Sampling in Logic 8

New to Logic. Is it possible to create a sample in Logic (i.e from a sound CD-rom), then turn it into an Apple Loop. If not can someone give me a solution.
Also what is the Drag and Drop Sample Kit in Logic. Is that where I place my newly created samples to access then. If so, I how do I get them in there. Thanks

Of course you can sample (LOL). Just import Audio files from CD, mp3 or record something with mics or outboard gear. Logic comes with an onboard sampler (EXS), drag and drop works fine with that, you can also use a lot of 3rd party sampler plugs like NI Kontakt or whatever. Your Audio regions (cut up Audio files) can easily be turned into Apple loops if you want to access your sounds via the loop browser. It´s all very easy an intuitive so no worries...

  • Crafting samples on Logic Pro

    Hello!
    Just bought Logic 7.2 and made the transition from PC Cakewalk/Wavelab -environments into Mac/Logic. Everything is going smoothly, except I'm having big problems in crafting samples on Logic. I'd like to edit samples (.wav, .aiff, etc.) using the great mono/stereo audio effects available in Logic, but for someone used to Wavelab, Logic's Sample Editor seems to be extremely short on options.
    If anyone has the time to answer the following questions, I'd be very grateful.
    - What is the best way of editing samples (or short audio files) on Logic that allows the most versatile use of Logic's audio capabilities, such as audio plugins? Neither the default multitrack display or the Sample Editor seem to be very effective for this purpose.
    - In the Logic environment, how can short audio files be easily lengtened from their original saved form, or silence be added to them? Haven't been able to find this feature yet.
    - If someone wishes to work his own samples, is some other program needed in addition to Logic (or am I just missing some great feature)?
    Thank you!

    1)If u wanna use pllug ins u can edit the waht u wanna in "Real Time" And bounce...
    2) U can double click a region and that will open your sampling editor - there u can make all kinds a altereations - check it out
    3) You can do very limited editing in the arrange window -

    Double click the region to get to the sample editor - there you can stretch the audio or make it shortet with the pitch and time tool - check it out - I would read about the sample editor in the logic manual as u go by and do it
    - If someone wishes to work his own samples, is some other program needed in addition to Logic (or am I just missing some great feature)?
    I use Bias PEAK - it has alot of great features for creating your own samples

  • Why are there missing samples in Logic Express 9

    There are missing samples in Logic Express 9. All the pop horn samples and some of the string samples as well as some others. How do I get them back?

    That is a great suggestion. I DO have garageband installed also. When looking into the library there, I have a Sampler Instruments folder, in that is a few instuments (ie Grand Piano.exs, Hip Hop Kit.exs, Muted Electric Bass.exs, Rock Kit.exs, Steel String Acoustic.exs, Upright Jazz Bass.exs) and ANOTHER Sampler Instruments folder. And in that one, is ANOTHER Sampler Instruments folder, and that one is empty. Not sure if my screen grab will come through for you to see.
    So there is not much sitting in the Garageband Samper Instruments at all. And the mysterious multiple Sampler Instruments folder train.

  • Trouble finding the sampler in logic 8???

    Hello, I'm having trouble finding the esx24 sampler in logic 8. I see videos of people accessing it through the inspector menu on the left side of the screen under "inserts." I've looked several times through here and can't find it. I can't believe that I am already stumped. any help would be great

    nevermind, I found it. thanks

  • How do i use a Multitimbral Sampler with Logic?

