Excuse me, but I was not being sarcastic or joking. It appears you misinterpreted my reply.
Yeah that works, ta.
It's not a file manager as such that I'm frustrated about (though Koala has one, and Logic does have one but excludes external files), it's the ability to click on the load audio file section of a sampler instrument (for example 'quick' sampler) and for it to open and allow me to browse and have access to all files on my iPad, rather than sandboxing me in to just the Logic stuff.
So just one random example: Bleass Samplewiz - click 'load sample', and it brings up the file browser so I can select an audio file from anywhere on my iPad. No opening Files app and engaging slide-over, no shoving it to one side and keeping it open, no limiting me to just Logic content. Just one click. Done.
How do you load files into the new Final Cut Pro on iPad?
Do they use the Files app there also?
Haven’t downloaded Final Cut yet, although I’m curious what Apple have baked there…
I compare the Files app to what we had before on iOS. That was much, much more difficult to work with. iOS/iPadOS is an evolving product and probably always will be, because standards and expectations will continue to evolve. What we have today is practically miraculous.
I'm not sure. Will look into it. I see where this could be useful, meanwhile, try sliding it over on the left side, so it's exactly over Logic's browser and you drag files to the right :P
Hahaha... it reminds me of Steve Jobs "You're holding it wrong". Man that guy had balls!
Do you have Files in your dock? Then you can hold it and slide it over directly.
Yes but the dock isn’t visible when I’m in Logic, so I have to slide up Logic to open the Files app.
That is simply is not true!
Why so negative? Files app is nearly almost not a whole lot worse than Windows 98 file explorer. What exactly are you expecting after only 25 years? 🙄
If you do a smaller slide up from the bottom, the dock should appear over the top of Logic. It’s not exactly a workflow saver but might save you a couple of taps/gestures.
But if you slide up from the bottom of your screen the dock should appear while Logic stays full screen.
Filesapp drama cracks me up. of file management systems are borderline terrible imo….but amongst these Filesapp is my preferred. it’s the best of the worst.
Ah jeez, great idea 😂 😂 😂 fuck me
Thing is, sometimes you need it on the right side. But! I was playing around just now and discovered that if you drag down on the file before sliding it left you can generally get a quick drag without triggering the delete slider. Give it a try @krupa!
Haha I hadn’t thought of putting it on the left side either
Yet I find having Sample Crate open in slide over my preferred method for sample import on any app that supports drag and drop… IMHO it is quicker, easier and provides immediate audio and midi preview…
I don’t know of any other apps file import process that works as easily…
Sure, loading a kit, dragging multiple files from Files or a similar third-party app is quicker than importing multiple samples individually, but that’s not what I’m talking about. Loading samples into a sampler:
Click ‘load sample’. Select sample. Play.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fuck it up.
Are we seriously still defending this crap?
Swipe left. Select sample. Play.
Isn’t that the same?
Oh, and you can preview too, in Sample Crate…
actually my bad….it looks like some of these are hidden in surface settings…at least the performance aspects like sliding violin strings…i even found appropriate controllers for the asian instruments with selectable articulations
Since I have since 2 days Sample Crate that change a lot better my experience with sample management not only in Logic but with many music apps. Only 3 $ and it worth it .
It is also a great way to organize all your sample as stock samples or to do a music project. Thanks to some here that advise to use it
It’s not the same, it’s a workflow cludge, as I’ve already explained in earlier comments.
Musicians looking to play virtual stringed instruments will expect the playing surface to behave like the real thing: sliding of notes for violins for example, or fretless basses as another example.
Preset trills, short portamento’s and other set articulations are all very nice, but some musicians will want to be able to control the amount of note slide themselves, on the playing surface.
A preset emulation is not the same as playing it yourself. Personally I find them completely naff.
Actually, just checked - the tiny selection of stringed world instruments do allow sliding. But for some reason it’s not available in the Studio Strings.
The best is to play a real violin and record you playing within LP iOS. It is the way great pro recording go Eve;fit pop music. Synth or modeling will not replace a real instrument. I still love to play sometimes on a physical piano.
Yeah, I could spend a few years learning the violin so I can slide notes. Or use GarageBand instead.
'> @monz0id said:
Do you mean polyphonic pitchbend? You can set that up for the strings in the surface settings even though it’s not on as default.
Oh, that’s a buzz kill - you have my moral support, c’mon Apple get this sorted!
I can’t see that in the violin settings, but this should be a default anyway.
Basically, a violin (I was married to a violinist for 12 years and mucked about on her violin when she wasn’t looking) fingerboard has no frets, so you can slide notes up and down, with a smooth transition between notes. Apps like ThumbJam and GarageBand have supported this option for years now.
You don’t play real stringed instruments via a piano keyboard, or guitar fretboard, so whereas GarageBand emulates the natural playing surface, it’s missing in Logic ‘Pro’.
I’ve just tried the ‘Geoshred hack’, and it still doesn’t provide note sliding, so I think this is a limitation in the instruments themselves, as opposed to a missing playing surface option.
It's not in the violin settings, it's in the keyboard settings. Open the keyboard, click on the 3 dots, then surface settings, then select polyphonic pitchblend.
If you want something that responds well to pitchbend, modelled is usually better than sampled. Perhaps try the SWAM instruments.
Anyone know if the ES2 built in synth is supposed to be a sort of clone of the DW8000? Has a very 80s hybrid sound to it plus all the digital waves in the oscillator section.
It’s definitely on my to buy list. Do you have to manually move your samples or does it sync to the files app automatically?
Yeah for the studio strings I find the GB implementation better from a surface perspective however for the erhu, guzheng etc I’m relieved the new surfaces in LP get the job done performance wise and sonically.
That said the studio strings and horns in LP sound higher quality from a sampling perspective. (It’s been written from time to time that many of GB’s internal instruments run at significantly reduced sample rate )
