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

"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.

Unlocking file in sample editor

After recording an audio file, I have attempted to go into the sample editor to make some alterations to the recording. After highlighting the area and pressing delete I get a pop-up message that says: "This audio file cannot be changed! Volume or file is locked."
Any ideas of what I may have done to make this happen? How do I unlock that file?
This just started happening, no idea what I may have changed, but I have never had this problem arise previously.
Thanks.

Yeah, I feel the pain. This has happened to me for no reason. The way out is to revert to a session back up. I don't know if it's one of those corrupted files issues or a preference issue or whatever. I have also tried changing permissions on the files and all that fun stuff with no results. Again, use a session backup.

Get currently opened file in code editor

Hi,
I am writing an extension for Oracle Jdeveloper. I have created a view and now I need to access the currently opened file in the code editor. However, all I get is the context of my own view:
Context.newIdeContext(this);
But how can I get the Code Editor and its currently opened file? Any ideas?

Michael

There are a couple of blog posts that may help you out with this.

Open file with system editor..

Hello,
I have a File (any kind of file) inside a java desktop application (swing) , and I want to open it with the appropriate system editor just like Eclipse does (right click on file | open with system editor).
Could you provide sample java code doing that ? (I know it's not easy and haven't found much googling).
Would that code be portable ?
thanks a lot !

Hai,
Yeah, that true Desktop is available on Java 1.6. These Desktop class is derived from jdic.jar, which u can find by googling. It contains APIs and examples for opening a file with the system editor. Dowload the jar file add to classpath use it, thats all. Refer to the examples.

Application to open files from sample pack

Just bought a sample pack (not jam pack) and some of the wav files have suffixes like .asd, .exs, .nki, .sfz, .sxt. computer asks me to choose an application to open them but there doesn't seem to be anything. can anyone help?

Enable Sharing on one (or both) of the machines by selecting the menu item " > System Preferences" then select the "Sharing" pane:
Then enable "File Sharing":
Set the name of the machine on the network in the text box (In my example "Proton"). Note this name will replace the text <NAME of MACHINE> later in this post.
you can the connect to the machine you just configured from the other by using the menu item
"Go > Connect to server..." (or <CMD>+k)
then type in the name of the other machine as follows:
"afp://<NAME of MACHINE>"
You will be prompted for a login name and password as configured in the Sharing Preferences.
I hope this gets you started.

Strangeness in Sample Editor / Arrange

I have an audio file (aif) in my bin. I drag it to the arrange page. It plays fine. I can make edits, create regions, everything one could want. I double click on the region and the Sample Editor opens but with the wrong file - something I had open before. So ok, I figure I'm a reasonable guy, I can adjust, adapt, make changes - so I delete the wrong file from my bin and try again. I click on the aif in the arrange window - the correct file - and the Sample Editor opens and says - Nothing to Display.
I tried moving it to a different track. Still no good. I'd sure like to normalize this file but it won't open in the Sample Editor.
Any ideas, ye comrades of the logic discussion?
Cheers,
MJ

Hate that bug! ...or should I say those bug variations:
wrong region displayed
"nothing to display" message
wacky timeline displayed
What works for me:
1. Quickly toggle the sample editor in Arrange open/closed/open a few times.
2. Quickly change screensets a few times.
3. Open the region in the "big" sample editor (Window>Sample Editor) then switch back to the "small" one in Arrange. (Or stay in the big one if it fixed it)
4. Open a new Arrange window (Window>Arrange) and close the old Arrange window then open the sample editor in your new Arrange window.
Don't close the wacky Arrange window until you've opened a new one or Logic will think you want to quit.
No rhyme or reason as to which method may work for any of the bug variations
See if any of these help.

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!

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.

How to make a file to be opened in PL-SQL Editor of SQL Developer

How to open a package file (.pkg) in sql Developer's PL-SQL Editor?
Tried creating a new file type with Extension as .pkg and file type as PlSqlNode.
Could open the file and found some of the features of plsql editor, such as find, compile... but could not differentiate the font colors.
How should we go about in having the file opened with different font colors (for identifier, builtin....?
Thanks.
K.Nataraja Suthan,

I guess you're running into another known bug in this file-based battlefield.
Opening files won't colour the code until having opened some code from the DB first. Can you try that?
On a sidenote, I've had really bad experiences with external files (both compiling to DB and saving to file incorrectly, not showing errors, etc.). In the end the only safe thing to do is work directly on the DB, saving your progress now and then to file.
Regards,
K.

