as a WAV first, and then as a MP3), every time I've drug a file onto a track of a Project (created to have multiple Songs, with the purpose of setting levels on each Song as close as possible), I have gotten the Tempo Message I alluded to, so why not this time? If I had to guess, it's the Project I opened. This time I opened LPX differently, and I chose creating a New Blank Project instead of using a Template that I call Jerry's New Song Template. I'll see if that makes a difference, and if it does, I'll be curious as to why it works, and why the made from scratch Project doesn't.

I believe it asks only for the first audio file you're dragging, then it no longer asks as you drag more files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
