Beats Per Minute

[Raymond Coats]

How do I change the beats per minute on imported audio files such as drums!

I don't completely know what you want to do but the only way I know of to assign a bpm to an audio file is in the Inspector under groove clip.

Raymond, If you know what the exact bpm is when you import it , it's easy to change using the stretch tool . I've found it better to do outside of your project. Open a new project, set the bpm in the project to what your audio file is. Import it at the very start of measure 1. Go to the end of the clip and slip edit the end so it stops on a line .  Take note of exactly where it ends on the timeline. Now change the project bpm to what you want the clip to be. Now use the stretch tool and drag the end of the clip back or forward to the same spot where it ended before. Export the clip out. You'll notice some extra processing time when you export it. That's why I like to do it outside of my project. Right click the edit box to select the stretch tool , (same toolbar module where the smart tool is) don't forget to turn it back off ..   mark
