How do you set tap tempo from the tracks view

Once you have a GarageBand Project open, you can't change the Tempo via "tap", that feature doesn't exist in GarageBand.

Here is a workaround A:

• Let's say you have your current GarageBand Project Open "Hit Song"
• Open a new Project (cmd+N), which will close "Hit Song"
• The Project Chooser Dialog opens, where you can use the Tap Tempo button to find your tempo to find the BPM value
• Instead of creating a new Project (you were only pretending) select the "Recent" item in the Sidebar and your "Hit Song" should be right there where you can double-click on it to re-open it.
• Enter the BPM value

Here is a slightly more expensive solution:

• Spend $199 to buy Logic Pro X
• Spend the next three month to learn the basics of Logic
• Import your GarageBand Project "Hit Song"
• Use the the built-in Tap Tempo feature in Logic
• You can even use the Touch Bar to tap the tempo (which requires to spend another $2000 on new MacBook Pro)

Hope that helps
