Audio Tempo Change! HELP!

[Jason C]

I just started using Logic 8 and am having trouble changing an audio song or sample tempo to match my midi. I tried typing it into the tempo box in the transport bar but no luck. The audio and midi are off tempo.

[boo]

do you have "follow tempo" checked in the region parameter box?

[Jason C]

Can you elaborate some more? All I see in my "Region Parameters" are the options Normalize Region Parameters, Normalize Without Channel, Normalize Without Channel and Delay and Apply Quantization Settings Destructively... I cant find follow tempo!

[boo]

Logic can explain it better than me. Go to the help menu, choose Logic Pro 8 user manual, and then type in tempo in search. Or look on page 372 of your manual. Let me know if you're still stuck, I know it can be daunting at first.

I've sort of got the same issue. If I set a background track for reference, is there an easy way to accurately set the tempo to coincide with the audio clip. eg. getting the drums to match up. I doesn't have to be EXACT, but it either trails off or speeds up over a various number of bars. Thanks.

Try pulling up the Beat Meter in the plug ins, metering --> BPM counter. This will calculate Beats Per Minute for any given track with a strong beat. It doesn't always work all that well, but it's worth a try.

It needs to be recorded in Logic to have the 'follow tempo' button active. An easy work around is to bus the desired track to an audio track,, record it into Logic, and then the 'follow tempo' button will be available on that new audio track, making it easy to follow the MIDI tracks.
