Why does each Element loop have a tempo beside it?
Each Element has the original tempo beside it so that you know what tempo this loop was originally created at. If you are playing a song at 120 bpm the best place to start may be with the loops that are around 120 bpm. But you can use any loop no matter what the tempo is notated as. You’ll find that for your specific song some of the slower Elements sped up may sound better then others. The best idea is to try any loop with any song and see what happens, have fun!
