Don´t wanna use the ESC button, it´s stupid. Anyone? Thanks!

I´m just getting into the Ultrabeat and I´m loving it. Nice mods and snappy envelopes. I´ve just made my first banging bassdrum and now I wanna save it. But I don´t wanna save the Ultrabeat with everything that comes with it. In the pull down menu there are soundbanks from which you can drop sounds into Ultrabeat, how do I make those? A collection of my own bassdrums, snares, claps, hihats and so on? Is it possible to just save a single sound into a patch or into an existing soundbank? Loving it, but I wanna be able to customize and organize. Thanks!

The thing is, if you read my OP, that I wanna chop up the first 64th note length of a bassdrum at every zero crossing and then apply normalization to those parts and then bounce to increase the punch of the bassdrum. When it´s finally chopped up I can´t just mark the new small regions and normalize. I can do all this in Cubase within minutes, including applying some tasty UAD 1176LN compression Strip silence won´t work cause there is no silence within the bassdrum, only compressions / rarefactions and zero crossings.

No worries bro. This is something Apple has to fix ASAP, IMHO. It´s a major PITA for me, and others too I imagine. I do these kind of micro edits all the time, but mostly on bassdrums. Is there something we can do to make them do it? Like signing a petition or sending them a bomb threat?

Thanks for the help bro. I wish Apple will put in this feauture in the future though. Such an easy thing to implement. They´ve got so much new good stuff going on that they picked up from Ableton and other sequencers.

True, I switched cause when I´m doing loads of automation in Cubase it always crashes. Lost so many projects. Heartbraking. Macs are way more user friendly too. But when I´ve chopped up the different regions and patched them together again and try to normalize I´m just normalizing the original sample right? I wanna normalize the different regions which I then have to bounce individually into audio files and normalize and then glue together again, puh? When I "create new region" it doesn´t end up a new audiofile too or? It´s still using the same "source" file? Or does it create new versions? It´s not the end of the world if it doesn´t work, it´s just that I´m a little bit sick of Cubase. But I can always jump in there and do my bassdrums, it´s not like I do them while I´m producing anyway.

Uh, it deletes every other part of the REGION, not the sample itself, I know. When I create new regions they don´t show up in the arrange window. I tried to select parts of the sample and then selection to region, then dropped that region down to another audio track. Then I kept on going with the next part and glued them together with the shuffle option in the drag menu but the regions ended up longer than the original. And heres the twist: now I wanna normalize each little region Unbelivable that Apple don´t know how to use a pair of scissors

There is no action that you would want to perform at a zero crossing besides to cut. Anyway, when I do that, it deletes all the other parts of the region? So I need like 20 audio channels to do this or? Can´t believe that Logic can´t do a simple thing like cutting at a zero crossing

First off, thanks. Secondly, I don´t mean to come across as rude, but please remove "SOLVED" from the topic title. 1.What on earth is "snap to zero crossing" for if not for doing edits??? There is one in the Sample Editor window as well, but in there the scissor tool is nowhere to be found? I tried the marquee tool tip too but it does not work. It just snaps to whatever Logic "thinks" are transients. 2. The question remains, how do I cut at a zero crossing? In the arrange window, even though I zoom in max and apply a cut where it looks like there´s a zero crossing (so hard to see, would have been way better if the waveform representation was actually a waveform and not some sample and hold lego nonsense) it cuts where there isn´t one and I get a click. 3. Is there a way to do edits in the Sample Editor window? There is the proper waveform display, but no scissors? I don´t want to have to jump into Cubase everytime I want to do a simple edit and juggle audio files in between it and Logic. Thanks.

Awesome, thanks! In Cubase I´m so used to the fact that wherever I cut, it snaps to the nearest zero crossing. Is there a way to do this in Logic 9 as well??

Hey ho! I´m coming from Cubase where I have this cool trick that I always use on electronic bassdrums. What I do is to zoom in on a great bassdrum (as far as possible) and chop it up at every zero crossing in the beginning of it (where the "punch" from the pitchdrop is) say a 64th or 32nd and then normalize it to -0.1dBFS. This simply brings out the punch like no other process can. You should definately try it out. However, in Logic, whenever I try to cut with the scissor tool, it just cuts wherever I cut, nowhere near a zero sample crossing, but in Cubase if I do that, the cut will snap to, you guessed it, the nearest zero crossing? Also in Cubase I´m able to see where I´m about to cut, but not in Logic? Otherwise I´m liking Logic, even though it´s a bit strange:) Thanks!!!
