Opening the Sample Edit Window

There are various ways of opening a Sample Edit window:

• Select Audio > Sample Editor.

• Press Command-0.

• Double-click on any audio Region in the Arrange window; this opens the selected

Region in the Sample Editor.

• Double-click on any Region in the Audio window.

If no Region is selected, Logic will ask if you’d like to load a new file into the Sample

Edit window.

If you’re dealing with an interleaved, or half of a “split stereo” file or Audio Region, both

channels/audio files will be displayed in the Sample Edit window, with the left side on

top, and the right side below.

If you open the Sample Edit window from the Arrange window, as opposed to the

Audio window, the Bar Ruler is able to reference the Region’s position in the song. You

can tell all of this from the position marker lines in the Bar Ruler. A dotted line indicates

no time connection (Audio window), while a broken line indicates a time connection

for the Region being used in the Arrange window.

Elements of the Sample Edit Window

• The small waveform display at the top is the overview; the entire audio file is

depicted here.

• The dotted frame in the overview shows the extent of the section visible in the

display area.

• The Parameter box in the upper left corner below the overview shows the start point

and length of the selected area.

• When the Catch (“walking man” symbol) button is activated, it ensures that the

playback position is always visible in the window. The other controls operate as in

the Audio window.

• In the center, you’ll see the main contents of the Sample Edit window: the detailed

waveform display.

• Left of the detailed waveform display is the Amplitude Scale (as a percentage, or 16-

bit decimal values).

• The dotted line in the waveform and overview display is the Playback position line.

• The zoom bars are used to set the magnification of the detailed waveform display.

• The horizontal time ruler above the detailed waveform shows the name of the edited

Region at the top left.

• Beneath that is the time position of the Region in the audio file, in various formats.
