I have a song that is exactly 120 bpm. Is there a way to slow the song down to EXACTLY 110 bpm? or do I have to experiment. (Want to keep pitch the same). I will ask in Power tracks forum as well because I think it works like Realband

That is quite a bit of change
Change the tempo of the seq file and pay attention to popup questions regarding audio tracks
There is also a right-click option to pitch shift and tempo change on a track
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Make your sound your own!

Rharv, back me up on this assertion, but I think it's also contingent on what the track is made of. Some of the Real Tracks sound HORRENDOUS when you get outside of a certain range of BPM. They are listed with a min and a max and that is for good reason.
Rharv is a great source for BIAB/RB stuff, despite being from that state up north...
I think we need to shift some of this Buckeye Nation angst to the east in light of the Sandusky conviction. Can you imagine being the new coach and trying to recruit after all of this?

I am not using any real tracks.
I just put a wav file in and wanted to slow it up and play melodic chords to it with guitar. I listen to the original (although slow) track to get its "emotional feel" and play guitar lines that would work with this. I would then erase the warbly wav file and add a few more of my own tracks (or maybe realtracks). I also want to give the singer an idea of how it would sound slower with a different arrangement with a similar feel. I don't know if that make any sense but when I get ideas that I can't figure out, I will ask the forum.

If you select the entire audio track and then right-click on it there is a menu item called "Time Stretch and Pitch Shift Selected Audio Tracks" which has an option to change the tempo. I think that is what you are looking for.

Hi Kristen,
As ED has said above the Time Stretch function is what you need. I do this often but I usually need to shift pitch without changing the tempo or length.
When you right click the track and select the Time Shift option, be sure to uncheck the "Pitch Shift" enabled box so that the pitch of your Wav file stays the same.
Don't change the percentage options, just put 120 in the "Old Tempo" box and then 110 in the "New Tempo" box.
I tend to use 8-Band_Sum or BANDSUM_HYBRID as the "Quality" choice but I'm not an expert on these settings. I read my manual and thought they sounded right. Maybe someone here can enlighten further on these options.
Hope this helps
