Advanced Tempo Operations

Logic Pro provides several different tools and methods for the
creation and editing of tempo events.

This chapter discusses these tools, and covers the relationship between tempo events
and MIDI and audio regions.

Tempo can be changed or edited in the Transport bar, the global Tempo track, the
Tempo List (in the Lists area), with the Tempo fader in the Environment, or with the
Tempo Operations window. In most cases, the global Tempo track or Tempo List will be
your first port of call.

Tempo Display

The current tempo (at the playhead position) is always displayed on the Transport bar,
even if you’re using programmed tempo changes or external synchronization.

To set a constant project tempo:

m

Use the mouse as a slider or double-click, and directly type in a value, on the Tempo
field.

To change the format of the tempo display:

m

Open the Logic Pro > Preferences > Display > General preferences tab, and choose the
desired item from the Display Tempo As pop-up menu.
