One thing that helps is to experiment with different Snap-to-Grid settings when you're making the adjustments. Once you start dragging beats too far, you'll notice degradation of their transients and impact the timing of surrounding notes. The process works best for small corrections. You can also manually stretch beats to correct or change a part, either in the Waveform Editor, which has been reorganised and spruced up in DP10, or in the Sequence Editor.
Hit Play and you'll hear all the audio and MIDI tracks follow the tempo change. Alternatively, you can use the Pencil Tool and draw it into the conductor track. Go to Project / Conductor Track / Change Tempo, and use the Change Tempo dialogue box to program the change in. Say you want to add a ritardando in the last measure, ending on the last beat.
Next, find the spot in the song where you want to change the tempo. If you don't remember what the original tempo was, you can quickly switch back to the Tempo Slider to see and then return to the Conductor Track and enter it in the Event List. Open the Conductor Track in the Event List and put in a tempo change at bar 1:1:000. When Stretch is enabled on audio tracks, you can add tempo changes in the Conductor Track, such as the ritardando at the end of this song.ĭP's tempo will change to the default of 120. If not, make a note of the song's bpm setting, and hold down the disclosure arrow to the right of the Tempo Slider and change it to the Conductor Track. Next, make sure your tempo is being controlled by the Conductor Track. To do this, first check that all your audio tracks are set to Stretch in the Track Settings Menu. This gives you a lot of arrangement flexibility in a mix or remix situation. You can use the Stretch capabilities of audio tracks, in conjunction with the Conductor Track, to program in tempo changes, such as a ritardando or accelerando, or to just add some slight tempo variations into a song recorded to a click. DP's Beat Detection Engine is smart enough to be able to figure out a tempo from beats even when it's showing intricate patterns of transients. That way, every track you create will be Stretch Enabled from the start.
If you know in advance that you're going to be experimenting with song tempo, it's easiest to go to Preferences / Pitch and Stretch, and check Stretch Enable in the Default Options for Tracks in New Projects and Default Options for Tracks in Current Project categories.

The quality of the ZTX Pro time-stretching technology that DP employs is excellent and flexible, so it can be applied to all types of audio material. Stretch will even follow multiple tempo changes in the conductor track. If you Stretch-enable all the audio tracks in a project, you can freely change the project tempo all the tracks will automatically adjust along with the changes. The most obvious use for setting a track to Stretch is to bring in sounds from outside the project, such as loops, and conform them to the project tempo. This feature will work whether you're using the Tempo Slider or the Conductor Track. Even if the audio you're importing doesn't have embedded tempo information, DP will automatically conform the audio in the track to fit the project tempo. You can turn on Stretch functionality for an audio track by going to its Track Settings Menu in the Sequence Editor and selecting Stretch. The new Stretch Edit Layer, which is available in both the Sequence Editor and Waveform Editor, takes advantage of the new Beat Detection Engine introduced in DP10 to offer additional functionality for editing beats and changing tempos. This month we'll look at some tips for using DP's beat-detection, time-stretching and tempo-related features. With the arrival of DP10, those capabilities have been significantly upgraded. The latest version of DP includes some powerful timing & tempo-manipulation tools.ĭigital Performer has long had excellent features for manipulating beats and tempo.
