How To Slow Down Audio In Logic Pro X

This is for VARISPEED — perfect for slowing down audio to figure out tricky parts.

To change the tempo of a SAMPLE, in the Inspector panel, click "Flex & Follow" > "Align Bars & Beats."

If your sample's tempo varies (ie it wasn't recorded to a click), you can force it onto the grid using Smart Tempo Settings (click "KEEP" under the Project Tempo), then select "Set Imported Files To" > "On + Align Bars & Beats." Now it'll follow the tempo of the project (select "Flex & Follow" in the Inspector panel if it doesn't).

Excelent! Thank You!

This absolutely destroyed my session. The record light is stuck on, and I can't do anything. Cheers so much.

AWESOME!!! Thanks, man! Don't have to get ASD anymore!!!

Does this apply to vocal lines? Everyone shows instruments but never has someone shown vocal lines to my knowledge.

how do you do this for ONE track lol.. not the all your trakcs

To the point. Thank you very much

Thank you so much!!!

This was a clear explanation. Unfortunately, speeding up your files damages the sound.

Does anybody know how to export the audio at the slowed tempo once you turn on varispeed? When I export, it does so at the original, sped up tempo.

K but how do you slow down just 1 audio file in a simple manner that doesn't require opening an entirely different session and bouncing the tracks??

59 second tutorials - and it works! - yeah!

my song wont play when I try altering speed. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Ok it’s slowing down the audio I’m recording too how do I keep my recording up to pace with the beat now that it’s slowed

sadly as usual it doesn't work.. brand new logic and brand new mini mac.. i was excited about finally having some reasonably profession functionality.. and this would be VERY useful for learning .. but it worked twice and now as soon as I change the number everything goes silent.. typical dysfunctional illogic in my experience unfortunately..

dont work , when you share it out as a mp3 tho

Question: I was able to slow the track down, but every way I export it seems to revert to the original speed. ??

Thanks so much!!! I went back to listen to a guitar recording for my album and it just felt rushed. Now it's a bit more relaxed and still sounds perfect. 🥳

God bless you

Great video- straight to the point!

Great clip Joshua, thanks!

30 something seconds to get the answer. Thank you.

Quick easy and helpful... Thanks bro

even though I have a loop still affects the whole sesh

Best tutorial 9secs in already started

WOW short sweet and to the point. Big thank you I appreciate you sharing your knowledge

THank you man, perfect tutorial video ;)

hi thanks for showing me how to slow tracks down, any idea how to make it so its just 1 channel slowed down? also how to keep it slowed down when you export the track, it speeds back up to normal speen when you export it… cheers.

how do you slow down just one channel or audio region?

thx

great video thanks!

Just THANK YOU !!!

Your tutorial was great and I was able to slow down my entire track without messing up the pitch! Once I go to export the song it only saves as the original speed. I'll take any advice you have, Thank you!!

SICK!!!

Kudos for the Van Halen track choice! Varispeed doesn't seem to work for me though. Once enabled, no audio plays... any ideas?

this slows down the whole beat how do you slow down part of the beat?

NIce! Thanks for making this. Solved my problem!

PERFECT VIDEO. STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!!! TY

thanks!

Wow this is great thanks! Is there a way you know of that slows down and lowers the pitch of the audio as well?

Did not work me. You simply can't hear the audio when you make it any different than zero.

Thanksssss!!!!

Very useful info👍🏽

Joshua, thank you for the concise and short tutorial - you helped me to find what I was looking for!
