How can you increase the tempo of a Pro Tools session?

Increasing the tempo of a Pro Tools session is primarily accomplished by changing the tempo in the Tempo field. This field allows you to set and adjust the beats per minute (BPM) for your project, which directly affects how fast the playback occurs. When you adjust the tempo, all MIDI tracks and any tempo-synced audio will follow this new setting, providing a cohesive performance that aligns with the specified tempo.

While adjusting MIDI groove settings might influence the feel of a MIDI performance, it does not directly change the overall session tempo. Adding more audio tracks or modifying audio files do not inherently affect the tempo either. They primarily increase the complexity or change the content of the session but do not alter the playback speed of the entire project. Therefore, the most effective and accurate method to increase the tempo is through the Tempo field.
