Crossfading Apple Loops?

I would have thought if this was a bug it would have been fixed, as its always "bugged" me!
Does anyone know why Apple Loops seem to omit themselves from being edited - apart from splicing? If I want to chop up a loop and hack it back together without it cracking and popping between cuts the only option is to automate the volume, which is a real pain, you can't even merge Apple loops! Anyone one know why this is? Is it just some piece of metadata I can get rid of?

Wow... hehe not very "user friendly then" it must be something to do with the metadata no? after all they are "aiff" files. I always thought it was a glitch in Pro 7. Ah well... the crackles will have to stay...
Meh
Thanks

Cannot Save my Audio Files as Apple Loops in Logic 8

Everytime I click save it says "Check Destinations drive available Space".
This happens EVERY TIME I try to save one of my own audio file as an Apple Loop!
"Save As" works fine. Im not the only person asking this... Anyone? Appreciate any help...

I just checked this on my older PPC (Dual 2 G5) system, as I thought it was still working... Well, yep, it is working on that system, but not on either of my Intel Logic rigs (Macbook Pro and Jan08 8 core).

Re indexing issues in Apple Loop Browser (LP 9.0.2 / OSX 10.6.1 / Digi 002r

I'm trying to re index my loop browser in LP9 / OSX10.6.1
Are you having the same problem?
After trashing the 'Apple Loop Index', I pull in a folder from an external drive and notice that previous folders added to my browser have gone, including Jam Packs.
Also, I can't find the 're-index' option within the loop browser search option (right click brings down a list but the re-index option isn't there)
Interested to see whet you find.

Yep, I also had issues, where indexing the LP8 way (dragging folders with loops from the Finder onto the Logic loop browser) just bluffed to work (I dropped the folder on the LB, a progress window appeared, things apparently got done, but then nothing, no new entries in the Loop Browser.
So it seems that it is a L9 problem, since our Macs' are different in every aspect (Me: PPC- you: Intel, me: Leopard- you: Snow Leopard).
I finally decided to put all my loops in their default install locations and reindex them from there:
*Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple:*
Jam Pack 4 - Symphony Orchestra
Jam Pack Voices
Jam Pack World Music
*Library/Audio/Apple Loops/iLife Sound Effects:*
(13 folders)
*Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops:*
(some folders with my own and 3rd party Loops)
*Library/Application Support/Garageband/Apple Loops:*
Apple Loops for Garageband
Jam Pack 3- Rythm Section
for thorough reindexing, here are the steps:
1. Quit Logic and/or any other app that uses Apple Loops.
2. Go to all the locations I pointed out and trash all the index files from the *Apple Loops Index* folders. Also check the same locations in your Users/'you'/Library folder.
3. Start Logic with a new empty project, open the loop browser window by hitting the o key. Now drag the folders mentioned above in bold onto your loop browser. Logic should now index them correctly, including the foldermenu !http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2743/4085966954bf4fc039d7o.png! in the loop browser.

Loop browser vs the loops in audio apple loops

My number is different in the loop browser. lets say
show all> i hit reset then all drums, the number is less than that that is what in the drum folder i have in the HD.
same for Guitar and others.
i.e. all the loops i have in the HD are not in the loop browser.
I have all prefs in Loop set to not filter and reset keywords.
is there a shortcut/proper method to show every loop i have in the HD showing in the loop browser.
I thank you all
and have a nice day making music.

Ht
an honor to hear from you
and i would hope you have 5 minutes to clarify or atleast add your thoughts here. I am puzzled by this.
I went ahead and bought thousands of loops from third party.
i have 2486 elect guitar loops.
and 349 acoustic guitar loops. filter is off
they are reindexed.
In the apple loops folder where i store all the loops, i have created folders for each instrument ( as close as i could associate them ).
i have the guitar electric folder ( 2486 loops ) acoustic (349 ) harp etc etc etc. If i type in names they show ( most seem to ) but one cannot memorize names of 10,000 loops. I cant!
so if i go into the lbrowser i am expecting to see in all guitars a number almost equal to about 2800. Now you say time signature will mismatch that. But you see there is a mismatch of about 600 guitar loops!? that doesnt make sense does it? they are residing elsewhere, where i do not know except ofcourse in my meticulous folder Guitar electric on my HD.
1. Reindexing makes sure that every loop in my HD is in the loop Browser isnt that the case. I dont remember if i dragged all of them over the browser or not.
2. It seems to me ( and see no other options here ) that if i want to be able to peruse all of my loops and have them accessible i have to have the lib>audio>apple loops>folders of loops open so that i can choose those that are not being brought up in the browser and as you say have time signatures that are different?
how do i then bring up those no shows in the browser if they are not showing up ( acc to you )due to signature problems because they might be usable if edited?
3. i could check off favorites couldnt I and then have maybe 2000 loops to chose from. Aint this a kick in the ***?
Im trying to organize as best i can what loops i have on the HD
so that i can see them exactly organized and neatly in the browser, but APPLE has made this very very difficult i think.
i appreciate your time thoughts and forgive me for insisting on an answer here which i may not get.

