Creating Apple loops within the arrange window

I have tried this before and had the same result again and again.
I have a stereo recording of a drum kit at 120 bpm which I have chopped to a 2 bar cycle and want to turn it into an apple loop. to fit it into the song I am working on which is at 100 bpm.
I select "add to apple loops library" from the Region drop down menu in the arrange window. the apple loops genre selection window opens which adds it to the apple loops browser. easy!
But when I drop the loop back into the arrange window onto an Audio track within the same song which is 100bpm, it stays at the original tempo and doesn't snap to the bar. but still loops stretches and does what an apple loop should do but at the wrong tempo. what is that all about?

with an extra note to my comment above
if you've dropped the loop from the apple loop browser to the arrange window you then have to open it again in apple loop utility to sort it out by selecting "open in apple utility" from the Audio drop down menu on the arrange window which gives you a chance to edit it properly and now I have a decent loop. but then I have to save it again in the initial menu "add to apple loops" which I have to reclassify it again I thought it'd be a good idea to actually get rid of the first menu choice "add to apple loops" window and just have a window within logic which uses the same engine as apple loops utility and uses the same audio channel (the Last enabled channel in the Environment to Audition the loop because now when Apple loop utility opens the core Audio gets confused and comes out of my comuter speaker and then after a few cycles comes out of the Interface. I think there are too many "menu this", "loop utility that's" going on in logic. I do hope Logic 8 is going to trim away all the excess Lard which Logic has gained since mac took it off Emagic.

  • Logic will not let me edit Apple Loops in the Audio Window.  Any ideas?

    When I select a blue apple loop and put it in an audio track it works perfectly but when I go to the audio window it will not let me edit the Apple Loop. A window pops up and says "The requested action can not be performed because the edited file is an Apple Loop." In the manual it says that both green and blue Apple loops can be edited but every time I try to edit an Apple Loop that window pops up. It only does this for apple loops. What can I do.

    Hi there, this is because you cannot edit apple loops, other than cutting blue loops witht he scissors. If you want to edit/alter loops bounce them down to audio files, then you can do pretty much anything..

  • I can't find converted apple loops in the loop browser within Logic pro 7

    Hello There.
    I've cereated some apple loops with the apple loops utility. unfortunately I am unable to find them in the loop browser within Logic pro 7.2.1.
    I've scaned them using the project manager " so Logic knows about them"
    but still didn't reflect in the loop browser.
    Is this the normal behavior or what am I doing wrong.
    I hope I am doing something wrong, as to me the main feature of the loop browser is to be able to audition the loops quckly at the song tempo.
    Thanks a lot in advance
    Cheers

    Just drop them on the Loop Browser and the rest should be taken care of.

  • Is there a quick way to "fit all" in the arrange window?

    Does LP8 have a quick way to fit everything in the arrange window from any magnification level? Something comparable to double-clicking on the magnifying glass in Pro Tools?
    For instance, let's say you've made your tracks very tall by control-down-arrowing a bunch of times. Now you want to quickly go back to having every track header showing in the arrange window. At first I thought that the key command "control-option-z" (zoom to fit selection horizontally and vertically) would work if you command-a selected all regions first. That does work horizontally, but if I have a region at the bottom of my track headers, that command does not seem to work vertically. The region at the bottom is still out of view.
    One thing I tried was going to the key commands dialogue box and assigning option-2 to "save as zoom 1" and option-3 as "recall zoom 1." But when I start with everything visible in the arrange window, then hit option-2 to save that zoom level, then use the magnifying glass a bunch of times to make everything big, then hit option-3, it does not take me back to the original zoom level that I "saved" as option-2.
    If the only way to get back to square one is to start there, then control-option-marquee-select to magnify a few times, then control-option-click on the background the same number of times to get back to where you started, well, OK, I will live with that.
    But I am thinking there must be an easy way to "fit everything in window" with just one click, or maybe some kind of key-modified click.
    Any advice much appreciated,
    Jim

