How to unset External Sample Editor?

How do I unset External Sample Editor (and switch back to logics default sample editor)...?????

Assign it in the preferences, set a location in your apps folder, STP is selecetd by default. Hit shift+w with an Audio region selected to open the audio in the assigned app.

  • "Open in external sample editor" seems to be broken?

    Hey all,
    I'm hoping that someone can help me figure this out. I'm using Logic Pro X 10.0.7 in conjunction with Adobe Audition CS6. This problem seems to happen intermittently, and on some of my machines, but not others. I've also witnessed it on others' machines as well.
    When I try to open a region of audio in the external sample editor (For which I've set up Adobe Audtion CS6 to do destructive edits), I can manage to get the file to open correctly in Audition. HOWEVER, when I make my edits in audition and try to SAVE the file in Audition to send it back to Logic Pro X, I get an error message that the file cannot be saved because it is "in use by another application". It's almost as if Logic doesn't release the file to the external sample editor in order for it to be overwritten, and updated.
    When I switch back to Logic, after I get the error message, Logic "refreshes" the waveform information, but it's still unchanged, because the external sample editor can't save the changes that I've made to the region. Can anyone relate? Offer me useful tips on how to fix this? Is it a bad configuration on my end, or just a bug in Logic?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Ok so I think I might have figured this out on my own... Apparently, if you highlight a region, and the region is open in Logic's Editor window, while you're trying to edit the region with an external editor like Audition, it will throw the "file is in use by another application" error, when you try to save the changes you've made in the external editor. I found that if I close the "Editor" window in Logic, before trying to open the region in Audition, Audition is then able to save the changes to the file.
    Derp.

  • External sample editor

    how do I open an audio file from logic in an external sample editor? I know you can do it, but can't find in the manual how you do this or how to set what the default sample editor is when you open the file in the external editor
    Thanks

    There is a key command Search:
    "external"
    in the KC window. Assign it. 1st time you use it you will gett a prompt to select the app.

  • Playback speed in Sample Editor window many, many times faster than track (at correct speed) in arrange area. How do I sync Sample Editor playback speed to correct speed/tempo in arrange area? Track is spoken word.

    Playback speed in Sample Editor window many, many times faster than track (at correct speed) in arrange area. How do I sync Sample Editor playback speed to correct speed/tempo in arrange area? Track is spoken word. Sample Editor playback sounds like Alvin on a meth binge. Spoken phrase is generated from Textspeech. Textspeech can export files as WAV files or MP3 files. Perhaps a clue?:   When exported Textspeech WAV file is dragged and dropped into track in arrange area of new project, it exhibits same supersonic speed. When Textspeech file is exported as MP3 file and dragged and dropped in arrange area track, it plays at correct speed.

    Thanks Erik,
    If nothing else, this huge list of updates and fixes, shows clearly that the Logic Dev team is working hard on fixing and improving LPX to a major degree.... and from the list of fixes done.. show they do read the bug reports submitted!
    As an aside....
    I recall how all the 'naysayers' prior to LPX (and in some cases, since...)  were proclaiming how Logic was dead, the team was being disbanded, we won't see any further development, the Dev team doesn't listen or care... and so on....... I wonder where those people are now?

  • External Sample Editor Broken

    "To transfer audio edited in the external sample editor back to Logic Pro
    Save the file in the external sample editor, then switch back to Logic Pro.
    The edited audio will be updated in the Audio Bin and Arrange area, if regions based on the audio file are in use. "
    This USED to be true but no longer
    I'm using Melodyne Single Track and instead of updating the relevant file in the arrange window I'm having to 'reimport' the tuned file.

  • Trying to get 'External Sample Editor' working.

    Hello,
    I cannot find anything in the manual about changing preferences as to what editor you are using. I found the key command and tried to get DP as my external but once I saw that wasn't going to work I couldn't find any possible way to change my choice of editor. There seems to be no preference or menu that would let you pick a new one. Is my only choice to complete trash prefs and rebuild everything? Not a huge ordeal but tedious none the less.
    Chris

    It's a lot easier than that.
    On my system there is an alias :
    ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/External Sample Editor
    You could try removing the file from it's location or going about the 'select new original method.

