For example, I have a 3 minute guitar recording that was not recorded along with the tempo. Therefore, the beat does not match the tempo nor does the beat match the 4/4 measure.
So then, what can I do to make the recording match the 4/4 beat and tempo?
MacBook Air, iOS 9.3.2
Unfortunately this feature is not available in GarageBand.
In general, you have two option:
Adjust the audio to the steady beat ("Detect Tempo of selected Region") or adjust the tempo (create a Tempo map) for the existing audio. In your case, you usually do the last one.For that, you need to use the Beat Mapping feature in Logic. It is a little bit of an advanced feature and you have to read up on it to know how to use it.
Basically, you assign the tempo markers (bars, beats to the audio recording and Logic adjusts the Tempo Events accordingly
So, ready to upgrade to Logic yet?
Hope that helps

That doesn't sound too difficult. I'm actually plannig on upgrading to logic very soon, as I've been trying to master GarageBand as much as possible before making the upgrade. I bought the textbook for LogiC Pro X recenty, and assume it will include info on "Beat Mapping" and associating functions.
How do I edit the tempo of a track to fit the beat to the measure?
