How often, and with what? I'm just curious, and interested. 🤔😁

Unfortunately I couldn’t attend the event but definitely planning to watch the replay if available. What was your favorite moment?

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??

In case you missed it, our 5-day Vocal Production Workshop with Austen Jux-Chandler (Adele, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, Kali Uchis) starts this coming Monday, March 2nd, at 12pm Eastern Time. If you don't have your ticket yet, it's not too late. Grab a ticket here before the event starts on Monday. I have included the original post below with all the info. Hope to see lots of you there! Leave a comment below if you're coming 🔥 ------------- Super excited to share something with you today that's a first of it's kind for Mastering.com We're hosting an exclusive 5-day Vocal Production workshop where you'll get to learn the A to Z of recording and mixing vocals from Adele's very own engineer. Introducing Austen Jux-Chandler. Austen won a Grammy for recording Adele on her album, 25. In the attached photos, can see him on stage (second from the left) accepting the Grammy with Adele. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Austen has also recorded Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, A$AP Rocky, SZA, Mark Ronson, and John Legend. He has earned a reputation as one of the top vocal producers in the world. We recently hung out with Austen at Lion Share Studios in LA, where he told us that he prefers to record at his artist's homes, rather than multi-million dollar studios. It helps create a more comfortable environment that improves the performance, he said. That's when I knew we had to do something with Austen, so he could show you step-by-step how he's able to record Grammy-winning vocals in a bedroom. So, starting March 2nd, Austen is going to spend 5-days with students live on Zoom, teaching his entire methodology from session prep to recording, editing, comping, mixing, creative effects, and more. Austen has never opened up his process like this before, so don't miss this chance to learn from one of the best in the industry.
