Jan 19, 2009 - 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 Says:

Jan 19, 2009 - 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' *bows*

Feb 12, 2009 - this didn't post last time, i dunno... GREAT tutorials. i have this issue come up all the time, maybe you can help: i have, say, a chant with no drums or tempo information that i want to sync up with a drum beat... how do i do this? i know it can be done, but i'm new to logic. SF? anyone? i am not entirely sure that the chanting has decent timing... should i just tap the tempo to the chant and then put a loop in that with tempo? i would like to choose a tempo and change the chant. thanks!

Mar 22, 2009 - does logic have there own version of cubase's beat calculator? e.g. you record your track, open the beat calculator then tap the tempo to the track and it gives you a bpm value, because ive recorded a track and i want to program the drums but id left the tempo at 120,....done

May 24, 2009 - thank you so much, one question though, how do you tap tempo?

May 27, 2009 - wow thankyou so much man

jamesgarvey12345 Says:

May 27, 2009 - yeah i need the same answer

SFLogicNinja Says:

May 27, 2009 - 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! *bows*

Jun 30, 2009 - So simple and good video. I just tap as good as I can, edit same if necessary and then beat-match it to my rather free-tempo piano track. Then I can quantizie other stuff to that.

flemingway Says:

Jun 30, 2009 - Tap means Play. You set Logic to record: play (hit) any note on a midi-keyboard or the computer-lock keyboard in the tempo you want. Tap the keyboard at every 1/4 beat or what ever you choose. The beat-matching is gonna read you notes as a beat-rythm. To tap a tempo: just hit any key in the tempo you want during the song and record it. Then use the function described here.

Jul 20, 2009 - is it possible to copy the click for the so that it play out for a whole song, because my band is starting to use sample for playing live and i need to be able crate a click tract that i can pan to one side for all our songs. thanks!

EppstaProductions Says:

Jul 21, 2009 - its really amazing what you can do with logic studio. i'm starting to become an avid user of the program. check out the music "DON'T LOOK BACK" that i composed using logic studio. i have others too.

Jul 30, 2009 - Big thx! Cheers!

MonroeEnt Says:

Aug 29, 2009 - Hey Logic Ninja, Did you cover how to use the Tap Tempo and the setting on the tempo interpreter. Please get back or if you did, lemme know the video to look at. It would really help Thanx

jukea Says:

Sep 1, 2009 - Awesome tip! It brings me halfway to what I'm trying to do : take a track with free tempo and straighten it up . E.g : warp a song into having a fixed tempo, based on the beatmapping, I think this must be possible . Would you know how to do this ? Mayb esomething involving the new flex feature...

4initialD Says:

Sep 10, 2009 - Logic makes me mad sometimes, i wish i knew understood it in and out. all im trying to do is match an acapella to a beat i made, but i have to search online for 2 hours and no cigar...

Munki6 Says:

Sep 15, 2009 - yeah I'm stuck with this problem as well. Anyone know if there's a way to link the track to your click instead of linking your click to the track?

ciloxix Says:

Sep 16, 2009 - hey, can you tell me how to make something i recorded faster, cos i cant find out how to do it, i just got logic like a day ago, and have no idea what im doing :L thaankss

heymicah Says:

Sep 30, 2009 - That is cool. Can you quantize or snap drums to the altered metronome you just created? Thanks in advance. If so how?
