It might have an effect on playback; just not sure. Look in the options/project dialog. Worth a try.

The song should be playing at about 80 bpm at a 4/4 time signature. However, when I hit record, or start the metronom, the metronom is playing way faster than what the beat is playing at, (metronom = 120 bpm.) I've tried deleting any tempo change controlers that might be inserted, but that hasn't fixed the problem. Any thoughts? Thanks. OMAR BINNO WEBSITE: www.omarbinno.com AIM: LOD1116 SKYPE: obinno1
