Set project properties
Project properties overview
Each Logic Pro project has properties that include the project tempo, key and time signatures,
and more. You can set project properties when you create a project, and change them later while
you’re working. Some project properties, such as tempo and sample rate, should be set when
you create the project if possible, because they can affect recordings or media files you add to
the project, creating extra work.
Set the project tempo
You can set the basic project tempo in the LCD. The tempo is displayed in beats per minute
(bpm), ranging from 5 to 990 bpm. You can also tap the tempo using your computer keyboard.
When Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, you can set the
project tempo in the Tempo track or Tempo List.

m Click the icon on the left side of the LCD and choose Beats & Project, then do one of the following:
