Ehm... if you already have an idea for a track then you should have a feel for what sort of groove it should have and pick a tempo which grooves the nicest.
Or if you're just sketching sarting from the bass upwards, I'd suggest with anywhere near full on... ish trance that you set the tempo a little quicker than you'd usually like to listen. The mopre technical types among us will probably chase me with a rake for saying that, but it can be a big release of inspiration to hear that old stagnant repetivie groove with more breathing space.
Think about the time of day you're feeling and then match tempo with similar tunes. Seems to be the safest bet for dancefloor intended music anyways.

125, 128, 136 - 138, 142 - 147 dance
and slower stuff - 80 - 90 chillout 
and the challenging tempo for remixers hehehe
100 - 110 bpm just to be a dick heheheee
makes good practice aswell to remix ur own tracks at that tempo. |

I do all my production at 60bpm to make things easier when programming, then when it's totally finished and mixed I speed the track up later on till I find the right tempo. The 'Repitch' mode in Ableton is really good for this as it doesn't introduce glitches.

As many people say, the "tightness" of the rythms you make has nothing to do with the BPM of the track.
maybe you should fool around with the attack/release envelopes... -That would probably help.

also nudging certain elements forward and others back can yield 80% of the time great results, and different grooves. |

Of course I work in the bpm of the track! If I want to slow things down I use half tempo function in FL |

I think we can all agree, anything that isn't 146.47 sucks. 
It sounds like you might be sequencing midi tracks in half time if 230 bpm actually sounds better..what are you using?
You believe in the users?
Yeah, sure. If I don't have a user, then who wrote me? |
