Does anyone know if there is a way to increase or decrease all the various tempos in a project by a certain percentage. For example, select entire tempo from start to finish and increase it 6%. If you had 50 different tempos in a project you could calculate the percent increase for each one and then manually change each one. Seems like a lot of work.
I think one needs to use the function āProcess Tempoā for this.
It can be found in the Tempo Editor.
Select all tempo events first, open the dialog, change the parameter āNew Lengthā in such way that the underneath āEquivalent Tempo Scalingā reads either 0.94 (6% slower) or 1.06 (6% faster).
Click āProcessā when all is set.
It is actually much easier than that.
Make a PLE preset like this:
This will behave on any tempo events you select.
You can remove the Property āIs Selectedā line if you want to change the tempo events for the entire track.
And of course if you want different percentage amounts just change the math on the āTrimā line:
1.1 will multiply by 1.1 (10%)
1.06 would be 6%
etc.
Bear in mind that you cannot go to crazy extremes here as there are limits to the range of tempo.
You can find this, and many other PLE presets (free) on my GumRoad:
Hi again, @Phil_Pendlebury Phil!
I clicked on the link you provided, but didnāt see any PLEs. Didnāt have time to play the vid ⦠maybe more info there?
Thanks!
Gumroad is a store like any other store. The presets are free but you have to add them to the cart etc.
Click the button āI want this ā. ![]()
Online shops like these typically asks for an email address even though the product is free. I recommend using a throwaway email account in that case. Just for some peace of mind that your address doesnāt end up where it shouldnāt.
Yes of course, Iām trying to collect all your emails so I can do nefarious things with them. Iām going to build up a list of millions, so I can take over the world. ![]()
But seriously.
The store thing works really well for me, it also allows people to offer small amounts for your hard work, even if it is offered free.
But of course I completely understand that there are always people who will try to look for something negative in a situation, like when someone offers a free solution to someone elseās question. ![]()
I also note that, since posting this solution, the presets have had 4 downloads. 1 of which (using a normal email), generously paid £3.00
The others who were using āsecretā email accounts, offered nothing. But they wonāt receive notifications about updates.
Enjoy. ![]()
See. I called it.
I sincerely hope that made you at least as happy as downloading the free presets did.

I was only curious to see if I could ācheatā the system. ![]()
I have no need for your presets. Or your relentless self-promotion in these forums. There are many professionals visiting here but very few repeatedly posts links to their own business.
You know⦠read the room, maybe? ![]()
Peace!
Oh baby!
This, as with all my posts, is not about self promotion at all. What do you think, Iām making hundreds of dollars from this?
If I have the solution to an issue and I have already taken the time to either make a video about it, or / and design some presets or software to solve if, then itās just the simplest and fastest way to address the issue.
Your comment was just not needed at all. It shows bitterness and no regard for someone elseās hard work. It did not contribute to the topic and in fact Iām kicking myself for even acknowledging it in the first place. I should have known better. But tbh if you donāt like the way I do things, the forum has a very effective āignoreā feature.
I already have your email @steve

Iām not bitter. ![]()
To my defense, I tried sending the reply in a PM, but you donāt except those.
As the original poster, I must say that Iām not against someone offering a solution for some sort of compensation, in this case an email address. Nobody is being forced to purchase his product, it is totally voluntary. It may very well be worth it for me. Or not.
Past that, I would be interested to hear from someone who works for Steinberg on this technical matter outlined in my original post.
Itās free.
If you want an actual āofficialā response from Steinberg, you should open a support ticket.
In any case two solutions have been provided for you that do exactly what you asked for.
and
and I will provide a 3rd:
(posted in error)
And there you have it. There are multiple solutions and some will be better than others.
Probably not worth opening a support ticket since there are several workable solutions that have been offered, for which I am highly appreciative. But I know the Steinberg people often post and I was curious about what they had to say.
Only for you. Itās completely subjective.
The people who have posted are actually more expert than some of the Steinberg folks. You should try the workflows and see what suits you. Thereās even one more way to do it.
Thanks to all who offered their advice and expertise. I will try these out later today when I get off work. Actually, itās St. Valentineās Day and also Ash Wednesday, so maybe it will be tomorrow. thanks again!
Thank you, once again @Phil_Pendlebury for your help in these fora. Youāve helped me before, and maybe those PLEs and LEs you so kindly offered (and for free!) will be what it takes to get me over the hump with those two things! ![]()
Have a great day!
