multi track tempo change of a song in MC 7 . Advice please !!!!

[elagred]

hi guys / gals / MC users

I currently have MC7 and it is absolutely brilliant. Now, this may seem like a really dumb question, but how can you change a songs speed which comprises numerous tracks please ?

Ive looked everywhere for the answer, but it eludes me at present. I see tutorials about tempo change for individual tracks and Ive tried 'selecting all' tracks but they dont seem to change to the right speed to keep in tune all together. There must be an easy way, if someone could post an answer on this forum for me ( nice basic language please as Im a newbie), with a step by step idiots guide, Id be grateful

many thanks

Hi, what I think you want is to use 'Markers', with which you can change tempo of all the tracks at the point you insert the marker.

Yeah, not sure if you want to change the tempo of your song globally, or change the tempo at some point during the song?

If you are changing tempo you'll need to make sure that all you tracks are set at "Adjust To Project Tempo" first. This may be your default, but always good to check first. The results of tempo change with some tracks set at adjust to "Time Stretch By" instead of "Adjust To Project Tempo" is jarring.

Thanks all for the replies.

I did mean to change the tempo globally of the song so sorry for any confusion.

Just one more thing, if it is a marker issue how will mixcraft know which markers to use if there are a few markers in the project already?

Does it give you the option to pick which markers you would like?

Many thanks again!

Yes, and probably easier to read the help file and experiment than to attempt to describe.

Hi,

The tempo changes when playback hits the marker, and then it changes again when you hit the next marker.

Little known fact: every Mixcraft project has a marker at the start and when you change the master tempo, you're changing the tempo of that marker.

hi all

grrrrrrrrrrrrr......

I've tried messing about with markers to speed up the song globally but the tracks dont all seem to sync together eg the drums will speed up, but the guitar / keyboard , will stay at the same previous rate.

Ive selected all tracks ,in case they all need selecting but that doesn't seem to work

Also, when I click on 'add marker' , I do see the the tempo selection box, but do I then need to create another marker at the end of the song . Ive tried changing tempo when that box has been ticked , but it just seems to work on the track the caret is currently on

I deffo need an idiots guide

Can anyone send a link to any video that may assist me please ? Or a walkthru for this would be beneficial if anyone can help
( sorry for being dumb !!!!)

When you add a marker then click edit and you will see the tempo box.

How do you do that?

Right click track then 'Select All Clips On Track' then make the change from the sound tab?

For each track it's in the sound tab, page 67' Mixcraft user manual.
