STPro as Logics sample editor.

I like to use STPro as Logics sample editor in certain cases. However, one thing has me stumped.
Does anyone know how to get STPro to show up the sample in beats, when I (launch external sample editor' in LogicPro?
I have the preferences set to show 'Beats' in new documents, but it always defaults to min:secs....
Anyone have any ideas...? I would love to be able to edit accurately in beat mode.

The beat option only seems to be available from the multi-track vantage point. For instance you can't add a beat marker in the sample editor - the tool is greyed out - and if you've set some b-markers in the multi-track view, they're not visible any longer in the editor view. And yes, this drastically limits the usefulness of SoundTrack when setting up audio loops for example, and, of course, this is not discussed in the manual.

Logic Sample Editor Functions and Network Home Areas

Hi,
I'm an IT technician at an FE college so do not know much about Logic. We have network home areas (Snow Leopard Server). We have a problem in the music department where students can't access the Sample Editor functions (they are all greyed out apart from Change Gain). Now if I log on as a network user and create a project on the local HD everything is fine. Move that project to my Network Home Area Desktop and the functions are greyed out! I have checked file permissions and the network user has full access to all files in the project in both instances.
Any help much appreciated.
Dom.

Oh. And I thought that you, if anyone, could sort out this issue. Yes, Logic does not like networks at all.

Poor sample editor?

Hi ppl,
i am trying to remove some digital clipping from a track with the sample editor...i am wondering how logics sample editor compares to other programs? what other features are in other sample editors that are missing in logic?
I was thinking that there should be something more than the pencil tool. for example its really hard to draw nice curves with it - shouldn't there be some auto curve/round off peaks function etc? removing clipping must be a pretty common function. you can do curves for automation why not for samples!
anyway just after ppls thoughts...any other good sample editors for os x?
cheers

For declipping/denoising/spectral repair/dehumming/declicking I use iZotope RX - Soundtrack Pro which comes with Logic studio can do basic stuff but doesn't really hit it. Logic's sample editor doesn't offer the sufficient tools for this sort of work.

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

Does Logic's Sample Editor still have bugs ????

because for years the sample editor is been messing up and i've always thought it was my mac...
but on a new mac and still getting the same prblem
Under TIME AND PITCH MACHINE logic will not keep the pitch at the same place where you point unless you hold it down
example: if i change the tempo up by 10bpm, logic will preview it right until i let go off the mouse
even though the numbers and the dot is still showing that its been pitch up
normally it should continue from where ever you last moved the mouse to, you don't need to hold the mouse down through the whole song
is anyone experience this same bug or problem?
stash

anyone at all?
because i've tried three macs and all of em has the same problem

Calling SoundTrack sample editor from inside Logic

Does anyone ever tried to tweak Logic to use SoundTrack as the default sample editor?

Thanx a lot, Fred! Once you know where to look, it's obvious - but I couldn't find nothing in the manual. Yet, the key-command doesn't have a dot: I reckon that function must be available in some menu... But which?
Although the SoundTrack manual has a dedicated chapter on using Soundtrack pro with Apple professional applications, Logic isn't even mentioned... Strange!
Thanks, anyway: it's so cool to be able to jump directly into SoundTrack.

Logic Pro X freezes when I zoom in sample editor

Hello again.
It seems I'm not having luck with logic pro x at all.
When I zoom in the sample editor, after a few successful zooms I get the coloured spinning wheel (of death), my computer freezes and then I have to restart.
I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 and Logic Pro X 10.0.7 on a Macbook pro retina 2.6 GHZ 16GB Ram.
I've reported the bug but does anyone have any ideas? I basically can't edit at the moment and its driving me insane!
Todd

I have had a similar problem since updating to 10.9.4 today! Anytime I undo, Logic displays the spinning beach ball and I am forced to wait between 3 and 10 seconds. This is terrible for productivity.

Sample editor problem in logic pro 9

Usually when you select a track in the arrange window, then click sample editor, that audio file would then appear in the sample editor. But say for eg I have edited the 'kick drum' in the sample editor but would then like to edit the 'snare', when I click the snare track, it doesn't appear in the sample editor? instead, the kick drum remains in the sample editor and I can't seem to change what file is in there.
Can anyone help?, its proper frustrating!!

