I don't think there is a way to do that, but you can loop 5 bars on your track and keep retyping bpm untill you hear it perfectly!

The best way is to first decide upon the original tempo. Then cut the beat up into its individual hits. Lock these to the grid and change to the new tempo. Now depending on whether the new tempo is fast or slower than the original, you will have to either timestretch or compress the hits to fit. If its a case of compressing them, than its a doddle - dont bother, just chop the overlapp off. If you have to stretch, then it pays to be careful cuz it can ruin transients and make your beats sound like bollocks. The best thing to do is to cut a portion out of the decay and stretch that (leaving the attack portion untouched).

If you dont want to bother doing this stuff manually, then apps like Ableton Live, Acid, Cubase SX3 all have a system of warp marking. This allows you to simply stretch files in realtime without any of the above hassel.

Those are cool tables, thxs. I think Im just gonna wait for the new FL Studio 5 to time stretch instead of doing it by hand.
