I then found the bar where the slowing started and from that bar to the end I deleted all the data. Then I copied the last line of the last chorus which was at the normal tempo and pasted it onto the area I had deleted. Still no change. Guess it's learn to change it or learn to live with it. Thanks again, take care. Bryan.


Midi is 100% editable. You just need to learn enough about it to be able to figure out what they did at that specific part of the song and undo it.

You could also open a new midi project track in a new project. Go back to th old one and copy from the start until where the change begins. paste that into the new project. close the old one... now finish your editing. it's worth a try. That way you don't have any embedded stuff messing you up.

Be sure to look carefully at the options in the "COPY" box. be sure you are only copying the actual notes. Uncheck all the other boxes.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
