Kenny! You have saved the rest of my hair from being pulled out! I've been trying to figure this out for the last couple of years with only sad-trombone success. Thanks a bunch!
Damn, just spent 2 hours two days ago to adjust an mix multiple songs by try and error. If I would just have known this! Thanks Kenny, for your work. They are really valuable and your tutorials are my main source of education for anything related to Reaper!
Thank you Kenny. I have been fighting with this for while now. VERY CLEAR explanation. Extremely helpful for some old recordings that I am working on without a click. Keep up the good work!
Another great tutorial, Kenny! I'm new to tempo mapping, and trying to find the tempo of an oldie, "Hello Mary Lou." I've determined it changes tempo slightly throughout the song, speeding up and slowing down slightly as determined by the groove of the band during recording.
I find an easier way is to just make an accurate selection from bar 1 to 3 and then right click ruler -> find tempo from selection. However, this, and the tip in the video only works if the song tempo is constant. If the song doesn't have a constant tempo, the fastest way I find is to simply play through the whole thing, pressing M on each bar. Have to make sure to be zoomed out for this, and it's best if you go in and clean up the marker-positions by hand afterwards.
thanx for advice! but then when u precise moved each marker in place how to move every bar in marker positions? so if the song is about 150 bars it's pretty hard, no?
Having tried a commercial plugin and found that it did not give accurate enough results, I came back to Kenny's video. Not being fluent enough with Reaper made it very hard to do everything just right but I managed it in the end - should be worth the effort and I learned a lot in doing it.
Great videos. I am learning a lot. I have a question. What if you have a piece of music and it was recorded on cassette tape and the tempo drifts? I made a number of tempo markers and moved them around to adjust for the fluctuations in the tape to accommodate this. But this piece of music has an intro to it that leads into the song. I can't figure out how to move the tracks with the tempo markers. When I move the tracks, the tempo markers stay in the same place which is not what I want. Any help?
Hi Kenny!, very clear thanks a lot !! by the way , I'm trying to configure Rewire to talk midi between REAPER (host) and Notion 6 (slave) on Windows 10/64bits; but it only takes the score generated by Notion 6 as audio. I can't get it to convert into midi. Do you have any idea if it can be done? I appreciate your time and consideration in this matter . Kind regards!
Hi Kenny ! I have a question.... is it possible for you to go through all SWS features or if you already done it.... do you have a playlist? I couldn't find it.... I was interested a lot in some tempo manipulation features and Cue Bus generator.... idk there seems to be a lot of interesting stuff that I never touched =(
This is genius! Thank you so much, reaper guru. It's such a good feeling to get more skills to work in my DAW. I do have a question; how do I avoid MIDI note data from moving when I change the tempo??
Thanks for your dedication Kenny. You should just add that prior to the first method you should right-click on the ruler -> Ruler layout -> Display tempo changes. I could not see the markers i.e. could not drag them, so I needed to do this.
When I delete the tempo marker the track stretches back to the original grid lines. I have it on time base, but the grids don't like to stay where I put them? Any help would be great! Is there an additional setting I am missing here?
Hi! Newbie here. I got some tracks with recorded click on them. Tempo changes few times on every track. Click is pretty loud so transients shoudl be transparent. How do I map out automatically the grid according to the prerecorded click including the tempo changes? PLS HELP!
this is the only way for me that BPM wouldn't speed up or alter the rate , setting it in Project Settings wouldn't over ride this setting , had to set it in item for it to work for me , change bpm and NOT rate ! Thanks
Thank you for the explanation! I am still experiencing problems though-after the process is completed and I play the song,from the beginning to about half of the song the metronome is nicely aligned,but as the track progresses the metronome gets more and more misaligned with the song tempo.Could it be a sloppy performance of the artist(the song should be constant tempo from start to end)? Maybe this could be fixed if a few time markers are inserted.
Ok, just a side issue, suppose I'm just doodling a tune and not being tide to a metronome beat, How do I then find the tempo I'm jamming in when I'm using a midi instrument?
Kenny, I don't know if something has changed (or if it's me), but when I remove the tempo marker according to your instructions, the whole song whacks out tempo-wise. Those opening four bars will be fine, but if I remove that 120 marker at bar five, it all goes haywire. The song doesn't immediately snap to the new tempo at the beginning. I've tried multiple times following along closely. Maybe something in the new version has changed? I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Nice, but what about songs which are not recorded to a click track (i.e. songs where the tempo is fluctuating throughout the whole song, as in the drummer for example playing a beat but not always landing 100% on the correct beat in each measure). What can we do with those?
I'm new to Reaper, and your tutorials have literally taught me everything - thanks so much for this great work!
Kenny! You have saved the rest of my hair from being pulled out!

