How to reproduce Building Blocks Synth apple loop

hi, a very specific question that you cant answer unless you listen to sample in question - a sample in LPX apple loops called Building Blocks Synth. There is a bass line and a recurring synth chord which closes out every time it appears I think with some kind of filter effect - a bit like a closing hi hat on a plucky synth - a sound I just think is fantastic, but for the life of me cannot work out how it is done. If you get a chance can you cast your expert ear and for those experts , let me know how you think you get the synth sound and effect. You can hear it better if you copy into a track and boost the high end and low end EQ .
I would not normally ask such a question on here but it is bugging me and I could spend my life looking at tutorials to try and work out what it is but not get there.
Many thanks in advance for anybody who takes the time to listen to it.
A related question if anyone happens to know: if I include the loop in a song and successfully commercialise it, is it royalty fee?

I have a a problem a bit like the one described previously.
In Set. 2007 I bought my first mac...an iMac 24".
3-4 months later I had trouble with my HD. The tech support told me that my HD was damaged and could not be fixed. They couldn`t explain why, but they changed my old HD with a new one and problem solved.
Last month as I was installing the snow leopard operating sistem my iMac froze in the midle of the instalation procedure. I turned it off holding down the power button, and when I turned the power back on I got that flashing folder with a question mark in the middle. In short...after trying everything (formating, partitioning etc) I took it to the shop to hava a look.
The tech guy just got off the phone with me saying that my HD was damaged and could not be repaired. The only solution is to replace it with a new one.
In 2 years I had to change 2 HD`s!!!!
My only guess is that bootcamp might have something to do with it cause it frooze the computer lots of times requiring me to turn it off by pressing and holding down the power button one to many times.
Does anybody know any other reason for this to have happended?
Could the installation of snow leopard have had anything to do with this?

How to make a song as Apple loop?

Hi there,
I'm working on 'dj mix' and liked to make couple of songs as apple loops.
Dont want to use 'Time and Pitch Machine' as I want to change tempo and see how they mix together...let's say starting mix from 130 and ending up to 138bpm.
I know how to make short files to Apple loops but as long as 6-8min tracks seem to have problem. Cannot select type "loop" in "Add Region to Apple Loops Library" for some reason?
Using PowerPC G5 and logic Pro 7.2.2
Is it possible use Logic Apple loops as Ableton 5 Live is using files?
So much easier to use a tool you have been using last 6 years...
Thanks for your help!

i tried this also, but could not get it to work. i got an error message saying that the loop was too long to be an apple loop.
if you get it to work, please post how!

How to convert an .aiff to Apple Loop in Soundtract Pro 2.0.2

Hi,
I am trying to convert an .aiff or an .mp3 to an Apple Loop to change the clip speed and transpose it. How do I do that form inside Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2?
I am new to Soundtrack pro.
Thanks a lot,

Hello Pascal,
an "easy" way would be to have a "Main.VI", where you put in all VI's from the llb as subVI's and then save the Main.vi "with options" as "LV6.02" to a new llb.
Best regards

How To Convert Aif Samples Into Apple Loops

i have a aif library of samples i want to convert into apple loops. to function the same as apple loops and catagorize them. whats the best way to do this?
thanks

It doesn't know, just guesses based on length assuming common time, from what I have witnessed. So, if your loop is in 3 ( for example ) or the original tempo is far from 120-ish ( as in, much closer to 60 or 240 ) you will probably have to set those tags manually. Otherwise, determining tempo from length is a pretty simple calculation.

