Tempo fades in Pro Tools?

[Rufuss Sewell]

Hi, I usually use Logic, but I also have an HD system. I'm trying to transition myself to do tracking and editing in Pro Tools, then switch to Logic for mixing.

In Logic there is a tempo track and you can just draw a diagonal line (like with any automation) to make a tempo ramp, or ritardando. I can't find a function like this in Pro Tools, but it must be there?!? I can't imagine that all of the pro's just go without speed ups and slow downs while working in PT.

If there isn't a simple function, how do you guys deal with songs that slowly speed up or slow down? Basically fading from one tempo to another over several measures.

Click on the little triangle to expand the Tempo Timeline. A "lane" will open up allow you to edit or draw it there. Also, check out Events/Tempo.

Ok, I figured it out. I knew about the tempo lane, but my problem was with the pencil tool. I had it set to "Square" and it needed to be on "Line"

In Logic, the pencil tool will automatically change from square to line to curves depending on how you use it so I got confused. Thanks!
