Previewing Sound In Logic!

When working in a higher sample rate. You can't really preview your audio like in protools. Why is this? The audio is gonna be really sped up due to old Sample Rate. is there a way to listen to preview converted to whatever sample rate your working, meaning that... it let's you hear what it sounds like at it's original?

You can always preview sounds in Finder: select audio file(s), press Space, and then navigate using arrow keys if you want to preview multiple files.

How to use pianoteq sounds in logic pro?

How to use pianoteq sounds in logic pro? I've got an iMac 3.6 Ghz., intel core i5, OS 10.8.5. I want to be able to use my Bluthner piano sound (which is an add-on in pianoteq) in Logic Pro X (10.0.4).
Thanks,
Peter.

Hi
Try this in a new empty project:
In the New Tracks box select a software instrument track, and un-check the Open Library box
You will see a track plus the channel in the Mixer
Click on the Input "Inst" button, and you will see a menu like this
Correctly installed 3rd party 64bit AU plugins will be in the AU Instruments sub-menu.

What guitar distortion do you guys recommend if I want to get a Jimmy Eat World sound in Logic Pro?

I am looking for a nice Alternative Rock sound comparable to the likes of Jimmy Eat World, saosin, etc... Looking for this sound in Logic pro and just need help. Any answers?

You are better off getting a dedicated gaming box for gaming than using a Mac for heavy gaming.
Unless you go with a top of the line iMac with just about all of the optional components, Macs do not make great heavy gaming machines. Plus, a gaming box is sooo much cheaper than a Mac for gaming.
For using Logic, I would just go for the 21 inch screen iMac and get it with the optional full 16 GBs of RAM and optional i7 CPU and, if you can afford all of the options, get this iMac with the optional Fusion drive, too!
The combination SSD and hard drive in the fusion drive will help make up for the slower 5400 RPM drives that they are putting into only the 21 inch screen models.
With this configuration, this iMac would last you, at least, 5 years.

How to preview sound without previewing all ?

You can set a work area to RAM preview only a specific are. That is also in After Effects Help.

Nautilus doesn't preview sound files

Hi everyone.
Why "preview sound files" isn't working in Gnome 2.12.2? Do you know if I need some add-on?
Thanks in advance.

First make sure esd is installed
pacman -S esd
, and make sure esd is running on startup ( Desktop -> Preferences -> Multimedia system selector (if it doesn't exist look for something with multimedia or sound, i have Gnome 2.14 and those things have changed AFAIK) -> Check "turn on sound"
now install mpg321
pacman -S mpg321
Now logout/login (or reboot) and it should work

Where can I find good organ and keyboard sounds for Logic Express?

Where can I find good organ and keyboard sounds for Logic Express? The included sounds seem to be lacking or hard to access.

Update: Not terribly impressed with the interface for NI's Vintage Organs from the demo download, although the sound demos sure sound good. The letters are tiny and hard to read and the whole thing feels very PC-centric. I guess a guy gets spoiled by the intuitive stuff. I think what I'll try for now is just hooking up my keyboard (Korg N1, circa 1998, about 1700 built in sounds) as a sound module and record the waveforms when I find a sound I like. I did find the EXS24 and several other software synths with some cool organ sounds after digging a little deeper. It would be good if Apple came out with another jam pack just for organs and keys, as the existing jam packs are so easy to use.

Trying to get this "One" sound with Logic pro 8

Hi everyone i spent like 2 hours last night trying to get this sound with Logic Pro 8 soft synths trying to find a sound exactly like or close to this sound: http://home.comcast.net/~tommykry/Weezer%20-%20Troublemaker.mp3
The sound can be heard at 00:19 and through out the song, its like a low bass synth kind of sound that drifts down when its hit, like a portamento kind of thing. In live weezer videos the bass player is hitting a pad on a keyboard so i know its a key sound not a bass guitar slide. ive heard this sound in trance and techno songs as well. I have Sonar 8 and pro tools 8 as well and can look there if i have too, also have an Access viress Ti, But im trying to do this all in Logic. Like i said i played around for like more than 2 hours going through most of all the Logic synths, patch after patch trying to find something close i could tweak, so if anyone has more experience with The Soft synths in Logic Pro 8 and can steer me in the right direction i would be greatful.
Thanks
Tommy

In live weezer videos the bass player is hitting a pad on a keyboard so i know its a key sound not a bass guitar slide.
He could just be triggering a bass slide sample...
It's some kind of bass sound that bends down, in a similar style to what a bass player might do. Whether it's a real bass or a synth is difficult to say (and probably doesn't matter a great deal), but in any case it's certainly compressed, and grunged up dirty with some amp sim or distortion...
Try that route...

This will let you make a DVD-Audio disc in Mac. It's free. It is command line only, and not for non-savy computer users.
There are other commerical programs out there that make DVD-Audio discs. Search google for DVD-Audio OS X. These programs cost $100+

You can change the amount of audio that is rendered for previews, which can be useful if you're running into memory problems.
The amount of audio that is rendered for previews is specified by the Duration setting in the Previews preferences.

Using quicktime sounds in logic

I am new to macs and logic express. I have many midi files that I used with power tracks pro as a windows user. I want to use my old midi files but with the basic midi sounds. I followed the many step by step directions on how to set up quicktime sounds in logic express 8 but I can't seem to figure out how to select them for my track.
For example, right now I have a trumpet track that is being played using the jam pack symphony sound "trumpet section". How can I change this to use the general midi sound "trumpet" from the quicktime synth?
PLEASE HELP!

