tjallen55 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) I have a project with 19 audio tracks. 1 is an imported stereo scratch track and 18 are recorded drum mics. I used the scratch track to record drums at 144 bpm. Everything was fine. I wanted to group the drum tracks and time align the drum beats to tighten them up. So I made a “Save As” copy first for backup. Somehow my 18 drum tracks have changed to 134 bpm. Original project tempo was set to Keep at 144. Very frustrating. Even the back up copy has done this. How can the tracks tempo just change. And I cant get it back. Also the scratch track aif file has got off tempo different than the drum tracks. I had to reimport it to get back to original tempo. Also, before the Save As, I had grouped the drum tracks (take tracks) and checked Editing and Quantize-Locked.

Or is this something you're seeing visually? Is the project tempo still 144 or did it change? If you play the audio files in the Finder, do they play at their original tempo?

tjallen55 Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 I can see it and hear it. Project tempo did not change. It’s still 144 Keep. I have not tried playing any of the audio files from the finder yet. I did try moving (copy/paste) the regions to a new project set at 144. That did not fix it. The files show as around 134 bpm using the Smart Tempo analyzer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Is Flex & Follow turned on in the Region inspector? Do the files play at their original tempo in the Finder (using Quick Look)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjallen55 Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) Flex and Follow is off. I’ll need to test the files in the finder. I have Take tracks, so I’m not really sure which files to test. I was looking at them in the Audio folder.

Solution tjallen55 Posted June 1, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted June 1, 2022 I think I found the problem. The project sample rate changed from 48 to 44.1. When I change it back to 48 the project tempo is fine. I have no idea how the sample rate changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
