Speeding up the tempo in cubase sx 2

Hi all,
I have a recording in Cubase sx 2 that is set to a tempo of 200. However I would like to have it start at 200 but build up to 250 in the first few measures. At the end, I would like it to slow down again to 200 (again in the last four measures). Both changes should be gradualy and smooth... How do I do this?
On a different matter: I have a vocal track that should follow suit with the tempo changes. It's in an .aif format, but sampled so I can use it in a midi track. How do I make this track speed up (without changing the pitch if possible)?
How do I fix this?
Thanks a lot,
Gibrril

Does anybody know how to make the .aif files follow suit? Or can this be done by adding a tempo track to these aswell?
Thanks a lot,

Mar 09, 2011 06:11 am if its midi i would suggest the tempo track will work, could be a mission getting it right though.
Mar 09, 2011 07:17 am I see,
When I upped the tempo of the entire track from 200 to 250, the midi track didn't follow suit. Will it work with a tempo track?
I don't mind spending hours and days making it match ;)
The midi track only has one note in it, lasting long enough for the entire vocal track to play... Could that be a reason why the sample won't speed up with the midi track? (as is, it plays at the same speed. As a result the vocal track gets cut short because the lenghts no longer matches in the quicker tempo...)
Thanks a lot,

Mar 09, 2011 08:24 am Right click on the audio file and find 'Time Stretch' (Only have Cubase 3). You can calculate the original tempo with the 'Beat Calculator' under one of the drop down menus, and then enter the tempo you want it stretched/compressed to.
Stretching will include audible artifacts!

I applied the tempo track for the overall speading up and slowing down at the beginning and end of the project, but as I thought, the vocal track doesn't follow suit.
I'll try to do what was said above: timestretch.
As far as I know though, wouldn't time stretch require me to use the .aif sample as an audio files instead of being sampled to a midi track? or can I apply this to a midi track aswell?
Thanks,

Mar 09, 2011 11:10 am Yus, apply to the sample you're using. Whenever I apply the time stretch, I can 'hear' the time stretch... Like a quality reduction. Might not notice it if you're using a short sample?
Mar 09, 2011 11:30 am Yes, I noticed the reduction in quality. I'm going to split up the sample in various shorter pieces, this is going to be a much better approach if I want them to fit with the rest of the project anyways. Thanks for the help, it works great!
thanks,
Gibrril
