Setting the tempo
Each project plays at a constant speed, called the “tempo.” You can choose any tempo between 40 and 240 beats per minute (bpm). The default is 120 bpm, which is a common tempo in popular music.
To set the tempo, do one of the following:
- When you create a new project, drag the Tempo slider in the New Project dialog.
- Click the tempo in the time display, then drag the slider that appears to the new tempo.
- Click the Track Info button to open the Track Info pane, click Master Track, then drag the Tempo slider to the new tempo.
A project can have only one tempo, which lasts for the entire length of the project.
To learn more about the tempo of a piece of music, see the Glossary.
