It sounds different because the Groove clip on Track 4 is no longer following
the default project pitch of E, instead it follows its own root note of C.
Next, let’s add some pitch markers.
To Add Pitch Markers
1. Click the Solo button in Track 4 to solo the track.
2. Right-click in the Time Ruler at the beginning of measure 1 and select Insert
Marker from the menu.
The Marker dialog appears.
3. In the Groove Clip Pitch dropdown, select C and click OK.
4. Create another pitch marker at the beginning of measure 2, this time
selecting F from the Groove Clip Pitch Change dropdown.
5. Double-click on the clip in track 4 to open the Loop Construction view.
6. In the Loop Construction view, click the Follow Project Pitch button to enable
it.
Listen to the project. Because the default pitch of the project is now C at
measure 1, the clip in track 4 sounds at its original pitch, because its original
root note is C. When the Now time reaches measure 2, the project pitch
changes to F, which forces the clip to transpose all of its data up a perfect 4th,
from a root note of C to a root note of F.
Now let’s change the tempo of the project.
Changing the Tempo of Your Project
Groove clips follow the project’s tempo, so we can change the tempo, either for the
entire project or just one part, and still have all our clips playing in time with each
other.
To Change the Project Tempo
1. Select Insert-Tempo Change from the menu.
2. In the Tempo field, enter 110 and click OK.
The project’s tempo is now 110.
Play your project. Do you hear the difference? Try other tempos.
Now that we have created a project that uses existing Groove clips, let’s take the
next step and learn how to create our own Groove clips.
