Smart Tempo is Logic Pro's amazing system for making sure all your audio follows your Project's tempo. But you can also use Smart Tempo for beat mapping your Projects!

The 1st example is a piece of cake. But with the 2nd, let me show you how to use Smart Tempo's Hints to fix some beat mapping errors.
