I recorded a bluegrass session once where the keyboard player went off in a huff cos the singer/banjo player didn't want to play to a click. He just couldn't understand why. The problem was the moment tbe singer/Strummer had to focus on the click his performance lacked sparkle... I ended up playing percussion in the side room and sending it to them on the cans, (no percussion was actually wanted on the track) however the whole problem caused a rift whoch ruined the session! If only we had had this knowledge (and a newer version of logic!)

I've been using Logic daily since 2000 from the Emagic days when it was Logic Platinum , and I'm amazed at how many new things I learn from your channel. Not only newly added features, butt stuff that's been in Logic for some time that I've either not gotten around to or could never figure out. Really so helpful - Thanks!

Great vid. I find the best use of this is if you got a killer drum performance, and you want to line everything else up to the drummer’s time feel

This is why practicing with a metronome is key to any musician’s development.

@johnyfernandezmusic 11 ай бұрын

I agree. However, when I have recorded Live Sessions, the feeling of strictly not having to be glued to a metronome and performing more organically is truly pleasant. This is where Smart Tempo becomes very useful.

@michaelvarney. 11 ай бұрын

@@maxine2798 I would say especially a drummer... learning to keep a tempo and how to push the boundaries of that is key, and a metronome is an important tool to develop that feel.

Awesome video. I've been painfully mapping the tempo beat by beat after recording a rubato piano part, this is a game changer! Any idea if there's a way to smooth out the tempo variations? Keep the natural feeling of the live performance but make the tempo a little more rigid?

Dude you are a wiz and a great teacher. Thank you so much. QQ: I am trying to find an option to automagically add silence to many tracks to force stem regions to be the same length for ease of fades, other automation. Is there an option or shortcut for this?

Awesome channel. Crazy this can be done and good to know you record songs with changing tempos. No doubt. But on this example…bro should learn to play in time. 😂

@settyr 11 ай бұрын

Interesting. I was actually looking to add some drums to a fairly relaxed tempo Piano piece. I wonder if logic will be as successful mapping a tempo from a piano track, versus a more rhythmic guitar line, with its obvious downbeat. Guess I'll find out!

@chrikibandmusik 11 ай бұрын

I have been doing some editing today (drum loops) I have noticed that if the region is moved one beat or one bar after you have done the editing the new tempo information is lost, it's kind of like you have added a new loop to your project; unfortunately you have to go through the whole process I mean what Chris has showed us. DO not use bounce in place you need to export the audio file then drag it back to your project- Hope this helps. or Chris might add this information to his awesome Video,

Are these features (to adjust timing of audio to match beat, or to adjust beat to match audio) available in iPad version? Maybe you could include a word or two about iPad variant in your videos (or maybe you’re just gonna focus on Mac OS version of logic)? Thanks for your terrific videos.

@asirus 11 ай бұрын

Awesome tutorial! Does this work with piano pieces with lots of rubato parts and sections that have significant differences in tempo? I've an arrangement of a song that I'd like to add beats to some sections, which of course requires the tempo to be locked in, but the sections in between are free and varied and I'm having a hard time sorting out the tempo. Thanks.

@milesfrost4916 8 ай бұрын

Hi Chris, Great video explanation. Quick question: if myself (drummer) and guitarist wanted to record live together but not to a click, myself using Superior Drummer and them using an amp sim, how would I prevent my midi drum file from being altered so as to maintain the purity of both performance but being able to use the click to overdub things like Drummer’s percussion? Many thanks

@romo182 11 ай бұрын

Its great when it works... When 1 section of the song shifts and is wrong it is absolutely painful to fix. Hoping in missing something but i often manually align every bar from the point it loses the down beat

@OlckersDrumming 5 ай бұрын

Is there a way you can align the audio track to a steady tempo? Ie, Quantize it? Surely all instruments must align to a steady tempo say for instance 110 Bpm?

@redguitar6062 11 ай бұрын

Is it possible to combine both techniques in the same project (this one and your previous one)? I notice that with all the best will in the world this technique alone will not compensate for large deviations that will cause a tapping foot to start stumbling to keep up. Could an audio region be split and then made to conform to a few bars where you need to speed up or slow down?

@ShiningHourPop 11 ай бұрын

You can edit the tempo values after the above technique. It’s under the list view labelled Tempo (top right). You’ll need to have Flex Time switched on so that the track can adjust as per any tempo changes.

@Rasenschneider 11 ай бұрын

Tempo recognition works really bad for live recordings and multibeat music or music with retardandi or accelerandi. Although it is extremely helpful. The "new" tempo recording is a hoax: it analyzes tempo after the recording process and not in realtime. So you are not able to send tempo information via MIDI while recording.
