Tempo changing in X1

Hi - little confused here.

You inserted a tempo change at what point in the song?  The beginning?  Middle?

Please elaborate a bit on the tracks/clips in the project, and how you changed the tempo.

Thanks, 

Bob Bone

Are you talking about Audio or Midi?

One is easy

The other one is a PITA

"You can edit all your tempos  (tempi?) there."


Perhaps tempae, tempoes, Tampa, or tampon?

What I need is 2 different things:
1) For example, I´m working on a project which is 135, and I think it´s too slow, I want 145, so how can I change the whole track tempo? I have both midi and audio recordings.

This is a pain but doable.

1. Insert now time to start of project
2. Select Project-->Insert Tempo Change
3. Make sure "Change the most recent tempo" is selected and set tempo.
4. Open tempo view (Alt+Shift+5) and delete any other tempos other than the project start.
5. To change the audio to fit see this video - in fact it goes through the whole process from start to finish albeit in a slightly different way.

2) Another example: I´m working on a project with tempo 130 and I want chorus part to be 145. how to select the chorus and change the tempo? 

This one is a little harder as you'll need to split audio clips, bounce them down and then repeat most of the above but on a section rather than the whole thing. This time though you'll be inserting a new tempo at the Chorus start in step 3 instead of changing the most recent one.

THANK YOU!!

You're welcome.

Thanks for that Karl,

ive been waiting for an answer for what seems like forever from support re the same problem, which is the second time running they have failed to reply at all, you clearly know far more than they know about their own product.

It is a pain in the rear - but sometimes calling tech support is better than waiting for a response via email.  That's the regrettable reality.  I know that is difficult, calling from the UK and all.


But the folks in the forum are collectively pretty good - so please jump in and post questions and problems and such, and you will most often find good assistance here (unless folks wake up crabby).

Damon777, has the Tempo function actually changed? AFAIK, there has never been an "Delete existing tempo changes" -kind of feature in SONAR (that would be great to have!) for changing the project tempo. SONAR assumes the changes in the middle of the project are there for a purpose, and are not meant to be changed even when original tempo is changed.

The two usual traps people fall into:
-The project has copy-pasted MIDI-clips. Each of them has a tempo definition in the beginning. Numerous times
  during the years I've had to go through the clips/Tempo view to delete those. I don't remember if there's a "Paste Special" -option for not pasting tempo changes, maybe there is and I haven't noticed??
- You have tested different tempos somewhere in the middle of the project and so inserted tempo changes.

I don't think the function has changed has it? However the presence of other tempo changes in a project will give the impression it has if previous projects didn't have them.

AFAIK there has always been the change recent and insert new.

Maybe the project template you are using has tempo information already in it.

Wow. I did not know that Cakewalk support would even address a problem about how to use the program. I assumed they confined their help to technical problems regarding the code not running as designed.

Hi Jonesey, 

yes, the tempo view in both X1 and X2 shows just the original and new tempo but only in X2 do i have to delete the original to retain the new but at least im aware of what i have to do now.
