-{(echo)}- Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Alright, I'm working on a song, and I need to change the tempo mid-song. I couldn't find in anything the help file, and I couldn't figure it out just by clicking on random stuff(my usual way of figuring things out:-D), so I thought I'd ask y'all. There's a few other songs I need this for, so please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrypnyk Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Right click tempo > create automation clip. it really is trial and error when adjusting the automation clip, try and zoom in and get as close as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Tempo is definitely the hardest to automate because even if you draw a linear curve, it will actually end up resulting in a curved output because as the tempo slows down it moves along the curve slower, try using a tensioned curve where more movement takes place near the end. That will get it closer to linear, or you could try automating it by hand and move it down at a steady rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 If you want to make a hard tempo change, don't bother with automation clips; just go to a new, blank pattern, right click the tempo marker, and hit "edit events." Here's a poorly made movie that illustrates how to do it. xD http://www.darkesword.com/forumpics/2009-02-10_2358.swf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutritious Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 What DS said. Even zoomed in completely, automation clips aren't very precise when it comes to tempo. Events are the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-{(echo)}- Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thanks DS, I did indeed want a hard tempo change, and automation clips seem like alot of work just to change the tempo. =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 can't you see what the tempo specifically is when you're mousing over the edit events window in the 'hints' location (just under the menubar where file and all that is)? i've never had an issue with changing tempi because i can always see what the tempo will at at that point.

DarkeSword Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Yes, you can. And you know, if you really want to use automation clips, just change the curve to a stairs curve. Hooray for step functions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
