Can’t believe this is the case, but is there really no tempo detect function in the latest release of Elements?
You can use musical mode to automatically put it in time with your project, if that’s your aim?

Also you can read the tempo of an audio file by doing this:-

See what tempo it sets the project to, then undo the change. (Unless you want your project to match the audio file).
I don’t know if the media bay also has the option to detect tempo in Elements, but in pro you can do this, maybe a third option if it exists?:-
Thanks.
I’ll give both a go.
Bizarre that such a simple function is only available in Pro though? There are phone apps that can tempo detect, after all.
