Edit tempo
•
Before working with the tempo of any Rip, ensure that its bar lines are correctly positioned. A bar
line can be moved by clicking & dragging the handle beneath it. Subsequent bar lines update
automatically so it is best to start with the first and work forwards through the Rip.
•
The BPM (beats per minute) can be viewed in a few different ways:
o
The overall BPM of a Rip is displayed to the right of its name at the top-right of the RipX
window and when the mouse pointer is hovered over it in the RipList Panel.
o
When the mouse pointer is placed over a bar-line handle, the BPM of the preceding bar is
shown to the left of it. This updates as the bar-line handle is dragged left or right.
o
DeepAudio only: To view in the toolbar the tempo of the bar currently under the mouse
pointer, click Tempo Info in the Tools / RipScripts>Tempo submenu.
•
Change the tempo from the cursor onwards or for all
selected bars by right-clicking on the background of the Rip
when nothing is selected and clicking Change Tempo.
(DeepAudio only: Change Tempo is also available from the
Tools / RipScripts>Tempo submenu.) Enter a new number
of BPM (beats per minute) and click Audio To Selection
(which applies to all bars from the cursor if nothing selected) or Apply To Rip.
