EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

In Logic, import the tracks as QuickTime movie [Options/QuickTime Movie]
That should convert the track to an audiofile.

Thanks mate, but with Extractor I don't have to convert the entire track.
I sample a lot of drum sounds and other small bits of audio of CD.
Any other way?

With the Logic/Quicktime route, you CAN also select. Just use the 
options dialog, and set the in and out points.
Someone said that Toast audio extractor was better though. Can't 
imagine why it's slowed down though. I also have iTunes and TAE 
worked fine for me the other day.

I had big problems with the first version of iTunes. Conflicts with
logic and other apps. Maybe Joe hasn't got the latest version.

For what it's worth, I have iTunes v1.1

Seems to run alongside Logic - I use it to audition Spectrasonics samples.

I use it for the spectrasonics samples too!! its great, anyhow, I was
getting random crashes with it and logic at the same time, after quitting
logic.

Oh, I remember now, there is a documented conflict with iTunes and Toast
if you have firewire or usb drives. It says something in the iTunes
readme

The best app for this is SOUNDAPP

http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~franke/SoundApp/

Its a freeware, converts/extract files to anything you want and very
efficient, I prefer it over adaptec extractor.
