Does anybody know how to really fine tune a tempo change... I'm zooming in as much as I can but I can't really nail the exact tempo that I'm looking for... For example if I want 106 I can get 105.94 or 106.06 but never 106... I know it doesn't make any difference but it bugs me to see decimals on a bpm...
Thanx

Fine Tuning Tempo Envelope Breakpoints....
When you say "type" the number, you are talking about at the top-left of the sceeen, right.
How do you fin tune the tempo when editng a tempo envelope breakpoint?
For examle, you double-click on the tempo line in the master track and try to drag (with command) for fine resolution and you can't get whole values sometimes.
Any help would be great!

I stumbled across that issue as well. Couldn't get bothered to post it, though 
I had 3 tempi changes in a 30 minute piece of music. Every change to the tempo envelope on the master track took ages. I reckon the gui needs a lot ressources to get updated after every change. Zooming in with the upper/lower boundary values didn't make it easier at all. In my case it was impossible to set decent values!
Maybe the abes should add possiblity to enter numerical values for points on the envelopes.

i've struggled with this one as well - i use a lot of tempo changes in my mixes so i had to find a workaround... what i do is increase the size of the master track on screen til it's filling like half the screen - then you can get a finer tuning than if it's normal size.
on a similar note, why the hell does live default to these values (like tempo at 105.94 or 106.06)? it's the same with volume breakpoints - click to create a breakpoint + it'll create at 0.2 or -0.2, then you'll have to ctrl-drag to adjust it to zero. why will it not create a breakpoint on zero? this really bugs me. i just can't see why it is like it is... surely it would be a hell of a lot easier for everyone if it created breakpoints + moved them in quarter-dB increments, unless you were fine-tuning?
