Use the Sampler Zone pane shortcut menu
In Logic Pro, you can use the shortcut menu to choose a number of sample-handling
commands. Control-click in the waveform display to access available options from the
shortcut menu.
Important: The shortcut menu is context-sensitive. The commands shown in the Zone
pane shortcut menu change when you click on different portions of the waveform display.
For example, you will see different Auto-Loop commands when you Control-click directly
on the yellow shaded loop area in the waveform display.
Auto-Loop: Analyzes the audio content and automatically sets a loop. You can use the
command multiple times to try different automatic loops.
Auto-Loop within loop area: Analyzes the audio content and automatically sets a loop
within the area defined by the loop start and end markers. You can use the command
multiple times to try shorter automatic loops.
Open in Audio File Editor: Opens the selected sample in the Logic Pro Audio File Editor,
or the sample editor chosen in the External Sample Editor preference. See Logic Pro
Audio File Editor.
Note: This command is available only when Destructive audio editing is enabled in the
Logic Pro preferences.
Re-Analyze Transients and Tempo: Analyzes the audio content and corrects transient or
tempo changes caused by incorrect tempo data written in the file header, unexpected
results from Flex use, or other tempo and transient manipulations, for example.
Crop Loop: Crops (cuts) the portion(s) of the sample outside the loop start and end
markers.
Note: The “Crop” commands don’t modify or cut existing files. New files are created
and are used in place of the original files.
Crop Sample: Crops (cuts) the portion(s) of the sample outside the start and end
markers.
Write Sample Loop to Audio File: Saves the loop data to the file header of the audio file.
Optimize Sample Gain: Analyzes the audio content and sets automatic gain values.
Linear or Equal Power Crossfade: Sets the crossfade gain value behavior.
Display Seconds/Sample/Beats Units: Shows time, sample, or bar/beat values in the
waveform display.
Display Stereo Channels/Mono Sum: Shows a stereo or summed mono waveform view in
the waveform display.
