You can think of the Conductor Track like you would an actual conductor leading an ensemble of musicians. The click track will respond to any changes indicated by the Conductor Track.<\/p>\n<p>Next, make sure you have the Tempo Ruler visible in the Rulers section of the Edit window. You\u2019ll find Rulers just above the very first track in your session. Click the drop-down menu at the top, and select Tempo.<\/p>\n<p>One of the simplest ways to create a tempo change is to select the bar where you want to insert the change and click the \u201c+\u201d next to the Tempo Ruler. A window will pop up allowing you to type in the new tempo.<\/p>\n<p>For more precise linear tempo edits, you can draw them in manually. Start by expanding the Tempo Ruler by clicking the arrow to the left in the Rulers section. You\u2019ll notice the <a href=\"https:\/\/promixacademy.com\/blog\/how-to-change-tempo-in-pro-tools\/\">tempo changes<\/a> appear as blocks, from which you can draw in tempo information using the Pencil tool.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGUXJyWXpyaXN6dFUlMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXIlM0IlMjBhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMGd5cm9zY29wZSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/promixacademy.com\/programming-tempo-changes-in-pro-tools-cheatsheet\/\">Download the Programming Tempo Change Cheat Sheet here<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Jon Connolly is the most sought-after Pro Tools instructor in the world.
