Turn on the metronome sound and adjust Logic's tempo until it sounds right and is playing in time with the a capella track?
You're right - there must be a better way.

the link above is from a very good logic faq. also if you are using logic 6 you look in the options>tempo menu. there are some tools there that help with tempo adjustment. with accapella vocals i have found the you may need to edit where the file hits. you double click on the audio track in the arrangement window and then move the anchor to where the you need. this will help a lot when syncing vocals with timed tracks in the arrangement window. whew! that was really dirty. if you have any questions try to explain what you have tried and maybe i can help you more. jeremy |

Hi man,you can not calculate bpm an acapella track with Logic because this program is dedicated to make music and special for midi maker,but you can calculate with Sound Forge(this soft have an special function to calculate ....Acid calculate) and with Recycle 2.0 but if the acapella is not rithmical is very hard to do that.Sorry for my bad english and I hope you find thw way to make what you want.Succes.....George

Thanks for the heads up Edit!
I'm gonna mess around with the tempo adjust...and cleaning up the start point should help as well. I've pretty much just been syncing up 1/4 notes on an instrument track, and trying to match it up by ear. Play it once, adjust the tempo, repeat until cooked.... It's a bit slow, and definately not an exact science, but it's all i've been able to come up with. I'm a long time MPC user, still knee-deep in the Logic learning curve - so I'm just making it up as I go along.... I shall report back any findings... Thanks again for the info. krs |
