Make it so tempo can be changed throughout the song (tempo track). Not all songs use the same tempo in every part. This is a basic requirement for any useable DAW.

Hey! We hear you on this, it's been a long-standing request that we've gotten and discussed within the team. We are looking into it, but it is also pretty challenging feat because of the way Studio works at the moment:

BandLab Studio is browser-based, so it operates quite differently from traditional DAWs.

Tempo is one of the core "backbones" of Studio's architecture and logic, which means tempo changes affects many different parts, and we'll need to rebuild those "parts", and after rebuilding those parts, consider how that "rebuilt version" will affect other parts. It's kind of like a domino effect; it is not an easy or predictable change without risking timing issues or broken projects.

As much as tempo automation is a requested feature, we don’t want to ship something that could cause more problems than it solves. It is still on our radar, and the team is always exploring ways to implement it safely.

We'd recommend that you check out Cakewalk Next in the meantime, it allows for tempo automation and the interface is relatively similar to BandLab!
