How to use several different tempos in a project?

Hey, what's going on? I'm working on a track right now which is at 94 bpm and towards the end of it I would like to suddenly have the music change to a slow beat at around 80 bpm. Is it possible to have the project tempo change for this second slower part of the track? Thanks for the help! //Aron

Right click and choose insert time signature marker. It doubles as a BPM marker also.

You can also choose to have the tempo change on a dime, or to have it gradually change from one tempo marker to another. A little off topic, and I forget where I read it, but there was an interesting suggestion from a producer that for a song that was generally the same tempo, you might still get a little faster by a few BPM for an upbeat chorus and back down for the verse. Rather than have a sudden tempo change (unless that's the specific effect you are going for), it's more natural to gradually build the tempo maybe for the last half measure of the verse, over a drum fill, and then when the chorus arrives, you are at the slightly higher tempo. I guess that's how a real drummer might naturally do it subconsciously. Cheers!
