Andrew Rhodes Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hi All! Bit of a query for you all. I'm a bit of a Cakewalk newbie. I've started a song at 140 bpm, so everything I have done is based on that tempo, including audio and some manual MIDI drums for basic bass and rim shot. However, now I've tried adding some standard MIDI drum loops, they are really twice as fast as I want. I suppose my song tempo should really have been 70 not 140bpm! Is there any way of effectively halving the tempo of the MIDI drum loops, but not the rest of the song? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Rhodes Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hmm, I think I've found something - by using smart tool, ctrl + shift, you can just drag the midi clip to twice the size and that does it. Isn't modern technology great! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.r Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Select your MIDI clips, then menu Process > Length, by 50% make sure to check Durations if some of the drums are note-length dependent, like for example a reverse cymbal on some drum machines EDIT: Emmm... to halve the tempo of these clips, choose 200% instead of 50 (guess I need another coffee by now) Edited February 23, 2021 by chris.r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Rhodes Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Ah, yes, that would be more accurate rather than stetching and trying to work out where to stretch to. Thanks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
