Fabulous demonstrations on tempo and beat mapping by the way. I was really struggling to understand all this before watching these 2 videos.

@@denismkitchen hi there denis. Thank you for your comments and I appreciate the good vibes. At 10:38 what we have is a big slowdown. Ritardando. This sudden reduction of speed is creating enough space in there, that it might be sounding like there’s more beats in the Measure? If you listen to the click and you slow your count to match, you will be able to count 1,2,3,4. And by the time you get to four, the tempo is reduced drastically. Then it returns to speed in the next measure. (a tempo). I hope that helps. And thank you for engaging with me.

@@thejacevekexperience ...but then I see a "5" with my eyes right on the screen... ...but I think I figured out how you did that... there is a "signature" section in the global group, and a choice to add a time signature there. So I will play with that, too.

@@denismkitchen I’ll have to take a closer look there, my apologies I was just going by my ear. 👂. Maybe I did something weird there. Haha.

@@ponlerd terrific! . Thank you too!

@@KevinG-l4j hey there :) that’s pretty tall praise coming from someone with your experience, good luck on your musical, and I’m glad this little video was of use to you! Take care.

@@MenonkNaldo well that’s a very nice thing to say, and I appreciate reading it. You have a wonderful day.

@@MusiclyricsByECDaleyC Beethoven wasn’t kidding when he said a mistake is nothing, but to play without passion is unforgivable.

@@dougiemonday well if I could offer some gentle encouragement: a lot of people get confused about tempo operations in a DAW. The first thing of person thinks of, is a very preplanned, rigid tempo, structure, that is made first and then played to. With a performer, listening to a click track in a set of headphones while recording themselves playing their instruments. But as you saw in this particular case, a tempo that is devised by beat map strategy, put the music in charge first . I.e. YOU. This means in theory that you could play something anyway you want to play it, then go backwards from there using a tempo map, to make your daw answer to you, instead of you answering to your daw. Good luck on your journey

Hi there, Blake. So you ask the question “ is it possible to do this with a guitar track?” The trick with doing this beat mapping technique is adapting the technique im showing you to the material at hand. In your case, the question would be what kind of guitar track is this? Is it rhythmic playing? Fingerpicking.? Guitar pic? is the guitar keeping time? If the answer to those questions is yes, then when you look out over the course of the audio file, you should be seeing transients in your waveform. And if you see those, a beat map can be made. Start by counting the rhythm as you listen to your audio. Do you see a transient on the down beat of each bar in the waveform. Perhaps a finger picking a string as part of the material? That’d be a great place to start. As far as shortening, guitar notes is concerned, that sounds like a pretty tall order bud. In a situation like that, you’re probably looking at flex time. You might want to do a little bit of look up research on flextime, and guitar.

For gods sake man. I'm a musician not a reason to live. (spoken in Dr McCoy voice from star trek. ) hahaha

Thank you for your kindness. Currently all my downloads are available for listening at www.jacevek.bandcamp.com

Thanks 🙏 I appreciate the vibe

Thank you kindly Tom. Grateful to bring a new perspective here to a classic problem.

Ok so as you’ve said this is a totally different scenario requiring additional techniques no featured in this video. I’ve done this many times although I’ve not made a video about it : it goes something like this. Are the tracks separated? If so, is there a rhythm line? If so, start there. Analyze that audio line for transients. Map the transient to map the same way I have in this video. Let’s keep in mind: if this is a simple 4/4 common rhythm we’re talking about, smart tempo now does a good job of mapping that all on its own.

Thank you. I've actually been focused on my steaming lives for a bit. You can catch me on here mon, wed and Fri at 9 pm eastern. Tue and Thurs 8 pm eastern.

Yes, TT is good to some, bad to others. For whatever reason they have a target on my back

Thank you Cynthia

Outstanding

Thank you Jeni 💚❤️🌈🌸

Westbound. Appreciating being of good use to y'all. It amazes me that with all the advancements logic ilhas made with smart tempo, this type of technique (transient beat mapping) is Still relevant due to the shortcomings of smart tempo. There will come a day when we don't need to be able to do this, but we're not quite there yet.

I couldn't agree more on all you just said,@@thejacevekexperience . Baffles me to no end as well that such vital things seem to get overlooked by their engineers or rather: Product development managers or whatever they call the role these days at the bitten fruit corp. I found it particularly savvy and smart on your part to shrink the MIDI events to basically the equivalent of transients which then get bounced to become real (audio) transients for Logic to be able to "listen" to them. I love workarounds like that and take some joy in coming up with them when I can. But you're right: We shouldn't have to be pressed to find our own solutions, it would be infinitely better if such things were present and provided already. Huh. ;-) Thanks again, I love tutorials like this one!

So at the time of the creation of this video, beat mapping, a.k.a. smart tempo was a fresh update. Now several updates later, it has gotten better. But unfortunately, anything other than 4/4 time that is inclined to be predictable and steady is more time-consuming w/smart tempo for its inaccuracies than just doing what I’m showing. For example, if I’m doing something and 6/8 time or 7/8 it’s hopeless. But I think it’s getting better all the time. Long story short yes, I do exactly what you’re talking about, but only when it’s simple. Thanks for sharing !

Hi there thank you for the kind words, smart tempo has come a long way, but it still has a long way to go, and it does not beat map intelligent dynamic music very well. So we have these techniques to back it’s up.

Wow, this is terrific feedback. Thank you so much for the kind words, I felt good making this video because I put myself in the shoes of people like yourself, looking for an answer to this problem. Seems it worked. Much respect for you.

@evekexperience When intelligence touches the very soul it becomes a name that not yet exists in my vocabulary. Progressive is just not enough force 💯🦴🙏🏼✌🏼
