Loops in Logic?

Hi,
I am a garage band user and I am considering upgrading to Logic 8. I use the loops in garage band a lot, but on the product page for Logic 8 there is no mention of any loops capabilities or any loops being included with the software. Meanwhile I noticed that Logic 8 requires 6GB of space or something, so I can't imagine that loops are not included.
Can any of you owners let me know what is included?
Thanks.

To know what is included you can read it on Logic Express Tech Spec:

About Loops you can read this page

cheers

  • Loops in Logic Studio, but missing otherwise...

    I see the Apple Loops Utility has been problematic for people...but i haven't seen this issue specifically:
    I have created an Apple Loop (several actually) in my Logic project. I can load them from DIFFERENT Logic projects, but if i go to the folder where the loops are SUPPOSED to be there is nothing there. The folder even says that it was recently updated, if i make a new loop, the time and date is correct, but the folder is empty. The Apple Loops Utility doesn't see these loops, but Logic does. This is messed up. How am i supposed to share my loops with my bandmate?
    OMGWTFBBQIRL??

    Hi Jaffles,
    The best thing to doo is go to the various "Apple Loops Index" folders, remove all the index files that are in there and then reindex your loops by dragging them into the loop Browser. The index files will then be rebuilt.

  • Assigning Keys to Apple Loops in Logic

    I am creating Apple Loops in Logic by selecting an audio region and then selecting "Add to Apple loops library" under the mini region menu.
    The manual states that whatever key I set in Global tracks is the key that is assigned to the loop. This works well for pitched material, but for non pitched material I don't want a key designated. I have noticed that when I set a tag to the loop of "Drums" no key is assigned, but when I set a tag of "Percussion" the key does get assigned to the particular loop. This is a problem because the pitch of the percussion changes when that Apple Loop is brought back into another Logic session that has a different key assignment the a particular loop on the Global Track.
    I understand I can designate "No Key" in the Apple Loops utility, but I prefer to make my loops straight from the Logic arrange window. I am finding the Apple Loops Utility a bit buggy. Does anyone know the most recent version of the Apple Loops Utility?
    Thank you for your help.

    Any word on a fix for this?
    I've found Apple Loops VERY buggy in L9! Not only do they not loop correctly in the browser when your project is at a sample rate other than 44.1 (for example, working for broadcast at 48k as I mostly do), but I've also seen them behaving weirdly in the arrange page.
    Today I had a truncated Apple Loop in a project which would play back differently on subsequent attempts. Sometimes it would get to bar 4, for example, and other times it would only get midway through bar 3...! And this is with basic Apple factory installed loops.
    What's up with this? I've already re-indexed and re-installed the loops. No change. No fix.
    Totally unprofessional, Apple.

  • I havent any vocal loops on logic pro. its greyed out. How do i access this?

    Have you downloaded the additional content?
    Go to menu bar in Logic.. and under Logic Pro/Download additonal Content, you will find what you need to download there..

  • Apple loops in logic pro 7

    If i use a drum loop in logic.. would i be able to remove the the kick drum or snare in certain parts of the song? eg..for build ups and break downs. i know in reason if you use a drum loop you can remove parts of the sample. because the sample is rex formatted (in slices).

    Just in case you don't already know, the EXS24 can import a REX file and in one step it assigns the individual slices to keys and exports the MIDI file to the selected sequencer track. It's quicker than loading a REX into DrRex.
    The only problem is you can't preview REX files like you can in DrRex.
    Phatmatik Pro is the other way to accomplish the same thing.
    All of them have unique and different features/options.

  • Can I delete logic pro 9 and keep all the loops for logic pro X

    I am running out of space on my computer and I want to delete as much as I can. I need to know if i delete logic pro 9 will i lose all apple loops for logic pro X.

    This is not the right forum for your question.

  • How can I change the tuning (pitch) of apple loops with logic?

    how can I change the tuning (pitch) of apple loops with logic? Is it possible at all ??? Cant get a clear information . I´m a user of Logic 9.14

    Thanks.....but... How to change the pitch within a song arrange, lets for example say the loop is in F in original tune and i want him to be played in the song arrange maybe in A.... when i draw it in the arrange window, the tune goes back to the original...

  • If I delete logic pro 9 will I lose all the loops for logic pro X?

    I want to make space on my computer and right now I have logic 9 and logic X both installed. I think I heard somewhere that if you delete Logic 9 than you delete all of the loops in Logic X, is this true?

    If you mean... delete the Logic Pro 9 app then no you wont lose any loops... However, the LP9 app is small and really won't save you that much space if you delete it..
    If you mean uninstall Logic Pro 9 plus all it's content after installing LPX then yes, you could lose some loops/content because the LPX installer takes notice of any LP9 content you have already installed.
    In otherwords, don't try and uninstall LP9 and it's content after installing LPX

  • Loops in Logic Express

    First of all I best say that I am new to Logic Express and Garageband, in fact the Mac thing so forgive the basic nature of this post. I have had some funny goings on with my mac since a failed software install so I decided to rebuild everything including the OS. Having re-installed Garageband and Logic Express I find most of the loops are missing. Some are there but all drum loops and others have gone. I tried to look up options to see if there is a tick box to install them but nothing. If I look in library, the loop directory is also missing. Can anyone suggest anything?
    Thanks
    Tetleyted

    Thanks for the reply. took a look but the directory structure as follows: HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops (Apple doesn't exist. I have a feeling that garageband and Logic Express hasn't completed the install. I have tried to re-run it but the same thing happened - no loops. Any suggestions welcomed.

  • 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).

  • Can't create loops in Logic 8.

