Saving that Speed setting

[cbasstn]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anybody else is using that Speed-setting (BPM:, TPB:, Speed: ) as often as I do and would like to see it actually being saved into the BMW/BMX-files? Not sure tho if that would cause some incompatibility issues.
Imho the feature itself is amazingly inspiring to play around with and it does give a tune a lovely warm touch. I haven't found a way to record/render it too, so far I'm simply re-applying it to the mixdown Audition afterwards.

Cheers

The "warm tone" is just pitch down, basically. Changing the sample rate playback speed (by semi-tones) does that.

Yes, I use the TPB and SPD quite often, mostly to check intricate micro-edits.

Thanks Evelon. Yes, I can imagine most users only use it to check some certain things while working on a song and less to actually use it as musical feature. I find it quite intriguing and fun to set down the whole arrangement some semitones (in a samplerate sense) with a simple click and many times I leave it like that, save it, and re-set the semitone/samplerate change in Audition after having made a mixdown - having to set it to that value every time I reload the song-file at the moment.

Seems like there's no actual need for it to be saved to the song file or regarded during the mixdown process at the moment so I think I'll just stick with my procedures I guess.

unz had a good explanation of the reason for the speed setting in a post a while back:

The original purpose for SPEED afaik was to slow down stuff for recording notes with your midi keyboard easier (for people who are not very good at playing live).

he also mentions the reasons you can't automate it in the full post.

you can add a master machine pattern to change the TPB if you want, but as mentioned above, it doesn't change the pitch. looks like you'll probably have to come up with a workaround for now.

I agree with you though, it is a cool feature to play around with.

Ah cool so I'm not the first one who had the urge to save/record that setting. Thanks for the link szaszhareen!