Can automator turn thousands of samples into Apple Loops? (VSL rep/runs)

Hello everyone,
First off, I'm familiar with how to build my own apple loops and find them to be VERY useful, especially in the application I'm about to describe. However, I find it quite tedious to build them manually, especially when dealing with thousands of samples. Thus I'm looking for the best/easist way to create apple loops, hopefully using Tigers "automator."
Heres my situation: I use/love VSL sample libs, which contain many articulations/phrases, but some of these are "tempo specific" such as the numerous instrument runs, repetition files, glissandos, crescendos, etc, and when doing a film score I cannot let tempo specific files dictate the tempo of the piece (the film does that). Thus I've started taking some of the VSL samples (especially the repetition and runs) and turning them into apple loops, which conform to the tempo of the piece. Within reason, the results are WONDERFUL allow me to continue to use these very realistic phrases at almost any tempo!
However, I've grown tired of manually converting these files to apple loops, and thus have only converted a handful of these phrases into apple loops. Whats worse is when I'm forced to stop the creative process to turn a phrase into an apple loop only to find that after all that time creating the loop, it doesnt work!
Is it possible to use Tigers automator to automatically convert .wav files into apple loops? This would be a great time saver, and would possibly allow for turning the thousands of samples into apple loops. Anyone currently doing this type of thing? Is it worth it in the end?
Thanks in advance for any help/tips you can provide.

Hi Jonathan,
You can use Logic to create AIFFs of these files very quickly.
Then, open them in ALU.
Select all files.
Change 1 field.
Save.
You now have Apple Loops -- they will have a few few things automatically inserted such as guessed tempi -- they will almost always be set to 4/4 to the tempo closest to 120(?)... but they will load and many will load usably for your needs.
Now, I don't know exactly what you are facing with this concept but it sounds like a very big job and this will still leave much time hand tuning. If this is true, I recommend you have a look at Accelerando:
http://www.eigentoneresearch.com/Accelerando.html
Accelerando contains several tools which will substantially decrease the tedium - and yes, it does use Automator. It works directly with Logic Pro, Apple Loops Utility - and more. Ultimately, you may be able to create workflows which handle this task with 1 gesture per Apple Loop - although a large library of workflows would be required to accomplish this to most users expectations so 2 or more gestures is more likely. of course, you can try to set up a more intelligent scheme if, say, the files can be filtered by an attribute such as their name.

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.

