Does audio snap only work once?

[steve trusty]

Help changing tempo of all tracks on project. Both Midi and Audio.
Original recorded tempo was 110, I sped it up to 117 a couple weeks ago.

Now I’d like to explore 125-135 bpm but every time I change the tempo everything is out of sync again like before I changed the audiosnap settings to change audio tempo with midi.. 

Help!

Changing the tempo of a project with audio in it has limitations. As you increase or decrease the audio will start to degrade quickly as that amount increases. 
So first experiment with the midi part of the song which is not affected by any tempo changes. 
As you work just record scratch vocals or guitar parts until you settle on the right tempo. 
Then start recording your audio parts. 
 

If the audio parts are just loops and samples then it would depend on how much you can stand the artifacts.

I appreciate the advice but that doesn’t apply in this situation. This is a client track that was originally recorded too slow. 
I’m sure changing audio tempos might add artifacts etc I’m ok with that for now.. but I don’t see how it would be limited to 1 time use. It worked fine the first time, why not a 2nd.

Have you rendered every AS affected clip before trying again?

It's not. So long as the following conditions are met, everything should remain in sync as you make or revert additional changes:

- The Timebase of all audio and MIDI clips remains the default Musical and they were in sync with each other and with the timeline/metronome to begin with.

- Audiosnap Follow Project [Tempo] remains enabled on all audio clips in Auto Stretch mode and you have not not locked any clips.

My guess would be that you enabled Audiosnap in some mode other than Auto Stretch before the first change or Audiosnap has somehow become disabled on one or more clips, possibly due to bouncing the clip(s) which will render any stretching permanent and disable Audiosnap. There are other things that could have gone wrong, but those would be the most probable.

Ideally you will have kept an unstretched copy of the project from which you can start over, but even if you didn't, and you bounced some stretching, the original audio will still be available in the audio folder for you to manually recover the original state.

If the recording part is finished, bounce it all to an audio track and open in in another project and experiment with 'Process>Length' to get an idea how fast you/they want it. If there are no glaring artifacts, you can use that length-adjusted track as the single. Easy as pie.
