When tapping in a selection, only the downbeats or beats in the selected area are changed. You can make adjustments in two different ways: by playing the file or selection and tapping the D and T keys on your computer keyboard to indicate downbeats (D) and beats (T), or by editing beat markers in the main display. For me, the first reason is the main reason I use this.
(Be careful not to overwrite existing key commands) Go to File/Project Settings/Synchronization. Work in the Smart Tempo Editor – Logic Pro X: Logic Pro X/Key Commands/Edit/ or Opt-K Under Global Commands find Tap Tempo (search keyword Tap) and define a key using the Learn By Key Label Button. It’s easier if the tempo is known, but hey… Most frequently I take drum tracks or drums and bass tracks and analyze the tempo. Handy way to get a tempo “idea” out of your head and into the project. The first time you tap the tempo, an alert appears, asking if you want to enable Tap Tempo.
It is a Global Command not assigned to any key, a specific tool in the Smart Tempo editor.Īssign a key command to Tap Tempo, then use the key command to set the tempo.
There are multiple places where Tap Tempo can be used.
