Wrong name in sample editor.

I have a project where I was recording test voices for a voice over that was to appear in a TV ad.
The client wanted 8 people to audition and the piece was 8 words which came out to around 3.5 seconds. I gave each person their own track and let them say the line over until they were either satisfied or fed up.
After the session I began chopping the audio up, topping and tailing each take as the client wanted mp3's of all of them for the next morning for approval. I ended up with 121 takes across the 8 tracks.
Whilst I was editing I came across a weird bug that I had never seen before or since. I double clicked on the first take to open it up in the sample editor window and did my more precise edit..... and on this went.
At some point this stopped working and when I double clicked on a take it would open a completely different take, on a completely different track. At first all i noticed was that I couldn't hear my edit (in the arrange page). So, as a test (ready to undo) I changed gain down drastically. When I did this I noticed that a different piece of audio's waveform changed (on the arrange page) which is when I checked the name and realised this wasn't the piece of audio I had double clicked on. This behaviour continued until I restarted Logic. It was ok for a an edit or two then reverted back to this behaviour.
Has anyone else experienced this bug? Like I said, it has never happened before or since and the only difference to my usual sessions was there being lots of small (3.5 second) regions.
Strange and dangerous. I have reported it via Apple feedback but just wondered if anyone had ever experienced the same thing.
Thanks for your time.

Ahhh, another of those long standing bugs. I hadn't actually read about this one. Thanks for your reply, I'll stop worrying about template corruption and stuff now.
Thanks again.

Sample editor headaches.

i find the sample editor clumsy and frustrating...
i have opened a garageband project into logic. now i want to move an audio part so i copy it and paste it.
but in the sample editor, i see ExTrA audio? this must be what i had trimmed off of the beginning and DelEtEd?
but i deleted it so why does it exist ??
(oh yeah and before my rant; howcome if i copy an audio event and past it, then when i change the copy, it changes the original too.
like is that what you mean by your destructive editing? yet it saves junk i want to delete???? what. its so stupid). whose idea was that. useless dumb.
why is everything about a mac always so wierd. i only like it cos it doesnt blow up yet and my pc does.
what is destructive editing then someone please tell me?
because i have to say i am SICK and tired of all these "precautions" and safety features all software has now but i still lose data. these precautions ever serving me any use or save me anything... no.
nothign but a pain and
how much hard drive space am i going to WaSte over the Years, with all this JUNK i wanted to DELETE but i never know if its gone or just hidden from ME on MY hard drive that I went to the store and brought home and i own it, not logic and its stupid safety precautions.
so there.
also, having sample playback seperate from the project playback would be cool as a Non-default option.. but i think it should be more like garageband by default.
also, if youre gonna make it tuck the trimmed pieces away why call it destructive and why not just rip of tracktion a step further and put the nifty little fader things up in the corner in the arrage area, right? cos those are cool and i use em all the time, unlike oh screensets for example.
cos as it is.... im just frustrated and confused.
there is audio in my project that i dont even REMEMBER RECORDING and it pops up and i have to
STOP
being
CREATIVE
and
PRODUCTIVE
and instead i must begin to be here askign for help and offering my constructive criticizm.
so tell me, is this to do with importing from garageband?
but garageband is suposed to delete what i delete too. destructive.
so WHY am i HERE asking for help about audio i obviously wanted GONE
so i could focus on what i WANT to hear.
now im all like oooh, what is it?? is it important?
is... it like... what is it? why is it there? if i get rid of it will i find out it was something i wanted to keep and not junk like i thought
man this is so frustrating, just when your pc blows up too.
grrr. grrr. grr. get it? boo to sample editor!
everything else seems cool tho. im getting efficient with midi editing but
i am almost AFRAID to even touch the sample editor, yikes.
its gonna go wrooong and i will be like ok great leave it up to me to blow up a mac.... with all those funky comercials on tv.
and i will accidentally delete a wicked guitar solo and it will be gone.
but i got this junk i dont even know where it came from. boo hoo hoo hoo hoo.

