Using the Sample Editor’s Groove Machine<br />

You can use the Groove Machine to alter the feel, swing, or groove of digital audio material,<br />

in percentage steps. In other words, this tool can quantize straight audio!<br />

You can also strictly quantize audio that “grooves a little too much” with the Quantize<br />

Engine (see Using the Sample Editor’s Quantize Engine).<br />

Opening the Sample Editor’s Groove Machine<br />

You need to select an area within an audio file before you can open the Groove Machine.<br />

Important: Before you open the Groove Machine you should ensure that the tempo of<br />

<strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> exactly matches that of the selected audio material, or the Groove Machine<br />

won’t work accurately. You can, however, set the tempo and length directly in the Groove<br />

Machine, using the “Corresponds with Tempo” and To Bar Length parameters.<br />

To open the Groove Machine<br />

1 Select the area of the audio region in the Sample Editor that you want to process through<br />

the Groove Machine.<br />

2 Choose Factory > Groove Machine (or use the corresponding key command).<br />

Note: Any changes you make to the settings will be reflected in the graphical display.<br />
