Map (& Record) Tempo Like a Pro in Logic Pro

[@bryanvelasco7162]

This KZbin channel makes my life less stressful.

[@coltonlapp4193]

When these videos hit I immediately stop doing my job and start watching Why Logic Pro Rules - best way to round out every week

[@bradleyhagen4564]

Chris- Your videos are simply amazing - I have been a DAW user since Cubase 3 back in 1997, was on Pro Tools for years, and now Logic since version 8.... I try to watch 1 or 2 of your vids every single day as a new subscriber, and ALWAYS pick up something new - deleting the embedded tempo information in an audio file?? WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT! Great job, and keep up the good work!

[@graphicsilence2269]

What a brilliant masterclass-level overview! Thank you for sharing your tutorials with the Logic community and the larger public community!

[@thaddeuscorea]

Using Logic professionally since 2000. I never knew how to scrub embedded tempo data! NICE!

[@garyprocter9400]

Hi Chris I’ve followed your channel since October last year when I bought pro logic. Thanks for making these great videos, I’ve learnt so much about logic from them. Thanks again Cheers Gary From the U.K.

[@mybiggrin]

Midi Environment is certainly a means for mapping an external fader to your host tempo if you would like to. Great tips. Thank you.

[@scorwitz]

As always, a wealth of great and easily digestible information! I return to your videos more often than any others, and I remember them when I come across an issue that I know you've addressed.

[@PaulEubanks]

Timely (no pun intended)! This video explains why I was pulling my hair out with a mixed set of MIDI and audio tracks when trying to adjust the tempo. Logic really needs to be able to handle audio file tempo better.

[@wiseaxe]

Very cool-this is one of my favorite channels!

[@andromeda-gb2vm]

I've been learning something new every week for theere years from you and logic pro. thanks to applea and you 🙏🙏

[@tilleyroadaffairproduction6752]

Thank you my friend I just love relaxing and watching your little Logic pro Tutorials. You inspire me everytime.

[@Imagineyourmusiccom]

finally! I was looking for this explanation adjusting midi with audio since months! thank you so so much!!

[@heartshinemusic]

Great video as always. Well, to avoid any frustration just create your tempo map while working with only MIDI / Virtual instruments. Then determine the final tempo map before you start recording any audio.

[@HMonk-hd1zr]

Two videos in one week!!! Thank you very much!

[@edition49]

Very good explanation!

[@johnwade7430]

This is great to watch - thank you. I knew much of this but it is so much better to see it happening weather then just read about it. Thanks again:-)

[@reelbyrnemedia4637]

This is a great tutorial! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and great teaching style.

[@weigelmc]

Incredibly helpful, as always. And now I have a new sub-toy in LPX to play with: MIDI Environment. There goes the weekend!

[@dafingaz]

Tempo list view is great for film work!

[@doug941]

Good stuff Chris! Thank you! Best email I've gotten all week!

[@randypiano11]

Awesome Chris! Thank you!

[@GhoulUisce]

I'd like to have logic "learn" the tempo of an existing piece of audio as the outro of a song slows down, it's almost in free time, but I need to make a click track for it. Smart tempo won't accomplish this for me. Any ideas?

[@louistotalcontrol]

I'd also like to see a video on this topic!

[@AndySpillerMusic]

Yeah, that would be very useful to see...

[@harryharlow2397]

Chris, this is a great video. So helpful! Thank you.

[@edmasters4454]

Very helpful - thanks!

[@markhenderson7286]

Chris, another super helpful video! I watch pretty much everything you come out with. It would be great if you could address some of the weird things that happen when we work in 6/8. I sometimes have troubles setting the metronome the way I want it, or dragging and dropping in beats from a percussion VST (I have Addictive Drums 2). Things just don't seem to play as nicely as they do in our comfortable 4/4. Keep this great stuff coming! You showed me screens I have never seen before in Logic Pro.

