Example: A project was created with audio hardware set to operate at 96 kHz. Moving
this project to a notebook computer, or setup that does not support the original
project’s sample rate, will commonly result in the wrong playback speed. The native
real time sample rate conversion facility will counteract this effect, allowing correct
playback of the project on the laptop, at any sample rate.
Note: High sample rates not only eat drive space, but also result in more CPU load.
Setting the Project Tempo
You can set the basic project tempo in the Transport, the Tempo track, or the Tempo
List. Logic Pro displays tempo as quarter notes per minute, or beats per minute (bpm).
It ranges from 5 to 9999 bpm, and is adjustable to four decimal places after the whole
value.
To set the project tempo, do one of the following:
m
Click-hold the Transport tempo value and drag up or down, or double-click the tempo
field, then type a new value.
m
Click-hold the tempo value in the Tempo List and drag up or down, or double-click the
tempo field, then type a new value.
m
Open the Tempo track, and drag the tempo line up or down with the Pointer tool.
