I apologize if this has been answered a zillion times but I can’t find a good resource.
I’m doing a personal project with multiple songs. I use Superior Drummer 3. I usually do a song then open a new project for the next one but was recently talking to a friend of mine that asked why I just didn’t keep all the songs in one project so I don’t have to re-eq, set up effects, etc. I explained that I wasn’t sure how to do that and change the tempos for each track.
So, I’m asking here how that’s done.
apologies…It’s Cubase 11. Everything aside from my drums and a few other virtual instruments I use every now and then are all guitars bass and vocals. So, I just set a tempo track in the project and it will allow me to change as I go? that’s awesome! I’ll try it today, thank you!
Recommend having each tempo track in its own track version.
Also, I think (someone please correct me if wrong) if you want MIDI to follow changes in the tempo track beat by beat/bar by bar, the MIDI track needs to be set to Musical Time Base.
Also, I think (someone please correct me if wrong) if you want audio to follow changes in the tempo track beat by beat/bar by bar, the audio event needs to be in Musical Mode (and if the audio event wasn’t recorded to a click track, almost certainly you’ll also need to Set Definition From Tempo on it).
If the above is wrong, someone please correct and edit if you get there before me, thank you!
Conceptually this is what’s happening. But MIDI & Instrument Tracks always behave like they are set to Musical Timebase and there is no control that would allow them use Linear Timebase.
Hi @bryan3375 , This (video below) is pretty much how I’ve been working with changing the tempo of music (recorded to a click track or not), maybe it’ll be helpful to you, or someone else wanting to do that.
If the music wasn’t recorded to a click track, it can be easier to play overdubs by completely flattening the project to one constant tempo first.
Then if you like the project’s original/variable tempo you can then recall and apply it (the original tempo), and the overdubs will play back at the same tempo as the music was originally recorded!
