OK guys, here is my situation. I have a song which I'm tracking in the studio which is 4/4 time, and for 99.999% of the song, 100BPM tempo. The last 3 bars of the song however have a tempo change down to 85 bars. Yes, my session, indeed, has a click track.
So, so far, what I have done is, I went to the event menu in my menu bar, and to tempo operations. In here, I then went to constant. Before I go any further, let me clarify something which could prove disastrous in the long run, if I don't do so. This tempo change is absolutely *not!* a gradual thing. It literally is a complete jump from 100 down to 85. So anyway, getting back to the constant tempo window, in here, I've set the tempo at the start of my session, by hitting return, to 100 within the constant tempo dialog. Then, I am moving to bar 111, which is where I need the tempo to change. I'm doing this by pressing numpad slash, then typing 1 1 1 on the numpad, followed by numpad enter. Now, once on bar 111, I'm bringing up the event menu in the menu bar, going back to tempo operations, then back to constant once again. In here I am now setting the tempo to 85BPM. The strange thing is, not only is that not taking effect at bar 111 as it should, but when I then hit space bar to play things back, and make sure my click track follows that tempo change, I find that it's landing my play head at a totally different place in the session, (often times I can't get it to be consistent where exactly it lands.) Not only this, but the tempo change doesn't take effect. I thought perhaps maybe I needed to go into the transport window, and disable the conductor track to make this work, but when I do that, I then have the issue of in the constant tempo screen, I can't change it. As soon as I disable the conductor track, the over all constant tempo throughout the whole session jumps to 120BPM, and try as I may, no matter how hard I try, I cannot get any tempo modification to stick. So, clearly, I'm doing something wrong. How do I do this? No, I have never done tempo changes before in ProTools. I've never had the need until now.
