Butter my arse, i'm always guilty.

I did this all the time when I first started.

One time I couldnt understand why none of the 170bpm amen loops were fitting onto the grid (making DnB back then). I spent ages time stretching them and pissing about so they fit. I sounded like a right bag of shit by the time I had finished.

And then I noticed I had the tempo set to 120bpm the whole time

Twat.

Yeah... I have the tempo set to 140, 3 busses with compression set up, and a dub delay + reverb in the sends. It's called a "template" in Ableton Live.

Take that FL fanboy

Oh and +1 on the forgetting to change the tempo... When I didn't have the template set up yet. I had a couple of tunes going @ 120 ... figuring it out 2hrs later

You can do the same thing in Cubase too.

I have so many drum breaks at 120bpm that I haven't found a proper home for because of this...

You can do all that as a template in FL as well, but, er, better.....yeah.

Used to do this too. I did the following to stop me from doing it again and again:

SET THE TEMPLATE BPM TO 0!!

That way you can't make music or reallyyyyyy slooooooooooooooow and you HAVE to change it.

yaaa did that that other day 120 (cubase) need to change my template, DOH!

Seriously is it that hard to not notice??

done this before, i never notice if i start with something other than beats. should work at a differnt tempo though, take it down to hip hop or 70bpm.

Posted: **Mon Aug 24, 2009 1:33 pm**

First thing i do when open up reason is change the bpm

Posted: **Mon Aug 24, 2009 1:37 pm**

I've done this once, but I was using FL to make the drum patterns. So when I brought it into Ableton it immediately sounded off.

Never been halfway through a track though LOL

Posted: **Mon Aug 24, 2009 1:51 pm**

I barely work at 140, first thing I do is drop the tempo to 133 or 135.

Posted: **Mon Aug 24, 2009 3:02 pm**

I have done this before

haha

Changing the tempo would always screw everything up at that point so .. lol. I started doing the same with Sonar aswell when i started using that. But yeah templates always help and save shitloads of time setting things up, on Reason anyway lol.

120 bpm is evil is it?
