Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hey guys,

     Great discussion here, I've been following the audio quantizing topic with interest.  And 
the topic of percussion not syncing when transferred from DP to Logic.  Good discussion!

      A few things here.  First, and foremost, I did a project recently where my session tempo 
was 120 (default) and a piano player played along with the audio tracks playing at the 
percieved 155 bpm.  So .... the midi she played into logic I wanted to quantize (badly).  But if 
you change the tempo in the song, the audio doesn't change lengths, but the midi region 
does.  Any way to bypass that and have the length stay the same?   I ended up bouncing the 
midi to an external sequencer (ensoniq asr-10) and then recording it back to Logic at the 
correct tempo.  There has to be an easier way!

      And with Audio .... I've noticed that when I change the tempo sometimes regions of 
audio, will adjust with it.  Only about one track.  I've tried making sure nothing is selected 
(track or audio segments).  It's really screwed up some of my edits.  I just wanted all the 
audio to sit where it was.

      Thanks,

              Pete

Apple just posted a tip on their website that might address your first
problem:

Basically, it's about how to timestretch a midi sequence.

Thats a great resource to bookmark : 
http://www.apple.com/pro/techniques/

The option drag on midi has been there a long time. However, I find it a 
little erratic when its not exactly double time or half time. Maybe my 
imagination.

I haven't used it myself.  But maybe check that quantization is off.

Thanks for the tip guys!   I would have never found that on my own!  I'll give that a try with 
my session and report back.

I probably mentioned it, but I had to bounce it to an external sequencer, then change the 
tempo in Logic and record it back in in real time.

Sincerely,

     Pete
