However, since the Follow Tempo function does work if you bounce or
export tracks if you check the “Add to Audio Window” box, you can easily
use this to add Follow Tempo functionality to audio tracks that wouldn’t oth-
erwise have it. To do this, simply open your old Logic project in Logic Pro
7.1, or import your audio files from another audio application into a new
Logic Pro 7.1 project, and then select
FFiillee >> EExxppoorrtt >> AAllll TTrraacckkss aass AAuuddiioo

. Be sure to check the “Add to Audio Window” box in the file dialog.
Once exported, you will find all the exported audio files in the Audio Win-
dow. Simply replace the regions pointing to the old audio files with regions
pointing to the new audio files, and all your new files will now have the Fol-
low Tempo checkbox in their Region Parameter Boxes.
As with any form of time stretching, the quality of the time stretching results
you will get with Follow Tempo will depend on a number of factors, such as
the original timing of the recorded audio, how drastically you attempt to
change the tempo from its original recorded tempo, how accurate the timing
of the original performance was, and so on. In other words, let’s say your
initial audio was a piano performance with excellent timing at 120bpm. If
you check the Follow Timing box and subsequently speed your project up to
140bpm, the audio should sound very good and artifact-free at the new
tempo of 140bpm. However, let’s imagine that your starting file is a piano
performance, also recorded at 120bpm, but it was performed very sloppily
and often off-tempo. If you check the Follow Timing button and attempt to
slow it down to, say 70bpm, the result will most likely be unusable. Also be
aware that the Follow Tempo function does not time stretch your audio using
manually determined, musically relevant transients, like an Apple Loop. It
simply time adjusts the entire audio file based on the tagged tempo informa-
tion, just as if you used a time stretching algorithm on the entire file.
Apple Loops Handling
Some very welcome improvements have been added to Logic Pro’s support
of Apple Loops in this update. Apple Loops are discussed in detail in Chap-
ter 8 of Logic Pro 7 Power! beginning on page 276. Please refer to the book
for general information on Audio and MIDI Apple Loops and Logic Pro’s
previous support of Apple Loops.
