I've been trying to understand what is needed to align tracks like this, and have been struggling to find a proper tutorial. Finally! Not only have you addressed this topic, you have done it concisely and efficiently! Thank you. Sub'd.
I really like this a LOT, thanks SO much. Sometimes I had a song song already nearly complted and couldn't figure out how to sync new tracks to it. So, I exported the main track. Set it up exactly like you did in new sessions, set Tempo to "adapt", adding all my percussion tracks then exported those and reimported those back into my original song (which already had 16 tracks of live performance). There were too may track of different sources in my original and every time I tried different tempo mapping techniques (so I could quantize a few live percussion tracks to a live acoustic guitar - percussion is not my strong suit) it through EVERYTHING off. So your solution and my work around saved me. THANKS!!! Subbed!
Fantastic video man, this is a life saver working with someone who couldn't record to click. My issue is, when I'm dragging a new file in it's not letting me start the audio at the beginning. (Bar 1) It's putting it in some seemingly arbitrary place (Bar 1.4.4), it's not even on a grid line. When I try to move it to the start, it messes the tempo adjustments up and the click doesn't line up. Anyways, it's a minor issue in the grand scheme of things. Thanks for this straight to the point vid! 👍
Play with your import options under the start tempo menu and try going back to KEEP Tempo once you Import everything using ADAPT. I think this can yield good results for you if you line everything up using BAR/BEAT/DIVISION. Hope that helps.
Yes sir. Watch 7:23 and follow those instruction.s If you do not get the results you are after, try playing with the Imported Files algorithm. Good Luck! 🤞
@@_TheModernCreative Ok yep had a look and its not exactly what I meant. Apologies. I want to drag the audio in and have the project's tempo match the flow of the audio file. I want to be able to record the file and then import it into Logic afterwards and then assign the tempo of the audio file to the project.
yeah, you have to go to the smart tempo editor and under functions analyze the region again. Let me know if you find it OK. I’m not in front of my computer right now. 🙏💪💯🔥👍
great video, thank you for making this! question, does it only work if you drag files in? for example with remixes and overlays, anything that you want to create new material for (midi or recorded audio) - how would that work? i already have the Smart Tempo analyzed with the original artists recording - whats my next step? do i set it to Keep tempo so the original stays locked in? and then compose over that? I hope all this makes sense, Im realizing as i type, this is a loaded question lol -- also want to add, after the original recording was analyzed, the smart tempo results came out as red with blue dots, what does that mean?
Yes spot on Zach. You also have to make sure that the smart tempo settings within project settings are set so that recorded information follows keep tempo. Let me know how you get on.
@@thatlogicproguy thanks for the reply! still a little confused on what the red line means. after the smart tempo analysis, the mapping was a red line with blue dots, what does that mean?
That is a solid question and I will have to make a video about it but essentially red means that there is already something with a tempo reference on that bar so you cannot use smart temple. Blue means that there is no tempo reference so you can use SMART TEMPO. Hope that helps amigo🙏🔥💪👍💯
I´ve got a question: i´ve played guitar and used the adapt tempo mode. Afterwards i found that at some bars the tempo differs pretty much, you can even hear that it slows down and speeds up a bit without listening too hard. What i want (apart from rerecording): wouldn´t it be nice to set the tempo to an average of the tempo i played in and adapt /quantize my recording to it? That way i would have a constant bpm and it would be harder to play other parts to the now not too variable tempo... any ideas on that ? i found an "use average tempo" somewhere but couldn´t get it to do the trick.
First thing, I’ll say, is after you use adapt tempo you should immediately said it back to keep tempo. You could actually take the variable tempo and keep it consistent by selecting the tempo markings in the Global Tempo Lane and deleting them ( you can also find tempo inside of the List Editors). Hope that helps mate.
This is a very useful update for logic I only wish I started using it sooner since I usually create all my songs on my accoustic guitar but the drums never matched because I had the tempo set to the wrong bpm 😢 I finally test drove free tempo recording yesterday and left the click track on 😂 but the drums still sound better than they ever did before 👍🏼 I'm now attempting to export my older guitar tracks as aiff then importing them into my new free tempo recording template to see if I can avoid having to re-record all of my songs I came up with in the last year and a bit. There's a fee of them so I'd rather do it that way as opposed to having to go and re-record all of them again. Not being lazy it's just that I pretty much nailed the guitar parts on some of them and I'd much rather be able to use and utilize them as they are since they were recorded when they were brand new songs and the initial energy and excitement was captured. Great video 👍🏼 Muchos Gracias 🥹 Subbed
@@thatlogicproguy Wow what a difference 👍🏼😎 Not being able to get my drums to sync with any of my songs has pretty much been the last thing holding me back from releasing something. Works amazingly well. I think this was the best update they could've done when they dropped this 🥹
@@thatlogicproguy is there a way to take an existing older logic file I had the tempo set to 120 and change it to the actual tempo I'm playing my guitar at? 🤔 Trying to avoid having to re-record all of those guitar parts again if I can somehow switch that project to smart tempo to get the drums to follow the guitar tempo it would be awesome and save me a ton of work. Thanks in advance 👍🏼🥹
I believe most of them have a similar feature (Ableton has Warp). Logic Pro does have unique functionality that I have not seen on other DAWS. Would love to hear from other people that actually use other DAWS. I use Logic like 99.99 percent of the time. Blessings bro!!!
Make sure your version of Logic is at least 10.4. After that you should be able to access via Project Settings. Also, customize your control bar and display to alter the LCD/Transport. Hope that helps dude. Have a great day!
@@thatlogicproguy Thank you for the quick answer. One more amateur question : how I can upgrade my logic ? And should I pay for the upgrade ? Thank you for your answer mate ❤️🔥
All good questions. You can update logic pro within the App Store. Just sign in using your Apple ID. One of the best things about logic pro is you only pay 199 for the application and that is it. No upgrade or subscription fees. Hope it stays that way. Waves just went down the subscription route and I’m not buying any more plugs from them 💩
Hi, thank you for the great video. You mentioned that you can humanize or quantize, but I am not seeing the step that you were taking to do this. How do you quantize at this point? Thanks again! ruclips.net/video/h5WRi_Mx3wI/видео.html
Works great - also for Imported Midi Files. Thanks a lot for this time saver!
🙏👍💪🔥💯 more content coming. Be sure to sub. Blessings!
This is huge. If I can play guitar in naturally the way a song feels right, then quantize drums to that performance - major game changer.
Let’s Go!!! You got the ticket 🎫🙏🔥💯💪👍
Ok so this works for tracking acoustic guitar then? I'm working on a song that has one tempo for the Verse and a different tempo / feel on the chorus.
I just get the feeling you and Logic Pro have saved me tons of time and frustration.
🙏💯💯🔥🔥
After looking through many videos, this was the only one that did it. thanks.

If you didn't record in adapt tempo mode, can you still make it analyze and adapt the tempo for what you've already recorded?

Epic!!!
You are going to have to “remove original recording tempo and analyze again”. Might have a resource for you. Standby…
does it work with guitar recordings?
💯 @johnprawdzik983
Are there any other DAWs that do this?

is this only for midi?
Applies to audio as well. 🙏
