Making loops match up to the tempo

So I have a live recording that I want to use a drum break from, I can grab the loop and add it to my library but I cant set the tempo cause I don't know what it is. The old garageband I use to be able to adjust the tempo and watch the grid move as the loops stayed in place so I could aproximate the tempo. GB08 this is not the case, any advice. Maybe a free loop program that is available to help with this one task?

i don't quite understand the method you're using, but if the loop is an audio ("real") loop, then you can turn off the Follow Tempo checkbox in the track editor

How can I change the tempo of a drum loop?

Ok so I have the rhythm pack and lot's of drum loops. They are all insanely fast. It's hilarious, I can't find a single loop with just a constant hi hat tap suitable for the beginning of a slow rock song.
More importantly, there doesn't seem to be a way to adjust the tempo of just the drum loops. It seems like it should be an easy thing but I've tried everything and looked all over google.
Please, if there's a work around to slowing down these 2000+ super fast drum loops, help!
Thanks

The drum loops should adjust to the tempo of your song, also in the preview. So if you set your song to a crazy fast tempo, all loops will play very fast!

Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault. And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

How do I adjust the tempo or BPM of a sample to match the song I'm working on?

Hi, the title pretty much says it all.
I am working on a tune in audition CS6, however I am aware that audition is not intended for music production, but I already have the beat, bass line and melody laid down in a multi-track session, now I have download a few audio samples and acapellas that I want to use on my tune but do not know how to go about matching the tempo so that my audio sample fits like a glove over my original tune.
Please help.

There are two things you need to know, really. The first is that when you import a clip into multitrack view, by default stretching is off. But if you grab the little triangle at either the top left or top right of a clip, you can stretch it anyway - this turns stretching for the clip on automatically. To get things right initially, you need to position the clip at the correct start point, and stretch or shrink the end point so that it finishes where you want it to. The second thing is that the 'slip' tool is sometimes useful here as well. This leaves your clip window exactly where it is, and lets you slide the clip around within it, so you can, if you want, 'push' the beat with your clip - or of course the complete opposite.
By default, clip stretching is in real time, but the chances are that when you've got it in the right place you'll want to improve the quality. So you right-click on your clip, select the stretching options and set it to render it, rather than run in real-time mode. This takes longer, but sounds miles better.
Once you get used to it, these operations are pretty easy to carry out.

HT4914 I often record songs at a particular tempo, iTunes Match will then match it and send it back to me at the original tempo, is there anyway I can stop some songs from being matched. At the moment I have turned match off. But I would like to sync play

How old was this backup? It sounds like it was at least several weeks old.
You can look directly in the TM backup for the music.
1. Connect to the external HDD the backup is kept on.
2. Open a Finder window and select the backup drive in the left hand panel. Double click into the folders until you see a list of folders with dates.
These are the incremental backups. You can start at the top or the bottom of the list but I suggest you double Latest/<HDD Name>/Users/<Account Name>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. From this location you can start looking for the "missing" music. When/if you find it you can simply drag-n-drop to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music on the internal HDD.
If the music is actually not in the backups (for whatever reason) then you've got a problem.
You can download the uploaded files from the cloud by deleting the affected tracks from the iTunes library (but not the cloud!), highlighting multiple tracks at once, right-clicking and choosing "download."

I am trying to change the tempo of a loop from Garageband.

Hi,
I am trying to change the tempo of a loop from garage band. I have seen video tutorials where people would do this from just below their tabs in their editor. However I cant get that option to come up.
Also, I have tried using the Apple Loop utility, and I can change the BPM at the bottem but then it wont let me save the file.
I would prefer to change the tempo in soundtrack pro but at this point I will try anything.
Thx for listening.

Left pane, Project Tab. Scroll down to the bottom and find tempo and key settings. These will control any loops in your project.

How do you change the tempo of a drum loop?

Forgive my ignorance but I am still familiarizing myself with all the features of the program. How do you change the tempo of a drum loop? I see in the help file where it tells you how to change the projects overall tempo but not where to change the drum tempo itself. Thanks.

Nevermind I found it, thanks.

Imported loops are missing in the loop browser

I have been having this problem ever since I purchased my mac last September. I tried upgrading to iLife '05 and Garageband 2 to try and fix the problem to no avail. I have checked (and doublechecked) the loop indexes for Garageband. There are three of them. The first is for the original loops included in Garageband. Then there is the single loops folder. Finally, there is the loop index of my Soundtrack Loop library that I am trying to import. I should note, here as well that it HAS successfully indexed the entire Soundtrack Loop library. Even the loops that don't show up in the loop browser are accounted for in the loop index. Also, I have confirmed that all of the actual files are where they are supposed to be, referenced to by the index. I have tried reinstalling Garageband 2 twice, and found no change. Any other advice in this realm would be hot.
Thanx,
Ben

That's correct, 2 semitones. And of course you don't turn off the keyword browsing with this checkbox, you can still browse the loops by keywords. You turn off the "filter for better results" that doesn't show you the loops that are more than those 2 semitones away from the key that you set for your song. What you can't turn off is that the loop browser only shows you loops that match the measure of your song - so you get very few when you use an exotic measure.