Insrument missing when using green Apple Loop

Greetings,
When dragging the green Apple Loop "Bread and Butter Bass 09" onto an audio instrument track in my arrange window, the result sounds very different than dragging the loop onto an audio track. When clicking on the "Bass" on the I/O of the channel strip of the instrument track, a small beige colored window pops up which says that it is the EXS24... which looks much different than the large green EXS24 (I presume the large green window is for the sampler and the other is not?).
Anyway, the EXS24 screen for bass says "MISSING: Thumbstroke Bass". Doing a search for Thumbstroke Bass reveals that there are three related files for this instrument on my system, and the file paths for each related file are as follows...
For Thumbstroke Bass.pst... Hardrive/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Plug-In Settings/Bass/Thumbstroke Bass.pst.
For Thumbstroke Bass.exs... Hardrive/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument/Library/Sampler/Sampler Instruments/Thumbstroke Bass.exs.
And for Thumbstroke Bass.cst... Hardrive/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument/Library/Track Settings/Software/Bass/Thumbstroke Bass.cst.
How can I get the green Apple Loop in my instrument track to sound similar to the way it sounds in the Loop Browser? If the problem is the missing instrument above (Thumbstroke Bass), then how can I get this instrument into my EXS24? Do all three files above need to be put into a special place?
I performed a scan update in my project manager... thinking that this would insert the necessary files into my EXS24, but I noticed no change in the menus on my EXS24 (the ? sampler too).
Thank you for the help...
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks to all for the very helpful responses.
Regarding Bee Jay's post...
The version of Logic that I am running is 7.2.3.
I recently added an extra internal hardrive (Seagate 500 gig, 7200 RPM) and installed the most up to date Tiger OS. I then installed Logic 7.01... a few weeks later, I upgraded Logic directly from 7.01 to 7.2.3 (bypassed 7.1).
In the process, I copied my garage band folder and portions of my Logic folder from my Seagate to my LaCie external hardrive with the goal of accessing instruments and samples from my LaCie. During recording, Logic is running on my Seagate, but the recording path records to my original hardrive. I noticed last night that the garage band folders on my LaCie and Seagate did not have the Thumbstroke Bass sample instrument files... whereas my original MacIntosh HD does have those files.
When installing the Tiger OS on my Seagate, I wanted to do a fresh clean install, and did not use Migration Assistant, and did not transfer any files from my MacIntosh HD which had Panther on it at the time. When updating to Tiger on the MacIntosh HD, I did a simple update preserving previous pref files, etc. (which explains perhaps why the Thumbstroke Bass files were not deleted on the MacIntosh HD).
I have some idea of some of the reasons this can happen.
The Garagaband instruments like "Bass", "Drums" and so on, are basically mini EXS24's. If you have a "Drums" instrument loaded, and load an EXS24 instead, the same instrument remains loaded and you can play it in the full EXS24 as normal.<<</div>
Yes, I have noticed the same above...
It turns out that there is a small amount of sample content that must be in a preset location - if it's not, Logic does not initialise any of the mini-EXS24's, and trying to load content that requires them will fail.<<</div>
Thank you, that makes sense.
My mini-EXS24's do seem to initialize, but they have the message "MISSING: Thumbstroke Bass". I presume that the small amount of sample content that *must" be in a preset location is not there... the question is... How do I get it there?
Try going to an instrument insert slot, and see which of the Garageband instruments you have available. In 7.1.x, there should be about 15 or so instruments - if you can only see about 9 or so, and can't see "Hybrid-basic" and so on, then this is an indication that you may have missing or moved Garageband content.<<</div>
My instrument slots show about 15 or so instruments under the Garageband instruments, and the "Hybrid-basic" is there. Should I be able to find "Thumbstroke Bass" in the instrument slot menu also? (so far, I have not been able to find it)
See my thread here for more details on this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=730936&tstart=0
Have a look and see whether this might be the problem you are having.
If not, then get back to me, it might be a case of your sampler instruments or samples not being found.<<
Very helpful thread... I see some parallels to my current problem. You wrote that you had aliased your "entire AppSupport/Garageband library to an external drive, which works fine with Logic and Garageband except the sample based instruments in Logic - they seem to ignore the alias and hence can't locate the *.exs and/or the samples which they need." At the time, I did not know that I needed to create aliases, but I think that aliases were effectively created when I simply clicked and dragged the files from one drive to another, correct?
The next step that you wrote about puzzles me... You wrote, "So after a big of re-jigging the library files around, I've ended having the "Sampler -> Sampler Files -> Hybrid Synthesisers" samples and the instrument settings in the real AppSupport/GB directory, with all the rest of the samples and GB loops on the external drive." I am confused as to which files and their paths that you are referring to...
Don't forget that "Scan" in the Project manager does not change anything.<<</div>
I see!
I had forgotten that, and yes, it did not change anything.
In order to relink your files, you'll have to perform the "Resolve instruments" option, which goes and relinks sampler instruments with their required samples.<<</div>
THANKS!
However, after opening the Project Manager, I cannot find anything in the drop-down menus for "Resolve instruments". How do I get there? Do I need to do another scan to get there?

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?

How do you turn third-party midi loops into Apple Loops?

Does anyone know how to turn third-party midi loops into Apple Loops? I've got hundreds of short midi files that I purchased, and I would like to be able to use them in the loop browser of Logic Studio. I tried some of the obvious ways of doing this, like using Apple Loop Utility, but it doesn't seem to recognize .mid files. Seems like .mid files would be right up its alley, so maybe I'm doing something wrong...

