Help me with Logic!

[Sean in Silence]

So I recently switched over to Logic Express 8, as Reaper just isn't stable enough on my mac for me to record bands.
In Reaper I was able to just hold alt and drag the end or beginning of a file to change the speed of the clip to fit whatever length it needed to be.
How would I do something similar to this in Logic?
thanks!

eh - you mean stretch the file? wont you get all sorts of tempo and pitch problems?

Use Flex mode and stretch it in Flex view.

note: flex it too much and its going to sound fucked up

I use logic express 8 and the function I've used for this is the time and pitch machine in the sample editor window. I've had varying degrees of success with it (anything over a 15% increase sounds terrible.) There are different settings you can use to try to get it sound more realistic, but again, too much makes it fuck up.

Holy shit, never knew you could do that in Reaper. Thanks!