    OK, thanks for the advice, Erik. I was hoping not to have to use the zoom sliders or the stretch scrollbars method, since it's not as fast as a one-click or double-click method.
    One other possibility I was investigating today was saving a screenshot and then recalling it. The manual says:
    Saving and Recalling Screensets
    Screensets are numbered from 1 to 99 (using only the 1 to 9 computer keys—the 0 key
    is assigned to the Stop command by default).
    You don’t need to save screensets with an explicit command. It happens automatically,
    as soon as you switch to another screenset. Thus, without any effort, your current
    working view is always stored as the current screenset.
    To create a screenset:
    1 Press a numerical key, say 7.
    For two-digit screensets, hold down Control while entering the first digit.
    2 Arrange your windows as desired, including changes to zoom settings, relationship of
    the Arrange area and editor areas, open or closed Inspector and Media or Lists areas,
    and so on.
    To recall, or switch between screensets, do one of the following:
    m Input the number of the desired screenset (1 to 9).
    I thought that had real possibilities. Make the arrange window the size of my whole project to begin with, then save it as, say, screenset 3. Then if I zoom in on a wave form or change the size of everything, just recall screenset 3 to get back. Unfortunately, it apparently constantly keeps track of all your changes, so if you zoom within screenset 3 and then try to recall the screenset 3 that you saved, it just takes you to where you are currently, after all the zooming. I don't understand why Logic thinks that helps you, but that's how it seems to work.
    Anyway, I've spent enough time on it. I give up. I guess I will use control-left-arrow, control-right-arrow. Unfortunately, you cannot do them both at the same time, it seems, which would be faster. Oh, well.

  • Where is the button to transfer sequences to the arrange window in Logic Pro 7's Ultrabeat?

    Hi guys/gals,
    I have a pretty old version of Logic, it's Pro 7. Anyway, I mess around with it from time to time and I am currently trying to program some drums using Ultrabeat, which, to be honest, I have totally ignored in the past.
    I have created a sequence and I now want to place it into the arrange window, but cannot find the button which, from everywhere I have searched, should be in the bottom left of the plug in, near the pattern selector drop down. I have taken a screenshot of how my Ultrabeat looks. If you can find this mysterious button then please let me know, as it is driving me nuts! I simply cannot find it anywhere.
    Thanks for your time.
    Archimbaldi.

  • Student lost ability to audition loops within the loop browser

    Colleagues,
    My students were composing songs using GarageBand 3.0.4 in our Mac Lab.
    Two of my students showed me that, after they'd laid down three or four tracks by dragging loops into the main window, they could no longer get loops to play inside the loop browser. They would click on a loop, and nothing would happen.
    The loop would play once it was clicked and dragged into the window, but it would not play from inside the loop browser.
    Does anyone have any idea what my students might have done that could cause them to be unable to audition loops from within the loop browser?
    Thanks in advance for any insight you might be able to provide.

  • Any harm in having over 1000 midi tracks in the arrange window?

    The way i like to work is...
    to load up like 20 instances of a software sampler, (16 channels on each) and then create tracks for every midi channel in the arrange window. That way, when i'm writing, i can simply switch tracks to play different midi sounds.
    Last night I spent hours creating all the tracks, but after I reached 1000, it just says "???" in the track number area. I was still able to create the tracks though, and everything seemed fine.
    I should mention that I'm still waiting for the Intel Machfive version, so i can't test it yet.
    So my question is, is there a problem for me to have so many tracks in the arrange window?

    oh, and one more thing. it said "???" in the arrange window, but it showed the track number in the mixer. This is a good sign, right?

  • Opening the arrange window ... Track header

    Ok so I'm trying to get more efficient with logic and one thing I would like to know is why when I push apple key one and I open the arrange window
    Even if I've gone into the arrange window in this song and I've set it up to display all header options , meaning track protect , freeze solo mute etc.... ,
    Steven though I've gone through this process and I close that window ... Or even in a new arrange window on top of the correctly set window
    Logic gives me an arrange window without these settings make me constantly have to got into view drop down and setting this up again
    It's very frustrating and I'd like to know a work around
    It's been a long time but when I started using logic six I believe there was a way to set this up by setting up the arrange and then using a key command
    To capture the window
    If that's correct I forget how to do it and would like some help
    Thanks

    Yea so locking my screen set doesn't work the track header ie the freeze button and protect button still don't appear in a new arrange even after setting lock from the screen set pulldown
    Hi
    Yep.... as I said, if you open a new Arrange window each time it will be at the default setup (see below for another method that may fix this for you)
    The idea of Screensets is that you "re-open" 'your' Arrange (or other window setup) by recalling the Screenset, NOT opening a new Arrange window.
    Try this:
    Get the Arrange the way you'd like it, and then Lock the Screenset. (Note the Screenset number next to the Screenset Menu eg screenset 1). Change the Arrange layout, and then recall the Locked Screenset using the number keys (eg 1). The Arrange will reopen the way you locked it.
    Alternatively, try this:
    Open a new project and setup the Arrange Track Headers, open a second Arrange and setup these headers too. Close the second Arrange window. Now make a new (third) Arrange window... it will have the headers the way you set them, as will all new Arrange windows (works here on Logic 9.1.6 and OSX.7.2).

