Doubling the BPM would fix the problem of never running out of overdrive.

Is there any way to change the note spacing in relation to the new BPM, or will I have to go through and fix it by hand?

Select all notes, set the grid to half the length of the first note, while pressing CTRL drag the first note back or forward 1 tick, depending on whether you need to double or halve the tempo.

So the solution is to double the tempo rather than, you know, remove some of the overdrive markers?

Exactly. The overdrive placement feels right, it just feels like it should be draining faster. Since it’s a quicker-paced punk song, not a ballad.

Not the best approach though. I mean, if the song is actually at 166 BPM, your issue is first and foremost that, the OD is just a byproduct. If, on the other hand, the song is at 83 BPM, the amount of OD placed should be reduced.

If the song is a constant BPM what you can do is change the BPM in the overall project. Then select all MIDI tracks, right click and select “Source Properties,” then at the bottom there’s a checkbox for “Ignore project tempo, use:” and enter the original BPM (Note: Make sure you actually check the box and not just enter the number, nothing will happen if the checkbox isn’t checked.) Once you’ve done that for all MIDI tracks. Select them all again, right click and select “Glue Items.” You might have to quantize the notes in the MIDI track, just double check to make sure.

Word of warning, this will not double the BEAT track, which is what controls OD drain like Bearz said. You’ll have to either double it, or let MIDI cleaner make the BEAT track for you (aren’t C3 programs just great?! ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />)
