DP5.13 audio w/ tempo changes?
I've been using DP for years now, but never tried to do this. Is it possible when you change tempo in the conductor track that you can easily have all the soundbites you've already recorded to sync (time stretch/compress) with new tempo just like the MIDI?

Yes.
Just select each track and highlight, set its start and end times to whatever portion you need to adjust (I usually just set the start and end times to the full length of the sequence). Then under the "audio" menu you select "adjust soundbites to sequence tempo". It's a good idea to just do two or three at a time, not all the tracks at once. If it's a long sequence I stay on the safe side
and just do one track at a time.
DP will create a bunch of new soundbites with addendums to the names, like
"Kick.1", "Strings.1", etc., for each time you do an adjust soundbite command. If the tempo change is more than 8 BPM in either direction, your results may vary - I've sometimes ended up with soundbites that were out of whack because they just didn't "adjust" well. Usually these are things like string pads, organ parts,guitar solos, anything that doesn't have a lot of percussive transients. Make sure you backup your project first before you start adjusting soundbites.
