Hi,

Is it possible to ramp tempo, rather than jumping it?

I have musical assets with dynamic tempos and so far the only solution I can foresee to keep the later assets in time with FMOD’s Timeline is to add a tempo marker set at a calculated tempo that will bring it all back in line… Either that or add a tempo marker each 1/4 beat from what in my project is 106 to 161…? 😛 I don’t relish the idea of 55 tempo markers sitting in my Timeline 😃

Any tips / advice appreciated.

Thanks.

Possibly the quickest response ever on a forum 🙂

My solution was to right-click the audio asset, click ‘Move To…’ and copy it’s End value. I then added a Tempo marker and pasted this value in as its Start. That resets the Timeline so you can keep following audio assets (and Transitions!) in synch 🙂
