I need help!!!

I have two problems:

1)I recently recorded some songs with my band and we all downloaded a program called MixPad to mix the tracks. I mixed one yesterday and sounded quite good...but today I tried to mix a new song and when I loaded the guitar tracks they sounded waaaay overdriven and the tempo was extremely fast. I've talked with my drummer and he says that he is having the same problem. We know that the guitar tracks are well recorded because we both heard them on iTunes and the sounded OK. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

2)Some of the drum tracks are not as good as expected so I was thinking about replacing them using a drum machine, so I donwloaded Hydrogen. The thing is that I need to swap the default 4/4 bar to a 1/4 or a 3/4...how can I do this?

EDIT: ok I just realized I should have posted this in the recording forum. If any admins see this please move it.
