taico Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 My name is Tay I am new to this site and Logic. (*I use 10.3.2and i have Sierra) Can I submit screen shots with explanation? I want to thank David Nahmani for his email to me to join this group. There are a ton of videos on You Tube about how to do this and that. My first step is on how to use Alchemy to bring in a very simple one trk one 1sec sound. If there are any recommendations on this simple approach and how to eventually know that i have imported successfully in Alchemy I would be grateful.

moondogs Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Welcome. I think you're looking to learn more about sampling in Alchemy. I've included a link below that might help, but if you search YouTube for 'Logic Alchemy sampling' you should find lots of other videos that will help you learn this great synth.

David Nahmani Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 My first step is on how to use Alchemy to bring in a very simple one trk one 1sec sound. I'm not sure what you mean. There are a few tutorials in the Logic manual that may help you get started: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/logicpro/lgsi9253871c/mac however if you have a specific idea in mind and want us to help, can you detail what you mean by one trk one 1sec sound? You can add screenshots here using the link I shared in my previous post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taico Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Hello again David. Thank you much again. What I've decided to focus on right now is Alchemy. I do have a number of videos I downloaded on Alchemy and I think I should slow down in my brain and take it a step at a time. I hope to then better understand how Alchemy can be the best tool for me in my creating samples. I am trying to learn how I can (for example) sing a note, capture a bird sound etc and then make that the sound sample I can use as a new instrument. I realize there is a bit of trial and error..but I will take it a step at a time. In the future I will want to find out your cost for a lesson on a particular subject. The level of my knowledge is about a goal I want to achieve and being taught the step by step of how to accomplish it. All the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 If it's stricly about sampling, I'd suggest you take a hard look at Logic's QuickSampler. It will give you a much shorter way to results. If you've outgrown that you can tackle Sampler, then Alchemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taico Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Thank you Fuzz......But I have Logic 10.3.2. Please forgive...but I will have to learn how to access this Quick Sampler if it is indeed available for me in 10.3.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Then look at EXS24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taico Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 OK....Logic is quite huge.....I plan to look into EXS24. Thank you again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 OK....Logic is quite huge.....I plan to look into EXS24. Thank you again An easy way to create a sampler instrument is to record your voice for example, or your bird chirping, then select the track and choose Track > Convert to New Sampler Track.

taico Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 thank you David....I appreciate this. I have Logic 10.3.2......I can still do this? Also with Sierra High Sierra does anyone know the latest Logic I can download....can I go up higher? All the best!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 thank you David....I appreciate this. I have Logic 10.3.2......I can still do this? Yes, no problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taico Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 OK...thanks. Could you tell me what is the latest version I can download of Logic for Sierra or High Sierra? Or is 10.3.2 the limit? ....Also I cant find a place to upload a photo of myself which I think would be helpful. I see no facility in your website editor on how to do this. tai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taico Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Hello again Dave....Please understand. I wish I had more time to dive deep into EXS24 or Alchemy. I am getting a bit confused with going with the pieces of advice I am getting for putting together a sample....my voice or a one tone sample....birds etc. Thank you ...I found the convert to sample track under Tracks and now I am into the EXS24. If you dont mind David.....I value your answer here!.....Are you saying it would be best for me to focus on the EXS24 for what I want to accomplish? I will then do that. I am OK with studying but not to go down a bad street for what I want to do....thank you MUCH tai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taico Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 Thank you all for your help. I am sorry if I didn't know I was including my screen shot...i thought i wasn't able. I am using Sierra and 10.3.2 Logic. ALL I want to do is ....when I pull in a music loop into my track...that I can learn step by step how to transpose the second region. Example: the region with the loop- is in c....now I want to make the 2nd region into f. Also in the Loops area- when i change the key in the area I can hear it change key....BUT in no way does it pull in with the new key. My Transpose in Regions inspector area offer NO option to transpose by semi-tones ONLY octaves. I know I have a lot to learn ...even with navigating thru logicprohelp. I deeply appreciate your attention and help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Transpose in Regions inspector area offer NO option to transpose by semi-tones ONLY octaves. Click and pull up/down in the empty space to the left of the up/down arrows for semitones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taico Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 Many thanks for the direction. I really appreciate it. Logic is a very very profound software. You mentioning to click just left of the arrows is really great. It seems to work as you say. It is amazing how easy it is for me to miss the fine points. I am trying to come off of DP.....Logic is a trip! Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taico Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 Ha Ha....indeed. Thank you for your generosity. As an aside- I noticed you also offer some training and help. Eventually I may need this. I dont know how much you charge...so that would be a factor. In the meantime, i am grateful. tai@taicoproductions.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
