CHANGING PROJECT TEMPO IN CUBASE/NUENDO

MERC476 · 24th September 2007, 01:43 PM

This must be the easiest thing to do but i just dont get it! I have a project lets say at 92 bpm with a few tracks that have midi notes. Now I go back to listen to the track and decide maybe it might sound better a few bmp higher or lower...whatever. When I change the tempo, the midi notes dont change with project so it's all off. how do I change the project tempo so that the notes stay quantized? Hope y'all understand what i'm trying to say. Thanks

huh? never heard of that. when u change the bpm, the midi notes should just go with the tempo. are you shure you dont mean the audio?

Nah...Not audio. Midi. Lets say i have 5 midi tracks with 8 bar blocks looped. When I change the tempo of the project, the blocks stay the same size and the notes stay in the same place. So basically the loop falls right off. I know it must be some silly setting that I can't figure out.

*toggle timebase between musical and linear*

How to explain..

On the arrange page select a track, say "midi 01". Now to the left in the Inspector section chose the top banner that has the name of the track "midi 01". There is a symbol of a clock. Push it and it becomes orange with a note instead. Now the track will respond to time change.

That is probably the most fvkkin anoying setting in any software ever!! Goddamnit I was ready to kill, trying to figure that one out. You really shouldn't need a manual to to have your midi tracks sync up. That's default. That's why you buy computers.

Devastating lapse of reason in the Steinbug camp. [/rant]

Man I had the same dam problem a while back. Never figured it ot, and it was just easier to recreate the song to the new tempo. Thanks Nielson

I had this problem way back when I first started using Nuendo. I have known cubase to always have its things sit to musical mode automatically by default.

It took my a bit before I figured out the reason why my midi wouldnt follow the tempo changes is because in timebase mode, the content is in sync with the time, not the tempo, thus it always stays lock to its position in time. In musical mode, its in sync with the tempo, so it will move to follow any tempo changes. The same goes for audio set to musical mode.
