Tempo/ speed problem

I've mixed 3 different small clips into one big clip. When i edit it i can clearly hear that the last part of my wav file is played slower than the beginning (and it sounds better). I know i did a mistake but know How can i make the speed (or tempo...?) be the same as the last part during all the song/clip ?

Thanks.

 

No-one else seems to be answering, so here goes...

You need to explain more clearly what you mean.

Is it that your different takes are played at a different tempo and you want to adjust this electronically? If this is the case I suggest that you are taking the wrong approach. You need to work on playing to a metronome, click track or drum machine to get your playing steady and consistent. If a metronome-like tempo is not appropriate, I'd suggest you should still first practise something regular against a steady beat to train your playing.

On the other hand, if you are saying that your recording gear is recording takes at different speeds, this suggests that you need to investigate the soundcard and/or its settings to sort out what is going on.

I do odd bits of recording guitar, but normally I get depressed and decide to practise for a few more days/weeks/years in the hope that eventually I'll play it right.

To save you any further trouble and effort, I've been doing that for decades - and it still isn't right!

Thanks for your answers. My spoken/Written English is not very good (i'm french) so maybe that's why my questions look "weird". I think your first answer is the right one. In fact i played at a different tempo, and that was not the point so now 'im trying to fix it. Like you said i think it will be better to record the song with the right tempo.

But now i'll have another problem : i'm not a pathetic guitarist, but my knowledge of music theory is really low. I don't  know which tempo i should use in the "metronome fonction" : For me 4/4, 4/3, etc.. it doesn't makes sense. But i don't want to bother you with basic things so i'm going to find it myself.


And lol @      Graeme.

4/4, 3/4, etc. are time signatures - they denote the number of beats to the bar.  That's not the same thing as tempo, which is a measurement of the speed of the beats.

Tempo is measured in BPM (Beats per Minute). A common normal default speed is 120bpm.  The top figure in the time signature denotes the number of beats in a bar and the lower figure is the size of the beats. 4/4 is therefore four crotchets to a bar and 4/8 is four quavers to a bar etc. So with a time signature of 4/4 ie. four crotchets to a bar and a tempo of 120bpm there are 30 bars in a minute.
