Help with adjusting MIDI tempo to sync to audio

Post by waterstrum »

I have a multitrack session that was imported from raw audio files.
The BPM tempo in DP was set to 81, but that was not my intention, the session was supposed to be click free.
The same day, I added MIDI parts.
Everything sounds great and the MIDI parts are locked in.

I turns out that the session now needs a click at 134.
The original session was clocked at 134 bpm.
When I change the sequence tempo from 81 to 134, the MIDI info no longer syncs up.

I've scanned the manual and the forum.

How do I make the MIDI info conform to the tempo change?

Thanks
All is well

Lock the tracks (Tracks window)before you change the sequence tempo. All events will stay relative to each other under the new tempo.

Thanks Dave!

You nailed it.
I had forgotten about the lock tracks function.
Perfect solution.
All tracks are now in sync with the new click.

Much appreciation to you, MOTU and Motunation.
All is well
