Setting up a Fixed Project Tempo
If your music does not contain tempo changes, and the tempo track is deactivated, you can
set up a fixed tempo for your project.
When the tempo track is deactivated, the tempo track curve is grayed out. The fixed tempo is
displayed as a horizontal line in the tempo curve display.
If you know the tempo of your music, you can adjust the tempo value in the following areas:
•

•
Current Tempo field on the Tempo Track Editor toolbar
If you do not know the tempo of your music, use one of the following tools to calculate and
set it:
