The chosen analysis mode is highlighted.
If Additive, Spectral, or Granular mode is chosen, analysis may take a moment or two.
No analysis occurs when Sampler mode is used.
Note: If you want to perform an Add+Spec analysis, or want to perform a further
formant analysis of the audio material, use the Import browser methods discussed in
following tasks.
Replace the sound for Alchemy on a software instrument track using drag
and drop
1. In Logic Pro, drag an audio file, region, or Apple Loop to a software instrument track
with an Alchemy instrument plug-in as the instrument.
2. When the “Replace existing sound with” dialog appears, drag the item to one of the
available options to choose the synthesis type Alchemy uses to process the content:
Additive, Granular, or Spectral.
Import a single audio file into a source with the Import browser
1. In Logic Pro, open advanced view then click a source select field and choose Import
Audio from the pop-up menu to open the Import browser window.
2. Click one of the Analysis Mode buttons to choose an import analysis mode.
If the Additive, Spectral, or Add+Spec button is active, you can also turn on the Formant
button. This performs a further analysis of the audio material and sends the results to
the Analyzed section of the formant filter. See Logic Pro Alchemy formant filter controls.
If the audio data is imported to the additive, spectral, add+spectral, or granular
elements, analysis may take a moment or two. No analysis occurs when the Sampler
analysis mode button is active.
3. Click the Preview button to enable or disable automatic preview of selected files.
Sound files can be mono or stereo, 8-, 16-, 24-, or 32-bit, at any sample rate. Note that
rates above 44.1 kHz don’t provide significant improvements in quality.
4. Click a filename, then click the Import button to import the sound.
An import progress dialog is shown. The Import browser closes when the import is
complete, and the previous window is displayed.
