I'm not a Logic user, but it seems like I remember you guys talking about this. I've got a project I'm trying to add tracks to which obviously wasn't played to a track. It's just a guitar vocal, but if I'm going to put some percussion in, it would be nice if I could have the swaying tempo shown and then any type of percussion that I drag in just matches up. But I can't seem to get Logic to analyze the current guitar track. I see that I can change from "Keep" to "Adapt" - then the "Tempo" track shows up, but how do I then get Logic to map out the tempo of the guitar track?

I'm still baffled on occasion how the feature works.. but I would say you're best off starting with a new project ..or at the very least make sure you drop the guitar track where no other tracks exist so it becomes the 'base' track - to which all other tracks map.

Logic's new smart tempo can make the beat map of the track be the beat map of the session then everything will conform to that beat map. support.apple.com/en-ca/HT208458

OK - I found it. Right click, apply region tempo to project. This part is crazy. Extra bars here and there too...oy vey.

Good God, Logic is confusing.

So, it's going to do better if you import it IN adapt mode, IME.....not try to apply it after....and I always like to give it a hand--like if it's a song roughly at 104, set the tempo to 104 before you import it. If you're not married to timestamps already, which still in "adapt" move the first downbeat TO what would be bar3's downbeat--so you get a metronome click for two bars and then in....
LPX does amazingly well at the detection....but, Cubase does amazingly better and manually touching up so that the pulse is in the pocket and not on a transient. Cubase's auto detect works better than it once did....so, if you don't want to use Logic, you don't have to--I do think you need to understand more about pulse vs transient to get it right in Cubase than Logic, which rolls in a little "musical logic".
....but, also--it's a midi tempo map. Make sure the file is to timestamp in Logic....so that it will line up--and export a midi file....pull that into Cubase, and viola--you have Logic's better auto detection with Cubase's Warp tool's better touch up ability.
There will likely always be clean up. The way you avoid that? Clap, click drum sticks, or mute strum an acoustic along....and have it detect tempo from that, not the original audio.
Another tip? For Cubase, it you'll manually map the first handful of bars, and THEN do the tempo detection, it's considerably more accurate. It's as if it see what you've done and that gives it just enough assumption to "Carry on like that"....
I've done this since I had to tap on a midi key along with the entire song linearly against tape SMTPE code coming into Performer. #GeritolWorthy