    What is wrong with apple loops utility. I load an audio file in it and when I press save, it then says that "the file could not be saved. check the destination disk's available space and try again or choose a different location." It however shows where it was trying to save my file in another window, and of course it shows the correct place to be saved. I've tried using the save as function and choosing the destination that way and it doesn't work. I've tried renaming it and it doesn't work. I've tried adding the file to the apple loops utility by pushing the plus button and then going through all those processes and still nothing. i have gotten some work by trying the above processes at least a thousand times. Then when it works, it does not even show up automatically in Bin section like it did in Logic 7. If you click the browser tab to search for it in your projects audio folder, you might miss it because it looks like all the other audio files. The only that I was able to tell was that my audio files are aif and the apple loops are aiff. If I were to go to my desktop and open my audio files
    in my project that way, then I can see that apple loop file look like the apple loops logo. Anyway, I can't get this audio file to covert to an aplle loop because i can't save it. please help me.

    I am having the same issue now that I have switched over from using a G4 with Logic 7 running Tiger to a G5 with Logic 7 running Leopard. Can it be an issue with Leopard? It was working fine with Tiger...
    Anyway, it seems that the only work around (sort of) for this is too save the loop to your loop library and then take it from there and put back into your session. Once back in run the ALU like normal and save. It seems to work but I have noticed that once its changed into an apple loop that the loop will clip on the track!?! So I don't know how good of a solution this really is.
    Someone please help us!
    Thanks!

    I dont get why you want them to be apple loops so badly... what wrong with leaving the loops as wav's aif (or aiff), etc.. im just trying to figure out what you can do with an apple loop that you cant do with the regular audio file? cuz i find that you can not time stretch apple loops... which means i would have to use them at their own tempo which is rediculous to me.. could someone perhaps open my eyes to the benefits of apple loops that i have yet to discover??

  • Does anyone use MIDI loops in Logic Pro to compose music?

    Seriously, if anyone out there uses the MIDI loops to compose music in Logic, how the heck do you do it? Especially if you are also using audio loops, it seems almost impossible to me. The chord transpositions that you get from the chord track are not even to the right pitch, and the transposition behavior is different according to whether you drag the loops into the arrange area before or after putting the changes in the Chord track. The signature track is no better, as it doesn't seem to affect audio loops. So how do you get the bass loops etc. to play in the keys you want them to without going through extraordinary contortions? I looked at one of the Logic Pro books, and it said to transpose by using the transpose function in the inspector, but that only lets you transpose by octaves! Do you really go in and edit the loops by hand to transpose each note?
    Any pointers on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Put the mouse pointer on top of the transpose number, which is zero, hold down the left mouse button and drag up or down to transpose by steps. At the beginning of either the getting started or Logic manual there's an explanation of the different types of mouse/key behavior, if you're not used to using Logic it's a good idea to go over these.
    Also, Logic does not always use simplified Mac conventions (thank the stars for that), as a result you have a lot more variety of data input, it varies according to the task at hand.

  • Can't see Jam Pack Loops in Logic Studio Browser

    I have searched many other forums but can't find the same problem. Usually it relates to a separate disk for loops.
    I have Garageband and 4 Jam packs installed on my computer (Dual G5 latest OSX up to date). Jam pack 1, Rhythm Section, Symphony Orchestra and something else... anyway I purchased Logic Studio (8) and installed that. During installation I noticed that it detected that I already had some of the Jam Pack loops on my drive so they were "unchecked" automatically and therefore didn't install. Now when I look in the loop browser only the Jam Packs that Logic did install are viewable in my loop browser. Yet the other jam packs are indeed viewable in Garageband. All of this is installed on a single internal drive that is the system drive (500GB) by the way. So I dragged the Jam Pack folders to the logic loop browser and it appeared to be adding the loops, but they are still not visible there.
    Also, there is no dialogue box that appears to ask if I want to copy them or leave in current location as many other users have said it should ask. maybe that's because it's all on one drive though.
    The other concern is that I wonder if the software instruments that come with the jam packs would be installed/available in Logic? Surely not, if I am just adding the loops to the browser. How do I ensure that I have access to all of the loops and all of the software instruments?
    Can anyone please help with this, it would be much appreciated.

    Hi Jaffles,
    The best thing to doo is go to the various "Apple Loops Index" folders, remove all the index files that are in there and then reindex your loops by dragging them into the loop Browser. The index files will then be rebuilt.

  • Creating new 'category/index' for apple loops in logic

    As well as the standard apple loops, I currently have an additional apple loops jampack & a number of self-made apple loops.
    These have been indexed automatically, & can be referenced via the drop-down on the top right of the loop browser as 'jampack' & 'my loops' respectively.
    I've just bought a 3rd party dvd of apple loops, & would like to be able to reference these via the same kind of category in the loopbrowser drop down, however, the 3rd party DVD has no 'installer' like the official jampack, but instead just has folders of 'apple-loopyfied' AIFFs to drop in the loop browser.
    I assume if this is the case they will appear by default under 'my loops', which isn't ideal - is there a way I can manually create another category(/folder?) for these loops which I can reference via Logic's loop browser drop-down?
    Any help appreciated
    Adam

    ok, still stuck on this but have found the following from page 61 on 'new in logic 7.2'
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/NewFeatures_in_Logic_Pro7.2.pdf
    'To keep things tidy, the loop browser offers advanced loop management tools, the jam pack management drop-down allows you to limit the display to loops from a specific jam pack, or other folder' .....then....describing an option from the pull-down, 'vendor x - choose to play loops from a specific third party vendor'
    - this looks perfect for what i want to do, but i assume a vendor must include certain data/meta-data in their loops for this indexing to work & display under vendor x as a dropdown, how do i know if the dvd I have bought will have this? hmmmm....
