Editing Time & Tempo in Acid Pro

Video Transcript

"This is Kyle with Expert Village and I'm going to be talking about some tips for Sony Acid Pro. Let's quickly go over down here, this is your basic project key. If you know what project you're going to be singing in and you're making music specifically for that, then you might want to go ahead and pick a key at the beginning. I'm going to pick none right now, because basically drum beats I don't want any specific key on it I'll just keep it raw. Four four is probably the most popular time signature, but of course you can change it 2/4, 6/8, 9/8 and you could even hit other down here. This allows you to change your beats per measure and your beat value. So okay, over here is your tempo, let's play this again. Now most of you if you're just kind of a newby to music in general and you really don't know a lot about your BPM is your project tempo. It's your beats per minute. Typically Acid has a detection program that if you're opening a new file and you pull in a wave, an acidized loop, it will pull it into its correct beats per minute but sometimes you have to adjust this."
