I have a problem that might sound trivial to you, and maybe it is, but I can't find a solution: I developed a project with several tracks consisting of MIDI and audio, and I also imported external audio loops which I placed in the project tempo by setting the original loop tempo and the final one etc.... so far so good! The problem is that now that everything is finished, it sounds too slow to me, so I went to the bar and changed the project tempo! Now the MIDI tracks have adjusted themselves, but all the audio parts, even the loops that I had previously cut perfectly, are out of time! Why is this happening? I thought that by increasing the project tempo, everything would increase! Can you help me?

Increasing the global tempo increases everything, I mean audio tracks along with midi ones, if the audio tracks contain tempo information. Otherwise, you have to resort to some tools. Let's say the original tempo was 100 BPM and you want to change everything to 120. You modify the track tempo and realize that an audio track has not adapted to the tempo.

Double-click on the region; at the bottom, the sample editor window opens. Go to Factory -> Time and pitch machine. On the left, enter the starting tempo of your audio track which had remained at 100 BPM, and on the right side, write the tempo you want to bring it to (120). Apply the changes, and Logic will perform its calculations. The tempo will be modified as you expected and the pitch will remain the original one.
