518 Chapter 21 Editing Audio in the Sample Editor
Audio to MIDI Groove Template
For detailed information on the Audio to MIDI Groove Template function, see “ Creating
an Audio to MIDI Groove Template ” on page 462.
Using an External Sample Editor
You can configure Logic Pro to open an audio region or file in an external sample
editing application.
To use an external sample editing application:
m Click the Set button below the Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio > Sample Editor >
External Sample Editor preference.
A file dialog opens, allowing you to browse for, and select an external sample editing
program.
To open a selected audio file in the external sample editor:
m Choose Options > Audio > Open in “name of external sample editor” (or use the
corresponding key command).
Using AudioSuite Plug-ins
The Sample Editor allows the use of AudioSuite plug-ins. These plug-ins work
destructively—the result of the editing process is written into the audio file.
Note: AudioSuite plug-ins can only be used with hardware addressed by the DAE
(Digidesign Audio Engine). Any properly installed AudioSuite plug-in will be displayed
in the AudioSuite menu.
AudioSuite > Buffer Size allows you to set the buffer size of the Preview mode. A
smaller buffer size results in a faster response to plug-in setting changes while
previewing, but requires more processing power.
