Hey, I made the stupid mistake of getting too deep into my song before realizing it was set on the default 120bpm instead of the 132 i’d like to have it on. What can I do to remedy this?
Thanks for your time
If you are in ableton… Should jest be able to change it without too much trouble… If your in logic not so easy.

Well I know I can just change the bpm of the whole thing but then it sounds awful and sped up, How can I keep the same tempo of everything (except drums) while switching the drums to 132.
Any yes, I am in ableton
If you are use Beat mode or complex mode it should just speed up with no pitch change.
are you using loops in simpler or any other samplers?

Everything other than the fx is my own midi so I don’t know how to do what you said other than export everything into its own audio file, which i might just end up doing
If it’s all midi it should just speed up. What’s happening exactly when you change the bpm. Maybe post and example?
Ok
120 BPM (ORIGINAL)
132 BPM
I basically want to keep everything except the kick in 120 and have the kick and snare/hh etc… at 132bpm
I made an audio export of a 132 kick but that didn’t work out well because they don’t fit properly into the span of the 120 tracks
It sounds exactly as it should at 132
If you tried to have the drums at 120 and the beats at 132 it would be a total car crash.
Imagine a dj trying to mix 2 records at totally different speeds
What about going for the middle ground… Why not have it at 128.

I meant it the other way around…drums at 132 and instruments at 120, instruments can be literally any speed on any bpm while drums can’t(since i use the basic 4/4) which is why the instruments sound fine to me for a trance song while the drums are slow as hell
…and i can’t do 128 because that still sounds bad and that’s the house tempo, im doing trance. I think i might just freeze a 132 drum clip and try again, thx
You simply cant have 2 elements of your track at different BPMs it just wont work.
