Drums – tempo match to MIDI

ORIGINAL: Ned



Could somebody please help – I have some MIDI files at 230 bpm to which I would like to add drum loops (or MIDI drums).
My problem is that is that most existing loops or MIDI drums sound like machine gun fire at this temp. – Is there any way I can slow the drums down , keep them in sync, and still keep my melody at the same tempo?
Many thanks,
Ned

One idea: slow down the MIDI machine guns to 230/2 = 115, that should sound more natural. One way to achieve that is:

"The Process-Fit to Time command opens the Fit to Time dialog box, which you can use to stretch or shrink a selection so that it ends at a specific time, expressed in either measure:beat:tick (MBT) or hours:minutes:seconds:frames (SMPTE) format. This command gives you a choice of modifying the events or modifying the underlying tempo. This is useful when you want to alter a portion of a project to have an exact length. The start time of the selection does not change, but the end time is altered as necessary to fit the required time interval."
