I think that would be some great content and I think you'll like their plugins, especially the Virtual Mix Rack. Just throwing that out there. Have a blessed day bro! And be dope today!!!

You can also upload the beat into Logic Pro X and go under metering and select BPM Counter. It’ll literally give you the tempo of any beat. You can also create a click track in Protools and tap T for Tempo to the beat, but you still have to listen. Shortcut ways imo. Good material from brother Wayne too. I’m going to try the beat identifier as well. Thanks bro💯💯

A lot of people don't want to go to Pro Tools because they find it very complicated and the shortcuts aren't listed anywhere etc... You just have to take the time to understand how the interface works. Too bad that many do not want to take the time to tame several DAWs because it's really a plus!

This is great knowledge to have, but you should also just get Mixed in Key for speed. I load the file in Mixed in Key simultaneously while importing into the session, and i have the tempo and key all set by the time the artist is in the booth. (Make sure to turn off Camelot, and renaming files in settings)

Not gonna lie I’ve been an audio engineer for over 7+ years and see a ton of “pro” engineers get a session or start a session and never even think of BPM. It’s always been crazy to me. I even asked one about it one time and he just shrugged and said “I eyeball it” 😂. What were the shortkeys you used when you did the stutter steps and the beat switch up? Or did you just select and move it? Just curious how you did it because it’s A LOT faster than what I usually do plus I’m trying to learn iOS shortkeys now that I got windows down pat. Preciate the knowledge as always big dog!

@kazzmalave992 2 жыл бұрын

Hey way big fan and student question I noticed when I download and drop a music file onto Pro Tools, I noticed that there is air in front of the file before the track actually starts. I did watch your tutorial and I noticed that you didn't touch on cutting the air off if need be for proper timing. My question is do we cut that air off before we set timing to click track? or identify beat? Another words in order for the song to lock property on the grid . The reason I ask is because I use the metronome( click track). Basically do I (not) have to use the click track regardless of the intro or the different speed before the actual beat start.? Second question if the intro is at a different speed, Does that matter or not or just continue doing it how you said and will my Beats still be on Gridlock without cutting or editing the intro. Sorry for the long question in advance.
