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...)

  • Using multiple arrange windows + drag apple loops from one to another

    does anyone or has anyone experienced this?
    when you drag a apple loop from on arangement to another (both the same tempo) the apple loop will not cycle correctly, and audio instruments have to be shifted via the delay parameter for both AI and Apple loops to line up. this is a frequent accurance for me.

  • Apple Loops disappeared

    Hi gang,
    I created two Apple Loops from a couple audio regions in my session so I could adjust the tempo. Only one of the regions succesfully converted and imported to an apple loop, but now my entire Apple Loop library is gone and I have have those two loops that I created. (of which only one works with audio in it)
    How can I restore my Loops library?
    Much thanks,
    Alex

    Can you post a screenshot of your loop browser in Logic?

  • Not able to increase gain of blue Apple Loop in Sample Editor, even when I bounce in place

    As far as I understand things, bouncing in place creates a new audio file that you can alter at will. I have a blue Apple Loop from Logic's library that I want to permanently change the gain on.  I can bounce in place but all the functions in the sample editor are greyed out, thus not allowing me to change the gain. The loop is a surround sound loop, I don't know if that matters. It's happened to me in stereo so I don't think so.

    Finaly i was able to solve the problem.The other machine was having some firewall blocking the receiver.

  • Apple Loops no longer work!!!

    Hi
    I have a strange problem. I imported an apple loop from the Library>Audio folder into ProTools via drag and drop. Pro Tools created a copy of the audio file in the local ProTools audio folder. Strange thing is now the OS and all the iLife apps cannot access the original loop file. The OS says unrecognised file type. The only thing I noticed is the date of the original file was reset to today's date. All the other loops were dated 2005 and they work fine.
    What gives? Is there any way to fix the corrupted files?
    Someone should report this to apple, but I'm not sure how, and to whom?
    Thanks
    Regards
    Mike

    date of the original file was reset to today's date.
    Then apparently ProTools modified it.
    Try fixing it with Apple's Loop utility

    Someone should report this to apple
    It doesn't sound like an Apple problem, but rather a ProTools problem.

  • Midi Apple Loops Problem

    Hi,
    Im having some issues with the midi apple loops loosing some effects that are heard when previewed in the media section, then once dragged into the arrange it'll loose for example a prevalent reverb and other notable sonic qualities...even when the plug-ins that are usually bypassed once dragged into arrange window are activated its still lacking from the preview loop heard.
    Wa gwahn?

    This is normal behavior. If you want the midi loop to sound exactly like auditioned in the preview you will have to create an audio track and move the midi region onto the audio track, and then it will sound exactly the same.

  • Logic Pro, Apple Loops, and Restoring from Time Machine

    I recently had to restore my Mac from a Time Machine backup, and like most things touched by Apple, the restoration worked flawlessly for all my stuff, with a few exceptions. Some 3rd party apps I use had problems with file permissions but most of it was quickly sorted out in under half an hour.
    However, Logic Pro refuses to see the Apple Loops I have installed on my system. My Loops are stored in two folders at the following locations:
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for Soundtrack/
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro/
    GarageBand has no problem seeing these, but Logic Pro can't find them, and won't let me show it where they are. The Apple Loop Utility found them alright, although I did have to show it where the files were kept. Any idea what's wrong?

    You may need to rebuild the loops index.
    Open up Logic and display the Loops Browser
    Open up FInder and locate the folder containing the loops as you describe
    Drag the loops folders onto the Loops Browser
    That will rebuild the index and all should be well.

  • Logic referencing wrong apple loop after dragging from loop browser

    (I am an X-Pro Tools Junkie) I am loving Logic.
    I recently upgraded from Logic 7 on an old G4 to Logic 9 Studio on a MacBook Pro. I installed all my software and plugin’s  fresh on the new machine. I opened up each projectindividually on my old machine and exporting the entire project and checked allthe boxes to copy all loops, audio files, settings, etc.  to a new auxiliary hard drive. As a result,all my projects open up nicely on my new system.
    I have a massive library of third party apple loopsincluding all 18 volumes of Drums On Demand. Also, I have the preferencechecked NOT to copy audio files to the session. Unfortunately, with thiscombination, when I drag and drop one of my Apple Loops into a project, ifthere is also a loop in the project folder of the same name, Logic isn’t referencingthe loop I am dragging, but the incorrect older one in the project folder. Thisis happening often, as Drums On Demand has a file naming system, so that theverse of each song-set is titled consistently, and so on.  So if I have some drums in a project, and Iwant to try different drums, I have to physically copy them to the projectaudio folder, and then drag and drop from the finder, which simple isn’t asfun.
    Any Ideas?
    Apple, maybe you can fix this in your next update.

