Sample Edit window - no waveform display

When I have a pretty loaded up song that's stretching the memory I find that if I try to open an audio file in the sample edit window the window is just blank with no waveforms or menues. Re-booting can solve the problem for a while then it returns midway through working on the song. I guess it's just Logic running out of internal memory (I have as much RAM installed as Logic can currently access).
Anyone have any sugestions/solutions? I've done the usual undo history thing and tried to rationalise the memory and am reluctant to start dissing plug-ins/instruments to gain the memory back - "re-organize memory" has no effect.
When this occurs I can continue to load extra plug-ins and open new instruments so the memory isn't totally maxed out but perhaps too loaded to handle the waveform display in the sample edit window.
All other elements work OK when this problem exists.

Key command for playing region in sample edit window... doesn't work?

I'm trying to get the play/stop key commands to behave as they did in L7. I want to use the enter and zero keys on the number pad to start and stop playback in the arrange window. I want to use the space bar ONLY to play back the selected region when I'm in the sample edit window.
(reason being when you're flying back and forth between the two windows, it's all too easy to start the transport in the arrange window, an annoyance when editing individual pieces of audio in the sample editor)
When I assign the space bar to the key command "play/stop region" in the sample edit window, it only plays the entire waveform... i.e. it doesn't play only the highlighted region. This must be a bug. If you click the little speaker icon ("prelisten") in the sample editor, it will play the selected region only, but there's no hot key for this button.
Oddly, the "windows showing audio files" play/stop key command, DOES play only the selected region in the sample edit window, but unfortunately, this key command behaves globally, so if the arrange window is selected, it stops and starts playback there too, which I don't want.
Any ideas (besides a bugfix)?
Thanks...

Hi,
Prelisten is defaulted to ⌥M. You can reassign any keycommand though. See p. 159 of the LP8 User Manual.

Sample edit window Help!

How can I play a selection In the Sample edit window with a key command?
If I hit Space bar (my play/stop key command) it plays from the beginning, but it doesn't play the selection, and it doesn't play even from the playhead.
Any ideas please?

Here's what I'm imagining:
you're using the main arrange window, you have your audio bin open as well as the sample editor. If you don't have the sample window selected, you may triggering from the audio bin. The tab key actually switches windows (within the arrange) and you'll see a subtle hi-lite of the active window.
Maybe that'll help?

Sample Rate Conversion in Sample Edit Window

The option to sample rate convert in the sample edit window appears to have disappeared (was in Logic 7) This enabled destructive editing (sample rate conversion) of a selection of an audio file. There are a number of sound design or problem fixing reasons I have used this feature in the past.
The only option is now to copy, convert and replace the whole file and as this is not destructive if you wanted to apply the same changes to a number of different mixes (saved as different songs) this is now also no longer possible.
Is this feature available on another menu? (Time and Pitch machine will not do the same function)

Hi tslr...
I am thinking that ever since Apple came out with Core Audio architecture they basically put it in every audio app that they had, that said- Apple's buyout of Emagic was most probably where they were able to get allot of the Core Audio architecture from, (there is a memo somewhere about this- quite public knowledge)...
Basically after OS9 and the buyout it was really cool to see parts of logic running around the OS, (Midi preferences etc.)
Then Garageband...
I think what I am trying to say is that this is most probably some functionality that is occuring due to Core Audio Services- not Waveburner- so most probably there is a release note somewhere discussing Sampling Rate Agnostic's. (Actually come to think about it I think it was a new feature of Logic Pro...

Alex
PS: I wouldn't think that it would matter about being in 48 or 44.1- so don't loose sleep over it.

Screenshots & Sample Edit window

Er... I've never set this up properly, but why is it that when I set up a screen shot to open a Sample Editor window it only ever uses the region which I used to set up the screenshot? Or If I didn't use a region it says 'Nothing to Display'. In other words, how do I get the screenshot to open whichever region I've got selected in the arrange? It works for MIDI windows like hyper/score etc (by the way I don't mean floating windows). Cheers!

Patience, patience ... some days I have to work too...
To be honest, I am willing to give it a shot, especially since I have not used the whole screenset feature since I started using Logic, and I want/need to learn that too... so I'll get back to you later today.
ps If anyone else knows the solution to this one, or knows there is no solution, don't hesitate to post.

EXS Sampler Edit Window - pretty please HELP!

When I drag a bunch of audio regions* (kick,snare,hihat) onto the ESX edit window, It spans them across from the C1 key, one note per key. (GREAT! nothing wrong with that!)
But when I drag another bunch of audio regions, It asks which key do you want to start from C1, So I have to click UP,UP,UP,UP. until I get the next free key.
And I keep getting the wrong keys ALOT, Like I'm suppose to know its G#1 or something, just by looking at blank keys???
Is there anyway to have it add to the next free key? Automatically
I've tried dragging to the specific key I want it on (Which was how I did it in Logic7), it doesn't work.
Basically my whole workflow is thrown for a loop!
*audio regions, are multiple chopped sections of 1 audio file, not multiple audio files prechopped in recycle

Yes indeed ,Logic crashes.

