ummm... that's not sampling. it's already sampled if it's already been recorded and digitized. Sampling IS digitizing from the analogue environment. Just saying...
when you assign a sample to the keyboard..do you have to hold down each key for the duration of the sample, or can you hit once and hear the full sample. For example, if I cut up my samples into sections of 4 measures, and assigned it to C, would all four bars play with one stroke of Key C, or would I have to hold down C for the entire 4 bars?
@dyc1000 Actually the default preset for Key Commands is for a keyboard with a numeric pad...you have to use the \ on the num pad. BUT, you can change the preset to a plain US Keyboard, and it will have the \ loaded in, plus some other handy modifications. It's under Options > Presets > US in the Key Command menu (option - K)
@kbouland2 to mute the original track: press mute on the audio channel or you can select the original audio file's region and press m on you keyboard to mute out the original track you sampled from.
@sanchez63636 it works for both express and pro as far as I know. you may want to look at my other video for chopping samples in logic express 8, if this method doesn' t work for you.

FOLLOW-UP TO MY PREVIOUS POST: OK, i figured out how to get the sample to work on the Logic CAPSLOCK keyboard, but how can i get the sounds to play on my actual plugged in keyboard?
I just did exactly what you said and it worked fine until i after i converted to sample track --> regions. i pressed on my external keyboard and no sounds of the sample i made play. i tried the "capslock logic keyboard" as well and none of the samples played, the only way i was able to hear the chopped sound was by clicking on the little piano keys down by where the red line is? what am i doing wrong?
p.s. i tested out the keyboard on a logic instrument (the organ for example) and it worked.
hey thanks a lot for this vid, helped a lot. i have some trouble however, when i import from my music library, i have about a 10 percent success rate. the tracks either just dont transfer to midi or the notes come through CLIPPING hard. its a huge bummer. any thoughts from the people?
yo i cant right click? my mouse is jus the regular mac mouse so i cant get the convert to transient file thing to pop up. Is there another way to do this? thanks
Disregard the last question but when u sample in transient method there are only certain sounds from the song captured. Is there a way to pull up the other sounds and assign them 2 keys?
I am a beginner to Logic Pro I am very interested in this software because I see that it is powerful and ver user friendly.But the problem I am having is chopping up my samples.I want everybody to know that the US preset setting does allow you to use forward slash to chop samples.My problem now is I can drag the music into my logic pro but I can't hear it at all.I have never been able to hear nothing that I drag into logic.PLEASE HELP!
Using the transient method, once the song has been broken down & assigned to keys how do I record what I am playing without the original song playing also? When I mute the original song there are no sounds on the keys.
@ThaPhenomKid just go to the itunes file in your browser and pick the song you want to sample and drag it into your arrangement page. You can't sample protected files because of security encryption. most itunes songs downloaded before 2009 have been encrypted to prevent pirating but most songs after downloaded 2008 aren't encrypted. so you should be fine chopping them up.
I wonder why people would choose mpc sampling over this? The only thing I can imagine is the hardware feel you get with an mpc. In my opinion sampling in logic is way more practical! thanks for the vid
@eliezerb1 you can sample yourself but you may have to bounce your mp3 files into a .wav file to playback in the exs24. If I remember correctly the exs24 won't read mp3 files. logic does tho
@eliezerb1 Dragging an mp3 file from the browser into the arrange window automatically creates an aif file (a file size around 5 times larger) of your mp3 file (which won't get deleted). this aif can then be sampled and bounced to a wav or whatever your intentions are
@MrArmen1157 make sure you have the audio file you are going to sample from highlighted then right click and it should be the same way that I explained in my video. if that doesn't help, i can only think it may be a bug. I would check out my other tuts, maybe they may help. thanks. please sub
Is there a way to assign the same sample over a region to play it like an instrument? I'd want it to change in pitch. For example: original sample on C2. Have it sound a bit higher at D2, etc...
@pwmusic Hear Hear - Thank you for your work! I have learnt more about sampling in this with you in one night than hell knows how long. Keep up the good work!
This is a good tutorial. Similar to the just blaze method but his took longer. What I've found over my course of sampling various things, is a lot of beats (especially motown) are very humanized and vary in tempo at specific portions of the track, so you've got to tweek the sample divisons. very dope vid though.
@cheezyChrons in your sampler editor, under the header playback, make sure the only clicked box is one-shot. Make sure the loop box and reverse box are unchecked. this should allow one-shot to work.
I did what you said on the video but when the exs24 track has created i can't play with the sample neither on my keyboard nor on the capslock keyboard. I would apprecciate if you could help me
@csuti look at the note your sample is assigned to on the sample editor. hit the keys or keyboard while the sample editor is up and look at which key is triggered when you hit them. the block above the keys are your sample. you want to trigger the key that has the sample above it. also make sure you don't have the channel strip on surround sound. they look like five dots and will say surround right under the exs24 sampler name. for some reason logic doesn't sound in the exs24 in surround sound.
hit the capslock key to make the keyboard pop up. make sure you hit the number 1 to set it at the correct octave or you won't get any sound if your samples start a c1@nenakkuallrac
@jahliv9 Its easy. The samples are arranged from the far left corner all the way up to the top left corner. the 1st sample will be assigned to c1 as it defaults on the EXS24 sampler editor.
@ThatsAGoodVideo read your manual and look for midi hook up. you might have to change your keyboard to usb to midi. If your keyboard is already working to trigger other instruments, make sure you are hitting the right keys.
seriously this was great help. I stopped the video at 1:00 in and was able to make my first track with samples. you can check it out on my page. now too watch the rest of the video lol... thanks for posting!
