Synchronizing audio and the project tempo
Changing a project’s tempo
Changing a whole project’s tempo is simple with AudioSnap, if the tempo change is not drastic.
Before you change the global tempo of a project that contains audio, you must first make sure the
audio clips are configured to follow tempo changes.
After you change the tempo, you may want to bounce some or all of the tracks to new tracks with the
Radius algorithms to correct any unwanted change to each track’s sound.
To change a project’s tempo
1. Use the File > Open command to open the desired project.
2. Use the Edit > Select > All command.
3. Press A to open the AudioSnap palette.
4. Zoom in (or press F) to get a better look at your clips.
5. With all clips still selected, enable the Clip Follows Project Tempo button in the
AudioSnap palette.
All the clips display the Auto Stretch icon , and will now conform to any new or future tempo
changes.
6. In the Control Bar’s Transport module, click the Tempo value , type the desired tempo
value, and press ENTER.
All the tracks stretch to conform to the new tempo. Listen to the project as a whole, and also solo
each track to hear how different the sound is after stretching.