You can work with Logic if you don't use that function at the mo,until they fix it.
Which function are you specifically using,and what you'd like to achieve?Maybe there's a different way to do it.
come on apple

Wierd behaviour in Sample Edit

In Logic Pro 8 in the sample edit window logic start cycling from the begining of the region with cycle off. and the only way to get it to stop is to close the window. And then when you open it up it starts cycling again. And btw whats up with no key command to play what you've highlighted in the sample edit window?

Well it turned out my preferences got corrupted, but still whats up with no play selection command in the sample edit window. And who thought it was a good idea to remove the output selector from the edit window and make a prelisten object in the environment?

Multiple Sample Edits

Hi all, was just wondering, is there a quick key to open up multiple regions in seperate sample edit windows. So for instance I select all individual regions on a track, hit the mysterious quick key, they all open in their own sample edit window, I apply my edits.
Any ideas?

Hey LowKey, I am alright, you?
The way I will often do this:
Save regions ( to process ) as audio file
Batch normalize in Peak while I work on something else.
Reopen the song when Peak is done.
Very easy and fast.
If you want to do this manually or have no app with batch processor ( there are many, Sample Manager is great for this work and cheap ) or only have a few edits per track:
Open the sample editor and arrange both visible ( tile windows horizontally )
Go through the arrange window with double click programmed in your mouse
select ( actually double clicking to bring the sample editor to focus ) region after region and press the key for normalize
Left hand then controls the selection, right presses "n" ( here, it is my KC for norm ).
Logic is fast with these edits but you should try a demo version of a batch processing software if you think you may be losing an hour+ every week. They work fast and in the background. I also script this stuff.
You can of course, just double click your way through it and have several documents open, as tedious, but a little different. Logic is versatile, but in a strange way, you are asking it to be something different ( a Sample Editor or Batch processor ) so it requires a little more work.

Does anyone know this Sample Edit function??

Hello,
I recently re-installed 8 on my computer and had to start over with my key commands. I lost one major for me and that was the one in the Sample Edit window when you highlight a section of audio and hit the space bar and it plays from where you highlighted.
Does anyone know what that is or a command for it? I checked in the key commands section under "Sample Edit Window" and tried every possible function and nothing worked.
Thank you for your time,
Anthony Mazza

Go to "Windows showing audio files" in the Key Command window and choose your key command for "Play Stop Selection".

When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

In Logic:
Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number. It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

Open Dialog Box: full file name is not displayed in edit window under Windows 7

Only the last 16 characters of a file name are displayed in the edit window of a Common dialog box under Windows 7. What is the fix to this problem? I am coding in C/C++ and my compiler is Visual Studio 2005.

Hi warengharding624,
Based on your description, your issue is related about C/C++, since this forum is discussing about Windows Forms Controls, and I will move this thread to C++ forum.
In addition,Could you share us what the type of your project is?
Thanks for your understanding.

and client is also not opening fine. Can u elaborate the steps and how can i install successfully siebel 8.1 in windows 7 ?
is it possible please explain me and help me to guide and suggest me
Thanks & Regards
Kiran

Kiran,
Please mention the exact error you are facing. Were the Siebel 8.1 image files created successfully ?
Before we install the Siebel client software on our Microsoft Windows workstations or laptops, we should verify that the following
prerequisites are met:
1.) Database client software is installed (for Developer Web Client only) [Since you dont have the server env. , you dont need to install db client]
2.) The user account for the installation has administrative rights. (user account must be a member of the local Administrators group)
3.) Browser security settings are correct
Once you have created the Image files for Tools,Client and Sample DB , just run the oui.exe for Tools/Client , and install.exe for Sample DB.
During Client installation , one thing to note is , Internet Explorer is launched . Here , the browser loads the predeploy.htm file in the client's bin directory to load
the preconfigured ActiveX controls. When the page displays The download is complete… we can close the browser window , and the installation continues.
For Sample db installation , In the Destination Folder section, click Browse and navigate to the Siebel client installation directory.
(i.e. Client need to be installed before the sample db)

The window title bar displays incorrectly after publishing a flash file. Captivate 4

When I open the .htm file after using the Flash option to publish, the wrong title displays in the title bar at the top of Internet Explorer's window; instead it displays a former file name. I was told that the window name is determined by the field located here: File> Document Info> Project Name; however, this is not the case on my PC. My coworker is able to publish it correctly, but I am not. The first picture below is the IE title bar and the second is where (I think) that title bar pulls from, Project Name. Please notice that mine differ. Any suggestions?

I've run into this issue in CP4 as well though I've never been sure why it happens. It looks like you're opening the swf through a browser to so, for want of a solution, the easiest workaround is the edit the html file.
open it in a text editor such as Notepad.
Five or six lines down you'll find the title element which defines the title as it will display in your browser titlebar: <title>This text is the title that displays in your browser title bar</title>
Just change the text the the title you want and save the html file.
If you go with this solution, I suggest that when you are publishing the project again you deselect the option "Export HTML" in the publish wondow. Otherwise you will have to edit your html file each time you publish.
Hope this helps.
Niamh