  • STPro as Logics sample editor.

    I like to use STPro as Logics sample editor in certain cases. However, one thing has me stumped.
    Does anyone know how to get STPro to show up the sample in beats, when I (launch external sample editor' in LogicPro?
    I have the preferences set to show 'Beats' in new documents, but it always defaults to min:secs....
    Anyone have any ideas...? I would love to be able to edit accurately in beat mode.

    The beat option only seems to be available from the multi-track vantage point. For instance you can't add a beat marker in the sample editor - the tool is greyed out - and if you've set some b-markers in the multi-track view, they're not visible any longer in the editor view. And yes, this drastically limits the usefulness of SoundTrack when setting up audio loops for example, and, of course, this is not discussed in the manual.

  • How can I change the default program for the external applications editor?

    I have read the on line directions for this and it reads "select a file type in the left pane."   I do not see where this is in the left pane.  All I see in the left pane is "Browser start pages" and a "How do I " Pane.  Nothing with file types.

  • How do you save sample regions in the EXS24 instrument editor?

    Hi There, I don't if my memory has failed me or something was changed in Logic pro 9 but I can't get a EXS24 instrument to save the sample region sections I set?? I open EXS24 click on edit, click on load zone, load a sample, click on edit in sample editor, set the region and then the new region doesn't set inside the EXS24 sample editor window? Tried saving the instrument, but it doesn't up date the selection? It just keeps the entire waveform as the sample? What am I doing wrong here? In the past this was really simple, you just moved the region on the sample area you want and the sample begin and end setting automatically update inside the EXS24 instrument editor window and then you just saved the instrument and each piece of the audio file as and how you set it was then on your keyboard ready to be used. Can anyone help me out here?
    Thanks

    Got it to work, seems I had to resave the audio file again... weird glitch...

  • How Can I Change The Sample Editor's Audio Output Channel?

    Hey, new to logic, im using a Motu 828mk3 interface,
    The Sample Editor is playing out on differnt outputs(1-2)
    on my interface than my audio tracks in the arrange window,
    my audio tracks are assigned to out 9-10 in the mixer section
    which are the Main outputs on my interface, How can I change the
    audio output of the Sample Editor to play out of my interface's main outputs(9-10)?

    Change the output of the Prelisten mixer channel to the outputs you want it to play from. The prelisten channel is used for the sample editor and the Apple loop previews... you'll find it in your mixer somewhere in the high audio channel numbers...

  • How to get rid of prompts in Sample Editor ?

    Hi everybody !
    Question : Is it possible to edit in sample editor without prompts ? I just want to delete, delete, delete...
    God bless this forum.

    Thank U, Phillip !
    The problem is that it just doesn't do anything in my
    case...
    A BUG ? I reinstalled Logic, and had no success.
    Did anybody encounter same bug ?
    This is not a bug. In the Sample editor,
    if you just hit the delete key, you will always
    get a dialog box. BUT if you use the
    key command
    "control>delete",
    "no dialog box"!
    a definite time saver. There are so many key
    commands that it can be a little overwhelming.
    Just check them out sometime. You might
    find something you would use alot.

  • File appears different in arrange window and sample editor

    I received a few AIFF files from someone Im working with: 24 bit, 44.1, same as I use. However, although they show up fine in the sample editor, in the arrange window they look clipped, as if they've been recorded too loud. This is making them very hard to edit. I've tried refreshing the overview in the sample editor, but with no success. Has anyone got any tips?

    Does the file appear distorted visually, or does it also sound distorted?
    In arrange, between the *Horizontal Zoom Slider* and the *Horizontal scroll arrows* you'll see a Waveform button with which you can adjust how "fat" the waveform is displayed. Clicking toggles it between the last setting and fully zoomed out. Clickhold to let the slider pop up.

