[Solved] Introduce more time to beginning of entire project for intro...?

So I have this project with 26 tracks.
 
I want to move the entire project with automation...everything, to allow for 90 more seconds of intro time/music, before the project actually starts, in fact the intro would be blended into the beginning of the project or mixed rather.
 
How do I do this? Of course, part of this question asks for your hints on timing issues regarding playing something before an already recorded song...LOL. What an idiot I am...lesson learned.
 
Thanks

Most importantly...not enough time.

I usually leave at least 2 bars for intro/count in whatever.
 
To move everything you should be able to open the project and hit cont-A hotkey to select everything and then click on the menu bar  process>slide. A dialogue will pop up and you can enter how far you want everything to move.
 
Just to be safe you may want to save-as a copy of your project before making the changes in case something goes wrong.

Also make sure move envelopes with clips is selected in options.

Much safer (and foolproof) is to hit Project > Insert Time/Measures