saved a lot of grieff
Super super valuable info Kenny! Thank you again!!
You're a star, man. Thanks for all your REAPER content.
Thank you for this whole series!
That, my friend, is pure genius. I'm new to Reaper and I'm being blown away by the tricks it can do. Thank you...
Thank you so much for all the lessons Kenny...💖
Thank you Kenny. I have been fighting with this for while now. VERY CLEAR explanation. Extremely helpful for some old recordings that I am working on without a click. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Eric!!!
Bless you!! Would never have come across this, and need it often. You're the Man.
you sir, have just saved me hours and hours of using the tap tempo function and trying different variables of decimal bpms. i thank you deeply
Another great tutorial, Kenny! I'm new to tempo mapping, and trying to find the tempo of an oldie, "Hello Mary Lou." I've determined it changes tempo slightly throughout the song, speeding up and slowing down slightly as determined by the groove of the band during recording.
Fan-freakin-tastic!! Thank you Kenny!
Kenny is brilliant, great tutorials. You saved me many times sir
Magic. This is just what I've been needing. All that second guessing and trying out decimal point tempos is (hopefully) done with! Thanks again:)
A video of 2017 saved my life in 2020.
Thank you
Thanks a lot for all your vídeos!
Thanks, Kenny! You really helped me out. You're a panacea for Reaper users. ✨

thanx for advice!
but then when u precise moved each marker in place how to move every bar in marker positions?
so if the song is about 150 bars it's pretty hard, no?
What does M do??
M places a marker on the ruler
Very Helpful Kenny, as always. Thanks.
When you CTL moved the time line. bro. Thank you - From my riddled brain trying to get these mash ups out. Thank you.
Excellent. This was what I was looking for. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Kenny, your clear and detailed explanation much appreciated

I Love your Videos! I wish I could work on a project with you! Keep up the great work!💪🏾💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks, Kenny! That's a very clever way to find the tempo!
top class tutorials, as always. Thanks!
Great DAW and great teacher!
You are awesome brother! Thank you so much for these great tutorials...you just made my life WAY easier with this video!
You are a sweet heart. Kenny
I've spent years doing this the slow way. Thanks so much for this.
I did learn something, Kenny, and damn that was something I always wanted to know. BIG THUMBS UP !!
Life saver! Thanks Kenny!
So useful ! Thanks a ton Kenny !
Thanks. Mind blowing how versed you are in Reaper.
I chose reaper also for your videos, great way to learn. Thanks for this one
There are so many ways to find a song's tempo in reaper omg
BRILLIANT!
Nice tutorial! Clear and concise!
Thanks Kenny, this was really helpful!
THANK you. You da MAN, Kenny!
Thanks so much! love your tutorials
Thank you, I have been trying to figure out how to do this. Thanks
finally! this one video helped me change the click track tempo when the other video's didn't explain it like this. thank you!
Fantastic tutorial! Thank you so much for all your videos, you have really helped me grow into a bedroom engineer.
So simple and informative ....thanks!
Perfect explanation! Thanks! Your helping us learn!
Mestre, Obrigado! 🇧🇷
Another brilliant tutorial when I need it, thanks.

Sounds like an auto-feature Reaper should add to the next update.
Quanti loops ios app calculates a loop tempo very easily... one double click and it does it.
Learned so damn much in this tutorial! Thank you!
OMG, THANK YOU KEN!
So helpful, thanks!
Looking for something like this 2 days ago! Great! 💪🏼
Very learnfull, Thanks!
Incredibly helpful!
this is awesome
Wow, thank you so much! Very informative and well done!
Thanks Kenny. I learned plenty as always and I can use it.
I learnt something. Excellent tutorial.
Hi Kenny!, very clear thanks a lot !! by the way , I'm trying to configure Rewire to talk midi between REAPER (host) and Notion 6 (slave) on Windows 10/64bits; but it only takes the score generated by Notion 6 as audio.

