Double or halve the file or region tempo
In Logic Pro, you can change the tempo of the audio file (if there is no selection) or the
current selection:
To double the tempo: Click the X2 button in the Tempo display.
To halve the tempo: Click the /2 button in the Tempo display.
Edit beat markers
When you place the pointer over a beat marker, a set of circular handles appears along the
length of the beat marker. Dragging the pointer vertically over each handle shows a tag
describing the function of that handle. Press and hold the Command key while dragging a
beat marker to have it snap to significant analysis points.
To set a beat as the downbeat: Place the pointer over the beat marker and click the Set
Downbeat handle.
Setting a beat as the downbeat also moves the region, unless the project tempo is set
to Keep and Flex & Follow is set to Off. This handle is not available for beat markers
already on a downbeat.
To move an individual beat: Click and hold the Move Marker handle and drag the beat
marker to a new position.
To scale beat markers in a selection: Make a selection, click and hold the Scale
Selection handle for a beat marker in the selection, then drag to scale the selected beat
markers.
If you drag a Scale Selection handle when there is no selection, Logic Pro automatically
selects the bar in which the beat marker is located. If the beat marker is a downbeat,
the preceding and following bars are selected.
To scale preceding beat markers and move following beat markers: Make a selection,
click and hold the Scale Left, Move Right handle for a beat marker, then drag the beat
marker. The selected area is scaled, and beats to the right of the selected area are
moved. If you click and hold the handle on a downbeat, the preceding bar and the
following part of the file are selected. This is useful for correcting tempo detection
where the music temporarily slows down or speeds up.
To scale all beat markers in the file or region (or in a selection): Click and hold the Scale
All handle for a beat marker, then drag the beat marker.
To move all beat markers in the file or region (or in a selection) by the same amount:
Click and hold the Move All handle for a beat marker, then drag the beat marker left or
right.
