How can you make one track follow the groove of another track?

To make one track follow the groove of another track, marking the leader track as the groove track and enabling this feature is the most effective method. By designating a specific track as the groove track, you allow Logic Pro to analyze the rhythmic and temporal characteristics of that track, including its timing, swing, and overall feel. When this groove track is enabled, segments of the following track can adapt to match the groove, effectively synchronizing their timing to create a unified feel across both tracks.

This capability enhances the musicality of your project, as the following track can exhibit a more cohesive rhythm relative to the groove established by the leader track. It also allows for creative possibilities, as it can give a human touch to the timing of the following track that may be more rigid if adjusted solely through quantization.

In contrast, adjusting the tempo of the following track may not inherently align its feel with the leader track's groove; similarly, while quantization can correct timing discrepancies, it may not capture the nuanced swing or feel that the groove track provides. Setting the glide control could influence pitch bending or sliding but is not directly related to rhythmic synchronization in the context of groove tracking.
