Changing the tempo with audio content was a game changer for me
abso-fucking-loutley
Thank you...using cakewalk for years and now just got back with this bandlab version.. forgot how to do this without time stretching...you are a champion in your field..!!!..one love
Hey Mike thanks again....hope you are well!
Hey Drummer Boy - I am thanks man. Hope you are too!
@@CreativeSauce I am now...just coming through hopefully the tail end of the dreaded covid.
I know this video is old - But Mike to the rescue again! I was driving myself crazy with trying to change the time signature for a 6/8 song. Cheers!!
Three tips to augment Mike's great tutorial here. 1. To allow the transport to run so you can hear the playback metronome in an empty project, be sure to un-check 'Stop at Project End' under Options in the Track View menu. 2. When drawing tempo changes, set the snap resolution to match the smallest timing interval in the music, regardless of the tempo - e.g. an 8th in Mike's drum pattern example would do the trick; having tempo changes in between notes isn't musically necessary, and may cause audio-stretching artifacts or problems with tempo-synced plugins. 3. Before enabling Clip Follows Project in the Audiosnap palette, be sure to open the drop-down to the right of the option and select 'Auto stretch' as the mode. Other options will cause the clip to immediately stretch to fit the current tempo before the tempo is changed which is likely to produce undesirable results.
THANK YOU Mike! ;-) Now I finally know how to force audio clips to follow the project's tempo. Please never stop producing such VERY useful videos. Especially for CAKEWALK by Bandlab. Bandlab should engage you as official Cakewalk tutorials guru. Thumbs up!
Alt-A, yet another shortcut I hadn't known about. Thanks Mike.
Changing tempo dynamically throught the song was exactly what I wanted to do, and exactly what you helped me understand! Very clear and easy to follow, so thank you very much!
You are the "Go To" man for anything to do with Cakewalk. Appreciate your input.
Hey, Mike, Thank you so much for your great work! You are definitely a gifted teacher! Your lessons are so easy to follow and understand! The way you present material and explain things is simply the best!
Great tutorial, I have been looking for this exact explanation and your attention to detail is second to none. please don't ever change in the way you give us those little insights in between your explanations. there are very few people (youtubers) that have understood the importance of that. Thankfully you have. we are all very grateful.
holy crap u r so good at explaining things in such a simple way. Im so thankful u exist
Great Cakewalk teacher on youtube !
The moment I heard the song at the end (around @14:00) I thought it was a Dutch song from Clouseau - Zie me graag ;-)
Hey Mike just wanted to say I recently got back into recording and mixing after a really long break. Your videos have been enormously helpful and I really appreciate all the great content.
Thanks: the changing audio section was what I needed. A friend wants to make karaoke tracks, and she needs sometimes to change both the key and the tempo of the songs - so the changing audio section was exactly on point. Thanks again, Mike!
I agree with Brian, changing the tempo with audio opens up new ways to record (more organically). Thanks Mike!
Thanks so much for all these Cakewalk by Bandlab resources, Mike! I keep resorting to them as I work on musical ideas.
Excellent presentation. Thank you Mike for all of your hard work and efforts.
Thank you! You're the first one I've come across who shows the basic steps for changing the audio's tempo clearly and in the correct order. I was pulling my hair out. Even Cakewalk's knowledge base doesn't clearly show how to do this.
Thank you so much for all your help. I appreciate the work you put into all your videos.
Thank you so much i was looking for tempo automation....❤️🙏
Love and respect for u❤️
Great tip Mike especially liked the last tip as I've struggled with changing audio tempo..so simple!! Keep up the good work.👍🏻
Thank you Mike! As always your Cakewalk lessons are very helpful.
I pretty much use Cakewalk for all the one man band covers here on RUclips and I key in the tempo using the mouse and then use tempo view specially to adjust midi drum tracks to the actual reference track I am intending to cover. Though visually sometimes a little tedious, it gets the job done when the bpm hovers around a particular number in a song rather than being fixed.
I appreciate the last part of the video. Other people dont explain it well and made it look so difficult. :)
Some day I will buy a better PC and use Cakewalk by Bandlab. Till then, I will like Mike's videos and hope that his channel becomes more famous☺️
yea nice
I run Cakewalk on a 4GB RAM potato pc. You can run it too bruh
That last tip! If only I had known this before. I completely disassembled my last song, midi and audio, to do something similar .... A good lesson! Thanks!!!!
You da man, Mike!! Thank you for all your clear instructions, and especially your insistence on using hotkey shortcuts to expedite the creative flow. I've used Cakewalk for 15 years now, and I barely started using the shortcut keys this year lol. Needless to say, my workflow speed has practically quadrupled. I can't imagine using the mouse for every little task anymore lol.... 💯💯💯
AudioSnap is a great tool. If you have an existing audio recording that was not recorded to a metronome, you can let AudioSnap analyse the tempo of the clip, so your tempo map will follow the audio. If you now add midi instruments, you can use quantize and all other great midi features and it will always fit.
Wow! Actually it was the question I wanted to ask)) Thank you very much!)
Thank you very much! I am mixing acapella voices. I create for them the midi files but usually, it changes tempo at the end. Extremely useful!
