Exporting MIDI files from ezdrummer 2 in cubase

[Mirko.Burroni]

Hi everyone as you see in the title i have a “problem” with this
i mean the file midi exported for example has 130 Bpm once i import it in cubase it gets slow (bpm cubase 120) but shouldn’t it keep the bpm exported?
and in this way the others track get faster

how i avoid that?

No. The MIDI file should follow the tempo in Cubase. If you want the file to play at 130bpm, you need to set the Cubase tempo to 130bpm.

and if i recorded before a guitar track it gets faster than i should be if i speed up the midi file this is my problem
should i record the guitar track after importing the midi file?

I’ve recorded my guitar part first (to a click) and then added drums. I’ve also done drum tracks first and then added guitar. The important part is that I pick a tempo first and stick to it (if recording audio first). If you’re not recording audio and just use MIDI, you can change tempo anytime. But if you’re recording audio first, you should pick a tempo and stick to it.
