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.

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.

John, the thread you mentioned now seems to have a solution to the problem
it worked on my system.

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?

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

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.

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".

Edit window not available in EXS24

I'm working with Logic Pro X and am trying to import some kick samples into EXS24 to create a drum kit, but the 'edit' button isn't available. I have manually enabled 'Advanced Editing', but it still isn't available. How do I get to the edit window?

Yours doesn't look like this?
If not make sure Preferences:Advanced:Show Advanced Tools is checked, as well as Additional Options:Audio

Audio echoing in Sample Edit. Any Suggestions?

I'm using an Mbox, yes, the input fader is set to playback, which shouldn't matter since I'm only playing back, not recording. I tried muting the main out in logic just to see, but that didn't help. HELP!!!
Thanks in advance,
danin
imac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

just a thiught, but logic will playback samples in the edit window through the audio playback channel selected in the litte box on the left side of the window. if you have an insert fx or a bussed fx on the selected audio track you will hear the file played through that fx

Size of edit window

I was replying to a post and noted the edit window scrolling left to right. I checked my screen resolution and noted that my children had lowered it to 1024x768 from my usual 1280x1024.
Why doesn't the edit window scale itself to the screen resolution? Either that or make it less wide to accomodate the not so small size of 1024x768 for those users whose eyes are not what they used to be.
Does this happen to anyone else, or am I alone in my experience?

We all accept that... but, as 'Moderators' you could:

I've been part of support forums for longer than I care to remember. I see it as I do the software I use. Sure, there are spots that drive me crazy. But it's what we have for the moment. I'm not going to stop helping my fellow users just because of the forum issues. But I guess that translates to being an Adobe apologist in your eyes.
shunithD wrote:
3/ Take a more proactive stand instead of being apologists and banning the more vociferous protesters - who anyway seem to complain only here and not in the product forums. BTW has anyone noticed this point?
Again, I've never banned anyone. Only Adobe can actually do that. And even then, it happens only after folks recommend someone be banned. I've not done that either. And again, I do recognize that you were generic with the comment and said "moderators" and not just me. As for the complaints being here, well, this IS the forum comments area. So if you are upset with the forums, isn't this the place to express that? Mind you I do feel that some are abusive with the expressions.
I've made no efforts to cover the fact that to me, the Jive forums are an improvement overall when compared to the FuseTalk forums I experienced before. So unlike many here, I come from a totally different frame of reference. It doesn't mean I think the Jive forums are as good as they should be and that they don't have issues, but they are better than what my software product areas had before.

Playback speed in Sample Editor window many, many times faster than track (at correct speed) in arrange area. How do I sync Sample Editor playback speed to correct speed/tempo in arrange area? Track is spoken word.

Playback speed in Sample Editor window many, many times faster than track (at correct speed) in arrange area. How do I sync Sample Editor playback speed to correct speed/tempo in arrange area? Track is spoken word. Sample Editor playback sounds like Alvin on a meth binge. Spoken phrase is generated from Textspeech. Textspeech can export files as WAV files or MP3 files. Perhaps a clue?: When exported Textspeech WAV file is dragged and dropped into track in arrange area of new project, it exhibits same supersonic speed. When Textspeech file is exported as MP3 file and dragged and dropped in arrange area track, it plays at correct speed.

Thanks Erik,
If nothing else, this huge list of updates and fixes, shows clearly that the Logic Dev team is working hard on fixing and improving LPX to a major degree.... and from the list of fixes done.. show they do read the bug reports submitted!
As an aside....
I recall how all the 'naysayers' prior to LPX (and in some cases, since...) were proclaiming how Logic was dead, the team was being disbanded, we won't see any further development, the Dev team doesn't listen or care... and so on....... I wonder where those people are now?

When I access the address book, how can I copy an address without having to open the person's info in the edit window?

When I find a person's address in the address book and highlight their name in one pane, in the lower pane their info shows up. Unfortunately, highlighting the information I want is disabled. So, I open their info in the edit window, and then click on the appropriate tab.
Getting a single piece of information is not so inconvenient, but when you're putting together lists it is rather onerous to do it that way.
Being able to highlight and copy off the address book panes would be cool. Thanks

In an earlier communication, I had said that this was possible, at least with TB on Windows, but I realize now that it's only possible when a certain add-on is enabled: [https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook]
http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/3_How_to_install_Add-ons_in_Thunderbird.html
Install the add-on, and see if you can now highlight info in the Contact Pane by dragging the cursor. Ctrl-C (or the Mac equivalent) to copy the highlighted text to the clipboard.
You may notice that right-clicking an address in the Contact Pane now shows a Copy command, but a bug in the add-on prevents this option from being active.
