Thanks for the tips, I may have to go back and give ardour and audacity a closer look. To be more specific I was trying to find an app that detects the beats in a loop and then adjust it's speed to fit into a desired metronome mark. The beauty of that being I could get two loops of similar style but totally different speeds and then join them together. There are loops out there at crazy things like 102bpm so manually adjusting it to fit with a loop at 144bpm gets a bit messy. Thanks for the help. philicorda wrote: >Hi.
