Audio files that follow the project tempo (and first key signature) are flagged with the
Follow Tempo symbol, in both the Tracks area and the Project Audio Browser.
All other imported audio files require adjustment of either the region or the project tempo.
You can set an audio region to follow the project tempo, or add the region to the Apple
Loop library as an Apple Loop. For information about creating Apple Loops, see Create your
own Apple Loops in Logic Pro.
Make audio recordings follow the project tempo
In Logic Pro, select the audio region in the Tracks area, then choose On from the Flex &
Follow pop-up menu in the Region inspector.
Match the tempo to an audio region in Logic Pro
You can adjust the projects tempo to match the tempo of an audio region. The length of
the region remains constant, and the tempo changes to match the region.
For example, imagine you have imported a one-bar drum loop that doesn’t match your
project tempo. The drum loop adapts to your project tempo, becoming shorter or longer
than one bar. You can set the project tempo to match the original tempo of the drum loop,
using the Adjust Tempo using Region Length and Locators command.
The Adjust Tempo using Region Length and Locators command adjusts the project tempo
by creating a tempo change event at the start point of the selected audio region. This
ensures that the length of the selected audio region matches exactly the distance between
the locators.
Match the project tempo to an audio region
1. In the Logic Pro Tracks area, select the audio region to which you want to match the
project tempo.
2. Control-click the Cycle button in the control bar, and make sure the Auto Set Locators
by Region Selection option is not selected.
3. Set the left and right locator positions in the ruler.