Hi,
well, it took me some time to try and understand your actual questions...
First of all, the concept behind the arrange window and audio editor is really very smart and "logical", but if you misunderstand this concept, all kinds of strange things start happening, because your brain and mouse clicks will speak another language than Logic Express....
Logic Express is a high end application, for people that find Garageband too limiting. The consequence is that it's more complicated, simply because it has to do complicated things. But the guys who programmed Logic had excellent reasons to build it the way they did, believe me.
Now, if you record something, Logic will simply make an audio file like any audio software on any computer. You'll be able to see this file in the audio bin.
Besides that, you'll see a region appear on the track that you used to record the audio on. This region is a "building block", and it only contains a reference to the actual audio. So, if you take the scissor tool, and cut the region in 2 pieces, for instance, you get one building block that will play the first half of your audio file, and another one that plays the second half. And if you use the crossfade tool (see page 359 of the LE 8 User Manual) on a region, it will not do anything to your original audio material, but simply gradually turn down the volume. This really great, because you may want to use a whole piece of audio in one verse, and only a part of it in another. You simply copy the region, mess around with the copy, while nothing happens to the first region. That's non-destructive editing. So, most things you do with regions in the arrange window are non-destructive, and therefore not dangerous.
Now to the Sample Editor. Everything you do hear will have an effect on any region using this audio, so this is destructive editing, and therefore dangerous. So, if you want to repeat something in your song, you almost certainly won't do it here!!! You only should use the sample editor for things that are wrong in your original recording. Suppose you played a wrong pitched note. You can use "Time & Pitch Machine" to repair this one note, and it will be the right note in all regions using this audio.
The audio bin is the place where you can find all audio you recorded for your song. So, if you can't find back something you recorded, look there. Just a hint: give audio tracks in the arrange window a proper name before you hit the record button, and it's much easier to find your audio files back.
Hope this helps....
Kind regards,
Jaap

Jabber Client CallerId displays wrong name

Hi,
I have a problem with the wrong name displaying in Jabber calls. This only occurs when John calls from his Jabber Client. There is always the CallerId of Sam showing up.
Checked AD, Outlook contacts, CUCM & Webex configuration and found no errors.
Then I generated a problem record in my Jabber for Windows client and found this in PROBLEM_FEEDBACK_Cisco_Jabber_17.49_01-08-2013\Contacts\PersonManager\PersonManagerForensics.txt:
[1] <PersonResolver: 0D32AD90>
Original record: <0D36E2B8>
<Person: 0D36E370>
<PersonRecord: 0D36E2B8> (Roster:[email protected])
<PersonRecord: 09349160> Sam Sample (WebEx:[email protected])
<PersonRecord: 0F10FE60> Doe, John (CallerID:+491234567890:Doe, John)
In the other records there is only one name associated to one person. How did John number slip in here. And most interesting, how can I get rid of that entry? Where is it originated?
Same Problem occurs at a customer site with a on premise deployment (CUPS). So it doesn't seem to be Webex related. Tried several Jabber versions from 9.1.3 to 9.2.3. Same behaviour.
Any suggestions hints?
Regards
Andre

I think I see what is going on, just not entirely sure why and how to prevent it yet.
Look at the two records below, taken from the "PersonManagerForensics.txt" file generated once you report a problem through the Jabber application.
That first contact is a personal contact in the users Outlook address book.
The second contact is an employee.
When the user calls the second contact in Jabber, the caller ID always shows up as first contact. Same thing happens if the second contact calls the user.
The caller ID for the first contact is the same last 4 digits as the internal employees DID number. We use 4 digit dialing. Not really sure why the caller ID record for the first contact resolved to those last 4 digits of that one telephone number.
Jabber issue....or Outlook issue???
I'll open a TAC case.

Sample editor audition button goes silent when any track is solo'd

I've discovered that if a track in the arrange window (and others, I think) is in solo mode, it seems to override the audio audition function when I open the sample editor. This seems to be some poor heirarchical design to me because it forces me to go back to the arrange window (bye-bye sample editor!), find the solo'd track, unsolo it, move the window to hunt for the sample editor, or open another sample editor window from the track I was originally working on. A complete nuisance. Shouldn't the sample editor have priority?
Also, the solo tool is basically worthless right now because it never starts playing at the point I click on in a region. Completely inaccurate. You certainly can't zero in on any critical audio editing with this clumsy feature. Maybe it has to do with sluggish performance due to buffer setting issues??? It's a far cry from Digital Performer, where you simply highlighted a section of a region ("soundbite" in DP) and it instantly played back as soon as you let go of the mouse regardless of any solo assignments per tracks. Plus it was dead accurate. I spent the extra 700 mammies upgrading to Logic Pro mainly for the precious "marquee tool" which does s##t in terms of selecting and copying (it splits the region after you copy a selection, then you have to undo the split). Whoops, I'm ranting. Just can't believe the agony of audio editing in this beast of a program...