[@edition49]

Very good expnaition of the tempo fader - is it possible, that this does not work anymore with Logic prox 10.8? I had trying to work with the tempo fader one crash after the other.

[@FLH3official]

Great video. I didn't know there was a tempo fader hiden in the midi environment. I'll soon try it as sometimes I've the feeling that changing tempo in real time can improve the expressivity (I usualy compose orchestral pieces and, as a conductor can impulse slight changes in the whole orchestra, having such fader will be a great help)

[@voice-of-oblivion]

Thank you very much.

[@PoetryFilms]

This is fascinating and a whole new area of Logic for me. But I found this tutorial while looking for its opposite, I think. I’ve got a nice varying-tempo acoustic guitar performance and want, about halfway through, to impose a grid so I can add midi instruments etc without ‘correcting’ the guitar performance. Is there a way to make a tempo map (if that’s the term) from only a section of an audio track without changing the tempo of what comes before and after? Thanks again for the great content!

[@RobKennedyEditor]

Great work this, so helpful. But, I could not get it to record the tempo like you did. When I was recording, it adjusted the tempo as I moved the slider, but would not save the adjustments in the tempo track. Any thoughts?

[@ManCalledMif]

Thanks for all the great Logic resources you make. Any chance you could do a beginner’s guide to MIDI recording of an external synth. That would be really helpful. I find it’s easy with some synths and inexplicably impossible with others. Thanks again.

[@alexkazares9976]

You rock!

[@sanesunmartyrs652]

Hey, so I'm trying to make my tempo 93.5 BPM and it keeps rounding up to 94BPM. How can i keep it without it rounding? Thank you!!

[@deepspacemusicofficial9671]

I was just searcing for this no kidding

[@jakeskate1998]

can i assign the tempo fader on the midi environment to a fader controller? Nothing comes up saying learn midi cc automation when i right click on it

[@johnvallelycomposer]

Really useful tips! Thank you very much! Do you ever have the problem of Logic crashing when you record in the tempo changes. This is something I've been hoping to be able to do for a long time. Logic crashes unfortunately every time I try your suggested technique. BTW, Command 0 opens Midi Environment (seems to have been removed from the dropdown list in a recent update)

[@TBX819]

Nice Vid! How to add bars to an inner portion of time while surrounding sync points are already perfectly set?

[@santiagoa98]

You should make a video about beat mapping in logic pro. It is a very confusing feature that I need to for music for videos but I do not undersand it very well.

[@wesfolkerth1174]

Can you automate changes to varispeed, both speed and pitch? It seems like a good way to get a classic LP slowdown effect. Thanks for your tutorials!

[@manuelvalcarce]

Hey! How did you you set the time above the bar markers in the project? It seems super useful

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@aw3752]

How do I change the tempo of just one single track while leaving the rest of the production’s tempo unaffected? No matter what I do- even following your directions- the entire production tempo changes. Urrrrrrgh!!!!!! Help!!

[@blindmelonstubbly]

I have had the same issue. I exported my accoustic guitar track then started a new project with tempo set to adapt, imported my aiff guitar file then I analyzed the tempo using smart tempo and it worked better than anything else. Have to re-record all ur other bits and pieces if there was any as the project will only follow that one main track. Everything else you record or add follows that tempo 👍🏼😎

[@aw3752]

@@blindmelonstubbly Brilliant! Thanks man. Much appreciated.

[@blindmelonstubbly]

@@aw3752 No probs hope it helps/works it was the only way I could figure out how to salvage my original guitar parts. I'm not a guitar player by choice and my first crack at my own stuff was always the best ones played for some reason. Assuming it was my initial excitement/energy captured which is beyond hard to replicate unless you're Jimmy Page maybe 👍🏼😂

[@amenaza1119]

Can a song have multiple tempos?

[@AC2N]

with only four built-in AU, as soon as I make tempo gradients, all the instruments shift and go mashed.

[@lonelycake4114]

You havent made a video about beat mapping