Yes, have the same problem but with wav loops. i have 75000 wav loops from third part and do not find how to "logicized" it. For the moment i can use them into a project but they are not adapting when i change the bpm of the projetc for exemple.
If you know the solution i would be rescued

How to use old "Apple Loops for Soundtrack" with Garageband

Since Soundtrack (was part of FinalCut Express HD) doesn't work anymore (since some ProKit framework update) and was not part of the FinalCut Express 4 upgrade I used Garageband for sound creation and editing. But I missed some good loops from the old Soundtrack.
The Apple Loops for Soundtrack were still sitting on my harddisk but Garageband didn't recognize them in the Loop-Browser. Looking at the structure I found the Search Index files (/Library/Audio/Apple Loop Index/). I have two there, one for Garageband and another for iLife Sound Effects. Both are interpreted by Garageband. But no third for the old Soundtrack Loops. So I had a look at the Sound Loops installer DVD from FinalCut HD and there I found a similar structur and copied the Index file to the location of the two indexes mentioned above. I left the Loops for Soundtrack where they are (also could edit the index file for new locations, but that's a 7.5MB text file) and now Garageband knows their location and also lists the loops at the right categories inside the Loop-Browser.
Maybe that helps someone, even if I didn't find a topic about it here.

Ah.. ok, then never mind. Just didn't find any information about how to use the old soundtrack loops with garageband and so I did some thinking on my own. And if it works that easy, the better it is

HT201496 Hai there. I am facing trouble with my garageband apple loops.i don't see apple loops in my browser since quite some time i don't know what has happened to it and how it happened . i just wanted to learn some of basic things about music.can you h

Hai there. i am having a trouble with the garage band apple loops to get into my macbook pro. . i had it some time back and i dont know where it has gone and how it get it back. is there anyone to help me to get the loops back into the browser . i will be grateful to you if some one can help me with it/ thanks.

First check, if you do not accidentally have hidden or filtered your loops:
Uncheck the "Filter for more relevant results" option in the Audio tab of the GarageBand Preferences.
And the drop down menu on top of the Loop Browser should be set to "Loops", not to some Jam Pack or other collection.
If you still don't see any loops, check if you have set your project to a special signature, like 9/8, for that no standard loops do exist.
Then check, if any loops actually are installed in your system Library: Depending on your GarageBand version you should find the standard loops in the Audio folder of your system Library (Application Support > GarageBand):
Your System Drive > Library > Audio > Apple Loops
If the Loops are installed, but GarageBand does not show them, you need to rebuild your Apple Loops Index: See the FAQ for how to do it:
Re-Index GarageBand's Loops
This requires two steps:
erase the old Apple Loops Index by deleting everything in
Your System Drive > Library > Audio > Apple Loops Index
and then rebuilding the Loops Index by dragging the folder containing all of your loops onto the Loop Browser in GarageBand.
If no Loops are installed in your Library, you will have to restore them from your Backup.

GarageBand '11 (6.0.5) How to reinstall MagicGB & Apple Loop Package?

Alright,
Up until the newest update to OSX Mavericks (10.9) I was able to use Magic Garageband & Apple Loops Library with the free added content that it prompted me the first time I used it, which was about 1.5 gigs of content it downloaded directly from Apple. Now since the clean install of the new OS on both my late 2012 Mac Book Pro and late 2012 Mac Mini (both are drive free versions so they came with no discs), I no longer have either of these features in GarageBand '11 (6.0.5).
Does anyone know how to reinstall/download them?
Garage band used to download them automatically the first time I started up the software but now Magic Garageband has nothing in it and I get a popup anytime I open a new project saying "Please reinstall the Apple Loop Package".
Is anyone else having this isssue?
How would I go about fixing it?
Thanks in Advance,
Michael Jos Moore

The saved effects are stored in your User Library - you need to uninstall it.
Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
Open your User Library and open the folder
~/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Plug-In Settings/Compressor/
Remove the setting you just created and saved from the "Compressor" folder.
Restart your Computer. (Don't skip this step - it is necessary in Mavericks).
Your User library is hidden by default since MacOS X 10.7. Lion.
Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house) in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
Enable "Show Library Folder".
