Will Mixcraft determine song speed
Is it possible to load a song/track into Mixcraft and have it determine when the actual speed is?

It depends. If a sound has tempo data stored in it (most don't), then Mixcraft will automatically read the tempo data. If the sound doesn't have tempo data, then Mixcraft will try to automatically detect the tempo. It can't always do that, because sometimes the beat is difficult or impossible to detect (or maybe there is no beat).
In a pinch, you could use a track marker to figure out the tempo:

Another cool and useful feature I was unaware of! There's a lot to like in Mixcraft. Best investment I made for my home studio.

The above plus you can also tap out the tempo manually. Keep in mind though that most music won't have the same tempo throughout its entirety. -hdrumandstage wrote:Is it possible to load a song/track into Mixcraft and have it determine when the actual speed is?

Let me complicate this a little...
If the song/track (song in my case) is irregular in tempo can I select a consistent portion of it and get a tempo reading from the program, and then autowarp the tune to that tempo? For some reason, even being a drummer, tapping the beat on the mouse isn't very consistent.

I'm not too sure about what you are attempting but maybe this would help you out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8I8V2hHA3Q

That was very helpful, once I quit laughing at the Fisher Price tape machine. I love the sense of humor that guy has.
I still hope to find a way to select a portion of a track and find the native tempo automatically. I have 68 songs I am trying to autowarp!
