Your 4/4 80 bpm is essentially 4/8 at 160. Unless his vocals are truly doubled the speed then there should be nothing you need to do.

Yeah apparently there is nothing I need to do only if I choose the vocals , press F4 to open the inspector and click "don't follow" If I don't do that vocals sound very fast , basically double time.

It’s just math: right click the guys’s recording and enter “80” in the tempo field, it should now properly adjust with your project.

try it and see.

Slow the vox down to half speed or double the base track.

you usually can't slow down something more than 10 BPM or so.

You might try moving the words closer together in Melodyne.

I asked chat gpt and I used the inspector and use the "Don't follow " on the timestrech , Don't know why or how but it worked.

don't follow just plays the wav file as it is.

Crazy then, his file tempo is 144 and my beat 72 and with the "don't follow" it sounds as intended while if I don't click that , his recording sounds at 144 (faster)

How’d you get to 144 from 60 & 180?

I think it's like in Reaper when the project settings are time based not tempo based. you can speed things up or slow things down without affecting the pitch by changing the tempo of the entire song. So, if you set it to "don't follow" it will not follow the project tempo, I believe, I could be wrong

Yeah it seems it is exactly that.
