Apple loop playback question

If I have an apple loop which I want to play at twice the tempo of the song I'm using it in, how do I do it? My song is at 80 bpm and when I drop my apple loop in I want it to play back at 160 bpm not 80 bpm. Is there an easy way to do this?

- solo the audio track w/ loop in it
- set logic to 160 bpm
- bounce the loop & add to audio window
- set logic back to 80 bpm, create new audio track & insert bounced audio
- un-solo

  • Apple Loops Utility Question

    Can you some how bring up the selected transient spots of a created apple loop into Logic for chopping purposes? then import them into an exs instrument? and if so will the chops adjust accordingly when the tempo is changed on the transport?
    thanks
    Dah

    No,
    If you want to do that , you need to get Recycle from Propellerheads.
    The guys who make Reason,
    With Recycle, you can open a Wave or Aiff file, make the slice markers and save it as a Rex file.
    You can import a Rex file into EXS and do what you describe.

  • Apple loops location question

    why do some of the loops in the (assumed to be) default folder not appear in the garageband loop browser.
    no drums seem to appear in the loop browser...

    And when you click the "Drums" button, absolutely nothing shows up?

  • Apple Loop Playback problem  ok only at 44.1k

    Aloha, Just discovered after having all my loops reindex themselves all by itself and throw out all of my imported ones, I have found that the loops "skip" {don't play all of file} unless my Session is at 44.1. Of course I have been running at 96k. Won't play right at 48 either and is not a Logic 32 or 64 bit issue. Used to play back ok but since last OSX update this starting happening to me and others. Loops play fine dragged on to track. Garageband is on;y 44.1 so no problem. Anyone else Have the same issue? I think it is an OSX bug that will drive us LOgic folks crazy.. Loop browser is not operating at any other level than 44.1.

    Anyone else Have the same issue?
    Yes, this is a known bug with previewing loops in the Loops browser (when your project is not set to 44.1). The best you can do is drag them into Arrange for the purpose of previewing them. As you mentioned, they play fine once they're in the Arrange window.
    Either that, or just stick with 44.1. It's too bad, but that's the way it is right now.

  • Apple Loops rights

    An other Apple Loops copyright question:
    Let's say I use some Apple Loops in a 5 min contest video in order to sell it to the contest host (So he has a reference for this years contest). Might be uploaded on youtube + their site.. Would that be a problem?
    Description of usage:
    I have two Apple Loops and one of my own samples playing on and off, but the two Apple Loops have more playtime and they're at a low volume when people speak and such which is for the most part of the video. They fade out come in again etc.
    These two audio files (Apple Loops) including my own sample, have nothing done to them other than being mixed and arranged in one track.
    Other than that, no further self compositions added. And if it makes any difference, my own sample is played in the middle of the video.
    So, one Apple Loop in the beginning section mine in the middle and another Apple Loop at the end section.
    Is this to repackage them as music beds (Illegal)?
    Or is the "soundtrack" original (Am I cleared)?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Apple Loops Questions

    1) Where does Logic store user-created loops that I've added to the library?
    2) What is the easiest/best way to convert a regular .aiff or .wav file into an apple loop?
    3) I'm getting a lot of artifacts when I use loops I created--even when the loop is being played back at the same tempo as the original! Is this normal? You'd think that if the original cut was 120 BPM, and I turn it into an Apple loop, and stick it into another project at 120 BPM, there should be no artifacts, right?
    4) Sometimes when I click "add to loop library" Logic won't let me select "looping" as an option. This is after I've already analyzed the cut in Apple Loops Utility. What's up with that?
    Any help, insight or guidance would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    1/ apple loops folder / check them ....
    I see folders for all Apple's loops and jam packs, but nothing for my loops.
    Edit: Found them They are at:
    ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops
    Before I was checking the root /Library, which is why I couldn't find them.
    2/ apple loop utility application / check it ...
    I have been using it, but considering the strange behavior I'm getting (see question #3 and #4) I think I might be missing a step or doing it wrong. Right now I open an audio selection in Apple Loops Utility, fill in the tags, mess around with the transient sensitivity, then "save." So why can't I add it as a loop after that?
    3/ no of course.
    Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
    4/ add to appleloop library doesn't mean it is converted, check appleloop utilty first then add them to the Lib
    I did use the loop utility first. I mentioned that in my original post.

