Logic Pro Tips: Understanding Time-stretching

In this Logic Pro tutorial, Jono Buchanan breaks down Logic's time-stretching features. You'll learn how to use time-stretch to alter the tempo of an audio clip, and use Audio Editor to set a source and destination tempo and change the pitch of a clip. You'll also learn how to use Flex editing to time-stretch a file with transient detection, as well as learning how to convert an audio file to a sampler instrument while keeping everything in time.

Thanks Cobby. I have a new channel. Hope to see you there: ruclips.net/channel/UC-RFQtqWAG6kFPRkumqn7rA

[@thekeysman6760]

I still have Apple Loops Utilty for converting audio to Apple Loops. Otherwise BIP and edit accordingly as you did. As converting to sample instrument leaves gaps when slowed down and can sound clunky as it did here. Like Stylus RMX would do too.

[@PavanSibal]

Like your tutorials. Can you please do a video on how to sidechain compression on bass track when the input is kick channel. Thanks

[@FujiFujimoto]

I just noticed that I previously hit “dislike” in error. My apologies. I just corrected myself by hitting “like”.

[@petegreenfield8366]

I love your videos, Jono. Do you have a paid tutoring programme people can join?

[@jonobuchananmusic]

Hi Pete. Not yet... but I do now have my own channel, so if you're interested in more content like this, head on over! ruclips.net/channel/UC-RFQtqWAG6kFPRkumqn7rA

[@petegreenfield8366]

@@jonobuchananmusic I found it yesterday and subscribed. Btw, I’m trying to find out how to use the step sequencer with compound time. 7/4 in this case. I’ll watch the guide on your channel. Have a good day.

[@TubularJim183]

Jono, why do some loops bring back to their original sizes when trying to time-stretch them?

[@kenporter6059]

Unfortunately, although more convenient, using the option key to time stretch audio is of much lower quality than using Flex Time in Logic. Not sure why they don’t use the same algorithms between those two features.
Also, another disadvantage when using Flex Time is that you then can’t reverse an audio region unless you bounce in place or turn Flex Time off.
I wish Apple would fix those things when it comes to time stretching in Logic.

[@rockyblaq510]

What if I go to the Keep Tempo settings and change the imported files to "On"? Would any of these time-stretching techniques still work even if I know what I want my project tempo to be? This is mainly for my beat tags and acapellas...... any info and advice would be invaluable to me.

[@thekeysman6760]

It's when you don't choose keep that they will adhere to your project tempo.

[@nikunjahir2524]

but sample is loosing its quality...can you tell us how to adjust time of a sample WITHOUT loosing its transient..thanks

[@lfr230]

1/3 of the screen is allowed to you. You are a handsome Man but here I would rather have the logicpro screen.
