Hello.
I'm new to Logic Pro 8.
Do not know how to use almost anything.
I have a question (well, actually I have hundreds but this is the first one):
How I can get one .mp3 is played at a slower speed?
I would appreciate your response.

Hi,
Logic 9 has more tricks for this, but in Logic 8 you can use the Time & Pitch Machine for this.
By double clicking the mp3 region in the arrange window you enter the Sample Editor. Click Factory > Time and Pitch Machine.
If Time & Pitch Machine is greyed out, go back to the arrange window, and choose
Audio>ConvertRegionstoNewAudioFiles. This will be needed when the region is the original mp3 instead of a converted aif.
Hope this helps!
Regards, Jaap

Don't forget to read the manuals.... it is very important that you read the manuals and access the online help built into the program.
Ok, thanks, but not working.
I open the Sample Editor by double clicking on it .mp3, I select all .mp3 in the sample editor, then I open the Time and Pitch Factory Machine (all in gray), I lower the tempo and I give-and-paste process, I hopea little until recently and when I playing the .mp3 is still listening to the same original speed.
I must be doing something wrong.
Ok, thanks Pancenter, but I just started using Logic and with the aid manual and can not find the answer, because it is too long. I've signed up for a guitar coursefor country music and blues and the teacher sent us by mail at the melody. Mp3 for the practice at home before going to class and I need to simply reduce the playback speed to follow the tune because I'm still learning toplay guitar. Indeed, the issue is Kansas Travel and I really like.
I already know that the software Logic, does many things and little by little Istart learning with the help of the manual, but I think this must be something very simple and not do it.
Hi,
as I wrote in my 1st reply, the Time & Pitch Machine can sometimes be grayed out. This is because an mp3 itself cannot be edited directly in Logic because of it's compressed nature. In that case choose Audio>ConvertRegionstoNewAudioFiles. The region should be in aif or wav format in order to edit it.
What you can do also is that you download the Switch audio converter here: http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html and use that to make an aif. Beware that the sample rate should match that of your Logic project (Preferences > Audio)

Convert your MP3 to AIFF first, and let the AIFF replace the MP3:
Hit "B" to reveal the audio Bin. Select your MP3, then from the Local Menu Audio File choose Copy/Convert File(s), say Yes to Change File reference in Bin? and you're done.
Thanks Helfull:
All this I have done and still does not work.
thanks
Hi,
download http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Logic_Pro_8_User_Manual.pdf and read page 505 and further.
Another option might be the one described on 318.
Good luck!

When you type a letter b, that's where the "B" button (aka key) is... but since the mp3 is already converted, you don't need my conversion walkthrough anyway.
There are a few ways of speeding up an audio file: stretching it to a shorter(!) length, or using the Time and Pitch machine in the Sample/Wave Editor, or using flex, or, if the Audio File has a Follow Tempo checkbox, tick that and simply alter (accellerate) the project tempo. It's all in the manuals, which I believe also are available in Spanish.
OK, thanks Jaap an Eriksimon:
Yes, I have it in Spanish manual, what happens is that it is very long and do not understand many things it says.
Anyway I will see pages that tells me (505 and 318), and watch the video to show me.
I know that I ask to be a very simple thing, but I can not get it.
Anyway thank you for your help and look forward to having support in thisforum.
Thank you very much, greetings from Valencia, Spain, and have a good day.
Logic Pro 8 Slow one .mp3?