  • APPLE lOOP QUESTION

    Hey everyone,
    I bought a sample pack and its states its apple loop compatible, would anyone be able to explain the simplest way to install them as actual apple loops, its 750 mb.
    Is there a quick way to do them all at the same time? Thanks alot.
    Jason

    Hi Jason,
    If they are not packed in any way (.zip, .sit, .dmg etc.) you could simply move the folder containing the loops anywhere you like on any attached HD, open Logic and drag 'n drop your new loops folder onto the Loop browser. Logic indexes 'm, and they will be ready for use after a few minutes.
    regards, Erik.

  • Play Apple Loops "in the mix" is slow / unusable

    Hello All
    I used Apple Loops for quite a while now within my projects. In the earlier versions it was possible to listen to apple loops while playing in the mix and switching the the next loop was allmost in realtime.
    *PROBLEM NOW* : while the sequencer is not running, i can prelisten all the apple loops and switch beetween them in realtime, while the sequencer is playing, the loops take up to 4 bars until they play / change.
    Anyone else ? Played allready with the latency settings and buffer size and so on.
    Any advice would be welcome.
    Daniel

    I would also like to know the answer to this question if you've figured it out. Thanks.

  • Apple Loops from Regions problem...

    Greetings,
        Having a problem when I add a region to Apple Loops in Logic Express 8....
          I've read some similar threads, but nothing that answers these issues..
        After creating a region using the Ultrabeat or a synth (all internal), I'll select the region and go up
           to the 'Region' drop down menu and select the first option, 'Add to apple loops library'...
         I came across this process naturally and it seemed to work fine, but then some of the loops created
             acted differently than others.  When I drag some of them into the Arrage area, and press play,
                they will playback no matter what position they are at.
            For example if I have a beat that starts at 1., but I have the recently added 'problem' loop at 4.,
              this 'problem' loop will play back from 1 as well, no matter if it's at 4, or 24...
           I'm not sure why this is happening to some and not others....???
              Did i accidentally do something to these that I didn't do to the others?
           Also, I figured I'd just delete them and create new ones, but then I couldn't find them ANYWHERE
              on my harddrive!!!???   I really don't get this one...
             I've read about the Apple Loops Utility now and I guess i should use that for future loop creation?
                I really don't understand how the loops I made are no where to be found, not even in the
                     Apple Loops/User Loops folder....
             Would really, really appreciate if someone could help w/ this conundrum!

    Ouch.... That's a real bummer.
    I would recommend trying the "re-conversion" with just a few loops and seeing how it works for you. I've had to do this before as well. I had a library from L7 that I had converted using ALU inside L8's arrange window. For some reason, the loops that I had never used in that project that I had converted were not converted after I deleted the project that I used them in... make sense? not to me either....
    The whole Apple Loop Utility is awesomely useful sometimes and buggy to the point of frustration at others....
    Also, is there any consistent pattern to the "off-timeiness" of the loops? (i.e: only midi loops, only audio loops, only slows down, only speeds up, "choppy", etc...)

  • Tempo setting when creating Apple Loops (Utility)

    Having chopped a long audio file (drum track) into exact bar/beat settings, saved as separate audio files, I'm having trouble with tempo settings when creating Loops in Apple Loops Utility.
    The problem is that after saving a looped file (from the Utility), upon loading that loop file into the Utility again, the (interpreted) tempo of the file is now doubled, which really screws up playback and placement of the loop file.
    For example, my original tempo is 72bpm. I save the files as Looping, with the correct number of beats for each file (4 for a 1 bar file, 8 for 2 bars, etc.), and the tempo in the info section on the right side of the Utility correctly shows 72bpm. After saving the file as a loop, and then opening it again in the Utility, suddenly the tempo shows 144, and playback is at half speed.
    Oddly, I was able to successfully do this to another track from a song at a faster tempo. In that case, the loop files open as expected. And I'm using exactly the same process this time... humm???
    How can I get around this?

    Hi, thanks for the tip.
    In this case, I have not added the loop to the loop library. Therefore it is not in the browser.
    If I drag it from the audio bin, however, sometimes it will work. Other times it does not. I cannot seem to find a "cause and effect" here.
    Thanks.
    What version of Logic are you running. It works fine for me on Logic 9.1.3 in 32-bit mode. I seem to remember having the same problem as you're experiencing in Logic 8.0.2

  • Apple loops in .AIFF ?

