Tempo Editing

If MixPad can't determine the tempo of a clip, or makes an error and gives the wrong tempo, then you can use this dialog to adjust the result. Any changes you make to the tempo of a clip will be immediately visible on the clip in the main project window. This can help with correctly adjusting the tempo and the offset.

If you know the correct tempo then you can directly enter it into the tempo field. Alternatively, you can use the 'Tap' button which will allow you to tap along to the track while it plays. MixPad will base the new tempo on how you press the button.

The 'Grid Offset' field refers to the location of the first beat in the clip. You can adjust this offset so that the grid correctly aligns with the beats in your clip. The +1/2 and +1/4 buttons will move the grid forward by exactly one half beat or one quarter beat based on the current tempo of the clip. Grid misalignment by 1/2 or 1/4 of a beat is the most common type of error when using automatic beat analysis, and this feature lets you fix it quickly.
