Editing Tempo |
|
The Edit Tempo dialog allows you to calculate the musical tempo (in beats per minute) of the current selection. To display this dialog, choose Edit Tempo from the Special menu.
Notes:
The selection should be equal to the length of a beat or measure. The easiest way to tune a selection to be exactly one measure long is to play the selection looped and change the selection points until a constant downbeat is heard. If no selection is made, the entire file will be used.
Use Time Stretch to change the tempo of a sound.
