To adjust the tempo of an entire track

You can easily adjust the playback tempo for both Standard Mixing and Beat Mixing.

  1. Right-click the song in the Playlist, and choose Properties.

  2. In the Track Properties box, click Play At Original BPM to remove the check mark.

  3. Drag the slider to the new BPM or type the value, and click OK.

Note  If you’re finding that the playback tempo isn’t even close to what it should be, make sure the original tempo that MixMeister detected is correct. You can find out how to do this in the procedure for correcting a tempo that's way off.

To change the tempo of part of a track

  2. Right-click the tempo box, and choose Edit.

  3. Type the exact BPM you want, and press Enter.
