Can someone help me remove the cloud on confusion I have about midi Notes in Clips and what happens when I copy/paste them vs importing them. (see explanation below)
I have a song which I was informed was 65 BPM - So I set this as the tempo imported the tracks Aligned with the beat and hooray all the verses and Chorus aligned with the start of a bar. So I created markers for all the beginnings of verses etc..
I then went looking through my "library" of drum patterns for a decent beat and possibly some drum fills.
All my patterns sounded very ploddy at 65bpm but great at 130bpm (i.e. double) so mathematically it just means playing the drums at twice the speed.
Every time I try to copy & paste the drums and/or import them they go at 65bpm (which is the defined tempo of the song)
If I change the tempo of the song to 130bpm all the other midi I have now plays at double the speed...
I have no trouble editing at 65bpm as it just means notes are 16ths instead of 8ths (although that is the mathematician speaking in me not the musician)
Is there any easy way to take one of my drum midi patterns, cut/paste into 65bpm song but achieve it at double the speed. I am happy to alter the tempo at any point just so that it arrives playing at a decent speed.. Not sure If I could use export and import to achieve better results than copy & paste.
N.B. My drum patterns are stored in another CbB project.
