Tempo/Key Change bar

The Tempo/Key Change bar may not be visible until the first time you change the tempo or key from the Insert menu. Once the Tempo/Key Change bar is visible, you may make changes directly on tbe bar. 

Changing the tempo does not alter the pitch or key of a song or loops, within reason. There are limits to this technology, and some distortion may occur if the project tempo is radically different from the original tempo of the loop. This can be heard most easily in vocal loops. The original tempo of a loop from Sonic Foundry in beats per minute is displayed in the information bar along the bottom of the Explorer window (see Figure 3.11).
