Chapter 9 Audio Window 371

Reconvert from SDII Stereo

This command converts SDII stereo files back into two mono files, allowing them to be

used in Logic, after edits in an external program (only necessary with DAE hardware).

Precondition: the mono files must be already registered in the Audio window. (If not,

just add the stereo file, which will be automatically converted).

Select the audio files (or one of them) and choose File > Reconvert from SDII Stereo. The

two audio files will be replaced by the externally edited stereo file.

Dealing with SDII Files

Logic allows you to access the Regions in SoundDesigner II files. (The SDII data format

lets you store Region definitions).

Import SDII Regions

You can import the Regions of SDII files into the Audio window. This is useful if you

want to play Regions from a long recording made with Pro Tools. Select the audio file

and choose Audio File > Import SDII Regions.

Export SDII Regions

This command allows you to export one or more selected Regions from the Audio

window into the SDII file. To export all Regions from an audio file, just select the name

of the audio file and choose Audio File > Export SDII Regions.

Other Functions involving Audio Files

Reassigning Audio Files (Update File Information)

If Logic cannot find one or more audio files—when opening a song, for example—the

Regions are shown as “blank” gray areas in the Audio window.

If the files are available under a different name, or you want to assign a “replacement”

file, you can do so as follows:

• Double-click the relevant Region, or select Audio File > Update File Information.

• Select Locate in the dialog, and a file selector box opens, allowing you to load the

desired audio file.

What to Do if Logic Cannot Find an Audio File

Sometimes, Logic can’t find a file which was previously used in the song. This could be

due to one of the following:

• You have not connected the relevant hard disk, or you have renamed the volume.

• You have stored the files in a different volume, or moved them to another volume.

• You have renamed the files in the Finder, or renamed them in the Audio window of

another song.

• You have deleted the files.

In these situations, Logic launches a dialog box. You can respond in any of the

following ways:

1 2 ... 366 367 368 369 370 371 372 373 374 375 376 ... 729 730
