Richard J Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I create lots of samples for which I often use very slow tempos (I could explain if anyone wants to know why) Anyway - when I export my samples, they all have a marker with the tempo of the session. That's fine for some drum loops, sure, but not for synth patches. How can I switch this function OFF...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Markers are not embedded with audio files*.. markers are just a way to designate locations/sections in a project file. My guess is, you mean the tempo information is embedded in the audio file. You can try to remove it with Options > Tempo > Remove Tempo Information, but in my experience that doesn't always work. Why is it a problem? What are you trying to do that this tempo information prevents you from doing? * EDIT: Thanks to Eric for correcting me: actually, markers are embedded in audio files: Importing, Removing, and Exporting Marker Information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Rickwood Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'd like to know this too. For now, I use Sample Manager to strip that info. It's bad because: 1. When imported into another session, the session often asks if you want to import the tempo info (which is great in some instances but not for pure ambiences or sound effects design) 2. A lot of my clients are using Flash and Flash doesn't like the extra header information. I'd love to find a way to export raw .wav files with no markers/tempo/key info.

Why is it a problem? What are you trying to do that this tempo information prevents you from doing? If I'm creating say a kick drum sample and export it from Logic, it will have a marker (it's called a marker in Wavelab) at the start of the file with the tempo of the Logic session. I only found this out when editing some Logic exports in Wavelab on the ageing PC. I don't want the tempo markers there because (a) it's irrelevant to have tempo information on a kick drum sample (b) I don't want my DAW or anyone else's to prompt with a message about importing the tempo information. Thus, I have to edit them all out - and when you do a sample pack of 400+ samples, that's a stage I'd rather not have to go through. So - anyone know if this can be disabled within the current version of Logic at the time (or before) I export the audio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillo jr Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Don't know if this will work but maybe if you export them all as aiff files and then batch covert to wav? The free Audacity might be able to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The free Audacity might be able to do this. That's what i was thinking. Not sure if the same marker appears in an AIFF file, but something to check out.

Eric Cardenas Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Markers are not embedded with audio files.. markers are just a way to designate locations/sections in a project file. I beg to differ. Marker names and their position is information that is being embedded in the audio file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep "Importing and Exporting Marker Information When you record or bounce an audio file, the current Marker List is added to the resulting file."

lagerfeldt Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'd rather Logic stopped asked about it. Embedding the info is fine - but please don't force me to press unnecessary keys every single time I import a file. Argh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First: Option to exclude markers + option to exclude tempo information. Second: Option to disable the asking dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headrc Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 And I thouhgt for a sec that the problem might be Mainstage. But I opened a new Logic Zpro project and brought the bounced audio file into it ...not tempo information! Then I tried to import tempo informztiuon from it ....I got the same message ...no tempo information in the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrc Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 And lastly ...I tired re-recording as a test ..double checked ll my preferences to see where there might be operator error ......although a newbie ...ZI could not find any problems. The new recording had the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
