340 Chapter 8 Global Tracks
Beats from Region
The Beats from Region button (labeled Beats from Rgn) in the Beat Mapping track
column is used for an automatic Beat Mapping method that works with a self-recorded
“Metronome Region”: Use a MIDI track and an appropriate sound (such as a closed hi-
hat or cross-stick) to record a one note per beat metronome click that fits the music in
the existing Region/s.
If some of the Metronome Region notes are not in time with the original recording, you
can edit their positions in any of the MIDI editors—in order to get them “in sync” with
the music. Select the Metronome Region, and click the Beats from Region button. Logic
will map all beats to the notes in this Region, and insert tempo changes to preserve the
original timing, starting with the first beat in bar one. Although the audible result
doesn’t change, the music will be displayed correctly with regard to its bar positions. In
fact, this procedure is almost identical to the Reclock function, using a Guide Region, in
previous Logic versions, but its much easier to handle.
Beat Mapping to Movie Cut Positions
If the Video track is visible, a QuickTime movie is loaded, and the Detect Cuts function
(in the Video track) is used on it, the detected scene cuts appear as available mapping
positions (vertical lines) at the bottom of the Beat Mapping track. You can easily define
a cut position as the first downbeat of a bar by allocating it to the bar position as
described above.
Beat Mapping to Markers
If the Marker track is visible, you can select the desired marker (click) or multiple
markers (Shift-click) as available mapping positions (vertical lines) at the bottom of the
Beat Mapping track. Once done, you can hide the Marker track.
