Default Re: Changing note values while changing meter - I'm stumped

You need to set your tracks to sample ref before you do this. Tick ref always refers to tempos in 1/4 notes, so when you try change it to dotted quarter tempo it's changing the note lengths. I know it's a bit stupid musically speaking but it's just one of those quirks. Try this:

1. Set all your tracks to sample ref
2. Set your meter to 12/8 with click to dotted 1/4s
3. Set your master tempo to dotted 1/4 resolution
4. Change your MIDI tracks back to tick ref

Now they should be on the 1/8s as expected.

To be honest I've largely given up using dotted 1/4 click resolution in triple time for this reason, I just change the meter, leave the master tempo in 1/4s (multiply by 2/3s if you need to work it out - 120bpm dotted = 80bpm 1/4s) and program clicks manually with MIDI loops. Melodyne and some other 3rd party apps won't work well with dotted clicks either.
