How To Exchange Tempo and Marker Info in LOGIC with Just Audio!

On my previous article, I have shown you how to exchange a tempo list from a MIDI file. The MIDI file can come from various sources, including other DAWs or other keyboard workstations.

LOGIC has another way of accomplishing tempo changes. That's embedding the tempo and marker information in audio file by exporting a track. Like the MIDI situation, once the tempo information is in the Tempo list you can then cut and paste that information into yet any of other LOGIC project.

How To Import or Export MIDI Tempo Information with Apple LOGIC 8 and 9

When you are collaborating with another musician, it may become necessary to exchange MIDI files with tempo information intact.

I recently had to do this for the first time, and I had some challenges, but finally figured out how to do this completely. So here is how.

The key for you to know are the following pieces of information:

• MIDI track EXPORT does save the tempo change information.
• MIDI IMPORT however does not load the tempo change information.
• File->Open a MIDI file with a conductor info in it, and it will import the tempo information.
• You can cut and paste the Tempo List between Logic projects.

The BIG Tricks Are:

• Do not IMPORT MIDI, instead File->Open the MIDI file (and it will open) and LOGIC will create a temporary General MIDI project.
• Open the Tempo List from the temporary project, then you can cut and paste the tempo list from that project to another.