    I was having a similar problem. I had taken some aif files and converted them successfully into blue apple loops that responded to my songs tempos. they showed up in the loop browser.
    However the next day when I tried to convert more audio file, I couldn't repeat the procedure that I did the day before. I'm baffled as to what I did right and now am doing wrong. I even tried opening the Apple Loop utility directly from the Library folder. Its goes through the process of creating the loops, I get to adjust transients and all, but it does not show up in the loops menus when I look for it.

  • Apple ID Loop From **** - cannot verify email account

    Please help as I am about to throw my phone through the window.
    I had this problem back with MobileMe, which I was never able to set up correctly and now it's biting me in the butt for iCloud.  Here is the issue:
    Apple ID from ages ago before e-mail address required as an Apple ID - so it's xxx.  Email associated with xxx user id is my personal email address.
    A while ago, created another user ID per Apple that is my e-mail address:  [email protected]  But, that is also the email address associated with the xxx old id.
    Back when I tried to set up MM and now iCloud, the iPhone constantly tells me it can't verify my email accout for the [email protected] user id.  Back when I was setting up MM, I just gave up.
    I called Apple care and he basically said I need to disassociate my email address from the old xxx user id.  I went into iTunes app store and made that change to the old ID account.  Mind you, appleid.apple.com is DOWN.
    iTunes showing everything hunky dory:  xxx user id is associated with a different email account and the [email protected] user id is associated with [email protected] email address.
    going back into iPhone to set up iCloud.  I have deleted and reentered the [email protected] apple id I want to use and it's still saying it can't verify the email address!  What gives?  This is making me crazy and the Apple Care rep says they have no power to make changes over the phone - it's all self-service.
    I am caught in the loop from ****!
    Thanks

    The best way is to contact iTunes store support. Make sure you give them the old email address so they can look up the account for you. They'll tell you how to regain access to it:

  • Problems with indexing and Apple Loops on External Drive

    Ok, so I've recently moved my entire "Apple Loops" folder to an external drive and created an alias pointing back the "Audio" folder where the apple loops folder used to reside. The problem is when I bring up the loop browser, it's not finding the loops. Do I need to move the Apple Loops Index to the external hard drive as well? I assumed by creating an alias, it would just go to my external drive.

    Someone had said that it's better to use the alias for the apple loops since Logic will always go to where it expects the loops to be first. Which I'm assuming would be faster. But, if it truly doesn't matter and I should just drop all my apple loop folders one by one from my external hard drive, then I"ll do that. Anyone heard about what's faster....alias Vs. external HD direct path?

    I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

    Hi David-
    The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

    Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

    Hello apple
    I have the problem with my iPhone and my friends have this problem too.
    My iPhone have the problem about calling and answer the call. When I use my iPhone to call I can't hear anything from my iPhone but the person that I call can answer it but when answer both of us can't hear anything and when I put my iPhone to my face the screen is still on and when I quit the phone application and open it again it will automatic call my recent call. And when my friends call me my iPhone didn't show anything even the missed call I'm only know that I missed the call from messages from carrier. Please check these problem I restored my iPhone for 4 time now in this week. I lived in Hatyai, Songkhla,Thailand and many people in my city have this problem.
    Who have this problem??

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

    I just went through this and it appears that my Focusrite Saffire was the culprit. I connected all the outputs on the focusrite according to the way the jacsk on the back were labeled and then set up the multichannel speaker setup to match. Then I went into STP, created a pink noise clip and panned it around, the LFE, center and rears were not in the right place.
    I reconnected the hardware to match the 5.1 pan pot in STP then changed the multichannel speaker setup to match. Everything appears to be correct now but I would have loved to have been able to just assigned the output busses to correct outputs in the saffire.
    Next step is to pan that pink noise around with my SPL meter to calibrate the room.

    nowadays have many user have problem with update to ios7 and need active with apple id maybe in the future in order escape from these problems must be stop use these products else. Because of simple user don't know about this technology and sometime just hear from other user that it 's difficult to use then force they change phone that use to handle to another.

    It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.