  • Open file in sample editor

    Hey forum,
    This is probably a super noob question, but I have a clip of a 7 bar guitar line that I want to open in the sample editor so I can reverse it. I know the default is to double-click it, but it has the arrow on the left side and when I double click it, it pulls down the only take that I did of that section (instead of opening in sample editor). I want to know how to do this for other clips with more than one take as well.
    So basically, how do I open a snippet in sample editor without double clicking on it?
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Hey Jorge.
    Thanks for the suggestion. I've actually had to re-install the bug ridden 8.0.0 version to get it to work. Never thought i'd be saying that
    I haven't updated it yet as i need to get some work done before i waste another day trying to sort out mysterious errors.
    Thanks anyway

  • Sample editor audition button goes silent when any track is solo'd

    I've discovered that if a track in the arrange window (and others, I think) is in solo mode, it seems to override the audio audition function when I open the sample editor. This seems to be some poor heirarchical design to me because it forces me to go back to the arrange window (bye-bye sample editor!), find the solo'd track, unsolo it, move the window to hunt for the sample editor, or open another sample editor window from the track I was originally working on. A complete nuisance. Shouldn't the sample editor have priority?
    Also, the solo tool is basically worthless right now because it never starts playing at the point I click on in a region. Completely inaccurate. You certainly can't zero in on any critical audio editing with this clumsy feature. Maybe it has to do with sluggish performance due to buffer setting issues??? It's a far cry from Digital Performer, where you simply highlighted a section of a region ("soundbite" in DP) and it instantly played back as soon as you let go of the mouse regardless of any solo assignments per tracks. Plus it was dead accurate. I spent the extra 700 mammies upgrading to Logic Pro mainly for the precious "marquee tool" which does s##t in terms of selecting and copying (it splits the region after you copy a selection, then you have to undo the split). Whoops, I'm ranting. Just can't believe the agony of audio editing in this beast of a program...

    Excellent! I can't imagine how you discovered that...
    The little "1" in the parameters indicates which audio channel the sample editor plays through - you can change it to anything, but this is not saved in a song (annoyingly enough), so whilst for most people it would be more convenient to set it to track 128 or something, we have to leave it at 1 and reserve that channel for the sample editor, or keep changing it all the time.
    So it's mostly understanding of how Logic works that gets you these steps, and that comes form trial and error, experience, exploration, manual reading, and asking other people...
    Could you describe the key command set-up you mention here?
    Everyone of us here will have different requirements and workflows - I strongly recommend digging through the key commands window to see what useful things lay in store. Some things I use frequently others may have a different way of achieving, and some commands I never use are absolutely essential for others.
    The beauty and the achilles heel of Logic is that it is so configurable - great for power users, but often it leaves new users confused as they simply don't know enough to set themselves up efficiently.
    But key to efficient working with Logic are selection, navigation, zooming, screensets, linked windows (especially editor windows) and personalised key commands and autoload songs. So do explore those tools and see what they have to offer.
    The tip I mentioned here doesn't help you particularly, but there are loads of key commands that will - I'd suggest starting a separate thread with just this issue and ask how others here would handle it - you might be suprised how many different answers you get - many ways to skin the same cat in Logic
    But the audio editing in Logic still seems much more tedious than DP
    It's also tricky to make these kind of judgements when you aren't too familiar with things - you may be right on the money, but you also may just not know key concepts and workflow tips that make things much easier.
    There are plenty of new users who post along the lines of "Logic is cr.ap because..." and within a few posts it's abundantly clear that they just simply don't have a clue - I'm not implying that about you at all - I'm just simply saying that it takes time to build up workflows and explore the small little things that make or break an efficient workflow.
    So I'm not saying you're wrong, but from your posts I would also guess that there's still a lot about Logic you're not on top of that could probably make you life a lot easier - so hang around here, and hopefully you should improve some workflow habits fairly quickly...
    I hope that's been of some help. It's so much better when people control the rants, calm down, and start learning...!

  • Sample editor problem
