editing tempo map

[Tom Hessels]

Hi Folks,

 

I hope someone can help me with the following problem:

I imported a midi file with a lot of tempo changes.

The conductor track is selected.

Now i want to delete a number of the tempo changes but can’t find how to do this.

I searched the web but only found methods to do this by using graphical tools.

Is there a way for us to do this using the keyboard.

 

Tom.

Hi Tom,

The ruler events in Pro Tools are not accessible, however, whatever tempo events you apply will overwrite any existing events. Thus, you can define whatever tempos you wish, whether it's starting from the beginning of the song or any part. Keep in mind that, depending on how complex it is, it's sometimes better to start from scratch if you happen to know what the tempos need to be. Also, to keep the MIDI data from moving, set your MIDI track's time base to be samples rather than ticks. That way, everything stays in place while you're adjusting tempo.

Hope that helps,

Slau

Hi Slau,

 

Thank you so much! It worked!

What i did was selecting the whole project, in the event menu went to tempo operations menu and constant tempo.

typed in my starting tempo. Checked the box preserve after selection (perhaps nog necessarity).

And it worked.

After that I could make all tempo changes i wanted.

Just one question.

To set the time base to samples: is it possible to do that for all traks at once?

 

Tom.

Hi Tom,

Glad it worked out. You can change all track timebases by Option-clicking on a timebase selector and selecting the desired timebase. The Option modifier in Pro Tools sets all other similar controls to the same state. That goes for things like record enabling, muting, soloing, etc. VoiceOver doesn't support modified clicks but, if you happen to use Flo Tools, you can press Option+accent if Flo Mouse is enabled. That'll allow you to use any combination of modifiers with a mouse click.

Be aware, also, that in the Edit window, if there are a lot of tracks and depending on their track heights, you might need to press page Up a couple of times to scroll the list so that the first timebase selector seen in the window is actually on the visible part of the screen. I'm giving you the Reader's Digest version of all of this so let me know if you have any difficulty.

Best,

Slau
