Can someone help me please.
I have a drum beat, tempo at 65 bpm.
My song is 69 bpm.
How do I get the 65 bpm to 69 bpm?
I am using Sonar X1.

In waiting for a response I have grown old and have looked for my answer online.
So for all those that have looked at this post and not responded in any way, this is what I have found out.

The url above will help you out. Go to the section, "clips follow project."
However one must know how to, "activate the audio snap" first. lol.
That you would find by clicking the word, "views" then scroll down to, "audiosnap palette."
I hope this has helped someone out, while in the process I have figured it out myself.
I appreciate all the help from this forum.
Cheers!

Just 2 hours older in fact you must grow up fast :)
Google always your friend but next time just press F1 to bring up help in Sonar and type "tempo change".
Glad you found your answer...

Alex, Thanks for the reply. Doing as such you suggested didn't resolve the issue I was having.
Let me re-explain if I may.
I found a midi drum in SonarX1, with the Tempo of 65 bpm.
My original song is in fact, Tempo 69 bpm.
I was trying to be able to change the drum tempo alone, to match the project temple of 69 bpm.
As long as the drum clip was a midi I was not able to get the Audiosnap palette to function.
So I exported the clip and made an audio file of it, then imported the audio clip and the Audiosnap palette
is now working.
So at the present I am still trying to figure out exactly how to change it as I described.
I can do it no problem in my Reason5, then export it and re-import into Recycle and get exactly what I want
but I want to learn how to do it in SonarX1 alone. I'm kind of trying to get away from Reason5, although it
is a great DAW in itself.
I even downloaded a pdf, Sonar X1 Power the comprehensive guide, which is very knowledgable.
Basically what I was looking for was a hands on that already knew the process, instead of me having to do all the reading and trial and error.
ps....at my age, 2 hours makes all the difference. :D

If the clip is MIDI, File > Import should bring it in at the project's tempo. That would be the preferred way for best audio quality in the end. There are several options for syncing an audio clip. If 69 and 65 BPM are the exact tempos, the easy way would be Process > Length > 94.2% on the drum clip.
