I was looking at a collection at the Loop Loft which contained WAV files of drum parts. The files were at around 75 bpm. How does one change the tempo of these files once imported into a DAW?

Samplitude.
I thought that there were specially prepared WAV files (acidized?) that adjust to the tempo of a pre-existing project when added to that project?

The WAVs are "acidized" (ACID metadata tag) so any DAW that can handle that should be able to detect the tempo/length and stretch it accordingly.
They also offer REX2, which basically chops up the hits so there isn't any sample stretching when the tempo is adjusted; the individual hits are moved accordingly. If your DAW uses that it could be highly preferable (it's what I use with Reaper). If your DAW doesn't support it, there are plugins that can. Geist 2 and Transfuser come to mind.

One does not change Tempo. One adapts ones composition to the Tempo of ones Loops.
This is the same method MJ used when he was working on Anthony Marinelli's Thriller.

Thanks for the info. I use Samplitude X3 and I don't think it supports Rex files so I'll try out those plugins.yellowmix wrote:The WAVs are "acidized" (ACID metadata tag) so any DAW that can handle that should be able to detect the tempo/length and stretch it accordingly.

Even though I'm on Windows I like to use the AIFF files that are usually available with the loop loft stuff. When I load the WAV's into Cubase it gets confused with the BPM, the AIFF's work fine. Other DAWs might not have that problem though.
