Hello

I like to record music in small parts on a single stereo track on a
CD-recorder.
Then I would like to import the bites and comp them in Logic.
What is the best workflow?

with regards

Leif

You will need an A/D converter somewhere in the
workflow to take the analog cassette playback signal
and digitize it for computer-based editing.

The "workflow" seems straightforward and obvious unless we are
missing some other aspect of the question you didn't mention?

Actually, he didn't mention he was using a cassette, he said a CD
recorder. Which means he can just put the CD in his computer after it's
fixed up and import the audio. Can't get more straightforward and
obvious than that :-)

Where did you invent an analogue cassette from in his question?

I use this method now:
Importing the files to the media area.
Using the default:
New-Produce-2track stereo
Then i put f. eks. bite 1 on track one
and bite 2 on tracvk to. I use the arrow
to move the regions so they fit together.
I use the marquee tool to select what I don't want
in the mix and cut away. Then I du a little
crossfade to make a smooth cut. It works
But: is there an easier way doing this work?!

What part of that do you find hard? Seems a sensible and simple way
of doing it. In fact I can't think of any OTHER way.

Your procedure seems pretty easy to me. What part do you find burdensome
or would rather not have to do? I'm not sure what you mean by "i put f.
eks. bite 1 on track one and bite 2 on tracvk to." but I guess it has
something to do with some processing that you like to do to make it
sound better.

The only thing I'd do differently, if I followed you correctly, is to
combine the segments and do the edits directly after you get the audio
imported into Logic. Then you can do your effect processing,
equalization and whatever else you do to the complete, edited song
rather than doing it in pieces. Generally that works best for classical
music.

Bzzzzt! Now that I read it again I have no idea where I got the
cassette impression. I shouldn't post to Usenet after driving
straight through for 5 hours. :-/

Skip the CD recorder and record directly into logic?
