Original clip tempo

in Loopy Pro

I have several clips in my project and want to have each one a different tempo at which they were recorded. What setting do I need to change? Or does this have to be done before recording?

    The short version is that all “adjust” actions have save/restore subactions . If you want recording a loop to set the tempo you need to reset the tempo first. To have different clips behave as you describe you set the following schema for each clip:

    Recording:

    • reset clock
    • record clip
    • Save tempo so that it can be restored

    The save tempo would probably be in an end initial record follow action

    Playing:

    • phase align clock
    • Restore tempo
    • Start playback

    The clock alignment might be done in a play follow action

    Here is a primitive example

    Couldn't you just set time-stretch, phase lock, and play quantization off for each loop?
    I tried this with imported loops with different tempos and it seemed to work.

    That is fine if you don’t need the to sync with anything. But if you running drum machines or anything tempo-synched, you need the tempo to switch.

    They are not syncing to anything.

    All I want to do is record a 4 bar count in click for 20 songs.
    Tried turning of phase lock and play quantization.
    Each clip follow still clock.
    Still unclear if it matters to do this for record or playback settings.

    And currently, save/restore tempo rounds > @slinky said:

    Synching with Loopy’s clock is also synching.

    Did you look at the project i uploaded to see how it saves and restores tempo? You can adapt the actions to whatever workflow you like . Depending on your workflow. They might not be in follow actions.

    Describe your desired workflow the series of user actions you want to take)

    Timestetch was the missing ingredient. Missed it.