Preview loops in their native key & tempo - Can it be done?

Sometimes I just want to browse my loops to hear what I've got -- not for a particular song. In this case, listening to a loop transposed and sped-up/ slowed-down just gets in the way. And changing the key and tempo of the open project all the time is just a huge hassle.
I have tried various modifier keys (control, option, command, shift) while clicking the loop to preview it, but it still plays in the key and tempo of the project. Ack!

I use the Finder to preview files in their native key and tempo. You could spend a few bucks for AudioFinder to preview your loops. If I had a few extra dollars I would buy that application just to preview and manipulate loops outside of Garageband.
I have gotten used to previewing with the finder, it alows me to quickly trash a loop I know I'm never gonna use.

Apple loops not getting saved with tempo info

I can't seem to make an apple loop that would get saved with the current projects tempo....i recorded a single bar midi drum loop with 130 as project tempo but when i save it as an apple loop it gets saved with a tempo of 92bpm. strange thing is when i drag the same loop back on a instrument track it plays at the current tempo i.e., at 130bpm but if i drag it to an audio track it plays at 92bpm... really stuck here....any help would be greatly appreciated..thanx..

ok now i have got half of the problem solved....i had left the "follow tempo" region parameter ticked....so now when i unticked it the loop follows the project tempo....but i dont understand y does the loops get saved with a tempo of 92 whereas the project tempo is 130bpm....moreover when i audition these loops they don't really LOOP while playin back....

How can I find out the tempo of an imported quicktime audio file?

Hi. I'm trying to improve my music production skills by emulating the tracks of techno artists that I like.
My idea is to import one of their mp3 files into an audio track in Logic, so that I can see how they developed their songs.
After I import the song, it plays fine. But is there anyway to make it so that the track matches up with the grid without altering the tempo of the track itself? Somehow I think if I knew what the tempo for the track was, I could just adjust the tempo for the project and the song would fall in sync with the grid.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

You can find a BPM Counter in the metering folder in your audio plug ins. Just pop that baby on the track you're trying to analyze, hit play, and it will calculate the BPM. Then set the track to that and you're good to go.
Check out this video too on Beat Mapping, it's got a lot of cool info:

How to change the tempo in ultrabeat

I simply want to know how to change the tempo of a beat to the desired speed... all i can see thus far is under resolution, 1/12, 1/16, etc. But I want to match the tempo with a sample I am using which I have pasted onto an audio track.. and those increments obviously are insufficient in getting me the desired speed...
some assistance would be greatly appreciated.. thanks

Check your metronome settings first. Either click hold, or right (command) click on the record button.
If everything checks out there, go to your mixer. Check the all (single, arrange, all) button. You should now be able to see instrument track #256 Klopfgeist (sp?). Maybe you deleted it? Add it. Also check it's output is set to the correct channel.

I had this exact issue. Spent over an hour on the phone with apple support, they couldn't resolve. Here is what I ended up doing, that worked.
1. Turned iTunes match off on all my iOS devices
2. Deleted the offending playlists from the iOS device they originated on
3. Started iTunes, let it run (literally) for an hour before it became responsive. First thing I did, before clicking anywere else was disable iTunes match. If I clicked anywhere, it would clock for another hour.
4. Let iTunes run overnight, by morning it had cleaned out the repeating play lists. This got my Mac/iTunes back to an operable state.
5. Restore iPhones from backup in iTunes.
What was causing my issue was a single playlist that was created on an iPhone, then suddenly showed up with several thousand duplicates on my other iPhone. The culprit playlist did not, for some reason, duplicate itself on my two iPads. Apple support seemed to think it was because the problem iPhone tried to sync the playlist to iCloud over and over again unsuccessfully, then it finally went through and populated the thousands of blank/failed playlists which then tried to propigate to iTunes and my other iOS devices. Seems like a reasonable theory.
I have not yet re-enabled iTunes match. So, no idea what will happen if I decide to go back down that rabbit hole.

The tempo setting applies to the whole song, but only to the recorded midi instruments or loops. It's a bit of a kludge, but you could record different sections at different tempos, export each as an AIFF file, then glue them together in a new project.
The same goes for the key.
