altering a song's tempo

Hello all,
I have a song that is recorded at a tempo of 81.6 bpm, and I would like to raise that to 93 bpm. I understand that the audio will become pitched higher which is cool. Any suggestions on the best way to do this. I know there is some mathematical formula for doing this, just don't know what it is. And yes, this is for a hip hop re-mix. Thanks.

    If you just want to increase tempo, then convert the audio clips into groove clips and use the stretch function. That way it'll maintain original pitch.

    while using groove clips you may be able to hear artifacts. You can reduce them with correcting the slices in the groove-clip-editor if they are not correctly identified.

    That's possible however if he intends to increase tempo from 82 to 93, the chances are very low. Usually the automatic slicing works OK for no big tempo changes.

    That`s correct. But depends also on the audio material. Drumloops sound fine most of the time, other material needs often correction. I hope that Sonar 6 will give us an improved version of beat detection in a more LIVE-style so that you can quantize audio. Project5 also doesn`t offer this. If Project5 could do so it would clearly complete SONAR. There is not much left for me at SONAR that I want, but a GrooveMatrix, audio-quantize, tempo-to-clip-length and "toggle record on/off while playback".
