Wow 😮 this was so amazing 🙏🏿🙏🏿🔥🔥 respect 🫡 to the fullest man.. many times I sing on the beat and forget to change the tempo

You picked a challenging topic today. Even when you do everything right it seems like Logic still wants to fight. I still have trouble predicting what tempo changes are going to do and have never completely sussed out the order. This is super helpful. Thank you.

I had already spent a good amount of time cutting and moving parts to match with click. I just applied the knowledge you shared and fixed 6 tracks in the project in less than 15 minutes! Thanks again for another great ,and easy to understand video for Logic X . Have a great day!

This worked great and is the first video I've watched for Logic Pro which CLEARLY shows how to achieve the result. I'm using Karaoke-version audio backing tracks with variable BPM. Now my project is at a constant BPM which makes it easier to edit, split and move sections, etc.

Excellent video, the best I've found on this topic. I'm currently trying to remix some 24 track masters I had digitised. They were all recorded back in the 90s using click tracks and drum machines etc so at least the tempo doesn't vary, but getting them all lacked to the grid has been a challenge even when I remember the original BPM! This will really help. Thank you!

Cheers for the tutorial, I have a 9 track album to sort out which was not recorded to a click track and have been trying to figure out a quicker way of sorting it out. I've be doing it manually using grouping and editing every kick/snare to the beat then ungrouping to edit drums/bass/guitars/vox separately. I have one suggestion though. I always duplicate/copy the whole track before I start so that I have an unedited original version and then an edited/tempo adjusted version. Doing it that way, I can then copy any parts from the unedited version to the flexed/edited version should such things arise like the guitar that was mashed at the end of the tutorial, saving all that time trying to get rid of those artifacts, Hope this helps...

A big blue thumb up 'cause It's quite reassuring to see someone else who also struggles with glitches and artifacts in audio edit mode, trying to cross fade and paste on themself tiny bits of audio waves in maximum zoom in view , etc... I feel less alone, thank you, Chris 😀

@1markstuff Жыл бұрын

hi Chris, as always, thank you for superb and fundamental video - probably the only suggestion i could ever offer to you: when trying to remove the bump in that sustained guitar , your setting in the crossover option was on “no overlap” and since i’m dealing with that very thing routinely , if i may suggest to try it with it set to “smart” and “x-fade” options selected, i think it may have helped it along even more :)

@JamieLawrenceProductions 5 ай бұрын

Cats: Not sure why you are going through all this. Since it is the last chord of the tune and doesn't need to be "in time" whatever that means, I would just split the audio for the whole band on the last chord and turn off flex and follow tempo - just use the original audio there - unless there is some important reason this needs to be timed out to a click track.

@chrisbjornnmusic 2 жыл бұрын

You should try X Fade overlap makes when cutting up tracks much easier to fade into eachother

Thanks Chris for this! I was wondering if you could do a vid on how to get LP to create a tempo map for midi tracks. I sometimes record midi piano parts without a click to get more expression using slower or faster parts, and I haven't been able to figure out how to get LP to match the tempo after the piano track is recorded. I know that I can use follow tempo when recording the track, but I don't always remember to turn it on before starting the record. Thanks for your excellent videos!

Great video! I'll have to go through it a couple of times to get all the nuances. I'd love to see how to do this with a song having more than one tempo. I have a song I'm working on that starts in 2/4 @80 bpm, and has a later section that is in 4/4 @114 bpm.

@geofffawcett9713 2 жыл бұрын

Great video. I think anyone who has done remixing work can appreciate that changing tempo / timing requires human intervention. The tools help, but they aren't perfect. Artist / Technician / Skills ... still required (thankfully ... the robots haven't taken over entirely ... yet)

@andygarbi8645 Жыл бұрын

Thanks very much for the video. I was actually trying to find out how to change VI created midi regions that have been played freestyle (so all quite different tempos) to conform to a newly selected project tempo. I was also experimenting with a 6/8 time signature but want to convert the project to 4/4 without affecting the feel of what I have created so far. It’s a jazz noir influenced piece so there is a fair amount of rubato in the playing that I would like to keep - I would really appreciate some help in getting all these played in improv regions to have a common project tempo with each region starting on the downbeat - I know this is asking a lot but this would be a massive help.

@IntiSolMedia Жыл бұрын

Amazing, almost exactly what I needed! YOU rule! ;) I am having a few problems though (as expected): - removing tempo from regions never stops, meaning, in your example you select them all and it only does it once and that's it, but in my case, the same window pops like 50 times, and I press enter until it doesn't anymore, then, if I go back to remove tempo immediatley, it keeps doing the same thing. Regions do not seem to have that info, but still weird. - if I do not have percussions (just bass and acoustic guitar, which has a terrible tempo to it, I'd rather use the bass...) smooth or beat?

@PoetryFilms Жыл бұрын

I’m a big fan of your channel and have learned a lot from you. But this video pretty much lost me. Maybe it’s just that the terminology is still unclear. Usually what I want to do is ‘free’ record acoustic guitar, say, without metronome, then add midi instruments in sync. I don’t want a regular overall tempo (the mood of the piece in fact depends of human variations in playing) but I want to be able to sync the midi to the audio. I have varying success by matching project tempo to the track tempo and then following that with the midi instruments. I’ll have to build up the courage for this tutorial further down the road!

@PaulEubanks 2 жыл бұрын

Tempo adjustments are one of Logic's extreme short-comings IMO. That you have to go through all this nonsense just to set a project tempo is pretty ridiculous. Also, Flex time needs to fix whatever this bug is that causes all the clicking and popping artifacts when you start time-aligning audio tracks. This problem doesn't happen in Melodyne for instance. That Apple would ship a completely broken system like Flex for years and years is pretty irresponsible if we're honest. Also, they do a match EQ built-in, why not a match-tempo built-in? Nobody wants to pay the same price for Voc-Align that they do for their entire DAW!

@PaulEubanks 2 жыл бұрын

Also, real cool how Logic sometimes decides to insert its own random automations into variable tempo projects. I had a project once just decide for itself it wanted to have 6 measures of constant 150 BPM with no input from me. Awesome.

@DanLugoMusic 2 жыл бұрын

I’ve used groove tracks rather than vocalign and have been really impressed by the results. Worth trying.

If the recording sounds good to the ear to start with, aren't you killing the humanity by doing this? Perfect single tempo isn't human at all. The video is great though and the information is really useful anyway!
