With Automatic mode, Logic Pro automatically chooses Adapt if no tempo reference material is present in the project (or if the metronome off), or chooses Keep mode if there are tracks with tempo reference material present. Use Adapt mode temporarily, when recording the first tracks in your new project. To match the project tempo to your performance while recording, use Adapt or Automatic mode. If you think the Smart Tempo analysis could be more precise, add hints to improve the analysis, edit beat markers, and more in the Smart Tempo Editor. To determine the accuracy of the Smart Tempo analysis, you can turn on the metronome and play your recording back. Trim any silence from the beginning or end of the recording and move the region to the location you want in the timeline.If the project had tracks before this, you might want to choose “Apply Project Tempo to Region,” so the new recording conforms to the tempo of the other tracks in the project.If this is the first track in the project, you might want to choose “Apply region tempo to project tempo,” which will create a tempo map for the project.In the window that appears, choose how you want Smart Tempo to handle the analysis, then click Apply.Click the Free Tempo Recording button again when you’re finished.If your project has other tracks, they’re muted while you record so you can play without thinking about the tempo.
