Product Overview
Logic Express 8
Revolutionary Quick Swipe Comping
Quick Swipe comping dramatically streamlines the process of comping tracks. Rather
than cutting, moving, and muting regions, all you have to do is click and drag to select
the best sections of each take. This creates a perfectly seamless comp, complete with
transition-smoothing crossfades.
Easily change your comp selections by clicking alternative sections in any take. You
can save multiple comps and switch among them to pick the one you like best.
Powerful Audio Editing Features
New editing features in the Arrange window allow you to work with greater speed
and precision, without opening separate windows.
Snap-to-transient selection
Snap-to-transient selection lets you extend marquee selection borders to the next
or previous transient. This feature is particularly useful for fast, ecient drum editing
and sound replacement. Extend or reduce the length of the marquee selection by
snapping the start or end point of the marquee to transients in audio regions, note
on or note o positions in MIDI regions, or region start or end positions.
Graphically time stretch or compress audio
Logic Express allows you to visually time stretch or compress an audio region directly
in the Arrange area—without changing its pitch. Simply Option-drag the end point
of the region. You can choose one of the time compression algorithms provided with
Logic Express or use third-party options such as Serato Pitch ‘n Time or iZotope Radius.