@pearlplayah I don't know how to share screens but try full screen and it should help. also go to my first tutorial logic 8 made easy: Chopping n the EXS24 sampler instrument. If your buttons are not allowing you to chop samples with the keys look at my tutorial: How to set up sample chops (split regions) in logic. If you need farther assistance after those tuts send me an message or comment.
Great tutorial! Hoever, I just did everything you did and it worked great, except when I hit caps lock to bring up the computer keyboard midi controls, the chopped samples won't play like yours did. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for help in advance!
You have to change the octave on the keyboard. you do that by pressing one of the numbers on the key board. press 1 and look where it says octave and change it to one.
New Logic Express 9 user here! Send help, lol! This is all new to me. I'm been a drummer for 20 years, and now want to make my own music, so I bought Logic for my new imac. Should I read through the manual? Any advice for a rookie?
play with logic and watch as many SFlogic Ninja youtube Tuts as possible. the manual is ok but I find the logic video tuts are more helpful. also check out imamusicmogul youtube page. he has free tuts as well. the best way to learn is to do. Also winksound has tons of tuts. the apple forum has logic support there as well. you can get questions answer there as well report bugs. go to support and type in logic in the search area. If you have any questions, I'll try to help as best as I can.
I was wondering if anyone could answer a very basic question that I have. When sampling if i wanted to match the project tempo with the sample tempo, how would I go about doing this?
On the track where you load the original track in which you are sampling from. click on inserts in the instrument are and choose metering. then select bpm counter. now play the track. the bpm counter will tell the bpm in the track, which is the tempo. when you find out the bpm from the counter change the bpm for your overall project at the bottom of the screen in the display bar. the default setting for all new projects is 120.
Thank you for the swift reply.. I have tried this method but for some reason the BPM count is not accurate (it is reading a real slow song like Chaka Khan- through the fire at like 130 BPM) ..
My problem is that I have uploaded a track which i wish to sample and I just can not seem to find a way to get the tempo before i slice it up.... Another issue that I am having is that once i pitch up my sample it no longer fits in with the BPM count??
The BPM counter works good with tracks that have drum tracks with them. Most old school music like Chaka Khan and music of the 70's was not played to a grid like todays music. So the tempo of the song may be harder detect because of the human factor of drum playing. The best option for you to detect the actual sample BPM is to beat map the song. I would look at SFlogic Ninja's tutorial labeled beatamapping. Hopefully that helps you. If I find a better way to detect the BPM. I'll post a tut.
Also often with playing samples, It is easier to play the samples first and then lay down the drums since samples can very in length. Hopefully this helps.
Also check to make sure that the pitch is unclicked in the playback area of the EXS24 sampler instrument. You do this by going to the EXS24 editor by clicking edit on the EXS24 sampler. Then go to playback and unclick pitch. Pitch playback corresponds with the key on the piano roll. As the keys go up or down on the keyboard so does the tempo of the sample. You can control the overall playback of all the samples at the same pitch by using the tune button on the surface of the EXS24 sampler.
Also try using the Flex tool to adjust the sample to the same tempo. Winksound's youtube page offers a tut on using the flex tool in logic and many other music programs. I will try and post a tut soon. I still learning the ins and outs of using the flex tool.
Thank for the help guys worked a treat. I have another inquiry, Whenever I finish using logic and then go back to it at a later point to carry on with a project I receive a notice that reads (EXS24 instrument "10 feel so at home here_1" not found.). Also none of the instruments play which means the whole song is ruined. Am I doing something wrong here? I have attatched an image to the email to show the error.
Sometimes Logic loses samples stored in the EXS24 sampler. When I say this, the samples are still on your computer but for some reason the EXS24 sampler can not locate them. 1st try opening and closing logic a couple times maybe this will allow the EXS sampler to be reset. But as a rule of thumb for any project you work in the future: ALWAYS save your assets initially in your song's project folder. When you start a new project it gives you the option to save samples to that project folder.
There is also a thread on the apple forum under support for logic. I have had this problem before too. It sucks. But also try to locate your sample thru the EXS24 sampler on your hard drive or external hard drive. I'll also find the thread and try to email it to our at least point you in the right direction.
It's probably because your using an MP3, or a WAV. Which usually have a slither of silence at the beginning. You've got to chop that bit off, which is usually milliseconds before the song, and then the song will fit right with the projects tempo.
appreciate the video man youre good at teaching. it was easy to follow. im new to logic so im lookin for all resources. ill try to contact you if i get stuck so hit me bck
glad i can help. Also check out winksound for other excellent production tips. I also have other production tips on my channel if you need further help.
Is there a way to set that mono setting only for one key at the time? Like - I play sample on one key and it stops and starts again if I press key twice but allowing to overlay if I press another key.
It sounds like you want to loop. uncheck the one shot option in your exs24 sampler editor window and choose loop. as long as you have the key pressed down the sample will loop. if you want to loop a sample hands free. buy a sustaining pedal.if you want a sample to play at the same time as another you must have your exs24 set to poly, which means multiple sounds. I will post video shortly to address your problem. thanks
Not exactly. I want the sample break in the middle by pressing the key again. It seems that only way for my problem is to make groups for each sample and set poly to 1.
that sounds like the only possibility I can think of. I would suggested the same thing. you can chop the sample where you want the overlay to begin or end. you can also layer your samples by simply dragging them over one another in the editor.
nice tutorial, thanks!

