Building Beat Maps - Unlock Hidden Tempo in Your Audio

[@Rasenschneider]

I can't live without that. Use it for life recordings. But I never was aware of using those hints. THANKS

[@StratsRUs]

Fantastic ! I already tried it with multitrack recordings and it came out great too.

Love your channel Chris!

[@deviance777]

This is just great. Thank you, Chris.

It took Logic/Apple about 10 years to get this to work well but it does now.

Hi Chris, I have loved what you do for so many years. You have always been my gotoguy whenever I wanted to find out how to do something in Logic. However, I am now in the position where you have left me behind and I suspect quite a few of your following. I don't have an M1, can't afford it, and therefore am not on the latest Logic version and probably never will be. Just wondered if you could do me a favour and add 'M1 Users only' OR 'Logic 10.7.5 UP' in your video titles. It would help to know from the off instead of watching 2-5 minutes of a video to then find out that it doesn't apply to my set-up. I suspect that there will be others in the same boat as me. Although I won't be watching your videos from now on I would like to thank you for all the years of help you have given me and probably 10's of thousands of others. Keep doing what you do, you are a star!

He does state at 01:35 which version of Logic Pro is needed. It is also time stamped in the description and on the video itself.

[@thaddeuscorea]

excellent video. I am guessing that when you recorded, the performer listened to the session click at 114bpm only for a count off? Logic seems to do better with Smart Tempo if it is at least in the ballpark like your example.

[@peterstevens7401]

Thanks as always Chris - great / clear / detailed explanation. Thanks in part to past videos, I feel good about using smart tempo and beat mapping. I have hit one issue though . . . if a MIDI track is involved, I've found no way to keep it in time with the project after applying the tempo map across the project. Have you tried that / found a solution?

[@thomasschumacherOFC]

Thanks so much for this, a very helpful tutorial. Despite the latest improvements Logic's Beat Mapping and Smart Tempo functions are still nowhere near Ableton Live's capabiliities. Hopefully Apple will catch up on day.

[@JDCottonMusic]

why did you bounce in place both of those first two tracks instead of using the top original recorded tracks?

[@bjoernvonkaenel]

He explains it in the video.

but then if I program drums with that tempo beat map, they sound horrible. the groove and pocket is off. so then I try to correct the guitar with Flex Time to align it with a solid grid, and it ruins the guitar. * although my guitar is way more off than this guitar. the performance I’m working with goes from 83-86-84 in a 4 bar playback length
