Changing The Detected Tempo Of A Sound
You must be in Adjust To Project Tempo mode to change the detected tempo of a sound.
If the sound's detected tempo is wrong, you can adjust it via the Detected Tempo drop down control. The original
detected tempo will show up with an * next to it in case you need to restore it to the original detected tempo.

Sounds longer than 30 seconds will show the actual beats in the Loop Editor. This can be extremely useful as each
beat will show a tempo at that beat point. Most songs do not keep a constant beat and drift, in addition to having
varying tempos, keys and time signatures. Therefore, you can trim a sound and use a tempo within that trimmed
area.

In fact, you can set the detected tempo to the average tempo within the active loop by clicking the Use Average
Tempo In Active Loop button!

Half Tempo button!

Pitch Shifting Sounds
You can change a sound's pitch by clicking the Sound Details Tab on the bottom of the window. If you want the
sound to obey key changes on the time line or be relative to the project's key, you should look into setting the key of
the sound.
Do Not Fix Pitch
If you don't care about changing the sound's pitch, you can choose Do Not Fix Pitch on the Sound Details Tab. If you
are time stretching the sound, the pitch will be altered by the same percentage as the time stretch.
Adjust Pitch By
Choose Adjust Pitch By from the drop down list on the Sound Details Tab.
This allows you to change the pitch by semitones. You can type in a partial amount such as 1.26 semitones or use
the drop down or spin arrows to adjust by a whole semitone or 1/10th of a semitone. You might use this option to fix a
slightly off key vocal performance or transpose a sound into a key you are more familiar with.
