soultasto Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I've read a bunch of posts about this but I am still not sure after experimentation what is the best way to speed up (from 86 to 88) an entire project (about 20 tracks) without losing serious quality in Logic 9. There was a noticeable loss of quality when using VariSpeed. "Follow tempo" worked much better except for the bass which sounded warbled. It seems like flex is only for segments of a tune, not for the entire tune. Any suggestions? Thank you for reading. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillo jr Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Actually, you can use Flex for the whole tune and it works great. Make sure you pick the right flex mode for each kind of audio and tick the 'complex" box if you're using Polyphonic mode on any of them. Then all you need to do is pick a new tempo. If any of your audio was not recorded in Logic you'll need to do this: Select audio and Options / Tempo / Remove tempo information from audio file And then: Options / Tempo / Export tempo information to audio file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 It seems like flex is only for segments of a tune, not for the entire tune. Flex is a tool, you can use it however you see fit, and there's nothing wrong with flexing all audio tracks in your project so that they can follow your tempo changes.

soultasto Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Great. Thanks for your help guys. I will give it a go! Does it matter plug in effects on/off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Does it matter plug in effects on/off? No, Flex is processing the audio signal before the signal reaches the plug-ins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
