Hi there- been recording tracks into octa. They’re all in time what I’m recording into octatrack and tapped out a tempo that matches. However after dumping the second track it automatically is slowed way down… hmm. Any way to make this not happen and record the time I went in? A global time thing for all tracks or a way to have individual track adjust tempo (I shouldn’t need to adjust any tempo once it’s in there individually just all tracks timing together) Can’t seem to figure it out.
Thanks.

First of all we need more information.
By what process are you recording into the ocatrack? Pick up machines? Or track recorders?
How are you playing the recordings back? Do you have time stretch turned on or off for each of your samples?

Hey there- for flex machines… and thru sometimes. I turn timestretch off becuz apparently sound quality is better that way??? I’m recording them into A B inputs after processing them through pedals.
OT has a global tempo (with tempo multipliers per track of course).
You can set the BPM in sample attributes from the audio editor, but with timestretch off even if there was a tempo set in sample attributes, it shouldn’t make a difference.
OT would just play the sample.
Do you have an LFO assigned to rate or p-locked rate? Scenes active?
Does the same happen all samples you play on that track?
Hey thank you so much!! Solution solved mostly! My only concern now is since I have it on “quantize live record mode” in personalize. I have tempo tapped and things going in at 1/16. Shouldn’t everything line up even if a little off? (I’m recording everything in from ableton all globalized together timewise to be sure it’s in good time going into octa)
Thanks Schnork!!!
If you’re working in Ableton, you can also render all your tracks down to 8 tracks then load them on OT via usb.
or groups of 8 tracks and use Parts/sample locking for different sections of your song. Its also very important that the BPM in the sample settings reflects the BPM for your project if you want clean sync/no artifacts
Hey there- thank you. I’m processing studio stems through some outboard stuff into the A B record inputs otherwise I’d totally just dump them via USB. I’m going to do all the arranging via hitting samples live so luckily things are timing up nice now that I figured out the tempo adjustment in Audio editor.
Thank you!

all gotcha! best of luck. This machine remains a constant source of Joy for most, especially as we learn more about its nature.
Glad to see it works for you!
“Quantize live record” quantizes all incoming midi notes to full sequencer steps. When it’s off you’ll get micro-timed trigs.
