If you\u2019re human, you\u2019re not perfect. But that\u2019s okay. Robots are, and they work for us — at least for the time being. When you lay down recording of your<\/a> otherwise excellent guitar playing, you\u2019ll notice that timing and pitch isn\u2019t perfect – even after you\u2019ve tuned with your Roadie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Roadie<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes that can work in your favor, other times it can ruin a song. You could always record the part again, but that\u2019s not always an option. So let\u2019s have a look at how you can fix timing and pitch in my weapon of choice: Logic Pro X.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Logic Pro X?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m not paid by Apple<\/a> to promote Logic, it\u2019s just a great DAW (digital audio workstation). Like many bedroom musicians<\/a>, I started out with Fruity Loops. But then I grew up and realized no one takes Fruity Loops seriously. Don\u2019t believe me? Then why did they re-brand to <\/span>FL Studio<\/span><\/a>? To sound like a serious DAW that people use (spoiler: <\/span>they don\u2019t<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n

Then I moved on to <\/span>Reason<\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s a neat little DAW that gearheads will love, because all the plugins look like an actual hardware rack. But I had to buy a separate piece of software just to record audio, so out the window Reason went. <\/span>Pro Tools<\/span><\/a> is a cool DAW, but again you had to buy a separate piece of hardware back in the day. No thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Logic Pro X Flex Time<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Flex Time in Logic does what it says on the can. It allows you to stretch and contract audio files so you can synchronize them with the rest of the tracks. It\u2019s very handy for when you want to correct recording mistakes or just polish an otherwise good recording. Check out this video to see how it\u2019s done — and then I\u2019ll show you a little shortcut afterwards:<\/span><\/p>\n\n
