Tip #13 - Tempo Track Technique 1 - Logic Studio Tips

How to tap your own tempo into Logic.

*Imagine you had a band come in, and you used this technique to follow their drifting tempo. It's pretty damn handy, and gets your click track in the ballpark, so to speak.

thank you so much, one question though, how do you tap tempo?

[SFLogicNinja]

under the options menu, tempo -> tempo interpreter.

Also, you can tap along to a song, then use the beat matching global track to analyze the beats and change the tempo for you...

I think I cover this later...

If not, email me!

first off, great stuff, and thanks!

tricky question. drummer tracked in another studio already. played well, but not to a click. so i start songs with these files and we built gtr/bass/vox around. it's fine. but i can't clean anything up the way i usually would since there's no grid. could i pull a midi "tap" out of an audio track like the snare, then try this? thanks!

[SFLogicNinja]

Yep.

Pop the hihat or snare into the sample editor, use audio to score function in the factory menu, and detect the tempo using Beat Mapping 'Beats from region'

Hey just a quick question. I am using my midi keyboard to enter notes into logic. However there is like a second of silence at the start and end of my loop. Therefore when I command r and repeat the loops broken. Any idea how to fix this >

[SFLogicNinja]

The first note should be moved so that it actually starts at the beginning of the region. This happens a lot... It happens by playing slightly ahead of where you are recording...

@Mw2Tage I know this was 9 months ago, but did you ever figure out how to change the tempo of one track?

[nmcq333]

Hey just a thanks, after hours and hours with the manual only discover that "tap tempo" wasn't what I wanted. I often receive audio files recorded with no click, and changing tempos. So I need to build a customized tempo map to match these rubato performances, i.e. to tap in a tempo map as I listen, so that in subsequent recordings, other musicians can record to a click that follows the track. And time-based editing works. Anyway, quick visit to YouTube and problem solved by you. THANKS!!

@99djcash Yes, how do you change the speed of individual tracks? No one seems to know?
