Chapter 5: Working with Pro Tools LE 39
Setting a Tempo
You can set the tempo for your session by using
the Song Start Marker, located in the Tempo
Ruler.
To set the session tempo with the Song Star t
Marker:
1 In the Tempo Ruler, double-click the Song
Start Marker.
2 In the Tempo Change dialog, enter the BPM
(beats per minute) value you will use for the ses-
sion (so the inserted tempo event replaces the
default tempo).
3 To base the BPM value on a different note
value (such as an eighth-note rather than the
default quarter-note), select a note value in the
Resolution section.
4 Click OK.
Using the Click Plug-In
The Click plug-in creates an audio click during
session playback. This works like a metronome
that you can use as a tempo reference when per-
forming and recording.
The Click plug-in is synchronized to the tempo
and meter of the Pro Tools session, and follows
any changes in tempo and meter.
Click Parameters
MIDI In LED Illuminates each time the Click
plug-in receives a click message from the
Pro Tools application, indicating the tempo.
Accented Controls the output level of the ac-
cent beat (beat 1 of each bar) of the audio click.
Unaccented Controls the output level of the un-
accented beats of the audio click.
