Music Spirit Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Importing a music video into Logic (which I dont do very much) I want to Beatmap by hand ie midi template input the soundtrack so that the bars correspond to what is being heard. My understanding of Beatmapping is that Beat 1 of the music has to coincide with a given Beat 1 of the Logic - ie of a given bar, could be any bar. In Beatmapping just normal mp3s I will zoom into the wave graphic and using my ears and eyes slide the Region around until the downbeat coincides with a Beat 1 of the bar. Then input in real time playing along with with a midi drum sound on another the track ( to create the template). However on movies when extracting the audio, I notice that the smpte is Locked by default - and also that it seems a bit tricky to shift the movie and the audio to the downbeat of a given bar... * * * Can someone describe how best to do this? And what is and isnt possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 You can beat map the first downbeat of the music to the nearest bar, which would change the first tempo event, so you can leave the movie and its audio where it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Indeed you don't need to move the region: just drag the first beat of a bar to the beat 1 in your audio region to line them up, the same way you will then continue to map beats in your audio region: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Music Spirit Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Hi David, thanks for your clear graphic but.. sorry but I have hunted around the various menus and google and cannot find out how to display the wave form that you drag the that flexible white line too... ( ie above the main track wave form).... Edited May 14, 2022 by Music Spirit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select the audio region, and if necessary click "Beat Mapping" in the Beat Mapping track header and choose Analyze Transients. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
