Update* I used this app I bought it from the App Store. I couldn’t find the file anywhere! I guess the original export was just interrupted somehow… Kind regards, G Mac has been turned off and on since I’ve done my recent searches for this file. I have all auto iCloud saves deactivated!

Oh that is great. cheers! I will install that immediately and give it a go. In regards to the “specifics” I simply muted everything else in my session other than an audio file that had one maybe two effect plugins on it’s channel - I hit command - b and gave it a name and selected save to desktop. I had the yellow cycling bar activated in Logic; the one you use for a loop during playback. The yellow cycling bar was used to export everything within the bar so it didn’t export the entire session including the muted channels. Those are all the specifics…

Ok that is great I understand what you mean now. Is there a superior way to find a file rather than using spotlight search? I actually don’t know if there is… I remember what I supposedly saved it as so I can search now and let you know where it saved if I find it.

Before exporting again I actually tried to find the file under the name I supposedly saved it as on my Mac; I searched the entire machine and found nothing. So I’m sure I didn’t save it anywhere else. In regards to something aborting the process can this happen if you’re flicking through different applications as Logic is exporting or maybe the session just having a lot of VSTs and plugins loaded etc…? thank you for your reply! Kind regards, G

Hey! I exported one audio file to desktop from Logic; the process finished and then it didn’t appear and I couldn’t find it anywhere even in projects audio files… a small glitch? I did the export again and it was fine and I had the exported file. jusr checking there is nothing wrong with my system or Logic. I am using a new Mac Mini and Logic is updated. I asked this before on here but maybe I worded it wrong and wasn’t easy to understand. Thanks again guys. kind regards, G

I didn't see it in there... after I did the process again I dropped the new exported file into logic made another change to it and then bounced it in place and deleted the previous version. and then after I cleared project audio files like I normally do just habitually; I saw the new exported version that just I deleted after bouncing it in place but I never saw the OG failed exported first version in there... sorry maybe too much irrelevant information about my process haha but I didn't see that first one that didn't appear on desktop. who knows where it went? I searched my entire Mac for the file name I supposedly exported it as and couldn't find anything. Maybe it just did not export fully.

Hey! I hit command b and exported a stem - everything else was muted I just wanted to export this stem with the effects on it. I selected to save it to desktop with a name... anyway after it was finished exporting in real time everything seemed normal but I couldn't find the file anywhere? I did the exact process again and it was fine... is this a rare occurrence? Kind regards, G

I don’t get exactly what you mean by this. The version that works for me in regards to it being seemingly perfectly in key with my baseline is the version with the gap before and after , I just print this gap of silence before the beginning and after the Audio file ends. I understand the concept of an anchor now but I cant visualise what you mean exactly with setting the anchor into the wave form? thanks for your patience,

Thanks for the reply - I’ve not heard of term anchor before what do you mean? Cheers

just letting you know that when I drag a perfectly cropped version of the audio sample where it starts immediately and cuts off right when it finishes gives me the GSHARP3 +29 cents result but when I import a version with a gap of silence about a second before the sample starts and after it finishes gives me the G3 -35 cents result. Maybe the algorithm is more "accurate" when there is a a gap of silence before and after giving it time to "think" when scanning. The version with the gap before and after which gives the G3 -35 cents result sounds perfect against the bass line but the GSHARP3 +29 cents result is out of tune completely... maybe something to get the developers to look into. Kind regards, Joe

SOLUTION The 1810c has routing options within the mixer software, which allows the user to set up custom mixes for each pair of physical stereo outputs on the interface. These custom mixes can be created by highlighting the Main, Mix 3/4 or Mix 5/6 buttons and adjusting the faders and mixer settings. I could see that in my setup, i was currently sending both the Stereo 1-2 and Stereo 3-4 outputs of Logic to the 1810c Main out. In order to get the setup working properly, i would need to set different mixes for Main and Mix 3/4 on the software mixer. I downloaded the 1810c manual from the Presonus website and skimmed through the relevant info on routing. I then set up the software mixer as shown in the pic attached. For the Mix 3/4 setup, I reversed the mutes on the first two DAW (Logic) channels. DAW1 was muted and DAW 3 was unmuted. (The setup of Mix 5/6 wasn’t relevant at this point.) This meant that the Presonus physical outputs were now matching the outputs selected in Logic. I could see that the Presonus mixer settings were also responsible for the feedback I was experiencing. All the input channels were turned on with raised faders on each of the mixes. This meant that the output of the SPL would be feeding back into itself. Muting all the mixer inputs stopped this problem and Logic could be used to control input monitoring.

"The tuner might not have a long enough note to lock onto the pitch of a short section in your example. You could try flex pitch, (or Melodyne), for better tuning by individual note features." great idea I will extend the note with polyphonic time stretch so it doesn't change the pitch and will let you know if it works. is there an explanation for the optimise setting on quick sampler giving me inconsistent results? one time it detected a G3 and adjusted cents by -35 and then when I dragged the same sample in another time it detected GSHARP3 and adjusted cents by +29...

the tuner has been giving me a real time reading as the sample is playing through but it isn't telling me how much the entire vocal has been pitch shifted away from a perfect AFlat which is the key of the track. it is clear to me that this vocal has been pitch shifted up a few cents because my bass line written in the ket of AFlat sounds slightly off. There is one note that is sung in the vocal which sounds particually off during a certain part of my written bass line - I cut this note out of the audio sample and played it on a new audio channel with the tuner plugin attached; the results are inconsistent every single time... its surprising because its just half a second worth of audio information. (the real time reading of the entire vocal sample being played having inconsistencies is understandable, but surely not with half a second of one note being played.) I use my ears initially and finally of course that is what I'm supposed to do - but it would be great to have consistent results from these meters.

the tuner plugin is giving me a real time reading which is great but it doest tell me the key of the sample so I can't use it for what I'm trying to do - also I've realised that the quick sampler optmize setting is actually inconsistent every time I drag and drop in the audio file; I'm just going to have to use my ears to pitch this sample against my sub bass - nothing else seems to be working better than just using my ears. not sure if there is a solution to this. Kind regards, Joe

Will this find the accurate key of the entire vocal sample or will it just lock into the last note of the sample as it plays out? I’ve used it whilst tuning individual notes before but not to detect the key of an entire sample.
