can someone out there pls tell me how to slow down loops(.wav) to match the speed of the track in Logic 5.0

 

as well as letting me know how to record the final mastered track. I cannot seem to figure out how to record the final version of the track into a wav file so I can burn it on cd.

 

and I have looked thru the manual numerous times and cannot find the answers anywhere...any and all help is greatly appreciated

 

bom!

If I understand you question correctly, this is easy enough :)

 

If you have the loop as an audio file, go to the audio window. Open the wave-file, so you can see the actual waveform. In the top of the window, there should be a timeline displaying the bar and beats in the tempo of the track. Here you can see whether you loop is the right length or not. It get's even better :) - mark all of the waveform, and use the time/pitch factory in the factory menu. Here you can see the actual length of the loop, and then set the desired length to exactly what you want - measured in bars and beats! Simply type in the length you want, and press "process and paste" - that should do the trick :) - remember to keep a backup of the original loop though....

If you time-stretch too long (or short), the sound may become muddy, and you should then use pitch-shifting in stead. This will alter the timbre of the sound as well, but keep it clear and whiout the crackles introduced by time-stretching... This can also be done in the time/pitch-factory.

 

About recording - I had to have some help with that too. In the track-mixer window, there's a main-mix channel. On the bottom of this there's a tiny litle button with the caption "bnce" - if you press this, you get a window in which you can bounce all the audio to a single file, with the effects of plugins and everything - including audio instruments like absynth, delay-lama, and whatever. Select your desired wave-file-type (.WAV typically), the range of the bounce (typically all of the track), and remember to select "interleaved" in the roller where it's possible - else you'll get a seperate wave-file for each channel (two for stereo). When ready press bounce and type in the file-name in the popup-window. Now Logic plays back all the audio, and simultaniously "record" it to a file. This is done 100% digitally, so you'll get NO noise from the soundcard :)

If you wan't some MIDI recorded from external synths, I don't see another way, that to record it on another computer, and then merge the results of recording and bounce - this can be tricky, due to poor synchronization, but give it a try - here the time/pitch factory comes in handy as well... :)

 

Hope this helps!!

Hm, why don't you record straight into a Logic audio track? You don't need to record to another computer....

Hehe, right - I don't think longer than my own nose... :) - I don't have a decent audio-interface yet, so I need the other comp....

 

But of course you're right :)
