For a very long clip, I recommend setting the first point at 8 measures or so, then seeing what beat the last event should fall on, undo the 8-meausre set point, and set that last event to establish an overall average tempo, and roughly align the whole clip so that it's easy to see what beats other events should fall on in the middle of the clip, and decided how many you need to snap to tighten up the timleine match. If the clip didn't start at 1:01:000, go to the tempo view, and change the tempo at 1:01:000 to match the first tempo SONAR inserted. If the clip was recorded to a click, and/or was quantized, that may be all you need to do if not, you can set additional beats every few measures or every measure, or even within measures or beats (note that beats are divided into thousandths, not 960 ticks, so 02:480 is 02.500).Ħ. Count out several measures listening to the clip (or go to the last event if the clip is short) set the Now time at the beginning of that event by tabbing to it, and use Ctrl-M (or whatever the new hotkey is) again to set the correct measure and beat in the timeline to the absolute time of that event.Ĥ.SONAR will alter the tempo at the first point you pinned to make the timeline match the clip without altering the clip, and add a like tempo value to the beat you set as a refvererence for setting subsequent beats.ĥ. If that time is not 1:01:000, use Set Measure/Beat At Now (was Ctrl-M for 4 years before X1 - don't remember what they've changed it too ) to "pin" that first beat so that becomes the reference point for determining tempo.ģ. Drag the clip to align the first event wherever it should be in the timeline.Ģ. I can safe it as a project, but no matter what I do, when I try to change the 120 bpm of the project to the "right" 138 bpm, the midi is accellerated as well.ġ. I can play the midi using the play button (and it plays with the instrument I have specified in the preferences for midis). midi file.Ī new Window opens with the midi File, and the global bpm of Cakewalk is set to 120 bpm. So I opened cakewalk without creating / opening a project. Now the MIDI file is ready to be used as a regular Cakewalk project. Save the MIDI file as a Cakewalk project.If TTS-1 was added to the project, change the TTS-1 audio track to the bus. Regardless of the MIDI output preferences, no buses are created so it may be desirable to If no MIDI output devices are selected in preferences, TTS-1 will automatically be setup to use the MIDI file.

Do not create a project then use File > Open.