Your channel is gold. I appreciate your tutorials very much sir.
thank you so much for the audio clip tip. Ive been trying to find this for so long.
Great vídeo for me, this last about audio snap time change help me so much, thank you.
No problem, thank you!
Thank you VERY MUCH for this video. I have been starting my projects from a template I programmed for a particular song and adjusting the tempo was just a nightmare, Cakewalk would change part of the project but not all of it, making the whole process extremely demotivating (and irritating). Very straightforward and helpful explanation, thumbs up! Cheers
Really appreciate all your amazing work! Thank you!
Cool! Exactly what i needed. Many Thanks!
Oh man, I needed this. Thanks for the tutorial!
Awesome, thanks!
i love your accent - and of course the amazing tutorials for cakewalk. every time you sign in i understand you to say, "hi i'm mike and i hope you will." the first thing that pops into my head is, "will what?" anyway, i'm definitely a noobie with recording software, but did plenty of sessions back in the reel to reel 16 track studio days as a musician - the blessed 80s. up to now i've just used audacity. but i'm getting into recording at home now and i thank you for your help.
Great tutorial. This is what I was looking for.
Thanks Mike. I'd always rerecorded the audio or put the entire finished mix through a time stretch plugin. This way is much easier.
My mentor from now on..
Love your videos Mike!!! Incredibly helpful :) 👍👍
Great video Mike, that was very helpful, thank you very much ✌️
Superb job as always...stay safe Mike!
Thanks Mike. EXTREMELY useful!! (as always!!!)
My pleasure!
Another fantastic video mike.
Thankyou.
Awesome! Thank-you so much. That last tip has been so hard to find the answer for.
great and easy! awesome video!
Very helpful. Enjoyed the whole video.
Awesome awesome, Mike.. as always.. cheers mate
Most excellent indeed.. just what I need..
Great tutorials, thank you!
just what i needed for tempo Thanks !
I clicked like when you suggested/reminded but when I saw your reaction at 13:07, I clicked like a few more times (I forget how many).
Very help full as always Thx
Hi Mike, I found the last bit particularly interesting where you were speeding up the audio, many thanks Neville
Superb, cheers.
Excellent tutorial, very helpfull to me.
So so useful. Tyvm
Nice job on this!
Great vid friend as always Cheers
Very nicely explained it helped me thanks
Thanks yet again. Not puppy doodoo at all. Mike, well done as usual.
Lol, cheers Tony :)
Useful reminders and some new stuff to me - another good 'un Mike! By coincidence I was just explaining the meaning of rubato to my other half, Fiona, yesterday :-)
Nice! Just finishing a song where I had to figure this out for myself. Did not know about the tempo view. THAT really would have helped in my project. Also working with some poly-rhythmic sections and it appears at first glance Cakewalk is not set up for that. Discovered (not unexpectedly) most of the free drum plug ins are limited to grooves/rhythms of 4/4 and 6/8, so much hand programming required for "strange" time signatures like 5/4. Thanks for this video and the "time" you took to produce it. Big help!
funny guy. I like who explain this, thanks mike!
Wow very informative video.... Thanks.
My pleasure
i don't know who hired you 🤣🤣, but you are doing a damn good job!!!!💪💪💪
Thank's to the gold informations.
Dude thanks alot 🙏
Mike you're precious!
Thanks Mike....I was struggling with that trying to slow down an ending properly.
Спасибо!!! Очень интересно и полезно.
fantastic
Thank you master
Thank you. I couldn't find tap temp to save my life
One small complaint I have with cakewalk is how it displays the tracks when tempo changes mid song are involved, basically it is keeping the visual spacing of the beat markers constant and then scaling the actual time ruler to deal with the tempo change, I much prefer the way pro tools deals with tempo changes by keeping the actual time ruler scale the same throughout and then adjusting the beat marker spacing when a tempo change occurs, that way a after a tempo increase a 1/4 note in midi will look smaller on the screen as well as sounding shorter (as it should if the tempo increases). It also means that in tempo changes in cakewalk the play head will visibly speed up/slow down as they happen which is a bit off putting to me. Its nothing that actually affects me doing anything in cakewalk, just a visual thing I wish would change
I know what you mean kinda wish it was optional.
Your slang sounds like peaky boys 🔥
The tip at the end about how to change the tempo of the audio was very helpful to me. From your video, I'm assuming that altering the tempo does not alter the pitch. Thanks.
You Are the Savior !! @-@
Great video! I am embarrassed to say i have used Cakewalk for years and could never figure out how to change audio tempo.
wow! bless! i was digging around for 'how to automate gradual tempo changes' and coming up blank... yet again you've saved the day! i'd suspect that using the freehand tool while snap is disabled would not result in the big chunky steps? will find out soon enough either way... THANKS!
I'm plagued by timing issues in my songs. If I quantize drums so they're better on the grid, they don't match the timing of my audio tracks. This instructional video has given me more ideas. This topic is quite important to me. I typically lay down a guitar track by following a metronome click track, but of course it's not perfectly in time with it. Then, when I lay down a drum track, I try to follow the guitar track, which is not exactly on the metronome beat. Ahhh! People have told me my music is pretty good, except the rhythm is frequently off a little bit.
