I've been searching allover trying to find a simple, clear way to do this and haven't found it until now. Thanks!

Excellent, clear instruction. I teach MS Word and Excel all day; but in ProTools, I need the kind of clear teaching I try to give the people I help. You're doing it; thanks, brother. And keep putting out the message of your sample tunes.

Wow. Eight years old and this looks exactly the same as my version. And still super useful. Thanks for all the incredible help!!

Ive seen 3 videos from you in a row... So so helpful and well explained. Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks, Graham. Very helpful. Looking forward to watching your other vids.

Very well done. Just learning "Slow Tools" and this helped me a lot! Thanks--

OMG, you explain it so easily and make it so understandable its very easy to follow! Thanks a lot you've just saved me a lot of time wasting!! You're the best graham, Cheers

This is GREAT! Thank you for this video. So many hidden-in-plain-site tricks in Pro Tools. Thanks again.

thank you! you saved me for my exam today ^^

Thanks Graham another fantastic tutorial. God bless

Thanks for this Grahms. Now i learned how to find the tempo using pro tools

Excellent tutorial Graham,thanks.

@GuitarManMilaneus It might have to do with whether your track is tick or sample based. Whether it stretches to follow the tempo changes you've made or not. You don't want it to stretch. Just the tempo to change.

Thanks for doing this. This was immensely helpful!

Thank you. Clean and concise.

@antoni7515 You have to use the 1 on the right side of a full keyboard (the numeric keyboard), not the 1 above the letters.

great tutorial thanks for posting

I like to tap tempo on my kaossilator or KP3 to find tempo.... A lot of vsts have this option too, and you can midi map a controller key/button to it for a tactile input. This is a wonderful alternative. I'm sure I'll be using to double check my guesstimations.

Very helpful, thanks!

Thank you for making this video helped me so much. You are the man.

This is a very good lesson. Thank you.

If I may chime in, yes you can. You need a stopwatch to do it. Start the stopwatch on a beat, Stop the watch on the 25th beat. Whatever the stopwatch counted to, multiply that by 41.81 and that is your beats per minute.

Thanks tons! Really made my job easier

Thank you mate, you just made my day!

Super video. Learned a ton!

Thanks very much for this. Just helped me a lot.

sick! I used to import stuff into Traktor before I knew about this feature! thank you!

YOUR REALLY VERY GOOD!!! YOUR REALLY VERY CLEAR, I HAVE A LOT OF DOUBTS BEFORE THIS VIDEO THANKS A LOT!

Excellent video, thanks

Has Pro Tools improved this at all? In Ableton you just drag the beat into your session and it figures it out pretty instantly. Very rarely gets it wrong.

Helped me a bunch!!!

Make sure you group the drum tracks together when you make the beat detective slices so everything gets chopped up but only analyze the kick and snare. If your missing what I'm saying you need to play with PT a lot more before going down this road.

I am trying to do this for a Dream Theater Song, and the time signature changes are difficult. How can I get around this problem? Would it be possible to make a video about it?

thanks mate! Great work!!!

You sir deserve 1m subs! Thank you

@recordingrevolution Oh rite, thats why then as i dont have that type of keyboard but will be purchasing the editor keys keyboard so that shold solve all of those shortcut problems anyway. thanks a lot graham.

Thanks Graham!

Fantastic. Thank you!

Thank you so much.

It actually is the music standard for recording. I haven't seen any pro studio that doesn't have that software. I use both Sonar and Pro Tools on my PC

general question: means that, that PT stretches all fine human timedifferences to exactly 70 bpm oft the whole songlenght or is the beatdetection-feature is able to search realted transients of quarter notes (like the piano accompaiment) in order to keep that in each bar different microtiming when musicans are not recording to a click? Would whish to had that feature in Reaper for a long time, hahaha)

excellent and thank you. Could you show me (if it exists) a way to slow down the tempo of an imported Track. For example I have a piano track that I wish to slow down. Thanks in advance - Aindre

You need to find the average tempo of the track using idenfify beat function, and use beat detective to chop the drums up into slices so you can lock it to that tempo. Then you can modify tempos and have the drums stay on beat. Get ready to do a lot of editing. Best way is to always record drums to a click.

great vid helps a lot... question: what if the audio did start to drift off of the click?

How do I find this song. I really like it. Is there a link to it somewhere that I could use to listen to it? Thank you.

