How To Make Any Sample or Loop Fit Your Project Tempo in Logic X

[@prodbydeclipse1403]

Why did it take me so long to decide to look this up... it's so much simpler than I thought. Thanks.

[@smm19761]

I couldn't agree more :)

[@tristenman123]

You’re definitely not alone here

[@Patri_Fides]

I've been using Logic for two years and I'm barely starting to understand what this DAW is capable of. Chopping and flipping samples is way easier than I previously thought.

[@grüvjunxion]

very true

[@stuffnuns]

I’ve just been discovering the same thing, after using it for years. My boomer techno-fear kept me from it. And now, I’m forehead splapping, cause it’s not hard…at least in this DAW.

[@Wendel_Kos]

(AWSER IS AT 05:00) Thanks man, great video!

[@Plansapiensandthenanother]

Thanks

[@velanche]

I really needed that "opt-drag" trick for importing samples; works like a treat. Thanks!

[@thesophisticatedjellyfish]

That option click drag shortcut made me very glad I watched this video lol. So much easier than the way I've been doing it, and now I know why I keep accidentally lengthening stuff when I'm just trying to copy/paste but click too close to the edge of the sample lol

[@tonyblue1]

You’ve opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me! Thanks 😊

[@ExploredPerpsective]

the Flex Time editing looks like it could be a really powerful tool in mixing things ups a bit

[@marklappin1074]

Thank you so much ...I just got the M1 Mac mini for xmas and have been studying Logic Pro.

[@wyattalexander4041]

Great VID !! Yes option +click 🙌🏻🙌🏻 but I find the fastest way to do this consistently for me is by double click your audio file (TOP LEFT) click TRACK below change to desired flex time option. Then Click “FILE “ on Mac Ctrl + P brings up time and pitch machine type in the Tempo then desired destination ! So many different ways to do the same thing lol

[@maelgwni]

This is an awesome tutorial! Thanks so much Echo Sound Works!

[@brandonparsons3472]

Great Vid! I've been struggling with seeing the purpose of Splice for my preferred genre, Singer songwriter and Indie pop rock. Im typically working with more organic sounds. I was really only able to see Splice's value in more of an EDM application. Not anymore!!! This made it all make sense! Thank you!!!!

[@ChrisLeePiano]

Thanks man you saved my life! I was looking for this all over. Btw, I bought some of the soundsets for serum from Esw and love them!

[@EchoSoundWorks]

Thank you!!!!

[@estevancarlos]

This isn't too important but I think it's worth noting that Ableton invented this concept with their product, Live. I think that historical context is interesting. It's a feature that has existed since the early 2000s.

[@matttelfer1409]

Dude, you just changed my life. 😊

Another great, concise and extremely helpful video. Thank you my brother 🎶

[@rayeverly8659]

man this was everything but concise, just professorial redundancy but the tut is well articulated and helpful nonetheless, could've been 2-3min probably.

[@shpoopadoop]

Just skip to 3:43 and watch until 4:05 that's all the info you need. This doesn't need to be 10 minutes, there's only about 30 seconds of important information.

So simple - thanks! Really helped.

[@itsrelativ3967]

If I have my beats between 95 to 105 bpm I can create an erie time stretch effect on a loop/sample that creates this slow motion feel. If you listen to a lot of trapsoul that uses those BPMs it's amazing how trap can be made at almost any BPM.

[@igornudelman2233]

Awesome video brother! really helpful! Thanks so much!

[@akim14]

thanks man, excellent video and just what I needed. I appreciate you showing the different options as well

[@Gnolas]

Not sure why, but when I press the alt key it doesn't affect the icon in any way. Other keys combinations do affect it but I'm not able to find the one you get in the video. Any tips? Thanks

[@johnviera3884]

is it just me? Flextime only works like 10% of the time for me. maybe it’s because all my samples are older songs with crazy timing. I have to chop them up into bars and then align each bar individually. And then I join them together. Even one flex time gets close, it’s still not locked in correctly

[@mattsaljanin583]

This was so clutch bro thank u

[@thegloriousproducer]

Can you use the same techniques with logic samples?

[@tariqalimusic]

Dope video. What version of Logic pro are you using? Im using 10.3.1 and i don't see that keep temp option in my tool bar.

[@EchoSoundWorks]

Tariq Ali mine is 10.4.2. What view do you have for the transport bar?

