Re: [Logic_Cafe] Edit Apple audio loop?

2010-03-15 by GAmoore@aol.com

No audio can not easily be returned to Midi. Logic does have an 
audio-to-score function but I used it again recently and found it 
completely worthless. Even if it did work, i would give you a bunch of 
midi notes, and you would not have the original sounds that made the 
loop so you would not be able to edit it.

You do these things though :
- use FLEX to or simply cut the loop into 16th notes using the 
scissors, and then re-arrange or copy the parts as you see fit. These 
will then adjust to different tempos too.
- you can use Recycle to make midi and little samples, and then you can 
put that in EXS24.
- you can choose a midi loop instead of an audio loop, then have all 
the editability you want.

Subject: [Logic_Cafe] Edit Apple audio loop?

 
I'm brand new to Logic and I'm hitting my first "wall." I want to edit 
an audio drumset loop - not the file attributes per se, but the actual 
pattern being played - so that the loop better fits the song I'm 
working on.
Is this possible? If so, how do I do this? Can an audio loop be 
converted to a midi file so that I can edit it like I would a midi 
drumset loop (which I DID figure out how to do)?
