Logic Cafe brings to you another lesson for Logic Pro and Logic Express users which equips sample based musicians and remix artists with a powerful tool for achieving quick results.

Recommended Applications for this lesson include:

• Add percussion and instrument loops from sample CDs to your arrangements
• Adjust vocal tracks and other audio provided for a remix

Note: In order for this feature to work properly you must apply a little musical knowledge beforehand:

Ensure you know the exact length of your sample loop / audio in beats and bars.

---

Step 1

In the arrange window, click and drag in the bar ruler in order to highlight the desired amount in beats and bars. The sample loop used in this example is 1 bar in length so the green stripe in the bar ruler is also 1 bar in length.

Note: The "length" mentioned in this step refers to the musical length of the loop and not the physical length of the object in the arrange window.

---

Step 2

In the Arrange page, click on the audio loop you wish to adjust in order to select it.

---

Step 3

In the pull-down menu at the top of the arrange page click on Audio>Adjust Region Length to Locators

---

Step 4

In the resulting dialogue box click on Process.

---

Step 5

Your audio sample loop should now match the green stripe in the Bar Ruler and play in time with your song.


Enjoy!
