A Tempo Question for the Pros....... -ACID Product Family

Subject:A Tempo Question for the Pros....... Posted by: CollinJordan Date:11/5/1999 4:17:00 PM Hi, I am a new user of acid- I like to create loops by dumping in wav files I have extracted from CD's and then play with the looping tool until something sounds good. I do not have a final tempo in mind- and i often want to create an odd time-signature loop. Here's my question.... It seems to me that when I find a loop- then create a new sound file, and the new loop then pops up in my session, it should be in the same tempo.....but it's not. For example: I haven't changed the tempo of my session- it's at 120 bpm, and I create a new sound file from the loop, when it pops back up in the session, it says something like 93 bpm, and it's too fast. What am i doing wrong? Do i have to clock the tempo and time signature of every loop that I make? This doesn't seem right. Sorry for the long-winded post....... Thanks! Collin

Hi, I am a new user of acid-
I like to create loops by dumping in wav files I have
extracted from CD's and then play with the looping tool
until something sounds good. I do not have a final tempo in
mind- and i often want to create an odd time-signature loop.

Here's my question....
It seems to me that when I find a loop- then create a new
sound file, and the new loop then pops up in my session, it
should be in the same tempo.....but it's not.

For example: I haven't changed the tempo of my session- it's
at 120 bpm, and I create a new sound file from the loop,
when it pops back up in the session, it says something like
93 bpm, and it's too fast.

What am i doing wrong? Do i have to clock the tempo and time
signature of every loop that I make? This doesn't seem
right.

Sorry for the long-winded post.......

Thanks!