    I purchased a third party multiTimbral soft sampler. I did this so i can have 16 tracks in the arrange window, each with it's own midi channel, for use with ONE instance of this softsampler. When i create 16 tracks set to Instrument #1, i need for each of these 16 tracks to have their own unique midi channel.
    As it currently is, if i change the midi channel on one of these tracks, the midi channel changes for all of the tracks assigned to play Instrument #1. If it's not possible to have more than one channel for simultaneous use with instrument 1, then it's not possible to use any multi-timbral instruments. Surely this can't be. Logic is a professional product, for which many third party software vendors make synths and samplers. (many of these, such as the MachFive Sampler, are multitimbral)
    PLEASE don't tell me that i should simply load another instance of the sampler for each desired channel! That would A) be a supreme waste of CPU, and B) it would only allow for 128 channels of midi to ever be used.
    The reason i purchased a third party soft sampler was because i want to have a great deal of sampler and synth channels available. With a multitimbral sampler, I'm able to have 128 channels of sample programs with just 8 instances of the MachFive loaded. This would allow me to have many available instrument slots for use with the various Logic soft synths.
    Is there any way to have 16 seperate tracks in the arrange window, all with different midi channels, and all set to play one Instrument?
    PowerMac G4 dual 1.25 ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   MOTU MachFive SoftSampler

    1: select an instrument channel, go the parameter of the channel then change the midi channel to "ALL"
    2: insert the Multitimbral sampler of your choice ( RMX, hypersonic or what ever) and load the sounds you want onto them
    3: open environment, in the environment parameter it shows AUDIO click hold it and select ALL OBJECT, then go to view and untick "BY TEXT"
    4: connect the GM DEVICE to the channel that has the Multitimbral Sampler on it'll ask Do you want to remove the channels port setting? click remove
    thats it
    Now go to the arrange window and you can use all the 16 midi channels to control one Multitimbral Sampler
    that means midi channel 1 will control what ever sound is loaded in the first slot on the Multitimbral Sampler
    lemme know if there was a mistake along the line, i'm a bit tired gotta help out

  • Connecting samples in Logic 8

    I just rebuilt my system after my main drive crashed and upgraded to Snow Leopard, but I'm still running Logic8 at this point. I have samples on an external drive that are primarily AIF's that I have always been able to access with EXS. Ever since I upgraded and reinstalled Logic I can't connect to those samples. I have tried to do a spotlight search and created an alias of the samples and placed them in the "Sampler Instruments" folder but it still isn't linking.
    I need to get this system up and running ASAP so any help would be great.
    Thanks!

  • 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

  • Why can't I load some samples into Logic's EXS24??

    Hi everyone,
    I am having an issue with loading some of my samples into the EXS24. I am using OSX 10.3.9 and Logic 7.1.0. When I try to load a sample, I can see that it recognizes it, yet when I click on it the sample doesn't load. It doesn't even try to load, It just shows blank dots in the loading window. Can anyone help me with this? I have to have this to work for my job. Thanks so much for the input!
    -Matt

    When you say you are loading a sample, I presume you are not trying to load a sample using the EXS24?
    If you are, you should read the EXS24 manual, because that is not how it works - the EXS24 directly loads "sampler instrument" files only, and it's those that contain references to all the sample files.
    So you open the EXS editor, create a new instrument, load your samples into that, save it, and then select your instrument in the EXS24. Long-winded, but that's how it works.
    Or did you mean something else?

  • Trouble using sound effect samples in Logic 7.2.3

    I'm using a Mac book Pro (10.4.11) and I've got these samples of sound effects (aiff format) that I want to triger with the Ultrabeat plug in. the built in samples that come with Logic (in the loop browser) work just fine. but when I try to load a these other samples, they come in correpted. they just make a white noise sound when I trigger them. Can any one please help.
    Burr

    Hi. As far as I know the aiff files are not in 5.1 surround format. But I don't even know how to check that. Anyway I had success loading them into the EXS plug in sampler and I thought all was good but the next day they were corrupted. I put other samples in in their place and again they were working. But when I shut down and rebooted, they were again corrupted. Any Ideas??

