Yeah, I like Wip's way to do it. It's really fast and easy.

hi all
i am new to this forum and new to logic 8
this slip tool you speak of doesn't seem to work
in logic 8. i have tried all 3 methods [ david's,niel's and wip's ]
none of which seem to work at all.
is this a logic 7 specific feature?

Didnt work for me either... Shuffle L does the trick tho...

see before and after pic attached using only Lock SMTPE and then adjusting.

Here's how I've always 'slipped' in Logic:

First I double click the region, so the Sample Editor opens beneath it, then (inside the Sample Editor):

Compensate Region Position is OFF when I do this, if not, I get 'slide' instead of 'slip'.

A way to do this IN REAL TIME without opening the sample editor and needing that extra key command would of course more user friendly. Are you saying that this is possible in Shuffle Mode?

Shame this function is gone in L8

Yup, no longer works as it used to.

Shuffle L works, but also shuffle all regions placed after the region you're slipping. .. unless you lock them to SMPTE.

Look for other workarounds in that thread (Sample editor trick, or audio window trick).

I cant find the work around do you have a link for it? Thanks shil

I meant in this thread.

ha yes, I got the slip thing to work from the sample editor it's not so nice to work like this but it's better then nothing, I'm surprised that there is no slip tool in L8 its so useful.
Thanks,

Shil

Here's the above mentioned way to get slip mode from the Sample Editor - and also a another (and probably better) way to do it from the Audio Bin:

Very nice!

oh man, I read this thread with excitement only to get to the end and found out it no longer works :lol:

It would be a very good feature (in arrange window)

I really wish it was as easy as DP's 'slip/slide' tool.

I'm being a bit thick here, but what is the "Audio window"?

Are you talking about the Audio Bin?

Yes Audio window has since then been renamed to Audio Bin.

A bit of Logic history for me!

Thanks.

you can do it with flex time to some extent.....as long as there is some silence on both sides of the waveform.

1) flex the track (which mode doesn't matter)
2) add a flex marker in both silent areas around the waveform......
these are your slip borders, so make sure they are far enough away to be able
to move your waveform where you want it.
everything outside of these 2 markers will be locked and safely unaffected.
3) hi-lite the waveform with your marquis tool.
4) now left click and hold above the waveform and you will see the "hand"......now drag the waveform left or right as needed.
5) don't click on anything else in the arrange window until you are satisfied with your new location. you can do other stuff
outside the window.....just don't do anything to un-hilite the marquis'd section , you can keep going back and moving it around again as long as it is still highlited...just grab it again and move it.........although you can just re-hilite it if need be.

it sounds like a lot of work .......
but once you do it a couple times it only takes about 10 seconds to set up.....
once the track has been flexed once its fast as heck.

hit the flex button.....mark your 2 borders ...marquis the waveform.....drag it where you want it......

BANG.....and Bob's your uncle.

David the tipmeister strikes again! already reeling fro the plugin #default tip. But please tell me no seals were harmed in the explosion.

I just bumped into this old thread…
I have found 'David's' techniques sometimes works and sometimes does not in LPX. Bug?

In ProTools, it is very easy to assign a stepped quantize amount of slip in a process like this. Is it possible to do this in LPX?
