Logic:Tap tempo map

Tap tempo map
You can create a tempo map of a song (or find its tempo) is by recording a tap tempo. You can also use this technique to tap a tempo and record the taps as a tempo map.

To create a tap tempo map, follow these steps.


 * 1) Import the audio file you wish to create a tempo map to, and add that file to an audio track
 * 2) Record enable a MIDI track and push record on the transport, then "tap" a midi note to the respective time value of the song. For out example we will assume we have a song that plays in 4/4 time, so we will "tap" every quarter note (1/4) for the entire song.
 * 3) Once you do this, manually edit each MIDI note you just tapped by moving it so it lines up as perfect as possible to each corresponding note in the song.
 * 4) Now select the MIDI region you just created and click the "beats from region" option on the Beat Mapping track.
 * 5) In the note value field select the time signature of your taps. In our example it was 1/4

Now you should have a tempo map. You can see a visual representation of your tempo changes by looking at the tempo track in the global tracks header. You might need to go to view / configure global tracks and click '''"tempo" to see it. '''
