CD import problems

2005-01-10 by GAmoore@aol.com

I made some loops in logic, mangled them in Live, then burned to a CD. Then I open the CD now (a few months later) and it first gives me permission errors, and I can open the sample editor on those files. So I use the usual trick of copying the audio to the disk and changing the references to it. I throw one of these on an audio track and wave form looks normal from there, but when I play I hear terrible noise. And when I open the sample editor, its horribly distorted. Is this a new "feature" of Logic Pro 7 (to please the record companies) or is this a bug or am I missing something?

That figures.

It's not a trick, it's the only correct way to use audiofiles from a CD or any 
other readonly medium. :o)

As far as I can tell this has nothing to do with Logic, the file got corrupted 
while being copied to the harddisk (or, if you're unlucky, when it was burnt 
onto the CD). Once it's copied, to Logic it's the same file as any other on 
your harddisk.

Is it an audio-cd or a data-cd? If it's audio you could try to import it with 
itunes (switching on errorchecking and of course choosing AIF as import 
format, not mp3).

Use file copy to change the file type from AIFF to SDII or WAV and that usually clears up the problem. I believe it is an OSX \u201cfeature/bug\u201d not Logic. The same problems occur using Peak. I haven\u2019t tried to do this with Logic\u2019s copy function, so I\u2019m not sure it works internally. I do it with an outside app like Sample Manager or SoundHack.