Can I move audio in logic by the sample in the sample editor to compensate

I wanted a final say on wether or not I can move audio with sample accurate percision by moving the anchor in the sample editor with update in arrange page turned off. i just need a verification of this.
Thanks guys

yes you can and should use the sample editor to make
such compensations. you do this by aligning the
anchor point to the sample or part of the wave form
that you want to correspond to a beat or subdivision
(ideally) though of course it can be any point you
want it to.
if you use 'pickup clock; move object or event to
SPL' KC the anchor point will jump to the SPL.
Philip K is right though; if your entire track is out
by the same amount that you can measure you could use
the sample delay (though of course that will only
delay it not move it forward in time). but you won't
see the waveforms align themselves to the beat
meaning you would have to be aware that that track
has been compensated for.
on balance i would edit with the sample editor.
I was thinking that you could delay the rest
of your tracks by however many samples thus
aligning by compensating everything else though
in real world situations I don't know how practical
this would be. I keep forgetting that you can measure
how many samples you select in the sample editor even
if you cannot see them individually. So I will defer
to the voice of experience on this. If Rohan would use
the Sample editor, then I would tend to agree

Logic 8 Sample Editor Problems

I'm having major issues with the sample editor. It's starting to randomly ignore tracks. I have drums tracks that I need to invert and they refuse to show up in the editor. I have 8 tracks in all that are being ignored. I have gone through all kinds of troubleshooting to try to get this to work and I'm stuck. What could be causing this?

Hey Neal,
did those tracks have comps?
did you tryed to flatten the tracks before reverse?
peace,
Jorge

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?

Not able to increase gain of blue Apple Loop in Sample Editor, even when I bounce in place

As far as I understand things, bouncing in place creates a new audio file that you can alter at will. I have a blue Apple Loop from Logic's library that I want to permanently change the gain on. I can bounce in place but all the functions in the sample editor are greyed out, thus not allowing me to change the gain. The loop is a surround sound loop, I don't know if that matters. It's happened to me in stereo so I don't think so.

Finaly i was able to solve the problem.The other machine was having some firewall blocking the receiver.

Feature Request: Destructive editing with AUs in Sample Editor

I would like to be able to apply edits destructively in the sample edit window with Audio Units like we could in Logic on MacOS9 (which used AudioSuite plugins). This is an ongoing request, year after year, among veteran Logic users. In every update it is ignored. The feature requires no redesign of the sample edit window, just another menu sub item droplist. While the bounce in place feature is a welcome addition, it is not a replacement for this feature that was removed in the migration to MacOSX and has been sorely missed ever since.
Here's just one recent sentiment from a user on the NYC Logic Users Group:
"I recently changed over to Logic from Pro Tools and I really miss this feature! For handling plosives and de-essing small fragments."
I also know a very prominent producer who boycotted Logic 8 and 9 for this reason alone. While I would never do that (since I happen to love all the new features and feel comfortable with the workflow of Logic 9), I sympathize with this person's frustration over the lack of this feature. I find myself constantly in the position of wishing I had destructive editing back in my Logic tool belt.

With all due respect, I personally cannot stand soundtrack. A lot of effort was put into the app that should have gone into Logic. As you allude to, I can trigger that Logic keystroke to open any sample editor, which is what I do. I just want the functionality back that was taken away from us many moons ago. I'm not looking for workarounds. This is just a simple feature request. But thank you for the suggestion.

Sound disappeared from Sample Editor?

Can anyone help? The sound has completely disappeared from my Sample Editor window and also the Audio bin.
I can't audition any loops in the list now, but if I drag them to a track in the main Arrange page they play fine. Then double clicking on that Audio loop or any audio clip in Arrange to bring it up in the Sample Editor window shows the waveform okay, but playing it just goes through the motions with the cursor moving as normal but no sound. Dead. Nada.
Is it me? I am not a novice with Logic but I can't work this out. I tried throwing away the preference files in Library/Prefs but nothing doing.
Any help would be appreciated as I can't edit in Logic now like this.
Cheers
Musolen

Well thanks again Chorleyman,
I have had a play around and added another Audio strip in the Environment, set it to Output No.256 (The highest) and the Sound in the Sample Editor came straight back on. It's still called Audio and not PreListen, I can't seem to rename that, but it works now so I have my solution.
Thanks again for the advice and to everyone else reading this and mulling it over.
Cheers,
Musolen.

"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.
Derp.
