what are some good tempos

Almost everything I do in my DAW is sub-100 (and often much lower).

Right now I've got Spark set to 90 bpm. (I almost always use something that's a factor of 3...so 72bpm/75 is something I enjoy for drum machines + synths).

For ambient stuff (pianos with sequencers that sound like they're part of a complex modular setup, then I'll go anywhere from 20bpm to 54 bpm). ---Everything is fed into delays, so I do a lot of down-tempo stuff that cascades across delays in series. (something weird/resonant into another delay, then finally into a tape/wire emulator).

big fan of 80-95. current band i play with seem to do nearly everything at 140+. they gotta chill!

Two or three is good. Six is pushing it.

i’ve never timed them, but i think my loops are usually in the 60-85 bpm range. much slower than the band stuff i wrote in the 80s or the techno i used to mix the latter of which was about 120.