@jahliv9 Its easy. The samples are arranged from the far left corner all the way up to the top left corner. the 1st sample will be assigned to c1 as it defaults on the EXS24 sampler editor.

i have a casio keyboard hooked up with a usb how come when i press the keys it does not trigger the samples?
ThatsAGoodVideo 1 year ago
@ThatsAGoodVideo read your manual and look for midi hook up. you might have to change your keyboard to usb to midi. If your keyboard is already working to trigger other instruments, make sure you are hitting the right keys.

okay so, mine didnt work at all. is there a way where you can share sreens with me 2 do this?
pearlplayah 2 years ago
@pearlplayah I don't know how to share screens but try full screen and it should help. also go to my first tutorial logic 8 made easy: Chopping n the EXS24 sampler instrument. If your buttons are not allowing you to chop samples with the keys look at my tutorial: How to set up sample chops (split regions) in logic. If you need farther assistance after those tuts send me an message or comment.

Great tutorial! Hoever, I just did everything you did and it worked great, except when I hit caps lock to bring up the computer keyboard midi controls, the chopped samples won't play like yours did. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for help in advance!

You have to change the octave on the keyboard. you do that by pressing one of the numbers on the key board. press 1 and look where it says octave and change it to one.

New Logic Express 9 user here! Send help, lol! This is all new to me. I'm been a drummer for 20 years, and now want to make my own music, so I bought Logic for my new imac. Should I read through the manual? Any advice for a rookie?
Thank you. peace
chessdude67 2 years ago
play with logic and watch as many SFlogic Ninja youtube Tuts as possible. the manual is ok but I find the logic video tuts are more helpful. also check out imamusicmogul youtube page. he has free tuts as well. the best way to learn is to do. Also winksound has tons of tuts. the apple forum has logic support there as well. you can get questions answer there as well report bugs. go to support and type in logic in the search area. If you have any questions, I'll try to help as best as I can.

