Hello, for whatever reason, if I change the tempo of a song I have created with RealBand (i.e., go to the tempo field in RealBand and change it), the actual speed remains constant, regardless of the value I have. Literally the speed of the song at 120 is the same as it is at 8. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you are using audio tracks or RealTracks or RealDrums, then that is correct. Just changing the tempo isn't going to change the underlying WAV file. The tempo will only affect the MIDI tracks. I haven't look at this in a long time, but I believe RealBand will do this for you, but not just by changing the tempo spinner. If you want to change the tempo of the audio (non-MIDI tracks), you need to run the command to change tempo (I forget which menu item it's on) to reduce or increase the tempo/song duration. You have to do that for each affected track. It may also probably result in funny sounding artifacts depending upon how much or little you change it.

If song is all audio-
Right-click wave display and use the change pitch/tempo selection.
Can be run on more than one track.
If a combo of midi and audio, will be more difficult.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Got it. Thanks. I see it all now. Important to know it won't work well on mixed tracks, which is ok as so far I have only used audio tracks.. worst case I can remove all tracks and re-add them after changing the tempo.
thanks!

Hi guys, happy holidays. I realize this is an old thread. I'm trying to change tempo of a few audio tracks in RealBand 2021 for my own analysis/practice. I select a single track and invoke the "Time Stretch and Pitch Shift Selected Audio Tracks." A yellow box appears with "1 consolidated file to process" and the progress bar immediately goes into "Progress (Not Responding)" and never recovers. Any insights? Thanks!

Hi Warren,
What year is the program you are using? If the program has it, I suggest using the Return to Factory settings, All. That's in the Options Menu bar. You will need to redo all the preference settings including audio and midi.

Jim, it's brand spanking new 2021. I'm using a few audio tracks generated in version 2019. The SEQ opens and works fine, but not this feature, unless I'm not doing something correctly. I'm running BIAB/RB off of the external drive but it's USB 3.0 and my computer is a new I9. For the heck of it, I did reset to factory defaults, and same behavior. Sounds similar to this-https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=419362 Thanks!
