OK, you can get the entire time lenth of a clip by importing it in to any
player, they usually show it somewhere, and if you want sound forge will do
it, but if u follow the steps I outlined it will give you the approximate
tempo in bpm, when u input the number of beats.
 
HTH, D!J!X!

What I'm wanting is the original tempo of the loop before it has been
adjusted with whatever tempo Sonar is set to when the loop is brought in.  
 
The reason is that I need to know the original tempo so that I can import
loops into the Roland RC-50 Loop Station and have them sync up with the
RC-50 guide tempo.
 
Can Sound Forge just tell me the total running time of the loop?  If I have
time, then I can calculate the tempo.
 
Is anybody using the Roland RC-50 that I might be able to glean a few tips
from you?

Wait I'm confused, what do you mean?  Why wouldn't you want a loop to sink
with sonar's tempo, most people wanna do that.  If you wanna find out the
speed of the file, put it in sound forge, count out the beats in it, say 2
bars, 8 beats, 4 bars, 16 beats, etc.  Then you put them in to sound forge's
special>edit tempo box, you choose beats as the format, put in the number of
beats in the box and the box next to it will update itself with the new
speed.
 
Hope this makes sense, as I'm not uite sure what you are asking...

Does anyone know how to determine the specific running time of a Wave file
without importing it into Sonar?  
 
Or, how do I keep a loop from conforming to the tempo setting once I've
loaded it into Sonar.  
 
I need to know the original tempo, or at least the original time duration
and then I can calculate what the original tempo is.