Hey Data,
Hollow is the best way I can describe it like it's playing thru a long tube. It's a new I mac so wave burner is untouched. I usually do all my mixing in my studio mac pro. But I got the I mac so I figured let me try to mix and master on it. Sounded great until I dragged it into wave burner. Apogee duet, yamaha HS50m's near field. Thanks Bill

Missing Sounds in Logic 8

Very peculiar happenings in the world of Logic today.
Sounds which were there before have stopped working, or playing different sounds. e.g. Strings play piano.
I haven't mucked with anything - it sounds to me like preferences or library issues?
Is there anyway to update logics library, without completely reinstalling?

Right - reinstalled Logic and realised it was not only Logics library which was screwed, it was garageband too! Much strangeness!
Very sure that this is the snow leopard upgrade's doing!
Logic is now showing two libraries for garageband - ?
Any ideas or input would be much appreciated.

How Can I Get An Analog Sound From Logic's Plug-In's?

Hi all,
I'm working on an 80's New Wave influenced project, for which Logic has many plug-in's -- unfortunately most all of them have a distinctly digital clean sound to them.
What are some ways (filters, compressors, etc?) that I can alter some of these sounds to sound more like they did on 80's analog recordings?

Well, 80's New Wave music was known for lots of things, but clean analog sound wasn't necessarily one of'em in my opinion.
The 80's was the first "digital decade", and as all the new toys showed up musicians everywhere went wild using and abusing them. Hence the 80's proliferation of digital reverb, gated drums, drum machines, buzzy synths and grainy samples.
I'd say that sound would be best approximated with Logic's Silver or Platinum verb, or Space Designer with some old Lexicon patches... And maybe the 'bit reduction distortion' plug, whatever it's called (in the distortion directory).
Are we talking Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson "New Wave", or Duran Duran, Thomas Dolby, Human League kinda new wave? There were lots of variations... But again, the over-use of digital effects and synthetic elements is what generally what makes the 80's sound like the 80's.
(at least, that's the way I remember it.... I'm still mad at the guy who convinced me to sell my Jupiter 8 coz that "buzzy" sound was dead now that DX7's had the 'clean digital sound of the future'. !!!)

Movie with Sound in Logic

I have a .mov file. I know how to open it in logic to do sound design work. Is there any way to open it in Logic and import the existing embedded sound without using Soundtrack Pro?

Sure - import the movie - go to the Options menue - choose "import Audio from movie" - done.

How to get a good vocal sound with Logic Pro 9

I apologize for the ignorance of this question, but I am really looking to figure out a way to get my vocals to sound the way I would like them to sound, but I'm not really sure where to start.
I started out using Garageband years ago, and really like the vocal setting of "Live Performance" when I went to real instrument/vocal. It had a sound that I liked, and I didn't have to go to a lot work to achieve it. When I went to Logic Pro 9 a while back I saw that they had the Garageband setting of Live Performance, but it really didn't sound the same, so I ended up starting songs in Garageband, and then importing them into Logic Pro.
I would really like to move on and be able to set up vocals from scratch, and put in different inserts and play around with different sounds to experiment with for vocals. Does anyone have any advice on learning inserts to use, and perhaps a tutorial video they might suggest that could help educate me on this?
I don't even know if you should start with Compressor, then Chan EQ. Perhaps someone might be able to steer me in the right direction. Thanks so much.

Klunde, you are missing out the most vital parts in your post. A vocal chain for recording is:
You (your voice) - Microphone - Mic Pre - (perhaps hardware compressor, perhaps not) - (perhaps hardware eq, perhaps not) - then finally what you are recording into.
The source is the single biggest influence on what you need to do in the mix regardless of what you are recording into. In our case here, it happens to be Logic. My own vocal chain changes depending on what i am aiming to achieve and this carries through to the mix. On one song I may use a blue face 1176 plugin if required and on another a CL1B etc. Both sound great but both sound different and there are a myriad of ways to use each one. The same goes for EQ's and reverbs. But what you need for all of this is a great source. Get this right and your mixes and decisions will be a lot easier and your desired results faster to achieve.
So what is your source for your vocals?
After this it is all down to taste. For example, a compressor going into an eq sounds different from an eq going into a compressor. Neither one is right or wrong. Experience and experimentation will tell you which you want to use for a particular song. Top mixer Chris Lord-Alge uses lots of compression on everything. Top mixer Bruce Swedien is notorious for using virtually none. Both consistently mix great records and both have spent a life time honing their art and skill set. Experiment but get your recording chain right which means choosing the right kit for your vocal and gain staging everything properly.

Is it Possible to Preview Sound While Scrubbing the Timeline Using Hotkeys?

If I have a sound in my timeline, I can scrub through the timeline by dragging the red box and it will preview the sound that plays on every frame. However, I have hotkeys set to scrub through my timeline (, & .), and when I use them, the sound does not in fact preview. Is there a way to set up my hotkeys so the sound will in fact preview?

Hello,
I don't believe there is a way to view images in the files
panel.
However, there's a quick way to see them if you're using
Windows.
Select your image folder in the Files Panel.
Right click and choose "Explore".
It opens a window where you can see all the images in that
folder.
It's much faster than scrolling through the assets, clicking
the file names
and reading the paths to know where they are.
This is very handy whether you have image folders in
different directories
(for organization and cleaner img src paths in the pages
within the
directory) or if you just dump them all in a folder in the
root.
On my wishlist: Hover over the image name in the files panel
and a small
box, like a tool tip, displays the image.
Maybe someday.
Take care,
Tim
