Tempo changing to default for no reason

Post by Billie Page » Sun Dec 11, 2022 6:23 am

Hi guys, sorry if this has already been covered! I'm a newbie to ableton and am tearing my hair out with frustration this afternoon as when I set the click tempo in a session it'll record at that tempo for a certain amount of time then just randomly drop back to the default tempo.. For example I'm recording a track at 135 bpm, everything's going fine, then at say 49 secs in it just drops back to 120bpm for no reason. I've tried a few different things but can't get it to stay at the set bpm...?? Pease help!

It’s quite often due to there being some tempo automation in the set. In arrangement view, press A and on the Master track select Tempo. If there’s any automation just delete it and you should be fine.
