Hi, I'm trying to start fooling around with production of music and I have some very basic questions.
1. Suppose I have 3 loops i WAV format, but they are all different tempo's, whats the best and easiest way to get them to the same tempo? I'm playing around with Cubase and I can't seem to find the option to do it. Do I have to use some other software?
2. Can anyone recommend a good software based drum machine so I can create my own beats?
Thanks for any help you can provide! |

Ok import the first Wav file and get the loop in time with the midi click. Then say if it is in time with the midi click at 130 bpm, then time stretch the audio file (under process) to your desired BPM, then do the same with the others, making sure you are changing them all to your desired BPM of say 130BPM or so,
Hope this helps :) |

The best way is to find out which one is in the middlest tempo so you won't have to timestrech the other ones too much. If you timestrech a loop too much (most common if you slow it) it will sound bad.
You should really try out Reason 2. It's really a good way to learn the basics. |

| Cakewalk Sonar 2 can supposedly timestretch wavs automatically, though I've never used it. |

but if you time-stretch different things, their pitches will change, won't they?
at least that's what happens in Wavelab |

It depends on how the program processes them. It may use a method that doesn't change the pitch but it may stretch the sample so much that it gets choppy. |
