changing a loops base tempo [SOLVED]

Without noticing, I stupidly got quite a long way into a tune treating 8th notes as 4th notes, so my tempo is 205 and it should be 102.5.

 

Now i'm trying to add a loop and obviously its playing twice as fast as i want it to.

 

Any suggestions?

thanks rev and david.

 

David, if i do that will i not be applying time stretch to my loop twice? Once to put the loop in at the fast tempo and then again to reduce it back to normal with flex.

A bit like making an aiff/wav into an mp3 then making the mp3 into an aiff, the quality wil be reduced to the weakest link?

The loop has some sort of tempo mtadata attatched to it, is there no way i can access this and change the tempo?

No, the only thing that matters is the displayed length of your loop, not how you got to display it like that. Then the stretching is only calculated once.

Yes, that's exactly the way. It's kinda like telling your loop "You should be 2 bars", then finally "You should be 4 bars". It's not like it will first stretch it to 2 bars, then to 4 bars. Logic will simply stretch it to 4 bars right away. Just like with any Flex editing, you could keep moving that upper right corner as many times as you wanted to readjust, and still the stretching would only be applied once based on the final length of the region.

 

In Logic, Flexed audio regions are loaded in RAM and Flex editing is applied non-destructively, once, in real-time upon playback.
