The tempo of Mid Tempo tracks is usually 95 on the slower side, and 110 on the faster side. The reason why this BPM is so cool is that 100 bpm is usually considered the walking tempo.

Allegretto – moderately fast (98–109 BPM) Allegro – fast, quickly and bright (109–132 BPM) Vivace – lively and fast (132–140 BPM) Presto – extremely fast (168–177 BPM)

Mid tempo means (Medium tempo) Is a word use for sounds, beat and music etc, that are neither fast nor slow of medium speed.

Basic Tempo Markings

• Larghissimo – very, very slow (24 BPM and under)
• Grave – slow and solemn (25–45 BPM)
• Lento – very slow (40–60 BPM)
• Largo – slowly (45–50 BPM)
• Larghetto – quite broadly (60–69 BPM)
• Adagio – slow and stately (66–76 BPM)
• Adagietto – quite slow (72–76 BPM)
• Andante – at a walking pace (76–108 BPM)

Vivace—lively and fast (132–140 BPM) Presto—very fast (168–177 BPM)

Midtempo typically features mid-tempo four-on-the-floor beats (though other rhythms have been introduced by producers as well) that accompany heavily modulated, metallic, distorted, and pounding synth leads, hard-hitting and mechanical percussion, and prominent (sometimes heavily side-chained and compressed) basslines.

Think of tempo as the speed of the music. Tempo comes from the Latin word tempus meaning “time.” Once set, the tempo is effective throughout the duration of the music unless the composer indicates otherwise. Tempo is usually measured in beats per minute. A slower tempo has fewer beats per minute or BPM. Conversely, a faster tempo has more BPMs.

Adagio – a slow tempo (other words for slow are lento and largo) Andante – performed at a walking pace Moderato – played at a medium tempo Allegro – a quick and lively tempo (another common word for fast is vivace)

The composer adds modifiers to the tempo markings to indicate how fast or slow the piece should be played. For example, allegro is a very common tempo that means “fast and lively.” If the composer wants to ensure the musician doesn’t get carried away with the tempo, he might add non troppo , which means “not too much.”

Sometimes a metronome mark is used with the beats per minute (BPM) written down. Writing the term for the tempo and the BPM gives the musician reading the music a very clear idea of how it should be played. The image above shows the BPM (in this case 90 BPM) as well as the term andante which describes the tempo.
