Troubles with Logic's Smart Tempo
Hello fellow Logic Pro experts! This question is for you. In our studio we often arrange music on a Yamaha psr-sx900. We then import a WAV file into a Logic Pro session. When I import the wave file, it follows the built in click or metronome well in the beginning, but slowly moves so that by the end of the (usually 7-8min) song it's completely out of sync with the click. There's no noticable tempo change though, as in internally the music sounds ok without the click. Smart Tempo is set to Keep (same as the tempo from the keyboard), and both "Set new recordings to" and "set imported files to" are set to OFF in the Smart Tempo project settings. Flex and Follow is OFF for the chanel, and I make sure the first downbeat of the file aligns with a downbeat on the grid. Also, everything is quantized on the keyboard before it's arranged into a MIDI file (style) and exported to audio. When I set Smart Tempo to Adapt, I see lots of small changes on the tempo line and sometimes hear noticable changes in the file itself. When I set Smart Tempo to AUTO, sometimes it's ok, but sometimes the music slows down or speeds up very obviously. So, Keep seems the least destructive. I'd rather Logic not alter my file at all. It really slows down my workflow and is super frustrating. Any thoughts??

The way I understand this is you create and export the wav on your keyboard, and then import this into Logic. I would think there's a discrepancy between the internal clock on the Yamaha and Mac/Logic (like Gus said). It takes less than 0.01 difference in tempo to create a rather noticeable lag in sync 7-8 mins in. You could possibly remedy this using flex time on the imported track, which should align it more properly to the grid in Logic.

Dec 2025 FTM - Valley of Death MIX
Had a go at this one yesterday evening - rather quick turnaround for me, so curious to hear what you guys think 😅 Vocals too up front? Guitars still a little loud? 🤔 (I realised this morning I should've pushed my master a bit more on my entry last night, but at least tried it on this one ... ) EDIT: Just for the fun of it, I'll include also a link to my Produce-A-Thon version from the event in April (we only got the vocal, so all chords and such everyone decided on their own) https://soundcloud.com/petterjensen/valley-of-death/s-gVAiPcWbqXD?si=14e57a24898b456aac23fe78d6ca3c34&u

@Christopher Mullins So what you're saying is you've just been slacking for the past few months? tsk tsk 😉 Yeah, I get it. I think it's why I kind of enjoy the Intensives - forces me to focus. Gonna complete the set with Mastering in January. Learned a lot though, so now I need to show it too. Major hit incoming - or something 😅

@James Willmott Yeah, it's a great song for sure! Cole is a very talented artist. Really good job on the mix imo. My main comments would be it's lacking a bit of depth, pretty much everything feels a little up front and busy to me, which might also have made the vocal a wee bit too much in the presence range(?). I think your hats/tambo parts in particular are quite a bit too loud, but I would probably tuck the fiddle and piano a little back as well. I panned those ever so slightly left and right to get them a bit out of the way of the lead btw. Other than that I think it's pretty well balanced. Foundation sounds solid.
FTM Channel Strips Stems
Where can I download the stems from the recent FTM - Channel Strips event? I've tried through Classroom and Calendar, clicking on the event replay links. I can't see them anywhere. TIA

Some tips for orchestral programming
Hello all, for my solo metal project, I would like to write a little classical piece, of course with samples. Which banks could be interesting and cheap :) and do you know some good YouTubers, or books for newbies? Regards
