How to match SI drum kit bpm to backing track?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm using backing tracks downloaded from karaoke version, abd i am replacing the click track intro with hi hat as it sounds nicer. How do I match the bpm of the backing track and its click track to the SI hi hat? I can do this manually by moving the event but it takes a while. Does the bpm of the backing track need to be matched to the CW track or is there an easier way?

You need to match the tempo of the Cakewalk project to the backing track tempo.  If you know what it is just enter that tempo in Cakewalk. If you don't know it you will have to use a tool to help you figure it out. 

Then just put some quarter midi notes for the SI hi hat on the SI track using the piano roll view.

If the tracks are audio not midi drag a percussion track to the timeline and that creates a tempo map. 
There is also a tap tempo icon in the tempo inspector. ( the tool mentioned above)
