jeffloven Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I purchased a midi file -the original song has many tempo dynamics I'm wanting to capture. I know how to tap quarters in to beat map it but I have found the midi file has one measure of 4/4 where it's actually supposed to be 2/4. Is there a way for me to cut 2 beats out of this measure..?...there is just a held note and I cut it out of the midi file but need to make the measure time signature reflect it also to get my new beatmap to work (I am very excited to have this advanced feature from Logic-it will save me hours) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffloven Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'm going to simply slide all of the midi tracks over and keep it in 4/4 entirely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffloven Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 oops-that didn't work. Now all of the midi is horribly off grid..I did this once and made a midi file of a Meatloaf song play perfectly with the original track but I forgot how i did it...

jeffloven Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 oops. now when i tap in perfect quarternotes to the recording of Toby keith (gulp) and play it back the notes are not in sync with the recording regardless if SMPTE is on or off and I 'm in low latency mode. I have tried every combination of options. I just don't get it. I'm going to start completely over again for the 7 or 8th time here...uggh...

jeffloven Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Okay. I have successfully tapped in the quarter notes. they play along with the prerecorded track audio. I have successfully applied beats from region to rewrite the tempo and the metronome plays along with the track now also. BUT-all of the midi is off grid and does not play correctly...

Eriksimon Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 OK, recap: you have a MIDI file. There is one measure of 4/4 in there that you say should be one measure of 2/4? Right? Well, what you need to do is cut all regions on the 3rd beat, and on the 1 of the next beat, then select all those and delete them and then... wait, I'll make a movie. First, select all regions and split: then, select all right hand regions, move them left to reconnect, then go to the signature list and create two new time signatures as shown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