I love how the sample is called OGG 70BPM :DDDD Thanks for the video anyway man!

Great tip thanks for share it

Helpful!

Awesome! Thanks

Pro Tools has Tap Tempo. Undo Conductor Mode, click on the tempo in the transport and tap the letter T to find it. Problem comes when 10 measures down the road the drummer moves tempos and its off again. Best way is to find average, use beat Detective and slice up the drums to the grid.

thankyou sooo much!!!

Can I get the MP3 for this song...I love it!

I need to align a multitrack drum project. It was not recorded with a click or metronome. It was live. I want to align the drums at the recorded temp and then speed it up when session is done. Can you help?

this was really helpful :)

@antoni7515: If you're using a laptop (which I am assuming) you could simply buy an USB number keypad instead of getting a whole new, full-size USB keyboard.

awsome.. thanks for this mate

Thanks Graham.

trying to switch from fl studios to protools for recording and man this program years late with features that make simple things like finding bpm easy.

@NIP28

doesn't it slow down the track over all?

Great Tutorial. Thank you.But what if the audio track was played NOT to a click.Obviously the pro tools click would drift in and out from time to time. I know in cubase you have the option to cut the audio up into M point which can than be quantised to the precise click. Is there a way to quantise the live unregulated tempo of a audio track to a precise click .

Would it be more accurate to select a larger number of bars?

Dude... I know how to do that in Samplitude I've been wanting to know how to do it in protools thank bro.

how do you get the tempo to play when recording? i cant seam to get it to

great video Graham! But why not tap-tempo?

VERY NICE

Thanks the vid was helpful.

THANKS!!

Your a good man..........

Helpy Helperson . thanx

Nice video and song what version of protools is this I have 10hd on a PC will this procedure still work ? trying to get a tempo so I can add some midi over dubs to an audio recording make the click matchthe audio I'm a novice lol

Excellent my friend' thank you!!

Great video, but I'm able to find the tempo of the song but every time I change it on the top meter it slows or speeds up the music?

@NIP28

me too!!! did you figure it out???

Its probably a dumb question but, I can't seem to bring up the transport bar using the short cut of cmd+1 or ctrl+1, any ideas why? Thanks

If the measures are off by about 1bpm in the middle of the song, how can everything line up to 70bpm so perfectly? Whenever I get tracks not played to a click track, the tempo is all over the place, and there's no way to set a tempo for the whole song.

thank you much help

His demo sounds pretty good lol.. Just need to b mastered and some overall rverb lol

you are the shit graham! I have found your channel really helpful

It has to be the 1 on the number keypad to the right of your keyboard.

EXACTLY!

what if there are many songs of different time signatures & different tempos in one project, what should be done in such a scenario ,what shud be done so that each song retains its click and i dont have to change the tempo of entire project for each song .

+gaurav sharma Hey Guarav, if you are switching time signatures and tempos in Pro Tools, its not too hard. See the top bar where it says Tempo and Meter (upper left, in grey, above the track names)? Click the + button to add a tempo marker or meter marker. This will effectively switch your tempo, or meter. The click will follow as well. Hope this helped!

Great, keep me posted and let me know how it goes!

I prefer to tab to transient to find a more precise downbeat.

OK great but if the song you are trying to determine the tempo of was not recorded with a click track, then what do you do. (since the timing won't be consistent). I know you can get an approximation, but anything programmed with MIDI will get off time.

Brandon Doherty you wouldnt because an exact tempo doesnt exists. look into ways to stretch the audio to a click track other wise you cant.

When I change the temp of the track it stretches and shrinks the track. I don’t want to shrink or stretch the track I just want to change the click track to match the track. I can’t figure it out

What song is this?

IS THIS PROTOOLS SE OR PROTOOLS CAUSE IF SO WILL,PROTOOLS HELP ME WITH PROTOOLS SE ?....LIKE ARE THEY THE SAME

Pro Tools is not the music industry standard - it is the film industry standard, and we don't generally need bpms when we are cutting sound fx ;)

You call this really easy. I would'nt. Why isn't there seperate audio and midi track tempo's that can be adjusted individually to match each other and play in sinc ? That would make more sense. Or even automatic tempo sync that when you drag a wav or mp3 into an audio track the midi track adjusts itself to that tempo to match. Then you could speed up or slow down both tracks together to how fast you want the track as a whole.

You left out disable stretch.

BAM!