Awesome! Thanks!
Terrific man \m/
Interesting but not so easy this way. Thanks a lot for been. You give Reaper a pretty and solid name.
Hi Kenny !
I have a question.... is it possible for you to go through all SWS features or if you already done it.... do you have a playlist?
I couldn't find it.... I was interested a lot in some tempo manipulation features and Cue Bus generator.... idk there seems to be a lot of interesting stuff that I never touched =(
great video! thanks
Thank you sir your videos are the best. I woe my life. 🤘🏼🤘🏼😭😂. And this DAW is very excellent ❤️❤️
extremely useful
This is genius! Thank you so much, reaper guru. It's such a good feeling to get more skills to work in my DAW. I do have a question; how do I avoid MIDI note data from moving when I change the tempo??
Thanks for your dedication Kenny.
You should just add that prior to the first method you should right-click on the ruler -> Ruler layout -> Display tempo changes. I could not see the markers i.e. could not drag them, so I needed to do this.
This!!! thanks for posting
@@seanraz no problem!
When I delete the tempo marker the track stretches back to the original grid lines. I have it on time base, but the grids don't like to stay where I put them? Any help would be great! Is there an additional setting I am missing here?
Hi!
Newbie here. I got some tracks with recorded click on them. Tempo changes few times on every track.
Click is pretty loud so transients shoudl be transparent.
How do I map out automatically the grid according to the prerecorded click including the tempo changes?
PLS HELP!
Thanks Kenny.
Thanks! Great video! What is the logic when you count the numbers/ beats? I'm fully beginner :) Thank you so much!
when he rounds off the tempo to 77 at the end, does it time stretch the audio or shift the bar lines?
extremely useful vid
You can also right-click the item, "item-settings", hook "Set item timebase to time"
this is the only way for me that BPM wouldn't speed up or alter the rate , setting it in Project Settings wouldn't over ride this setting , had to set it in item for it to work for me , change bpm and NOT rate ! Thanks
This is sooooooooo damn helpful !! Much appreciated thank you very much!
Can I set where beat 1 is w/o trimming? I kinda need the intro leading up to it...
a big thanks !!!
Thank you for the explanation!
I am still experiencing problems though-after the process is completed and I play the song,from the beginning to about half of the song the metronome is nicely aligned,but as the track progresses the metronome gets more and more misaligned with the song tempo.Could it be a sloppy performance of the artist(the song should be constant tempo from start to end)?
Maybe this could be fixed if a few time markers are inserted.
Did you delete the new tempo marker once the tempo was found?
Hi kenny, the new tempo markers dont show the vertical line, any ideas??
thank for the video. Can you do this to adjust time signitures, if somthing goes from 4 /4 to 7/8?
Thanks for helping to do that i know to do REAPER Thank You Very much!
thank you so much!!
Ok, just a side issue, suppose I'm just doodling a tune and not being tide to a metronome beat, How do I then find the tempo I'm jamming in when I'm using a midi instrument?
Brilliant! Cheers. Much safer than relying on an autodetect.
great, thanks Kenny :)
Thanks Kenny, more accurate than tap to tempo. :)
ty for this!
thank you
great!!
Couldn’t you use the tap temp feature as well and tap along with the song?
Thanks. It is really helpfull, saves me some time, and some of my hairs..
Kenny, I don't know if something has changed (or if it's me), but when I remove the tempo marker according to your instructions, the whole song whacks out tempo-wise.

I've tried multiple times following along closely. Maybe something in the new version has changed? I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you!
Reaper is a beast hands down.
if i hold control and drag the time marker it also changes the speed of the track...
Nice, but what about songs which are not recorded to a click track (i.e. songs where the tempo is fluctuating throughout the whole song, as in the drummer for example playing a beat but not always landing 100% on the correct beat in each measure). What can we do with those?
