  1. Yes it's true, I can trim it great in Quick Time. Thanks! The only problem is that this track also needs a bit of volume automation.
  2. But if sending a CD was not an option, how would you edit a very long AIFC, which can only be bounced in CAF in Logic, and send it in compressed format back to friends? Sorry for bugging you, but I would really like to do this... Let me repeat my problem. I have an AIFC file, which I have to cut a bit and equalize a bit. It's 2 hours long. This means that when it "decompresses" in Logic after I import it, it is too long to export it in any format but CAF. Now I have this CAF file which sound the way I want it to sound, but I cannot find any way to convert it back to MP3 or AAC (or AIFC). Thanks again and sorry for my noob questions.
  3. Haha, ok, I get it. So what would you do if you would have a 2h long .aifc which you must edit and send to your friends? Is this the best way - exporting it to .caf after editing it in Logic and then compressing it again? Or would you do something else? Would you even edit it in Logic?
  4. Thank you Eriksimon for your kind explanations. So let me get this straight, if .aifc or .mp3 file is imported into Logic it somehow expands/decompresses and becomes much larger in size?
  5. 1. What is funny with the "mp3" option is that it tells me it exceeds the 2GB limit, but if I split it in half and make two mp3s they are both much much smaller - together they take about the size of the imported "aifc" file or even less. So there must be a way to export just an mp3 without splitting it, right? 2. I would be surprised if there wasn't any way in a complex audio software like Logic to just import one large (but compressed) audio file, cut it a bit, equalize it a bit, and then bounce/export it with a similar size. Otherwise, please suggest me some other software to make these quick edits to large (but compressed) audio files.
  6. Thank you. But there are two more questions which arise from this solution, which gave me a 1.9 GB caf file. 1.) Why does Logic create enormously big files from much smaller input? 2.) How do I convert this 1.9 GB caf file to a regular size mp3?
  7. Hi! I imported an "aifc" file into Logic, which is 171.3 MB and lasts 2h. I put some compressor and limiter on the audio channel with the file and cut the beginning and the end of a file a bit. I then tried to bounce the whole "project" into an mp3 to which Logic responded with: "Maximum file size of 2.0 GB exceeded." When I bounced only half of my song, the result size was something of 80 MB. I noticed that when I exported this half of the song, the warning before bouncing was that the bounce requires around 1.0 GB of disk space, as if it would not recognize that I only checked the mp3 bounce and not the PCM. What is happening here? Thank you.
  8. Thank you, inadase. So you think that "hijacking" it trough Audio Hijack is better than downloading it and extracting audio from video - regarding sound quality?
  9. I want to use a sample from a youtube video. I want to make sure I download the best audio quality of that video. I got a feeling that when I use popular youtube downloaders, they always compress sound a bit. What tools do you recommend?
  10. Ski, isn't flex more for tempo changes? I am a beginner myself, but in this case I would just create two empty audio regions on each side of region with a snare, so they stick to the bars, and then merge all these into a single region.
  11. Thank you, fader8. But what is actually achieved by adding this setting in comparison to just "Snap to Bar"? In the song I'm working on right now, I can't see the difference. Fuzzfilth, what do you mean by integer region borders? Touching bars on both sides?
