Logic 8 Sample Editor Problems

I'm having major issues with the sample editor. It's starting to randomly ignore tracks. I have drums tracks that I need to invert and they refuse to show up in the editor. I have 8 tracks in all that are being ignored. I have gone through all kinds of troubleshooting to try to get this to work and I'm stuck. What could be causing this?

Hey Neal,
did those tracks have comps?
did you tryed to flatten the tracks before reverse?
peace,
Jorge

Sample editor problem in logic pro 9

Usually when you select a track in the arrange window, then click sample editor, that audio file would then appear in the sample editor. But say for eg I have edited the 'kick drum' in the sample editor but would then like to edit the 'snare', when I click the snare track, it doesn't appear in the sample editor? instead, the kick drum remains in the sample editor and I can't seem to change what file is in there.
Can anyone help?, its proper frustrating!!

Does Logic's Sample Editor still have bugs ????

because for years the sample editor is been messing up and i've always thought it was my mac...
but on a new mac and still getting the same prblem
Under TIME AND PITCH MACHINE logic will not keep the pitch at the same place where you point unless you hold it down
example: if i change the tempo up by 10bpm, logic will preview it right until i let go off the mouse
even though the numbers and the dot is still showing that its been pitch up
normally it should continue from where ever you last moved the mouse to, you don't need to hold the mouse down through the whole song
is anyone experience this same bug or problem?
stash

anyone at all?
because i've tried three macs and all of em has the same problem

LE 7 sample editor problem

Hi everybody, I want to use the toolbox at the sample editor, but there are only a few tools to use.Has somone an idea how to use the whole toolbox, or is this not possible with that version (LE 7.1)

The available tools for the sample editor are only those you see. Most of the editing that is specialized to the sample editor you would do with the items available from the "functions" menu.

Sample editor / blank screen

Hi,
Just started getting a big white blank screen when opening sample editor.
Open the same audio region 5 times, 4 times blank white screen 5th time - waveform!!
Any clues?
( i tried refresh overview already)

OK, I tracked down the culprit, although I'm not sure if this will help you much.
I ran the fs_usage command from the terminal, ran Logic, opened sample editor, and then poured through the huge text file that was produced. At the moment when I entered the sample editor, there were QuickTime call stalls (which I don't understand) but it gave me a clue.
So, I quit everything, reinstalled QT 7.0.2, reregistered it, and now everything works just fine.
If you're comfortable using terminal, but don't know about fs_usage, you can run it by using:
sudo fs_usage -w > ~/Desktop/myfilename.txt
Then run Logic, open the sample editor, admire the white screen, and close it.
Back to the terminal. Type:
Control-C
Quit everything.
Now open the myfilename.txt file on your desktop. It will be enormous (you thought audio files were big) and start pouring over the text. You come to the part where you opened the sample editor, and you may find something helpful there. It may not be the same problem as me, but it might be instructive and give you a clue.
This command is very helpful in troubleshooting apps, but the file is (a) enormous and (b) esoteric. This may or may not help, but I thought I'd pass my minor success along to you.
Cheers.

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.

Sample Editor (More color please!)

The 'Sample editor' window in Logic has arguably always been it's weak spot. Unfortunately in Logic 8, it seems to have taken a further step back visually, whilst functionally it's feature set has remained stagnant for some time.
As a 'Pro' application, I would expect Logic's sample editor to compete with the likes of Peak, Recycle, Tools etc. All of these editors share great resolution, great visuals (some color!) and some excellent tools.
I'm hoping future updates (?!!) will address this & the various other issues Logic 8 still has - voice your opinions if you feel the same way...

I thought of an even more simple solution to avoid using Logic's sample editor (Logic programmers - hope you're listening!!) :
If you were able to re-size an audio track in the arrange window to fit the whole screen, you would dispense of the need to open a separate sample editor window (or for that matter, a 3rd party Sample editor).
You could even incorporate an additional menu into the arrange page for the destructive & non-destructive functions of the Sample editor (Time-Machine etc.)
The waveforms are (apparently) sample accurate in the arrange window, so I see no reason why this couldn't work in practice. Certainly it would look better (more colourful), and also offer more continuity between the file, the arrangement, & the time-line...
Jus' a thought!

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.

Poor sample editor?

Hi ppl,
i am trying to remove some digital clipping from a track with the sample editor...i am wondering how logics sample editor compares to other programs? what other features are in other sample editors that are missing in logic?
I was thinking that there should be something more than the pencil tool. for example its really hard to draw nice curves with it - shouldn't there be some auto curve/round off peaks function etc? removing clipping must be a pretty common function. you can do curves for automation why not for samples!
anyway just after ppls thoughts...any other good sample editors for os x?
cheers

For declipping/denoising/spectral repair/dehumming/declicking I use iZotope RX - Soundtrack Pro which comes with Logic studio can do basic stuff but doesn't really hit it. Logic's sample editor doesn't offer the sufficient tools for this sort of work.

Logic Sample Editor Functions and Network Home Areas

Hi,
I'm an IT technician at an FE college so do not know much about Logic. We have network home areas (Snow Leopard Server). We have a problem in the music department where students can't access the Sample Editor functions (they are all greyed out apart from Change Gain). Now if I log on as a network user and create a project on the local HD everything is fine. Move that project to my Network Home Area Desktop and the functions are greyed out! I have checked file permissions and the network user has full access to all files in the project in both instances.
Any help much appreciated.
Dom.

Oh. And I thought that you, if anyone, could sort out this issue. Yes, Logic does not like networks at all.

Logic Pro X freezes when I zoom in sample editor

Hello again.
It seems I'm not having luck with logic pro x at all.
When I zoom in the sample editor, after a few successful zooms I get the coloured spinning wheel (of death), my computer freezes and then I have to restart.
I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 and Logic Pro X 10.0.7 on a Macbook pro retina 2.6 GHZ 16GB Ram.
I've reported the bug but does anyone have any ideas? I basically can't edit at the moment and its driving me insane!
Todd

I have had a similar problem since updating to 10.9.4 today! Anytime I undo, Logic displays the spinning beach ball and I am forced to wait between 3 and 10 seconds. This is terrible for productivity.

Logic express 9 can't move samples in sample editor, logic express 9 can't move samples in sample editor

New at logic nine express. Looking at the sample editor where it says I should be able to select part of a sample in the sample editor and move it . Option click does give me the correct icon but can't move the selection. On Macbookpro and logic express 9.1.5, os x 10.5.8

I think I got confused.. and that the instructions were talking about moving the selection, not the underlying wave form... I think I get it now, thanks to me for answering myself

Calling SoundTrack sample editor from inside Logic

Does anyone ever tried to tweak Logic to use SoundTrack as the default sample editor?

Thanx a lot, Fred! Once you know where to look, it's obvious - but I couldn't find nothing in the manual. Yet, the key-command doesn't have a dot: I reckon that function must be available in some menu... But which?
Although the SoundTrack manual has a dedicated chapter on using Soundtrack pro with Apple professional applications, Logic isn't even mentioned... Strange!
Thanks, anyway: it's so cool to be able to jump directly into SoundTrack.
