marcperi Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hi everybody, since the beginning of my using Logic I got an issue with sample editor. Actually is not a big problem, but it seems not working like should. I select an audio region, for example from 18 to 20 bar. If I click sample editor button in arrange area I see the correct preview If I open sample editor from menu window, then I see my sample from 18 to 20 in a separate window properly. But if I drag the sample editor window to open it separately, than it turns back to show me bar 1. Links in both windows are selected (same level link, violet). I don't have same problem with piano roll. Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 You're experiencing relative and absolute modes: The ruler in the Sample Editor can be displayed according to the following two modes: • With reference to the time axis of the project (absolute mode) • With reference to the beginning of the audio file (relative mode) Switching the Ruler Between Absolute and Relative Mode The scale units in the ruler are displayed with solid white lines when you view the time scale according to its absolute position. When you view the time scale according to its relative position, the scale units are dotted (indicating that no time connection exists). When dragging out the sample editor tab, you're seeing the relative display mode. All details in the manual J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcperi Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 I know differences between absolute and relatives.... but... what about this from the manual: Drag the Sample Editor button,which changes to the Sample Editorwindow as you drag it. Note: For the Sample Editor to always display the contents of the region selected in the Arrange area, Content Link mode needs to be enabled. This is done by turning on the Link button in the upper-left corner of the Sample Editor area or window. It says that to see the region selected while dragging I just have to select link mode... isn't it? Or maybe my manual is missing something ????

David Nahmani Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yup Marc, looks like a bug to me. According to the manual, the only time you should see relative position (dotted lines) is when no connection with the Arrange area exists (the audio file only exists in the Bin). I can't think of any reason for Logic to give us a different behavior when selecting a region and choosing Window > Sample Editor, or when dragging the Sample Editor tab. The manual does not make a difference between both techniques and presents them as interchangeable. That's not the behavior we're seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Oh and BTW if you drag the sample editor tab, a single click on the region (in the Arrange area) will "fix" the ruler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
