Hi,

I´m starting to work with Logic express, and i´ve imported an audio file, but the program altered the bpm of the file to the bpm rate defined. (usually it´s 120). Could anyone tell me how to do this the right way. I want to work with the original bpm rate of the file, i´ve tried to figure out what it was but found nothing.

Thanks

Put the audio on a track, in cycle mode. Then use the BPM meter plugin to determin the tempo.

Set the tempo in Logic then reimport the audio.

Thanks, but this is very new to me, how do i use the bpm meter plug-in, and does the track have to be playing while i do that.

Yes the audio must be playing for the bpm plug to work.
Works best on rhytmic audio.

A simple method is to trim the audio file to one bar (in the sample editor for example). Then place the 1 bar file onto an audio track at bar 1. Set the loop locators on the transport bar for a 1 bar loop (ie 1 0 0 0 to 2 0 0 0) and press "T". Logic will ask if you wish to adjust the global tempo so click yes. This will set the global tempo to match that of the 1 bar audio file.
