I've been making film music for years in logic and never made time to look into this editing tool. I can't imagine how many hours it will save me moving forward. Your rundown was clear and easy to follow. You're a living legend! Cheers Chris!

Game changer. Ive wanted to do this a handful of times and have lost time, tracks, inspiration in the process. thank you thank you thank you. my father thanks you. my mother thanks you, and I thank you. you are one appreciated dude, Chris!

I was just about to give up and redo my whole recording after 2 hours of unsuccessful googling and youtubing, but I found your video and now all my tempos are aligned!!! Thank you!!!!

I needed this video like yesterday thank you so much Chris all your videos are gold and save me so much time. This is Great for drafting a score without metronome and then figuring out the tempos later.

It's crazy how you answer each and every single question that pops into my mind as the video progresses. 🐐🐐🐐🐐. Keep these videos coming, I'm loving them🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This vid came up right at the time I needed it!!!! Thanks so much Chris for all your hard work. Always ultra helpful! Logic Pro is the best!!!

Chris. Your vids are absolutely fantastic! Can't thank you enough for doing these. Very helpful on all levels in Logic. Well done sir!

This is exactly, EXACTLY what I needed, and you couldn't be clearer. Immediate sub!!! 🙏

Man, this video just saved my butt. I received a project to mix that had a couple tempo changes so I used the adapt tempo feature. But of course that just made all the regions go haywire. I remembered seeing this video come out not too long ago so I searched for it. Just what the doctor ordered! I was about to print each track and replace the multiple regions per track with one solid region. That was the “hack” that my brian finally arrived on, but this is much easier. Anyone wondering why the tempo even matters if it’s just a mix session, there’s still editing involved which is much easier to do to a grid. Thanks again Chris for helping me on my Logic journey!

Thank you so much, Chris! Your videos are so helpful.

Nice explanation of a pretty complex situation. Thanks Chris!

I like the beat you made couldn't stop vibing on it.

Thank you! You saved my life, this was so helpful.

You always save my life Chris. Thanks!

Thanks as always Chris 🙏🏻🤟

Excellent video. Thank you.

Thank you soooo much my friend you are a gift! I was stuck with an audio guitar track recording I could not copy or move in the track and it was because I had the flex ON!!! Jeezzzz I wasted 2 hours trying to figure out what was going on... And then I googled you and voilà! I am now trying to change the key signature of my project because I have to use a capo on the guitar otherwise. Any videos on that topic?

Thanks for a great video!

Thank you dude. Honestly.. Thank you dude

omg ty so much so many videos didnt solve my problem

Luv it Thank you Chris

Thank you so much! Lifesaver

Great 👍🏻 thanks 😊

You saved my life bro !!!! 😢

Very useful

Just what I wanted. My drummer sent me some midi but had recorded it at the wrong tempo. This locked everything to the grid and I was able to set the midi to the correct tempo.

Much appreciated

Hi Chris. Love your videos. Would like to see a video about syncing to or tree Logic pro together. I sometimes get together with two of my friends and we all have logic pro but we do always use a lot of time getting things running and sometimes it dosen't work a all.

you basically convert and lock and flex for audio. Thank you 😊

Where does varispeed fit into all this?

Genius!

How do I change the tempo of a single Apple beat loop? My project is 80 bpm. I want to import a 170 bmp beat AS IS. But no matter what I do, the beat loop conforms to the bpm of the project. I try to change the loop bpm back to 170 but the whole project changed to 170. Urrrrrrgh! I didn’t see a solution to this in your video.

When I tried this, I changed from 103 bpm to 77 bpm and the regions move to positions that over lap, no longer in the same arrangement. How can I over come this?

Okay I might not be understanding this correctly. I think I get the smpte lock, it basically locks your regions at the tempo it was originally even if you increase it, is that correct? If so, my question is, in what situations would you need to increase the tempo of the project yet keep the same tempo locked that it was playing at before? Like if you want to keep the original tempo on the existing regions and then create new MIDI at the higher or lower tempo, so it switches from one tempo to another on like a breakdown or something? For example creating a song at like 140 and then after the breakdown it drops at an increased tempo of say 170? Or back and forth kind of thing?

Every time I open the saved file the entire track found not sync with the metronome adjusted. Please help

So how do you "lock" an audio .wav file to stay at its original recorded speed, always and forever? I don't want it locked to the current grid. I want it locked to it's original self. For example, you have nature sounds playing behind your music. How do you tell Logic, "Just leave it alone, no matter what I do to the project tempo"?

I was sent 15 stems and drag them into a new project. The project was set to the default 120 BPM. When I changed the BPM to 112, it messes up all of the audio regions. Is this normal? There is one midi region in the stems project. Flex time is not on, everything is off.

I need help bc when I click edit I can't smpte-lock doesn't appear and I tried different ways and nothing locks, I tried going to functions, nothing appears as well.

I had an artist record a song in the incorrect temp to the default Logic tempo at 120 BMP. The Song is actualy 90BMP and I'm wanting to do additonal production on the track, I tried doing the SMPTE lock on the vocals and the beat and putting the BMP to the correct BMP 90, however the vocals and the beat became slowed down. It does not sound like the originial incorrect tempo recording. Anyway to fix this???

Am I right in thinking you used to be able to just go "right click -> lock SMPTE Position" before having to go to "edit" first? I came to this video just to find the option I knew was there and have used for years. I feel like I'm going crazy

how to lock SMPTE is at 3:06

It slaps when you first changed it to 70 without SMPTE though lol

3:08 if you are looking for where the setting is

That is way too much clicking. Can easily lose inspiration doing all of that. I don’t use abelton but you can just change the bpm and everything changed without effecting the regions position on the timeline. Logic needs to get better with warping audio.

Or in other words, select all right click 'lock SMPTE position'

you’re like a god with logic pro but wouldn’t it be easier to jus put the audio file that is 100BPM in the project and turn on polyphonic then change the bpm to 70 on the project? And with midi, it automatically keeps with the projects tempo, so changing it wouldn’t impact it, and in order to half or double time the midi, there are midi functions in the piano roll that let you do that. Audio can also be double timed by increasing the bpm without polyphonic on. like a 70bpm sample can be at 140bpm and vice versa. i jus think the sympt lock thing is a longer way.

Tempo changes are Logic’s weak point. Ableton and Bitwig handle this with no problem, you just change the project tempo and everything works. Logic is the only DAW where this is a problem.
