The 3 Best Ways To Sample in Logic X

[@highestpoint26]

Bro, that reverse function for individual regions just made my day, but then you pulled out the Quiktime recording thing! You're a wizard, bruh!

[@tajtagore4117]

you know if there any good free options for audio interface?

[@davidrios9033]

Wow. I can't believe I never thought of using QuickTime to record from youtube or any other place. I just use a KZbin Downloader, and download just the audio and then import it into logic. Your way is much simpler and I can just record only the part I need. Thanks so much!

[@derryfranklin1069]

same here.

[@huschi1898]

@@derryfranklin1069 The microphone thing doesnt work for me, there is no signal when I try to record. How do you do this?

[@zugrath16]

@@huschi1898 That's the catch, you need some sort of audio plugin that records your computers sound output. The only one I know of is a plugin called SoundFlower. But it's free and from a random website, so use with caution.

[@zugrath16]

@@huschi1898 It seems like he uses his audio interface in this video though... the "Universal Audio Apollo Thunderbolt" at 8:02. So if you have an external audio interface maybe that's all you need? I don't know

[@notnice7829]

4:35 - I would also recommend using ShaperBox or Effectrix for the very same effects (stuttering and reversing certain sections), could sometimes be easier to experiment with and it works with midi as well!

[@notnice7829]

Reversing a whole chord progression would probably not work tho!

[@ShyEnkai]

This is gold, thanks for sharing. I'm mainly an Ableton user but sometimes dive into logic for a change of screen. I didn't know alchemy was so powerful.

the best tutorial on youtube regarding sample choping.

[@stevesynan3910]

I mostly use Logic for mixing live sessions with a band, or doing some lightweight MIDI stuff. I decided that I’m going to start exploring more because there’s so much untapped potential I’m not using and this is a GREAT jumping-off point! I learned quite a lot from this video! I’ve seen Alchemy before digging through Logic but it was way too intimidating. This is a great way to start using it. So much power! Thanks man!

Yxg3 _B that is a great question! It’s called capture record, it’s for when let’s say your track is playing and you’re just kind of noodling a groove, melody or chord progression, but not recording. Click that button and it will spit out what you didn’t record as if you did

Nick Urban you should have an option to record the internal computer audio. What version of QuickTime do you have?

[@kantati8010]

ey man. thank you ! good video. just one tip or idea. if you use the apollo interface you can route your systemaudio to one of the stereooutputs from your interface. if you do that, you can just create a stereo track in logic and set this output (for example virtual 3/4) as input. when you then hit record it will record whatever you play on youtube, spotify, etc. that way you can just skip the quicktime step :) thank you again.

What do you mean when you say “bounce that to audio?” And how do you do that? I’m a newbie. Just got Logic Pro x

[@EchoSoundWorks]

Logic has a cool feature that's called bounce in place, people shorten the term to just bounce. Lets say you have a midi region of a piano that you want to be audio. You can bounce in place and that region becomes audio. Try it out, hit control b on a selected region and you'll see :)

Excellent, great info-thank you! Here's some questions: The midi region that you get from the EXS24 process seems like the best part of that method; captures the unique timing of the transients. Can Alchemy do that too? And what are some good ideas/techniques for using just that timing info on other sounds, loops, etc. without stumbling over the pitch info?

[@LifeofDre]

Bro. You just dropped a game changer on me. It's been fun EX24...thank you!

When I use QuickTime to record audio it doesn't record any audio of the computer!? Even my own voice can barely be heard? I use the built in microphone and don't have dedicated audio interface. Any further settings I need to check to get this to work?

[@AudioMusicElectronics]

Search for soundflower. It installs a virtual audio interface that you can use to record from the output of your internal audio device, digitally.
