The simplest way to change the BPM in Ableton is via the tempo bar in the top left corner of the Ableton interface. All you need to do is left-click on the BPM field, type in a new BPM value, and hit the Enter key.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have started on your project in Ableton and realize you can&rsquo;t change the BPM for your song.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If only you knew just how many ways there are to change the BPM in Ableton &ndash; this tutorial shows you how.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By reading and following this tutorial, you&rsquo;ll learn the simplest of those and progress to the more complex ways to change BPM using Ableton&rsquo;s Warp functionality and expand your music production knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What You Will Need to Follow This Tutorial<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A computer installed with Ableton Live<\/li><li>A MIDI controller connected to

your preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ableton also allows you to change the BPM at a more granular level if required.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to increase or decrease the tempo by less than one beat per minute,&nbsp;<strong>hold down the SHIFT<\/strong>&nbsp;key while speeding up or slowing down the BPM by 0.1BPM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To the left of the BPM field in the Ableton interface, you&rsquo;ll see an icon that says&nbsp;<strong>Tap<\/strong>, where you can set your desired tempo yourself using mouse clicks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use the Tap function, you click the&nbsp;<em>Tap&nbsp;<\/em>icon at the speed at which you want your project to play with your mouse, and Ableton records the tempo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It then deciphers the average BPM of four mouse clicks and displays this as a number in the BPM field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Using Warp Mode To Change The Tempo In Ableton<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can alter the tempo of an audio clip in Ableton by using its warp and Segment BPM functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, complete the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step One: Open your audio clip<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<strong>Arrangement View<\/strong>, double-click the&nbsp;<strong>upper section&nbsp;<\/strong>of the audio track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The clip displays as a waveform in the lower display and the clip&rsquo;s properties are also displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that you can achieve this from Session view by clicking the audio file anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step Two: Activate Warp Mode<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To switch on Warp mode, navigate to the&nbsp;<strong>left of the waveform<\/strong>, and click the&nbsp;<strong>Warp button<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When enabled, this turns orange.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img
