hmmm, not that automagic as you say :)
first, pitch-shifting has nothing to do with tempo. time-stretching does.
time-stretching has been around in qtractor since,... erm, last previous
release ;)
however, you now get the option to choose between rubberband
time-stretching (which is high quality, sonic-wise) and plain
wsola-based soundtouch which is pretty damn fast but lousy on
not-so-extreme stretch factors.
the automatic thing, if you choose to call it that way, is that you can
apply time-streching to all audio clips as soon you change the (global)
session tempo
otherwise, you can adjust the tempo of each audio clip by dragging the
edges to proportion, by pressing the shift/control key while pressing
the mouse left button (without that, you'll be just changing the clip
length, not its tempo character, got it?)
you see, all that depends on the current session tempo and on each audio
clip length, and else, while editing the clip (Edit/Clip/Edit) you can
subvert all that as real (wo)man :)
gosh. i'm terrible with english :(
