Joe Lonsdale Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hi guys - hope you can help. I would like to take advantage of Logic transient detection to cut up a multitrack drum recording into chunks that I can then manually move around and wonder if anyone knows how? Ideally I would 'transient detect' (and tidy up the markers) on the kick and snare tracks, group all the drum tracks and then 'slice at transient markers' and have all the other tracks divide in exactly the same place - however I cannot get this to work, with or without Flex engaged. I don't want to simply rely on Flex as it seems a little glitchy and doesn't allow me to join the cuts in quite the way I would choose although I am experienced in using Flex and I am confident I am doing it right. My manual fixes of drum recordings are excellent and I am totally happy with the results, it's just speeding the whole thing up a bit that I want! **Still on Logic 9.1.8 which seems quite buggy to me** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nola111 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Step 1: Export drum tracks. Step 2: Import drum tracks into Pro Tools. Step 3: Fix drums with Beat Detective. Step 4: Bring fixed drums back into Logic. Ha, sorry but I just couldn't resist. IMHO, Beat Detective is the only thing that PT still has Logic "beat" on. It can surely all be done in Logic for sure, but it takes more time and manual work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lonsdale Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 I am beginning to think you are right - and you are certainly not the first person to say that! And to add to all the manual work, my MacPro really slows down when your drum tracks are cut into so many fragments - not sure why it struggles, but it does - really annoying!

What happens instead? Do you have an example that you could share where this does not work? I just tried it and it worked as expected here, as long as "Editing (Selection)" and "Phase-Locked Audio" are both selected in the group settings. It then cuts all the tracks on the transients of the Q-reference track(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Lonsdale Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Well, I can't seem to repeat the problem. So it must have been me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
