Chapter 14 Recording in Logic Pro 373
Note: Follow Tempo is not available for take folders. If you want a take folder recording
to follow the project tempo, you need to flatten and merge it (see “Flatten and Flatten
and Merge” on page 377).
Audio regions created in another project, or audio files imported from another
application, can not automatically adjust to the project tempo (the Follow Tempo
checkbox is not shown in the Region Parameter box).
Such audio files have a fixed playback rate, and can only be matched to new tempos by
doing one of the following:
 Time stretching or compressing the files (or regions): Logic Pro’s time compression/
expansion algorithms only permit you to match audio to new tempos when the
tempo differences involved are relatively small; if you try to significantly change the
tempo of your recordings, audio quality may be compromised (see “Time Stretching
Regions” on page 525).
 Changing the audio files into Apple Loop format files. This file type makes
transposition and time stretching tasks much easier (see Chapter 28, “Creating Apple
Loops,” on page 615).
Deleting Audio Recordings
Deleting an audio region is handled a little differently for files that are recorded in the
current session, and those that are imported from an earlier session.
To delete an audio region that you have recorded since opening the project:
m Select the audio region, and press Backspace.
A dialog asks if you also want to erase the corresponding audio file. This saves hard
drive space used by bad takes and unwanted recordings.
To delete an audio recording that was made before the current session:
m Select the audio region, and press Backspace.
This will only remove the audio region from the arrangement, not the audio file (from
the Audio Bin). No dialog appears. This prevents you from accidentally deleting
recordings that may be used in other projects.
If you actually want to delete the corresponding audio file, you can do so by choosing
Audio File > Delete File(s) in the Audio Bin. The deleted audio files remain in the Trash
until you empty the Trash.
