Problem With Mp3's To Follow Tempo In Logic, how do you get a mp3 file to follow temp Options

[teeej]

I pretty much have Logic Pro down but there is one thing that
I haven't been able to figure out - say I want to do a mash up
or remix a song in Logic , I import a mp3 file /song - it's tempo
is like 158 bpm , my other tracks tempo is 139 bpm - how do I
get these two tracks to follow my master/ project tempo of 145bpm?
I know how to change the tempo and even how to create a tempo
curve, I tried beat mapping , quantizing, I've even made short loops of parts of these songs in Recycle and then I bring them back into Logic they will not snap to the tempo I want -145bpm. I also tried converting these Recycle loops to Apple loops and still no luck , - But all of the stock Apple loops will follow the tempo like they should , what am I doing wrong ? I have version 7.1

Are you using soundtrack loop utility to make your apple loops? Are you editing your loops starting on the transients of your audio? I have never tried to do this particular thing in Logic but I have made my own Apple loops using the soundtrack loop utility and they all worked fine for me. The soundtrack loop utility is in your Utilities folder which is in your Applications folder.
