color notes

At what point do you change the bpm and at what point do you just go with a single bpm?

The song im working on keeps swinging(changes the beat from 16ths to 12ths)
and also keeps changing the tempo(main beat shifts from 8ths to 4ths), at what point do you decide to constantly change the bpm and at what point do you keep it at a single constant bpm value, It's a piano/guitar song btw kinda jazzy.

If my question is a little vague, I can try to explain it more or post my song once it's finished.

I did ask a similar question before, but the song is very erratic and the artist himself even said it was ''awkward''

Would be better if I knew the song you were working on. If it's not fixed BPM you need to nudge every measure.

also the song doesn't sound just by hearing it like the percussion is a red color note, more like yellow color note
(the beat is very weird)

For future use, you should learn some proper terminology so people know what you are talking about.

Red - 4th note
Blue - 8th note
Purple - 12th note
Yellow - 16th note
Pink - 24th note
Orange - 32nd note
Light blue - 48th note
Green - 64th note
White - 192nd

What program are you using? You can tell how off your sync is by turning on clap for beats to see if it lines up with your music.

DDreamstudio, using the claps and red wavefilter. I guess it's the same advice as last time to just manually sync the song. This takes alot of work :/