Excellent! I can't imagine how you discovered that...
The little "1" in the parameters indicates which audio channel the sample editor plays through - you can change it to anything, but this is not saved in a song (annoyingly enough), so whilst for most people it would be more convenient to set it to track 128 or something, we have to leave it at 1 and reserve that channel for the sample editor, or keep changing it all the time.
So it's mostly understanding of how Logic works that gets you these steps, and that comes form trial and error, experience, exploration, manual reading, and asking other people...
Could you describe the key command set-up you mention here?
Everyone of us here will have different requirements and workflows - I strongly recommend digging through the key commands window to see what useful things lay in store. Some things I use frequently others may have a different way of achieving, and some commands I never use are absolutely essential for others.
The beauty and the achilles heel of Logic is that it is so configurable - great for power users, but often it leaves new users confused as they simply don't know enough to set themselves up efficiently.
But key to efficient working with Logic are selection, navigation, zooming, screensets, linked windows (especially editor windows) and personalised key commands and autoload songs. So do explore those tools and see what they have to offer.
The tip I mentioned here doesn't help you particularly, but there are loads of key commands that will - I'd suggest starting a separate thread with just this issue and ask how others here would handle it - you might be suprised how many different answers you get - many ways to skin the same cat in Logic
But the audio editing in Logic still seems much more tedious than DP
It's also tricky to make these kind of judgements when you aren't too familiar with things - you may be right on the money, but you also may just not know key concepts and workflow tips that make things much easier.
There are plenty of new users who post along the lines of "Logic is cr.ap because..." and within a few posts it's abundantly clear that they just simply don't have a clue - I'm not implying that about you at all - I'm just simply saying that it takes time to build up workflows and explore the small little things that make or break an efficient workflow.
So I'm not saying you're wrong, but from your posts I would also guess that there's still a lot about Logic you're not on top of that could probably make you life a lot easier - so hang around here, and hopefully you should improve some workflow habits fairly quickly...
I hope that's been of some help. It's so much better when people control the rants, calm down, and start learning...!

Strangeness in Sample Editor / Arrange

I have an audio file (aif) in my bin. I drag it to the arrange page. It plays fine. I can make edits, create regions, everything one could want. I double click on the region and the Sample Editor opens but with the wrong file - something I had open before. So ok, I figure I'm a reasonable guy, I can adjust, adapt, make changes - so I delete the wrong file from my bin and try again. I click on the aif in the arrange window - the correct file - and the Sample Editor opens and says - Nothing to Display.
I tried moving it to a different track. Still no good. I'd sure like to normalize this file but it won't open in the Sample Editor.
Any ideas, ye comrades of the logic discussion?
Cheers,
MJ

Hate that bug! ...or should I say those bug variations:
wrong region displayed
"nothing to display" message
wacky timeline displayed
What works for me:
1. Quickly toggle the sample editor in Arrange open/closed/open a few times.
2. Quickly change screensets a few times.
3. Open the region in the "big" sample editor (Window>Sample Editor) then switch back to the "small" one in Arrange. (Or stay in the big one if it fixed it)
4. Open a new Arrange window (Window>Arrange) and close the old Arrange window then open the sample editor in your new Arrange window.
Don't close the wacky Arrange window until you've opened a new one or Logic will think you want to quit.
No rhyme or reason as to which method may work for any of the bug variations
See if any of these help.

Help With Sample Editor...

I'm trying to play an audio file at a slower tempo (to study something) while not changing the pitch.
I double clicked the file in the arrange window, and highlighted a section of it in the Sample Editor. The options in the Digital Factory are all still greyed out however, so Time and Pitch manipulation won't work...what am I doing wrong here?
Thanks
Tom

Make sure the file is in an uncompressed format, like AIFF instead of AAC. You can convert the file in iTunes. This solved the problem for me when I ran into the same issue.

Separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010

Working with Windows 7 Enterprise, Outlook 2010. We've set up our desk printers to print a separator page with the user's name, as several people use the same printers in our building. Printing from IE, Word, etc. all work fine, and it'll print
out the correct username on the separator page.
When anyone attempts to print an Outlook email, it instead prints out my username. We've found that it doesn't happen if they click on the "quick print" button, but it happens every time if they do "file > Print" or Ctrl+P.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you that separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
To create a custom separator page file, use a text editor such as
Notepad. On the very first line, type one single character, and then press
Enter. The character on this line defines the character used as an escape character. For example, the following list assumes that this character is the at sign (@).
Enter the escape codes for the functions you want, and then save the file with an .sep extension in the Windows System32 subfolder.
In the Print Manager, select the printer that you want to use the separator page file with, and then click
Choose Properties on the Printer menu.
Click
Details, specify the name of the desired separator page file in the
Separator File box, and then click OK.
Note:
Put the custom separator page file in one of the following locations:
In the %Windir%System32 folder.
In a folder whose path contains a SepFiles folder. For example:
Drive:\Folder\SepFiles\Subfolder
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Error building project using kXML2 - "Class loading error: Wrong name"

Hi,
I'm testing the XML-Parser KXML2 and downloaded the latest package, but the minimal version (kxml2-min.zip). I put this file into the directory "%j2mewtk%\apps\KxmlTest\lib" and wrote the lines
import org.kxml2.io.*;
import org.xmlpull.v1.*;
When I try to build the project with the Wireless Toolkit (v1.04) it spits out the following error:
Error preverifying class kxml2.io.KXmlParser
Class loading error: Wrong name
com.sun.kvem.ktools.ExecutionException: Preverifier returned 1
Build failed
I also tried the full package "kxml2.zip" but the same error occurs.
How can I get rid of this? Thanks in advance!

Okay, finally worked it out (hopefully). I unpacked the archive to a directory (say "%J2MEWTK%\apps\KxmlTest\tmpclasses") and then preverified them "manually":
%J2SDK%\bin\preverify.exe -classpath "%J2MEWTK%\apps\KxmlTest\tmpclasses";"%J2MEWTK%\lib\midpapi.zip" org.kxml2.io.KXmlParser
%J2SDK%\bin\preverify.exe -classpath "%J2MEWTK%\apps\KxmlTest\tmpclasses";"%J2MEWTK%\lib\midpapi.zip" org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParser
%J2SDK%\bin\preverify.exe -classpath "%J2MEWTK%\apps\KxmlTest\tmpclasses";"%J2MEWTK%\lib\midpapi.zip" org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException
Then I packed them again to a jar-file:
%J2SDK%\bin\jar.exe -cvf kxml2-min.jar %J2MEWTK%\apps\KxmlTest\tmpclasses\output\.
That was all!

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?

In Mail, the "From" line shows the wrong name associated with the email id. How do I update it?

In Mail, the "From" line shows the wrong name associated with my email ID. I've looked over preferences and account information but have not found where I can update it.

There isn't an email address associated with the contact name who appears as the "from" in Mail. It used to be a shared email address and I already had updated the contact to list only the phone number in case that was causing the problem.

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.

File appears different in arrange window and sample editor

I received a few AIFF files from someone Im working with: 24 bit, 44.1, same as I use. However, although they show up fine in the sample editor, in the arrange window they look clipped, as if they've been recorded too loud. This is making them very hard to edit. I've tried refreshing the overview in the sample editor, but with no success. Has anyone got any tips?

Does the file appear distorted visually, or does it also sound distorted?
In arrange, between the *Horizontal Zoom Slider* and the *Horizontal scroll arrows* you'll see a Waveform button with which you can adjust how "fat" the waveform is displayed. Clicking toggles it between the last setting and fully zoomed out. Clickhold to let the slider pop up.

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

Open file in sample editor

Hey forum,
This is probably a super noob question, but I have a clip of a 7 bar guitar line that I want to open in the sample editor so I can reverse it. I know the default is to double-click it, but it has the arrow on the left side and when I double click it, it pulls down the only take that I did of that section (instead of opening in sample editor). I want to know how to do this for other clips with more than one take as well.
So basically, how do I open a snippet in sample editor without double clicking on it?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hey Jorge.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've actually had to re-install the bug ridden 8.0.0 version to get it to work. Never thought i'd be saying that
I haven't updated it yet as i need to get some work done before i waste another day trying to sort out mysterious errors.
Thanks anyway
