nezramusic Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hey guys, I recently switched to Logic Pro 9. I hope you guys can give me some help with a problem. When i delete/cut a part of sample in the sample editor i get the following warning: Warning! The selected portion will be permanently deleted (the audio file stored on your hard drive will be overwritten). This is not what i want ,because the original sample on my hard disk will change.What i want is that the original sample on my HD will not change and only in my logic project the part of the sample will be cut/deleted. Is there a way in logic to cut/delete (parts of samples) and the original sample on the harddisk will not change? Can i change something in the preferences in Logic or in the sample editor itself? Thanks! Nezra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Can i change something in the preferences in Logic or in the sample editor itself? No. editing in the sample editor is destructive. If you want non-destructive editing do your cutting on regions in the arrange window. If you still prefer to do it in sample editor, you could always make a copy of the file and edit that. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezramusic Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks a lot for your answer! I always noticed the sample editor can be used to reverse samples, fade in/out en pitch and time correction. Is the sample editor also destructive when i use these functions? Thanks in advance Nezra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camillo jr Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Since the editing in the Sample ed is destructive, it's also a good idea to set up a few undo steps so you can still revert to the previous condition if you don't like your edits. Preferences / Audio / Sample Editor / Number of Undo Steps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
