hi im new to using sonar i currently am using sonar le with a roland quad capture. what i need is to be able to change the tempo of the song i'm trying to record (and many others) in a specific place and change the click as well! for eg. on bar 84 i need it to change from a 6/8 100 bpm to a 4/4 120 bpm but i cant find a way to change the tempo the time signature changes fine but not the tempo. this is almost a rhythmic modulation from 6/8 to 4/4 through a polyrhythm but it slows down slightly which is why i cant just use the same click for the whole song. thanks and it would be much appreciated if i get help for this soon

Welcome, Sean.
Click Views>Tempo in the toolbar.
This will open a tempo map where you can change the BPM anywhere in the project.
You can also draw in gradual tempo changes if needed.
This will directly affect the metronome and MIDI tracks, but will not alter audio tracks.
It looks like you want to set the tempo changes before you record your audio tracks, so you've got the right idea.
LE is pretty lean on documentation, but spend some time with the help files. Lots of good info there.
Don't be afraid to ask questions here, though.
