You would have to do this manually in SD3 and would probably be tedious. Most DAWs have beat mapping features that do exactly what you need. Best to do it there and then import it into SD3.

I asked a similar question in another thread. Linking MIDI is a pain in this regard. Most grooves default to 120BPM. Luckily some of them have the actual BPM in the groove name.

The ability to change the tempo of grooves in the browser in their right click menu would be nice.

For a 4-bar groove, I could see that as something doable. For an entire song, I would still do this inside a DAW.

Oh yeah, I’m talking strictly while browsing & previewing.

If you are creating midi from individual audio tracks, you can do this in the Tracker tab at the top. Above the top track there is a “Global Tracks” section with Tempo Map and Time Signature. Set these to the desired rate then export the midi. If the drummer is sending you midi files for each instrument (snare, kick, cymbals, etc.) you could convert these to audio in your DAW, put them in the tracker, and use the above method. Now that I type it, it seems a little cumbersome.

It may seem a silly question but can’t you get your drummer to record the midi in using the correct tempo? If the drummer is able to record midi then surely they know how to do this. I swap midi all the time and also provide the tempo it was recorded at.

You don’t even need to know the tempo if you have the drummer playing to a guide track. If the guide track is in your DAW, you most likely have the tempo already set to which you can drop the MIDI and fine-tune it from there. Most competent DAWs these days should be able to beat map so that the MIDI lines up.

If the drummer is sending you midi files for each instrument (snare, kick, cymbals, etc.) you could convert these to audio in your DAW, put them in the tracker, and use the above method.

Why would you go from MIDI to audio back to MIDI again?
