Cool thx: I'll mess with it and see: its all about learning as I go.

You should enable flex time on all the tracks
then adjust the tempo
then you will be cool.
another way to get out of this bind, if you have already futzed around with flex markers...
first turn off Flex Time......
record enable all the audio tracks.........
Then go to the end of the song and record say 4 bars of dead air.....
now join the regions for each track, creating a new complete region...(this is all at 90bpm btw)
then enable FLEX then adjust the tempo.
cheers

Yikes, I never used Flex time for anything, although I have used Flex Pitch on rare occasions, I no longer use it at all because it created artifacts all to often. I was told once finished, make a bounced copy, then turn off flex pitch on the original track, this way you still have an unaltered original.
Don't forget, if you do change tempo, pitch will change too, and if you record any new tracks, you have to tune to the rack by ear.
Kcat, you'll probably never get an answer to a Logic pro question from Apple's 90 day service number people, you need a trained Logic Pro expert. There's usually at least one expert at each Apple store, so go there and make a new friend, you'll need one.

I'm pretty sure all audio tracks just lock to their start positions and the files aren't altered. Martin, no doubt you're ears are better than mine, but if you use the correct flex type, and don't move things more than a few ms with flex, it's inaudible. Quite amazing really. I'm using flex to align tracks more and more. Like bass to the drums. When a group like all the drum tracks are "Phase-locked," you can use it on them as well.

Man, I gotta get out more. I'm not a great bass player, ut maybe Flex could have helped me on some of my demo tracks.
I've globally changed tempo and tracks are all off, but perhaps it's different using Flex. I doubt that the dsp engine could keep pitch the same every instrument while changing the tempo, but I'm not sure about any of this.

Flex time does not change pitch although you can change pitch with it. I find flex time is partially working but not consistently but the may be because of how I edited the tracks before. I have been saving each major session with a different date name so I am screwing around in a working file. In one of the training videos it was stated if you are moving around bpm by less than 15 or so probably won't hear artifacts. I am actually increasing bpm by like 3-5 rpm so fingers crossed no artifacts. As Jk didn't end up taking us through his logic inauguration I thought I would : worts and all

Third times the charm: thx Wiz/m57 etc., that worked perfectly.
I find I have to go into the tempo marker automation lane and manually move the line to the tempo I want but I set all tracks to flex then did the tempo change and worked perfectly.
A little silly, like porridge temp, o, I don't mean to be a bear about tempo, but I found 90 a little slow, wasn't certain about 93, so did 95 as well: easy peasy: am liking logic a lot.

I recorded to click at 90 bpm and would like to try to change that to 95 bpm and not re-record.... You should be able to just change the tempo to 95. You don't even need to turn on flex. Just make sure that Follow Tempo And Pitch is selected in the region inspector. I have been editing sections by cutting and pasting to create the current song structure. I have not glued those tracks each into 1 new track. So any advice about how to increase the track/project tempo after the fact ? Thx ! I don't know how you have edited your files but you can always export the tempo that you wan't onto your files. Select the regions you want to affect and choose Edit > Tempo > Export Tempo to Audio File. So in your situation stay at 90 BPM and Export that tempo. Turn on flex and change the BPM to 95.

Thx Eric,
its great to start getting my feet underneath me in logic.
I'll keep posting my little dilemma's as I muddle along !
