JDavisNJ Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Hi guys, I have some drum samples that I'm trying to import to Logic. They are 32 bit and Logic is giving me a warning saying that they will not work. I've converted them to 24 bit and they work fine. I can understand if 32 bit isn't supported, BUT here is the catch. Someone on another forum has no problem using the same samples. (Link:http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/andy-sneap/298998-logic-wont-let-me-open-andys-samples-32-bit-warning.html) Am I missing a setting I need to change here or something?? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, -Joe[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 You can't use 32 bit floating point audio files in Logic. You need 16 or 24 bit files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by "floating point"? I just wonder how this other guy could have used em, stumps me. Also, seeing that you're a trainer, do you think the quality difference between 24 and 32 bit samples would be that noticeable to fuss about? I listened through on my monitors and it was very hard to tell. -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDavisNJ Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Saw this on the Apple site, maybe you can clarify: "32-bit floating-point mathematics provides enormous headroom for internal processing..." ?? -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Logic uses 32 bit floating point arithmetic for its audio engine calculations, and when you freeze a track it is frozen to a 32 bit floating point audio file. But you can not drag and drop or in any way import that file directly onto a track. You have to use 16 or 24 bit audio files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem using the 24 bit files anyway. So essentially, the quality difference will be very small at best? they sound good anyway, I'm just curious. thanks again, -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDOTDASUPAPRODUCER Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 How are you able to use 24 bit drum files withing Logic, im trying to build a drum kit in the EXS24 right now with 24 bit wav files and Logic will not accept the files! What could be the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Logic will not accept the files! What could be the issue? Not the bit depth: Logic has no problem dealing with both 16 and 24 bit audio files. What sample rate are those wave files? How many channels? Where do they come from? Do you get an alert when you're trying to use them? What happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get an alert when you're trying to use them? What happens? the files are 16 bit, 24 bit and some are 32 bit even. some are stereo and some of the files are mono but they're all 44.1 files. they're custom made music producer kits purchased from some of the top soundclick producers websites. when i load them into the exs24 to build a kit it only loads a few of the sounds from the kit, im thinking the 16 bit ones. when i play those back the sounds are prolonged with this awful annoying airiness/distortion to them! what to do from here on out is the question even for the 24 bit files...

David Nahmani Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 the files are 16 bit, 24 bit and some are 32 bit even. Logic only supports 16 and 24 bit audio files. My guess is the 32 bit files are the ones creating the distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDOTDASUPAPRODUCER Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 i second that concerning the 32 bit files as well David, but the EXS24 isn't loading the 24 bit files though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