  • I can't select "audio output stereo" on a track in the arrange window

    When I create a new song, in the Arrange window I can
    choose "audio output stereo" for a given track, and
    access the mixer's output from there. Fab.
    When I open a song that I oringally created using Logic 5,
    "audio output stereo" does not appear.
    Is this something about the file format?
    (a) is there something simple to do to enable that for
    older songs, or (b) is there a way to convert older song files to LE7?
    thanks,
    fred, san rafael.
    [email protected]

    Sorry, je suis un idiot.
    FYI. I went into the Environment window and found "Output 1-2"
    to be un-checked. Checking it now makes "audio output stero" an available option in that song.
    Thanks for listening.

  • My problem is the graphs of my audio recordings in the arrange window are so small it makes accurate editing very difficult.

    My problem is the graphs of my audio recordings in the arrange window are so small it makes accurate editing very difficult.

    Try the waveform zoom slider. Recording louder just to get a better visible waveform would be, well, silly.
    From the manual: (click on links to see pics)
    To change the zoom level using the Waveform Zoom button 
    Click-hold the Waveform Zoom button. A slider appears.
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/Art/S01/S0185_WaveZoom.png
    Drag the slider. As you do, the waveform shown in all audio regions, and in the Beat Mapping track, is increased or decreased in size.

  • Stuck in a "loop" at the login window after upgrading to Leopard

    I bought a new iMac Oct 26. It contained Tiger, and included a disk for installing Leopard. I easily got the machine up and running using Tiger, but last night I attempted to install Leopard. When the installation was complete, I tried to get it running. A screen asking for my password came up. I keyed that in and hit logon. Back came the screen asking for the password. To make long story short, I tried everything I could last night, and then called Apple Support this morning. Took quite a while, but I was back in business this afternoon. The technician who helped me sent me the email copied below describing the solution. Perhaps it will help someone else? Romelle
    Hello from Apple!

    Mac OS X 10.5, iMac (Late 2007): Stuck in a "loop" at the login window after upgrading to Leopard
    Issue or symptom
    After installing Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard on a 20-inch or 24-inch iMac (Late 2007) computer, you may not be able to log in at the login window. Your login name and password are apparently accepted, but after a blue screen appears for a few seconds, the login window reappears instead of your desktop.
    Products affected
    20-inch or 24-inch iMac (Late 2007) computer with 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8 GHz processors
    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Solution
    If Leopard is installed
    Start up from the Leopard Install DVD and perform an Archive and Install installation (and select Preserve Users and Network Settings).
    After the Archive and Install is complete, you should be able to successfully log in. Use Software Update to install any other updates.
    Important: Install the iMac Software Update 1.3 for Leopard after the Archive and Install is complete.
    If Leopard is not yet installed
    If you have not yet installed Leopard on your 20-inch or 24-inch aluminum iMac computer with a 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8 GHz processor running Mac OS X 10.4.x, but previously installed the iMac Software Update 1.2, you should install the iMac Software Update 1.2.1 (Tiger) or later, before installing Leopard.
    Thank you,
    Apple

    If Leopard came pre-installed and this is a new machne, then the disks that came in the box should let you archive install preserving users & network settings. The disks have a grey label, and if you get more than one use disk #1 for this procedure.
    Hold down the "option" (also known as "alt" on the new keyboards) key when starting up with disk #1 in the optical drive. Select the install disk icon on the grey screen and click the arrow. Then when you get to the "select destination pane, click the options button after selecting your hard drive as the destination. In options A& I preserving should be checked by default, if not, select them. Click "ok" to dismiss the options pane, then run the installation.
    If this does not work for you, call apple support. They want everything to work. Be patient, they are real busy these days.

  • How do I make my page links open up within the same window?

  • My Audio waveform doesn´t show up graphically in the arrange window

    I´m just starting up new songs with a friend and I can not edit the audio files in the arrange window because the auido file appears like a straight line. The sound is fine, and during recording the audio is shown nicely graphically until I hit the stop button. Then the nicely graphically represented audio turns into a straight line. This phenomenon happened when I run the RME Babyface. Anyone have a suggestion how to solve this?

  • In Logic X, the mouse click wheel scroll is way too fast on the arrange window and the piano roll.  Is there a way to adjust this?

    In Logic X, the mouse click wheel scroll is way too fast on the arrange window and the piano roll.  Is there a way to adjust this?  This is the way I scrolled for MIDI editing on Logic 9

    Hi cris2121, assuming you're using a mouse from apple, go to >System Preferences<
    it's here where one can configure a mouse device.
    Additionally you can also configure Scrubbing in Logic: "When in scrub mode, you can slowly move the playhead in the Tracks Window and the Audio (and optional MIDI) will be played back. The playback speed depends on how fast you move the Playhead in either direction."
    Have a nice day!
