Disabling Tempo Sync

I download stems off of Udio imported them into a project. I cut out each snare hit and put them all in a new track. After I was done with that I proceeded to change the tempo to match the tempo of the song. But its locked to the default tempo and I can't find a way to change that. There has to be a way to disable that but I cannot for the life of me figure it out.

I'm not sure if i fully understand your description but could it be that you imported a MIDI file and that this created a tempo track? If that's the case, or if it's another case that created a tempo track, simply delete the tempo clips, or mute the tempo track, or completely delete the tempo track. Does this help?

This is 100% audio tracks. I started editing the audio when it was 128bpm then after I got done with cutting out all the snare hits from the drum track and put it in a new track I wanted to change the tempo to 165bpm. But doing that speeds up my audio. I never used a tempo track. Is the solution to be found with that?

I'm still confused by your description, sorry.
Are you saying that you have an audio drum track at 128 bpm and you want to use it in a project at 165 bpm but you want to keep the drum track at 128 bpm? Or do you want the drum track to also play at 165 bpm? I assume it's the latter. How did you import that drum track? As "Audio Stream" or "Audio Sequence". If you want an audio drum track to have flexible tempo then make sure it's imported as Audio Sequence.

These are WAV stems I'm mixing. After setting the tempo, I want it locked in place. The song's actual tempo is 165, but I imported the audio when MuLab was set to 128. So now when I increased the tempo, it's speeding up all the audio. To fix this, I need to turn off tempo sync, set it to 165, then turn tempo sync back on. Since I'll be chopping this into loops later, having it at the correct tempo of 165 will make finding loop points much simpler.

It's still unclear to me what you precisely want to do. Please make a screen video explaining the case.

Here, I need the audio not to speed up when I set it to 165. Afterwards, I could lock the audio to that tempo and change the speed of the audio accordingly.

If you add that drumtrack as an Audio Stream it will play at its original speed independent from the tempo.

That drum track is an Audio Stream. The kick and the snare is the same imported wav file. I just chopped up the snare and put it on a different track. They are all Audio Streams and they are all locked to the tempo and I can't unlock it. Does chopping up the stream make it a sequence?

From what I can gather, as I have done this too.
1. MuLab set at 128bpm
2. Audio imported.
3. Tempo adjusted to 165 bpm
4. Audio pitch changes as the tempo was adjusted, but this is not wanted.
5. I had to delete and reimport audio. Which is also no wanted.

You need to split the audio on each (sub-beat) to create a set of triggers. That trigger set will then be in sync with the initial BPM (set the initial project BPM to the original BPM). When you change the BPM, the triggers will run at the new rate but the split samples won't be repitched. That's what import audio sequence (or sliced multi-sample) should do with a correctly saved drum loop with trigger points embedded, such as an RX2 file.
If the sound file does not already have embedded beat information (such as a plain WAV file), MuLab will prompt "Create Transient Markers" when you import as an audio sequence -- and it will then try to spot where the beats are from the file. Again, remember to import the file at the right BPM in MuLab to create the beat information correctly. Then when you change the BPM, the triggers will shift but not the pitch.
MuLab never just imports audio without asking you how you want to treat it, so when asking about what's happening, you need to say what kind of import you did. "Import audio" alone doesn't make much sense to anyone trying to help and give advice.

The audio inside an Audio Stream clip is independent from the tempo. But when you chop up an Audio Stream clip into multiple Audio Stream clips then these clips themselves are on the composer timeline which is a bpm based timeline and hence they are dependent on the tempo.mindvox626 wrote: Sun Nov 24, 2024 4:04 am That drum track is an Audio Stream.
