Tempo in Logic

After creating a custom tempo map in the tempo track, how to I ignore it momentarily to record at a steady tempo. In Digital Performer, I can choose between my custom tempo changes in the conductor track or switch back to steady tempo. This is great when you want to capture new midi performances without having to follow your changing tempo to do so.

How to change tempo of track by dragging the end of the track? About a week or two ago I was watching a YouTube video of someone making a beat in Logic Pro X and I remember seeing them dragging the track by the end from in between the loop and the flex drag to adjust the tempo of the track. They said it was a smart tempo feature and I cant find the video anymore. I just bought Logic Pro X and I was really excited to try that out but I couldn’t. Does anyone know how to do this?

Using smart tempo without making a mess I have an original track, to which I have added overdubs with slightly iffy timing. The original recording has no tempo information. I want to treat the original track as "set in stone", derive a tempo map from it, and then conform the overdubs to the tempo. I have set tempo mode to "adapt" and I'm looking at Smart tempo for the original track alone. Just to be sure, I select "Remove original tempo and analyze again", and it makes a tempo map that's not too awful. Unfortunately the overdub tracks are shifted all over the place relative to the original, and even tracks recorded simultaneously go horribly out of time. The result is completely unusable. I know that smart tempo has the ability to use multiple tracks when making a tempo map, but I don't want timing issues with the overdubs to affect the tempo, so I don't want their tempo to be taken into account when creating the map. At the same time, their audio should maintain its exact timing with respect to the original, as it was recorded. My aim is to use flex time to tweak the overdubs to be perfectly in time with the tempo map created from the original track. What's the right workflow/approach for this?

You could use the Global Track Tempo Set feature

Also available via the Tempo List editor

Thank you. I will try that as it looks like exactly what I’m looking for!