    Hi !
    Ok, me and my friend, we were having fun, jammin with logic pro 8 , and then suprisingly, I realized that I couldn't edite destructively apple loops. I learned that it was because of the .caf extention, and that compressed audio file cannot be edited destructively, then that I have to bounce then, convert them in .wav or aiff, etc ...
    But the subject of this topic is something else :
    My friend actually could edit the apple loops without convert them.
    So we just checked his apple loops folder (in is HD, not his user home), and we were really suprised to find all the apple loops in ... .AIFF format !
    so our question is : how do you think it happend ? because my friend has no idea how come his apple loops are in .aiff
    Is it normal ?
    is there a precess to do that.
    It seems that it's more convenient to have the apple loops in .aiff
    Is there any problem that we didn't see yet about that ?
    thanks guys

    Logic 7 and Garageband apple loops, prior to iLife 08, all used .aif files. so most likely your friend already had those jam packs installed before upgrading to Logic 8

  • Loop Browser - Removing files/folders not indexed in the Apple Loops Index

    Hi...
    I experimented with dragging in a SFX folder to the Logic Pro Loop Browser window. It asked me if I wanted to copy files to the Apple Loops folder or reference the original files, and I selected reference the originasl files.
    The SFX files were then listed under the OTHER area of the View menu.
    Question... HOW do I remove these SFX files/folder from the OTHER view menu?
    I have tried deleting all of the Apple Loop Index files and that did not work.
    I have tried deleting the actual SFX files/folders, and after they disappear, but when I restore the SFX files/folders to their source location they reappear in the logic browser view menu.
    Is there some where else Logic stores Loop Browser reference data which can be deleted to remove these OTHER files/folders from the Loop Browser view menu?
    Thanks

    Success...
    OK I found the solution.
    1) I deleted the SFX audio files from the referenced HDD source location.
    2) I opened Logic and re-index the Loop Browser.
    3) I quit Logic and copied the SFX files back to the HDD.
    When I opened Logic this time, the SFX files/folders referenced under the OTHER menu were gone.
    Because I have a huge production music & SFX library, the best way to audition these sources for use in a Logic project, is to audition in iTunes and then just drag whatever I need right from within itunes into the Logic project.
    That keeps my Logic loop browser more manageable and focused on composing.

  • Apple loops not folloiwng key changes

    They follow tempo changes, but not key changes. Using both "green" and "blue" loops from the Loop Browswer, as well some audio takes I recorded and converted to Apple Loops using the Loop Utility. Same result for all.
    Ideas? Thanks.

    thanks.. heres a another question now that i have it making the changes.
    is there a way to select what follows the changes and what doesnt. for example
    I edit my drum tracks in phatmatik and then bring the midi files into logic. I don't want them to change, because the drums sounds would be off and in some case triggering no sounds.
    thanks

  • New vs old versions of apple loops

    Hi,
    I just received my upgrade from Logic Express 8 to Logic Studio Pro. Although I'm not a huge user of apple loops they do, from time to time come in handy. So I have to ask this question... Most of the apple loops on my current system are of the old type. These include the ones that came with garageband 7/Express 7 and Jam Packs 1 & 3. If I replace these with the new loops will Logic Pro 8 still play back the songs I've created using the old loops and substitute the new equivalents? Question 2. In a recent post on the Express 8 forum a user lamented the fact that the installation of Express 8 also overwrote his project files from Express 7. He lost them all. In my case this did not happen and, in any case, I have them backed up on an external hard drive. Is the installation of Pro 8 is likely to overwrite the project files of Express 8? If so I need to give myself the time to get them back. Last question. I'd like to give myself enough time to do the installation all in one go. I will not be installing Mainstage, Soundtrack Pro 2 or the surround sound specific material at this time. How long is this installation going to take?
    Thanks,
    Rainguitar

    Acutally these are two separate features of the new model. Dual band keeps the connection from slowing down if someone connects using a computer that only supports the slower connection. Older routers default to the slower connection speeds if there are any G clients.
    Guest networking works on both connections. Your guests could be using the same radio to connect as you, but it will appear that they are on a different network. They will also not be able to see any of the computers on your network and also not any of the computers on the "guest" network, unless you have enabled this on the Time Capsule.
    If you have any devices that use 802.11G and newer devices that use 802.11n then it is definitely worth the $150. Sharing your internet with friends without compromising security is nice too.
    I did notice that connections seem stronger than the Airport Extreme that I replace that shipped the same time as the old Time Capsule.

  • Can't hear green apple loops

    I just downloaded the trail version of Logic express. I want to use some "green" apple loops as well as blue apple loops. I can hear the blue apple loops during playback but not the green apple loops. The only thing that happens with the green apple loops is that a little orange bar moves next to the channel showing that signal is there but i don't hear anything. I know I am diving into this head first but what am I missing. thank you

    Hey Andy,
    welcome to the forum,
    the green loops (midi) you can drag them to the instrument tracks.
    It will show notes.
    If you drag them to an audio track, it display the audio wave.
    Also do you have sound when you press on a green loop in loop broswer?
    Try those.
    Best regards,
    Jorge
