Default first post - changing tempos

Hello,

My first post which no doubt will be covered elsewhere.

I am trying to record a tune that shifts from 86bpm to 126 and back to 86. I set a tempo marker for the change to 126 and another back to 86 but what happens is the tempo changes to 126 and slows down each bar by a little until it reaches 86. Any idea where I am going wrong?

Love Reaper so far!

You have to right click on the tempo line and set the slope to square rather than linear

select all the point and change the shape to square... that way you get immediate tempo changes

As lexaproductions already mentioned:

Right-click on the Tempo Envelope line or on a Tempo Envelope Point and choose an available option:

- Set point shape -> Square
- Set shape for selected points -> Square

I didn't know about the tempo envelope but found it now. Cheers

another way [reaper often has more than one way to do something]

open actions list, in search type SWS tempo markers

IF you do have the SWS extensions installed [If not, do get them] you'll see an action to set the points to square... it should change any selected tempo markers to the square shape...

You can also put that action on a toolbar and keep it handy...

I did not dbl check but I'd bet there is a matching action to change them to linear shape
