well if I'm understanding you correctly, why would you allow Ableton to change the tempo of the midi if its already at the desired tempo? I know it asks if you WANT to do this. Its okay to say NO!

Secondly, you can always go into warp mode and reset the tempo to the original project tempo very easily. Just go into clip view, and either manually adjust the tempo or you can do it via the warp. I think you're over complicating it.

EDIT:

#1. Change master project tempo back to 140
#2. Next double click on .midi file
#3. Bottom Left type in desired tempo or move the tempo to where you want it

Or...

Go to the first beat of the .midi file. Right Click "insert warp marker" then... Right click again and select warp from here at (and you should see 140bpm)

select that..

Your .midi file and you master project file should sync up.

If not, you can do one of two things.

You can either open a program up like Virtual DJ and manually set that tempo so that its sync'd with what's playing in Ableton (which I do for vocals all the time) especially when they DON'T line-up beatmatched.

Or you'll have to go in and manually set warp markers throughout the entire clip bringing whatever sound is playing in the .midi file in phrase or on beat.

Thanks Ryan. That's what I was looking for I believe.
