It has been seen that various audio clips are produced with different types of tempo and although they are a part of the same song, yet, the overall speed and tempo of each part are different. Hence, it is very important to adjust and change the beats per minute of certain parts of the music, so as to make the overall music very smooth and perfect to hear.

Hence, a music clip which has been composed with variable tempo will tend to have a different speed and pace under certain frame of time and it will show different speed and pace when the music will be played under a different time frame, as the tempo and face changes in both the cases.
