ya i seen that, but when i have a track loaded into the timeline, it will not let me enter a value. Is it that im importing songs the wrong way? K this is what im trying to do,.. Take the song lollipop from lil wayne and make it 140 beats per minute, without making the voice sound like the chipmunks. If i can get help with that, it would be great. Thanks again. The programs i have is logic pro 2 and soundtrack pro. which one would be the best to use?

Setting the tempo in STP will change the tempo of any audio files that have apple loops information - that is, they have metadata in the audio file that gives STP an indication of where the beats lie. So if the audio file doesn't have that metadata, it's not going to change with the tempo change in STP.

I don't have Logic, but that might have some kind of beat detection analysis that you can run for that song, and change it there. The other option is to try to add that information to the audio file using the Apple Loop Editor. Soundtrack alone is not going to help you.