Hey Mike! Your videos are really helping me improve myself when it comes to producing, mixing etc. I would like to know one thing though.. I want to set a different tempo in the middle of my project without changing the audio in any way. I'm able to set tempo but the whole set of audio tracks are changing...
Your videos on Cakewalk are the best I've come across - clear, straightforward and practical. I learned a lot about tempo here, but I still have a question.... I often record an improvisation without setting up a tempo, so that it can flow freely. But then I like to produce a score. Can I add tempo changes real time so that the score automatically produced in Cakewalk from a midi track accurately maps to the beat? Thanks!
Had a hard time finding out how to use the new time view in the latest update on cakewalk. It now is available on the arranger tempo track and works the same way automation does for volume etc.
Hi Mike - just wonder whether you can answer a question - I have an old analogue synth (Roland JP6) and can record both audio and midi from it. I want to record midi from the JP6 arpeggiator and change the midi data to align with a bpm setting in Cakewalk or determine the bpm speed of the arpeggiator . I can then transmit the midi data back to the JP6 and record the audio. Would you know whether this is possible?
I will have a hard time remembering all the shortcuts from dozens of videos. I hope all those can be found in the menus somewhere, too. Another way to get AudioSnap is to go to the inspector on the left, click on the clips tab and there on AudioSnap. What you could clarify in a future video is how the key setting (the project's key v AudioSnap key) is influencing the audio tracks. I never understood it.
Is there a way to click and drag the audio file to change it's tempo> like there is in Vegas?
Great video - I've been wondering how to do this. I have a piece I'm working on that's all virtual instruments (no audio tracks) and I'm trying to change the tempo of the entire piece. I have markers in the piece to delineate sections, and the tempo change only applies to the first section. Is there a way to get it to apply to the entire piece, or do I have to delete the markers, change the tempo, then add the markers back in? Help!
When I hit alt+shift+5 (or select Tempo from Views) it only shows the list on the inspector at the left of the screen. The timeline at the bottom does not come up. Any ideas?
EDIT: Noticed the Tempo track does appear up top, underneath the control bar
Dear Mike, Thanks very much, I had Years traying to Synchronize wavs and midis, Audio Snap is magical, I had to move the average time and it worked, I noticed that some wavs files do not respond to the AudioSnapt ?, thanks again
so the explanation is soooo clear and perfect and it worked for one track, but as soon as I used it for the one song I really needed to increase speed by 5 BPM it all went tits up. The vocals went at right speed but not trumpets. Does having multiple clips in the same track affect the way it is processed... i am very new to all of this!
Hi Mike -- I've got a song that has many audio tracks and a couple midi tracks in it. I've tried to bump the tempo up from 110 to 120 via the instructions you provided.. (one variable ... figured I needed to ctrl + a to select all tracks for the tempo change. Is that not correct?) ... But the tracks sound all changed helter skelter... different tempos... some staying at 110 and some moving up to 120. ... What could I be doing wrong. And what is the proper way to pull all audio tracks into the new tempo? Thanks! Tim
👍🏾
Great video :-)
Maybe there has been an update, because the Tempo View is opening at the top as a Tempo Track, and not at the bottom like a Piano Roll + the shortcut ALT + 8 doesn't apply to Audio snap any more.
Hey I seem to have run into a bit of an issue and confusion. I'm trying to add a gradual tempo change at the end of one of my songs but every time I press alt + shift + 5 to open up the tempo view it does not display the tempo view, only the tempo changes in a list. What have I done wrong?
Thank you for your excellent super-clear videos.
Pardon my long preample. "Cut Time" or 2/2 time signature can be confusing at times. There are two beats per bar and a half note has the duration of a full beat. Comparing with 4/4 signature, the quarter note has the duration of a beat. When I load an audio track, and set a tempo 150 bpm in a 2/2 signature, it plays back identically for 4/4 signature at the same 150 bpm. In 2/2, I then see twice the number of bars as expected because it takes double the number of bars to span the same time period.
Finally here is my question... In 2/2, the BandLab metronome clicks sound on half-notes as expected at 75 per minute. However, the displayed tempo above the tracks is counting quarter notes at 150 bpm! This seems inconsistent with what I hear and the definition of a "beat". Having said that, the BandLab is advantageous because it iseems consitent with a more familiar 4/4 time signature. Is it a "bug" or a feature.
I trust your reply much more than from other RUclipsrs who have superficial knowledge and experience but don't recognize their limitations ! Thank you.
Can we do all these stuffs using MT Power DrumKit 2?
I don't have any computer or interface or any gears as of now. But have been saving for sometimes to get myself one. Probably by the end of this year I might have one. So, just checking. And I'm learning a hell lot of stuffs from your channel. Love all your videos.
Love from Northeast India🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
Thanks for an instructive video! When I change meter in my ongoing cakewalk project from 4/4 to 6/8, the change just take place in that particular measure and the meter is back to 4/4 in the subsequent measures. What do I do wrong?
How do you change the tempo for individual tracks? Is it possible in Cakewalk?