  • Migrating EXS Samples. Logic 6.4 - 8

    Hello.
    I'm transferring my work from and old g4 powerbook to a new intel Macbook Pro.
    I have a lot of unfinished projects on the Powerbook. What is the procedure for transferring my EXS library across?
    If I copy the Sampler Instruments folder over, and the samples themselves, will Logic 8 find them? In fact I have no idea where Logic 8 stores samples for the EXS?
    Just wondering if there is anything I need to know/watch out for...
    thanks

    Turns out I spoke too soon.
    The EXS sampler cannot load the samples I have moved over. It says they are 'not found'. For example I have a drum breaks exs instrument that contains maybe 80 drum loops. When the sampler opens it says it can't find the files, but the name of them seems to have been changed. Random letters and numbers have been added. For example there is a drum break entitled
    AfricanMusic_Machine_-Tropical.wav
    But Logic says it can't find AfricanMusicMachineAEE36.wav
    When I check the sample's name outside of logic it looks ok again.
    Some of the samples load. But very few. If I go to the instrument editor the samples' names are present but they have an explanation mark next to them.
    If I click on the exclamation mark and choose 'Open Audio File', I choose the correct file from my sample library but Logic says 'File name too long'.
    Any help here would be much appreciated. Is there something I'm missing?
    My move from a pb 1.5 to a MBP 2.4 has been totally plagued with problems (not just in Logic) and I'm beginning to wish I'd stayed with a G4 setup. The Trilogy and Atmosphere wrappers are pathetic (I am using them extensively in many an unfinished project)and I can't get Stylus to transfer over in my tracks either. The tracks are bare skeleton versions of what they were, nothing seems to be loading right.
    It's all very frustrating.

  • Any free samples for Logic?

    Hello all! I'm pretty new to logic...switched from Pro Tools and Reason (smart move, as logic is pretty bomb!) However, there were several websites dedicated to trading and downloading Reason samples for free, such as sitar wav. files and drum loops, etc. Is there any such site for logic users? Or, if the files are also compatible with Logic, how do you incorporate them into the sampler? Thanks a million!

Shouldn't there be more than that?
    When you have a separate question from the one that has originally been posted, it's better to start a new topic with it and have people respond to that.

  • Loading Samples Outside Logic

    Greetings,
    I remember seeing a couple of posts where people mention loading their samples in some other program(s) so they can easily switch from song to song without reloading the samples.
    I'd like to do this all on a single machine rather than loading the samples on one machine and triggering them from another (as in a giga setup)
    I'd appreciate any advice on doing this - software recommendations, advantages and pitfalls.
    Thanks,
    MJ

    Presumably, this means running your soft sampler as a stand alone program, or in another host. Then all you have to do is route MIDI to it (using the IAC bus) and route the sampler's audio back into Logic (using Soundflower or equivalent).

  • Sampling in logic

    hi, i just purchased Logic Studio, and must say that i feel extremely overwhelmed, first things first... i had always just assumed that i would be able to sample songs and edit them and input them into a project using Logic the sample editor didnt seem to offer to many options i havent been able to edit a sample yet, any help is appreciated

    i had always just assumed that i would be able to sample songs
    "Sample songs" - yes you can record audio into an audio track, or import audio files into audio tracks.
    and edit them
    Yes you can use Logic's sample editor for basic editing tools such as trimming, lopping, normalising, reversing and so on. For more advanced editing, you can use Soundtrack Pro.
    the sample editor didnt seem to offer to many options
    What options do you want?
    i havent been able to edit a sample yet, any help is appreciated
    What is it you are trying to do?

  • Linking East West Samples w/ Logic?

    I have the East West Symphonic Orchestra Platinum Edition, and would like to use these sounds in Logic Pro 8. How do I do this?
    I've heard that I may have to purchase Kontakt or the full version of Kompakt in order to make this work. Is that true?
    Thanks-

    The East West Libraries, such as Platinum, do not work with the included sample player on Intel machines, such as your Mac Book. You would need to get the latest version of the Kontakt sampler, which will read the East West samples. The good news is, as a registered owner of Platinum, you can buy Kontakt at a discounted price.
    The possible better news is, East West just released "PLAY" for the platinum orchestra, which is their new sample player for Intel machines, and you will probably be able to upgrade for very little money, especially if you just purchased Platinum recently.

  • Sampling in logic pro 8

    What's the best way to sample from old tracks? I've been importing them, then chopping them up manually with the sample editor, then creating a loop. It takes forever. Any ideas?

    You need Logic 9 mate, all the stuffs been made real simple. You can chuck in a loop, cut it up and send it to the sampler all with a few clicks.
