Abstract
A computer implemented method allows a DAW to adjust a variable tempo of an audio file independent of a global tempo. The method includes causing the display of a musical arrangement having a global tempo. The musical arrangement includes an audio file having a variable tempo which is independent of the global tempo. The method includes adjusting the variable tempo of the audio file, wherein the variable tempo begins at an initial tempo and adjusts to an end tempo over a set length of time. The method can also include outputting the audio file having the variable tempo in response to a command to play the musical arrangement.
Claims21
A computer implemented method to adjust the tempo of an audio file using a digital audio workstation, the computer implemented method comprising, in a processor:
- causing the display of a musical arrangement having a global tempo, wherein the musical arrangement includes an audio file having a variable tempo which is independent of the global tempo;
- and
- adjusting the variable tempo of the audio file, wherein the variable tempo begins at an initial tempo and adjusts to an end tempo over a set length of time.
A system to adjust the tempo of an audio file using a digital audio workstation, comprising:
- a display device;
- an input device for navigating the display;
- and
- a processor coupled to the display and the input device, the processor further adapted to:
- cause the display of an arrangement having a global tempo on the display device, wherein the arrangement includes an audio file having a variable tempo which is independent of the global tempo;
- and
- adjust the variable tempo of the audio file, wherein the variable tempo begins at an initial tempo and adjusts to an end tempo over a set length of time.
A computer program product for adjusting the tempo of an audio file using a digital audio workstation, comprising:
- a computer-readable medium;
- and
- a processing module residing on the computer-readable medium and operative to:
- cause the display of an arrangement having a global tempo on a display module, wherein the arrangement includes an audio file having a variable tempo which is independent of the global tempo;
- and
- adjust the variable tempo of the audio file, wherein the variable tempo begins at an initial tempo and adjusts to an end tempo over a set length of time.
