Hi Silvertones,
I have tried expanding (which doubles the tempo), setting the speed back to the original tempo and then freezing the drums. Unfortunately the 'frozen' drums speed up with the rest of the song when I set the tempo back to double time again. (I guess that it is just the 'pattern' of the drums which is frozen).

I can understand why the realdrums don't automatically go to half time in the same way as the realtracks because they don't have an 'optimum' tempo in the same way as the realtracks do (i.e. the realdrums are designed to operate over a much wider tempo range).

It would, however, be good if we could somehow 'force' them to half time.

I guess that it would be possible to burn them to a WAV file at the half temp speed and then bring them back into the audio track, but that is very cumbersome and also inflexible (e.g. it doesn't allow the option to try out shots, rests, etc in the context of the song at the correct speed. It also means that any change in the song arrangement require you to repeat the 'halve the tempo/burn the realdrums to WAV, Import the WAV to the Audio track/go back to double tempo again' cycle).

Any alternative ideas welcome. If this is not possible it would be great if PG Music could consider it as an enhancement in a future release.

Best Regards, Aubrey
