Detect Tempo....

[madFloyd]

The detect tempo feature doesn't seem to be working correctly - or I'm unclear on how to use it. I tried searching for 'detect tempo' in the on-line help and it wasn't very helpful, lol.

Here's what I'm doing.

I start a new project, load a WAV file of drums.

I right click on the audio event, choose Detect Tempo ..... it processes and the result remains the default 120 bpm. Then I notice the audio event's tempo is changed to 'Map' (instead of 'Not Set') and playback is much slower than expected. I think the actual tempo is around 150 or so and S1 has mapped it to 120 bpm (or so it seems).

This seems more of a 'map to tempo' rather than 'detect tempo'.

Am I misunderstanding?

After you detect the tempo of the audio, you need to open the tempo track and then drag the audio event up into the tempo track.

Thank you, that was what I was missing!
