i might be a small minority but i do use the tempo-slider regularly. doggiebox is a great tool for my drum practice, and it is very handy to be able to dial down the tempo for patterns where my body is not yet up to the task. i.e. i start slow and work up. in fact, if the lower limit could be dropped to 25% or lower i would be a very happy camper.

Ah, yes, the push-pull tempo slider ... yeah, I never really got comfy with it. It was simpler just to enter known changes directly for tempo shifts.
Yeah. The slider is still there, it's just the little "arrow" buttons that were beneath it. Sterling convinced me that they are probably useless. The only reason they came to be in the first place was because I had recorded some solo guitar track like a year and a half ago, and wanted to playback a drum pattern alongside it which I had made up after the fact. Of course the guitar tempo drifted, so I hacked those in so that I could keep DB approximately in time while I auditioned my drum track. :)