Some Apple Loops refuse to index when dropped onto the Loop Browser

I'm hoping somebody has a fix for this odd problem. Some of the Apple Loops which came with version 1.0.1 refuse to index via the loop browser.
First off, I had to re-install GarageBand 1.0.1 after an invalid library error message appeared after upgrading to Tiger. The re-install wasn't completed totally and it did the same thing on 2 attempts. The next error message was: Apple Loops are missing, or something to that effect. I had to install the Apple Loops found in HD->Library->Application Support->GarageBand by dropping them onto the GarageBand Loop Browser at the bottom of its window. It indexed them, they appeared, and I was happy.
Today, for some reason, I looked through the loops folder mentioned above and noticed about one third of the loops do not appear in the Loop Browser, naturally some really neat stuff is missing! So I decided to drag & drop these Apple loop files onto the browser individually. It says it's indexing them, althought the guitar icon in the dock jumps while doing so, but they never appear and don't show-up in the search box either. They can however be dropped onto the Timeline from the Finder and will play as a music file. The problem is that I cannot listen to them from the loop browser for easy selecting when arranging.
Is there any way to get these stubborn Apple files to appear & play in the Loop Browser? I was hoping they could be added via the Timeline to the Loop Browser, but have had no success. Also, I tried the Apple Loops Utility thinking maybe the appropriate tags were missing, but can't figure out what is missing, if anything.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The Loop Browser filters what it displays by only showing loops in the same Time Signature as the song you've created, and within 2 semitones of the Key your song is in.
You can change the latter by tuning off Keyword Browsing in GB's preferences.

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.

"Only files in Apple Loops format will be shown in the loop browser".

I recorded a Drum loop from my Korg m50 workstation into logic pro 9.
After recording i tried to import that loop into Apples loop library. After doing so i get this message.."Only files in Apple Loops format will be shown in the loop browser."
What do i do?
Please help.
Thanks
Rohan

I've recently gotten this error when I try to drag an audio file into the loops library (to create an apple loop.)
Comes along with Result Code=-43.
I'm trying to quantize some rhythmic loops using flex, then turn them into apple loops for the library.
My process:
Take original audio.
Flex it using slice mode.
Bounce in place.
Drag new region into Loops browser.
Errors ensue.

HT200183 If I wanted to include apple loops in the assets of Logic project folders that are part of a tutorial available for download on a paid educational website would that be ok?

If I wanted to include apple loops in the assets of Logic project folders that are part of a song that follows a tutorial available for download on a paid educational website would that be ok? No one would be paying for the file itself that's part of the membership. I don't want to get into any copyright problems. I understand that they are royalty free and you can include them in your music no problem but the individual loops would be in the audio folder if I saved all the assets to the project file.
Also, would it be ok to include screen shots I take myself of apple programs in my downloadable content?
Just trying to figure out exactly how I should go about it to avoid any legal issues.

My gut reaction is that you may well run into © issues if you re-distribute the original AppleLoops.If your customers are paying for the training, they are also paying for the content you provide, so I feel that you would be re-selling the loops.
Given that anyone who has a copy of Logic would likely have installed all the loop content, there should be no need to distribute them with the project files. Alternatively, make your own loops.

Apple loops for garageband pack doesn't show the folder content (loops, files...) in ableton live suite 8 library browser, but I can see all the loops in the folder from finder. how can i fix this? help please.

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?

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..

Apple Loops and the Loop Browser

maybe I'm missing something here, but whenever I save an edited audio file (or loop) with Apple Loops I can never seem to find the same file in the Loop Browser.
(unless that is how the app is suppose to behave ...)
I assumed the Loop Browser behaves somewhat like Logic's Project Manager, referencing and finding files that are associated with Logic Sessions.
Long story shot, how can i save my edited Apple Loop files and still find them using the Loop Browser
Thanks.

The additional content is not just the loops. It is also all the samples for the instruments etc.
You are correct, however, in the method of moving the loops.

Apple loop listed twice in the loop browser

Can someone tell me why my apple loops are being listed twice in the loop browser?

I actually need help here too. Mine are listed twice but it is because they are on my drive in two places
Library>Application Support>GarageBand>Apple Loops>Apple Loops for GarageBand
And also here
Library>Audio>Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops for GarageBand
Can I toss one of these or does GarageBand and Logic need to see these in different places?

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.

Midi tempo/key Apple Loops

I tried working with Apple Loops and an extensive external midi rig the other day and came to an impasse at trying to do the following.
Any suggestions?
I used a ton of Jam pack loops with original loops in exs24 and external modules
What I wanted to do is to only change the tempo of the midi tracks(ostinatto mallets) and leave the loops at existing tempo.
Basically wanted to double the tempo of the midi track against the existing audio loops...
Any way to lock the Apple Loops at existing tempo?
thanks
Pat

I guess you could do like this; Bounce the loop as a regular AIF and add to audio window, then bring it to your arrange again, and just loop it regularly. If you now change the tempo of the song - the aif will stay as it were (unless you click follow tempo...)

MIDI Banks and Apple Loops Trustworthy Downloads?

I am currently attempting to locate and download MIDI banks and Apple Loops that I can use in the future, but I'm looking for a trustworthy site (a one stop shop if you will) to do this. If we only have Garageband installed, and not Pro Logic or any other programs, then is Garageband the only program to open up and play around with our MIDI banks or Apple Loops just for fun? I mean, is there another way we can open our loops simply to play around with and be able to pick out sounds we like, then perhaps save different sounds we like for future reference? I'm confused on how to actually open the loops and MIDI banks, so I need someone to tell me precisely how to do this if we just want to begin exploring. Thanks!

You can open Apple Loops in the Quicktime Player. Many sample producers offer their libraries in Apple Loops format as well as the more traditional standard WAV nowadays, so you should have no trouble finding plenty of resources.
Quicktime Player will also play GM MIDI files.
