Tempo

Im still fairly new to Cakewalk and I had a question on changing tempo of previously recorded tracks. My band recorded a song and they think its a bit too slow. I wanted to know if there was a way to bump the tempo up slightly of the previously recorded tracks.
 
thanks in Advance

    If you are talking about only a couple of BPM you can bounce all of your clips to create one continuous clip per track, then just stretch the tracks by changing the tempo on the control bar.
    Depending on the style of music you are working with (easier to do with repetitive grid-synced electronic stuff) you'll be able to push it more or less BPM. For a traditional rock mix, I'd bet the mix will sound like garbage with any amount of stretching. Worth trying it out though. You can always keep the tracks that respond well and only re-record the ones that don't sound so hot.

    I don't have SONAR on this Chromebook and going from memory (of SONAR Home Studio 6!), I would make a copy of the stereo master mixdown, import it into a new project and use Process>Length to make the song shorter, thus faster.
    Try 95% or even 90% and you will probably not hear any artifacts.
    I'm pretty sure the more modern programs have a similar function, somewhere.
    Have fun!
