One of F5's options is to change tempo, either by a given amount or a percentage of the currant tempo. My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Like, you can only slow down an entire bar, as opposed to e.g. the last two beats of that bar. And I still haven't found a way for my changes to 'stick' on the 2-bar endings, have you??

I can't answer this question as I do all of my work in Sonar. There I can do ritardandos and other tempo changes very easily. Maybe you can do the same in RB, don't know.

In BIAB the 4-bar ending now allows for a 2-bar ending to fade out over two more bars. Or is that not available in the Mac version? BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.

It's not what I'm referring to, I'm purely talking about changes in tempo. You see, these 'built-in' endings start after the last 'chorus', so any changes I made to the tempo within/before that last chorus seem to be reverted back to the original main tempo. Or, as I said: It doesn't 'stick'!

MarioD Veteran Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 20,989 Hamlin NY	Have you tried to unfold the song into one large chorus, assuming of course that it is less than 255 measures; that is the limit in the Win versions, don't know about the limit on the Mac version. If you can try it, make your tempo changes and determine if they stick. Also try your tempo changes on another song with more than one chorus to determine if you have glitch in your initial song or if you have found a bug in the Mac version.

It doesn't make any difference if it's just one chorus, the ending section is always after that chorus has ended (i.e. after the set 'Song End' bar). I have tried this on both single chorus and the more usual 3-chorus types of songs, new & old - no difference. Are you telling me this doesn't happen on the PC version?!