[@tariqalimusic]

Echo Sound Works it looks similar to your view if that makes since. When I click inside the transport where yours says “keep” I don’t have that option. I’m guessing it’s an upgrade issue because i don’t have the smart tempo option.

[@smm19761]

I am I correct in assuming this works for any audio file? I have just dragged in a vocal file using the first option you showed and it seems to have worked. Thanks :)

[@EchoSoundWorks]

Yeah any audio file can be warped. Lossless formats like Wav will sound better warped than converted mp3 etc

[@smm19761]

[@DJ_Rain_305]

Tutorial Is great! Question I don't seem to have keep tempo at all not even in customs. I have advanced tools turned on. I'm using a Mac not a PC and I have logic 10.2.4 . Is my logic too old?

[@EchoSoundWorks]

Andre Maubert hey! Yeah might need to update to 10.3 or 10.4

[@DJ_Rain_305]

Echo Sound Works yup I was able to get 10.4.4 and now I’m good.

[@최성준-o9j]

I would appreciate it if you could reply. 1. If use the flex time function to change the BPM, is the sound quality less damaged than fl studio or cubase? 2. The drum sample works well, but when I get the vocal sample, it's a little off. Is there a way?

[@EchoSoundWorks]

Hello! I think some of logics flex modes sound better than FL, but some don’t. Depends on the source material. I don’t like using flex modes on vocals, I think you get a better result by cutting/slicing/fading manually

[@Elixirmusiques]

Great stuff! Thanks a million

Thxs! Very useful!!

[@neveoney7865]

@Echo Sound Works...very nice. Which mode you use for, percussions, which for Vocals and which for Melodies ...flex time Audio ?

[@EchoSoundWorks]

Neveo Ney hey! percussion - slice or rhythmic. Slice if I’m doing a lot a manual edits. Vocals - if they are dry and have no reverb, monophonic. Otherwise polyphonic. Melodies - same thing as above! If the notes overlap at all with glide etc polyphonic.

[@neveoney7865]

@@EchoSoundWorks Nice thanks! You produce most in Logic - not Ableton right ?

[@EchoSoundWorks]

Neveo Ney been using logic since 2006. Been using live since 2017. Now it’s probably 70-30

[@neveoney7865]

@@EchoSoundWorks Okay, thanks, last question, why aren't you all Ableton? I also have both... I'd like to choose one, say the sound quality in Logic is a bit better, or is that a mistake?

[@EchoSoundWorks]

@@neveoney7865 I don't think one sounds better than the other. They just have different workflows. Ableton needs to embrace some of the functionality of traditional DAWS, in my opinion. Things like a mixer view (Logic, PT, Cubase, Fl Studio.etc all have this) as well as comping, bounce in place etc. if logic had a better sampler and drum sampler, I don't think I would ever use ableton. Neither is perfect, and that's ok. I don't think you need to just use one, sometimes switching it up can lead to creative results!

[@hollyking4029]

Hi acho I been watching you every where on KZbin on adsr and achosoundworks I would love if you explain how to organize a sound pack bought from splice and mostly that splice make it always comes with different bpm all over the place I can arrange any pack only them packs it goes all over the place can never understand where anything go or how u can tel how to organize at all its wired what logic would do when I upload them in logic its my way to learn after I have sound pack all in my daw and understand how its been done and cant do this I am frostrated

Is there a way to get auto tempo sync from the browser window while scrolling through a sample library? Like in live, studio one or fl studio. It works with apple loops but not with regular wav files

I haven’t really been active in awhile but many updates ago you were able to convert your wav files to Apple Loops and go from there

[@phillipjones3766]

I've been so frustrated with Logic regarding this function. There are so many drum loops that I drag into logic and they will not conform to the project tempo. I know all these methods you mention but sometimes the drum loop just won't conform. I have called logic and had a tech on the phone on teamview and with both can't figure out why the loop wont conform to the project tempo. Please advise.

[@EchoSoundWorks]

phillip jones hey Phillip, that never happens with me. I am constantly stretching audio. Are you somehow turning off flex time on a track that you warped? Maybe there is a rogue key command or it’s setup up weird

[@phillipjones3766]

@@EchoSoundWorks I'm a long time logic pro user. I'm having a weird experience with the Flex Time. I've resorted to use importing the audio I want to change tempo into LIVE and setting the tempo, importing the new file out, and then bringing it into logic. The HOLD OPTION KEY doesn't work either. It just instructs the audio to duplicate and not stretch. I'm not sure why I'm having these issues.