Open file in a default editor

Can any one tell me how can i get to know what is the default editor for a particular PC
Is there any way to know what is the default editor ??
can JEditorPane be helpful..
The following is the code where i pass "winword" or "notepad" (which is hard coded)in the parameter ... to open the file in that editor.. i m using JFileChooser..
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("WINWORD "+chooser.getSelectedFile().getName());
i want the system to first get what the default editor is ..and then open a file in that editor
can any one pleaseeeeee help me
i would be thankful...

hi,
I do know how to open it with notepad:try
String cmd = "Notepad " + filename;
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace ();
}It is possible to open it with the standard texteditor, certainly by retrieving it from the windows registry. Perhaps there is a routine for it like for Internet Explorer but that I don't know.
greetz,
Stijn
P.S. to test these commands you can go to start > run, enter notepad (or any other command) and click OK

Aperture 3.5 does not open all files in external editor (PS CS6)

When I select several photos in Aperture (which are parts of a panorama serie for example) and click choose to open them in the external editor (here Adobe Photoshop CS6), only a random subset are opened.
Aperture warns me if I want the (for example) 14 pictures to be exported for edition, I confirm, but I end up with only (for example) 9 photos in Photoshop. The missing ones can be any photos (not necessarily the first or latest).
Note that 9 is not an upper limit, I once opened 23 photos and only had 21 in Photoshop opened.
If I again select those same photos and choose to export them (either as PSD using the same format as with the Editor command, or asking for the original that was created for the external editor) to a folder. Then when I open all the photos at once form the finder (or Bridge) to Photoshop, I have all the photos in Photoshop. So Photoshop has no problem opening the files.
Do you have the problem too? How do you solve it?
For the time being I manually export the files, open them from the Finder, stitch them in PS and reimport the result in Aperture.
A bit tedious... If there is no work around, I will try to fiddle with some automation...
Final note:
PS CS6, Aperture and OS X are all at there latest respective versions (i-e respectively: 13.0.6, 3.5.1 and 10.9.2)

I was just noticing this issue with A2.0.1
Selecting multiple files in A2, only one would open in Photoshop.
I have found that, if when opening files from Aperture, the color setting profile in PS is different than the color tag in the image, such as sRGB vs aRGB, the mismatch warning appears and stops subsequent photos opening.
If the image profile matches the color settings in PS, then all selected photos open from Aperture to PS.

An attempt to open a pdf file with Photoshop Elements (version 12) resulted in a pop generated by the Photoshop Editor stated "Impossible to execute this operation (opening file) because one of the specified colour is not managed". Is there any mean to ad

An attempt to open a pdf file with Photoshop Elements (version 12) resulted in a pop generated by the Photoshop Editor stated "Impossible to execute this operation (opening file) because one of the specified colour is not managed". Is there any mean to adapt the file to make its reading possible?
Did somebody get the same problem?

It is a high order probability that your SQL's report generator is creating the PDF, not Acrobat (which by design and EULA cannot be used in as/with server).
That the report generator outputs to an old-old version of PDF bears this out.
Wiki articles on PDF are very nice for those high level intro summaries.
To know / understand PDF you purchase and study the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1:2008).
Rather than "PDF validation" you may want to consider addressing the appearent root cause of the problem(s).
You can change the email2fax application to one that can deal with older PDF versions.
You can change the report generator to one that can output to the ISO Standard.
(Perhaps the in-use application can be configured to output to the current version of PDF (i.e., the ISO Standard).
Be well...

Sample editor display jumps to file begin on zoom with large files

Hey - does anyone else have this problem:
When I zoom in to the max possible zoom level in the sample editor in Logic (eg to edit single samples with the pencil), in any audio file longer than 12:41, the waveform display suddenly jumps to very beginning of the file.
It happens using either the zoom-in key, zoom slider or zoom tool. It is somewhat infuriating because I have to guess when to stop pressing zoom-in to get as close as i can without triggering the jump. (If i go one zoom level too far, I have to go back, zoom out and re-find my place and try again.)
I did some investigation and the bug in zoom behavior starts happening with audio files a little shy of 12 min 41 sec ( 12:40.871ms to be more exact).
Here are the results in "length in samples" of a test audio file (AIFF 24-bit Stereo, 44100Hz):
33554453 samples and greater => sample editor jumps to beginning when zoomed in to max
33554432 - 33554452 samples => sample editor jumps to END of file when zoomed to max (bizarre, eh? a 20-sample window in which the bug works in the OPPOSITE direction!)
33554431 samples and less => sample editor zoom is normal and zooms in perfectly to the proper location at max zoom.
I also tested other things like trashing my logic prefs and starting from an empty song with nothing in it - none of which make any difference. This bug is present in Logic 8.0.2 on both my Macbook Pro with OS X 10.5.7 and my Powerbook G4 with 10.4.11
Maybe time to report this to apple - can anyone corroborate by just continually pressing your zoom-in key with the cursor in the middle of an audio file longer than 12:41 and see if the display jumps to the beginning?
Thanks!

bump?

Problem opening a sheet music file on Script Editor

I have sone sheet music files but when I try to open them I get an error message saying that the dictionary of the extension or application is not scriptable and then I get another message saying that the Script Editor cannot open files in the Script Editor Document format. I have no idea what that means. I think they're MUS files, if that helps at all. Thanks.

Hi tracy,
This forum is for discussion qnd questions regarding Apple's productivity application AppleWorks.
Your question will have a better chance of a knowledgeable response in one of the other forums on this site, or on a forum elsewhere for the application that was used to create these files.
The filename extension .mus is usually a Finale Music Score, created by one of the Finale Music family of applications. You can find out more about Finale using the link in this post.
