Have you checked to see what the tic value is per quarter note?

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
