So ive found this loop of a grand piano on a drum kit i found online a while back. Anyway i can bring it up to speed with the rest of the beat? Can't find anything.
So, the only way that I know of that you can go about doing that without having to re-create it on your own is using audacity to either alter the speed or alter the tempo. Either way, you'll need to know the original tempo for it to work.
Either way, get/open audacity and pull the track into it. Highlight the entire track and then under the effects tab open "Change Tempo". In the empty text boxes on the Beats per minute line, put the original tempo in the first box, and the desired tempo in the second box.
From here, you need to decide whether or not you'll change the tempo or the speed.
The trade-off for using tempo instead of speed is that you maintain the original pitches of the track, but you'll lose quality the more drastically you alter the speed.
The trade-off for using speed instead of tempo is that you maintain waveform quality, but the pitch will be shifted depending on whether or not you're speeding up the track or slowing it down. Likewise, the resulting change will be dependent on how drastic of a change it is.
I'll leave it to you to choose what you'll decide on.
To do the tempo change, just hit ok.
To do the speed change, after you have entered the tempos into the boxes, the number in the Percent Change box will have automatically changed. Copy that number and close the Change Tempo box. Once again make sure your track is highlighted, then under effects, choose Change Speed. In the box that says Percent Change, paste the copied value into it and then hit ok.
hope this helps!
yeah, 20bpm change shouldn't be too bad of a change. Had I read that right, I would have recommended the tempo method. Either way, glad to hear you figured it out.
