Scissors Tool issue (not cutting on Bar)

Several Logic Pro users have reported that the Scissors Tool misbehaves when working with audio files that originated from a different sample rate, even after conversion to match the project settings. A few things to try.

• Export the audio file from Logic as a new file at the project’s sample rate, then re-import it. This seems to reset the internal timing grid.
• Bounce in place or use “Convert to New Audio File” to force Logic to re-render the waveform.
• Check Snap settings in both the Tracks Area and Audio Editor—they can differ and cause confusion.
• Avoid dragging in files directly from Finder if they’re mismatched in sample rate. Use Logic’s import dialog to ensure proper conversion.

Another point.

If you’re working with exotic instruments or third-party sample libraries recorded at odd rates (like 96kHz or 32kHz), always convert them externally first using a tool like RX Audio Editor or Audacity, then bring them into Logic.

Your Snap to Grid in the Audio Editor differs from the Snap to Grid in the Tracks Area.

This means you can have different settings within those two different areas. Can you confirm that your snap to grid settings are correct for each designated area?

What if you position the Playhead where you want the Scissors Tool to cut? That always works for me.
