Logic equiv. of Beat Detective?

I needed a little help with this - I was wondering how to correct "slightly loose" audio files in Logic (other than cutting and pasting in the sample editor). Specifically, do you know if there is anything like Protools "beat detective" in logic to help get everything in sync and on the beat? Any other methods that you know of? I'm working on an acoustic guitar piece and trying to tighten it up. Thanks in advance - Anne

Hi Anne, Logic has the same feature but its implementation is probably different. Logic has what is called "Beat Mapping". It will allow a piece of audio or midi to be conductor and lets you"map" the beat by marking transients and letting that piece of audio set the tempo.So instead of changing the audio in questions tempo, Logic changes the tempo of the song to match the audio or midi file.Of course this is in version 7. In version 8 they have turned this around to change the audio to fit the songs tempo. I have not worked with version 8 feature yet.Look up "Beat Mapping" in the help section of Logic.

Wow, lots to chew on here!I opted for re-recording it and then fixing anything major in the sample editor. I will check out all of the helpful advice - Thanks!!

I also found some great logic info on youtube by SFLogicNinja . Very good information and very clear examples - makes me love that beat mapping!
