edurbrow Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I recorded an audio track to a click but broke away from the tempo at the end to slow down. I then made a midi part. I figured I could just change the tempo to get it to match what the audio does, but the audio slows down too. How can I keep the audio as it was recorded and program in a tempo to match it at the end? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Make sure that you turn off flex or the follow tempo button in the region inspector for that region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edurbrow Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Thank you. I couldn't find the follow tempo button, but turning off flex did the trick. The audio appeared to move and line up to the beats as I adjusted tempo. So, just out of curiosity, once a tempo map is created, can I then turn flex back on and tweak spots?

edurbrow Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 On a related note, if I have a project with lots of audio and midi regions throughout various tracks, how can I change the tempo and get everything to keep the same relative position? In this case would I turn on flex for all audio regions? Would the audio compress or expand? I just now tried to test this out, but I cannot figure out how to select all the tempo events and move them in the Golbal tracks > tempo. I can select them all by clicking on the edge of the header but when I try to grab one so I can drag it up or down, it deselects the other tempo events.

Eric Cardenas Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 So, just out of curiosity, once a tempo map is created, can I then turn flex back on and tweak spots? No. You will have to Export the new tempo to the audio files first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edurbrow Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 I figured it out. You have to click on the line that connects the tempo changes and not the points. So I selected all, moved them all up and audio seems to play back right in sync. It must time shrink/stretch the audio automatically. Very cool. Doing this with alternatives is much better than varispeed which taxes my processor severely. Now I don't understand what you mean about exporting the new tempo to the audio files first. This was in regard to my original question about creating a tempo map. So now that I have a tempo map and the midi files match the audio (with flex turned off), how do I do that? I searched in the manual and couldn't find it. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Your recorded file has the old tempo information embedded because you made the tempo change to match your recording. Select the audio region and choose Edit > Tempo > Export Tempo Information to Audio File to embed the new tempo map into your original recording.
