The improvement in 10.2.1 was made to the Global Beat Mapping track’s automatic mode ( Beats from Region)-I’ll describe each method in turn, and then finish up with that. Logic’s Beat Mapping options can be broken down into three different methods: Once the correct Tempo map is in place, this allows Bar & Beat grid-based editing to be done more easily and efficiently, while still preserving the looser, more musical timing of the original performance. Just a quick reminder-Beat Mapping creates a (usually) varying Tempo (map) to match the timing of a performance (again, audio or MIDI) where the original tempo is unknown, and, typically, varies slightly over the course of the piece, which was often not played against a click.

They all work with both audio and MIDI files, and they all can get the job done, although the methods that involve manual tweaking are far more time-consuming than the automatic approach. Three in oneĪs is usually the case with almost everything in Logic, there are multiple ways to approach Beat Mapping. But before getting into a detailed description, it might be worth it to do a brief overview of Logic’s Beat Mapping options, to put things in context. Logic’s new algorithm seems to deliver noticeably better results, at least on the several songs I tried it out on. Under-the-hood tweaks like this often go unnoticed, in the bustle of flashier new features, but Beat Mapping-in all DAWs-has always been as much art as science, especially automatic features like Logic’s, so any enhancements that might improve reliability and efficiency are always welcome.
#FLEX TIME LOGIC PRO 9 UPDATE#
Among the many, many new features and fixes in the recent Logic 10.2.1 update (now at 12.2.2), there was a small one slipped in quietly-an improvement in the automatic Beat Mapping algorithm.
