Whatz the deal peeps.

I have a newbie question.  I have had my 2000xl for like a year and a half, but just now geting around to start using it.
Been djing and doing clubs for a sec.  Well anyway i was working on some tracks and i was wondering if it is usual to have three different seq's at three different bpm's.  Ex.  Say i have a loop on seq 1 at 93.4bpm( first part of sample looped perfect)  then on the second seq i have 94.8 bpm( looped perfect as well).    Then here is the killer the thrid main part of the sample is 95.5 bpm Is this right?   If not please let me know what i might be doing wrong.  I thought that one tempo is used through out the same song.
Thank You For the help

There's no rules - live performers dont play to the same BPM throughout a track, they'll maybe speed up a bit a points in the song to increase the tension, etc - that's one of the problems with dance music, it never speeds up slightly or slows down. Of course, you'll have to make sure that each loop is attached to its own sequence so you can then set each sequence to match each loop's bpm[/color]
