I was playing around with garage band and put in the song walk with me.  It seemed fast at 120bpm.  Is that the correct bpm? I was just trying to playaround and try recoding.  

Thank you.

Hello David. I just checked

Hello David. I just checked and the full tempo of the song is 92 bpm. Are you trying to use a click track with it? If so, it won't work since these were live musicians (apposed to computer jam tracks for example).

thank you

I am not sure, but I will check it out.  The 92bpm sounds better.  I am not sure if garagband put it at 120bpm or if it was me. I will play around some more and make sure its not using a click track..

 

Thank you!!

Sure, happy to help. Yes,

Sure, happy to help. Yes, programs often have the metronome on as a default and you have to turn it off. It assumes we all have poor rhythm ;-)