Hey,
I was wondering if anyone could answer a very basic question that I have. When sampling if i wanted to match the project tempo with the sample tempo, how would I go about doing this?
krimz88 2 years ago
On the track where you load the original track in which you are sampling from. click on inserts in the instrument are and choose metering. then select bpm counter. now play the track. the bpm counter will tell the bpm in the track, which is the tempo. when you find out the bpm from the counter change the bpm for your overall project at the bottom of the screen in the display bar. the default setting for all new projects is 120.
dyc1000 2 years ago
Thank you for the swift reply.. I have tried this method but for some reason the BPM count is not accurate (it is reading a real slow song like Chaka Khan- through the fire at like 130 BPM) ..
My problem is that I have uploaded a track which i wish to sample and I just can not seem to find a way to get the tempo before i slice it up.... Another issue that I am having is that once i pitch up my sample it no longer fits in with the BPM count??
krimz88 2 years ago
The BPM counter works good with tracks that have drum tracks with them. Most old school music like Chaka Khan and music of the 70's was not played to a grid like todays music. So the tempo of the song may be harder detect because of the human factor of drum playing. The best option for you to detect the actual sample BPM is to beat map the song. I would look at SFlogic Ninja's tutorial labeled beatamapping. Hopefully that helps you. If I find a better way to detect the BPM. I'll post a tut.
dyc1000 2 years ago
Also often with playing samples, It is easier to play the samples first and then lay down the drums since samples can very in length. Hopefully this helps.
dyc1000 2 years ago
Also check to make sure that the pitch is unclicked in the playback area of the EXS24 sampler instrument. You do this by going to the EXS24 editor by clicking edit on the EXS24 sampler. Then go to playback and unclick pitch. Pitch playback corresponds with the key on the piano roll. As the keys go up or down on the keyboard so does the tempo of the sample. You can control the overall playback of all the samples at the same pitch by using the tune button on the surface of the EXS24 sampler.
dyc1000 2 years ago
Also try using the Flex tool to adjust the sample to the same tempo. Winksound's youtube page offers a tut on using the flex tool in logic and many other music programs. I will try and post a tut soon. I still learning the ins and outs of using the flex tool.
dyc1000 2 years ago
Thank for the help guys worked a treat. I have another inquiry, Whenever I finish using logic and then go back to it at a later point to carry on with a project I receive a notice that reads (EXS24 instrument "10 feel so at home here_1" not found.). Also none of the instruments play which means the whole song is ruined. Am I doing something wrong here? I have attatched an image to the email to show the error.
krimz88 2 years ago
Sometimes Logic loses samples stored in the EXS24 sampler. When I say this, the samples are still on your computer but for some reason the EXS24 sampler can not locate them. 1st try opening and closing logic a couple times maybe this will allow the EXS sampler to be reset. But as a rule of thumb for any project you work in the future: ALWAYS save your assets initially in your song's project folder. When you start a new project it gives you the option to save samples to that project folder.
dyc1000 2 years ago
There is also a thread on the apple forum under support for logic. I have had this problem before too. It sucks. But also try to locate your sample thru the EXS24 sampler on your hard drive or external hard drive. I'll also find the thread and try to email it to our at least point you in the right direction.
dyc1000 2 years ago
It's probably because your using an MP3, or a WAV. Which usually have a slither of silence at the beginning. You've got to chop that bit off, which is usually milliseconds before the song, and then the song will fit right with the projects tempo.

Is there a way to set that mono setting only for one key at the time? Like - I play sample on one key and it stops and starts again if I press key twice but allowing to overlay if I press another key.
mdjey2 2 years ago
It sounds like you want to loop. uncheck the one shot option in your exs24 sampler editor window and choose loop. as long as you have the key pressed down the sample will loop. if you want to loop a sample hands free. buy a sustaining pedal.if you want a sample to play at the same time as another you must have your exs24 set to poly, which means multiple sounds. I will post video shortly to address your problem. thanks
dyc1000 2 years ago
Not exactly. I want the sample break in the middle by pressing the key again. It seems that only way for my problem is to make groups for each sample and set poly to 1.
mdjey2 2 years ago
that sounds like the only possibility I can think of. I would suggested the same thing. you can chop the sample where you want the overlay to begin or end. you can also layer your samples by simply dragging them over one another in the editor.
