Loops in tracks sound muddled

Hi
I have a problem with my loops. They play ok in the browser, but when I move them to a track they sound like they are muffled or under water. Any ideas what could be going on? Are instrument libraries part of the installation? I can't find any documnetation on where loops or libraries are supposed to be or contain.
thanks

Yes, best I can tell.
In addition to all the loops, is there any requirement for all the instrument libraries? What it sounds like is that only a portion of the data for the track shows up. Is there a way to tell if a loop needs supporting data to function as a track. It is odd that it plays ok in the browser, but not in the track.

  • Looping a track infinitely

    I want one track to keep on repeating forever, while I record a solo in the other.
    Using "Cycle Region" causes both tracks to cycle.
    I only want the loop track to cycle.
    How do I loop a track infinite times?
    I have used copy/paste to paste a loop repeatedly in one track.
    But this approach limits me to a fixed recording time.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks, guys!
    Yes, that works nicely and pragmatically.
    Of course, the time of 20 minute solos in published music is gone.
    The aim is to record long solos, but sample the sweetest excerpts to form a final arrangement, of less than 5 minutes.

    Hey, sabermaster-
    Not at the moment, though you can create your own loop effects by using triggers on the timeline.  What specific functionality are you looking for?

  • Looping single Tracks

    GarageBand 10.0.3
    OS X 10.9.5
    Hi!
    I want to loop single tracks in GarageBand. These are Midi Tracks, Support tells me I Should go over the track region with cmd to get the loop option as shown on the pic. I don't get that possibility, I can use the cycle function but this repats all tracks.
    Do I have to add my track to the loop section first? Tried that but when I drag it back and into the loop section GarageBand tells me doesn't loop anyway.
    Thanks for the help!

    Did you select "Type: Loop" when you added the region to the Loop Library? Otherwise it will not loop, but is a one-shot loop.
    But you should be able to loop a region without adding it to the Loop library. Check in the track header, if the "Automation" button is highlighted. In that case it is not possible to loop a region. If you disable automation, you should see the curly loop cursor, if you select the region, and move the cursor to the upper right corner of the region - where the color of the region is lighter.

  • Midi loops in browser sound different in arrange window controller messages

    I have a problem with controller messages as well with fx
    I audition a midi loop it has FX and then drag it to arrange window
    sounds different, I know of ther is another topic about the FX,
    But as well controller messages not being read right
    say a Timpani loop, foot controller is not reading
    so the timpani roll is gone

    This is not a problem, it's intentional design.
    The preview audio contains reverb for these instruments, because the sound is in context - it let's you hear it how you are typically going to use it, and use can use it as an audio loop without problems.
    When you load it as MIDI, it does not add another reverb to the channel because it assume you are going to use a global reverb, rather than add individual reverbs per channel - this is the generally better way of doing it, and avoids new users having a hundred reverbs on individual channels when they only need one.
    As for articulations switched by MIDI, the preview audio can contain only one sample, but if there are different articulations, they need to be played/switched accordingly.
    It's not a bug, it's the way it works for flexibility in the main. You have to remember, that when stepping up from a entry-level program to a professional one, a lot of hand-holding that the entry level programs do is no longer there, and so you can feel like the pro version is "less good" than the entry one. This is not the case - professional users do not need hand-holding, and that generally gets in the way.

  • Loops to track.

    Dual 1 GHz Power 2 MB L3 cache processor   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  
    I just started to use loops in Logic and the drums are real easy to use, but when I try out one of the instruments, it plays in the right key as the songs in, but when I drag it to a track it changes to a diffrent key, what's up? Thanks.

    To add to Justin's post, check your global key signature track as well. Make sure that it is set to the key of the song.

  • Looping a track whilst recording

    Hi there, I am trying to record a new track, to a looping track in real time. But I am stopped short of my new recording track, at the end of the loop that repeats itself, and therefore can record no further than the end of my loop.
    Hope that makes sense.
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    That's strange. Is there a way to get around that?
    Not the way you're doing it, no.
    How do you record vocals over a loop for example?
    You drag the bottom right corner of the loop as far out as you want to make it repeat.

  • Digital 8 Track & Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Plati

    I have a Korg D8 Digital Recorder. I recorded some of my songs to it this afternoon, and now I want to get the music saved to my PC. How can I do this? I have the optical out on my Korg hooked up to the front of my PC at the optical in on the Sound Blaster. Now I have no idea where to go from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Get to know below mentioned software st.
    Set Audigy for recording (CT Surround Mixer or Windows Play/Recording Controls and Creative Audio Console or CT Panel) -
    - select playback and recording source: S/PDIF n + enable it,
    - S/PDIF n settings ->set samplerate: same as you have used in Korg, bit-accurate recording
    - before final recording, just chck if you can hear anything coming from Korg
    Depending on what you like to do...
    Record from Korg as Stereo:
    - open Creative Media Sourec (or any other recording software)
    - set input and recording source to S/PDIF n
    - record
    Record every 8 tracks in Korg into individual tracks in software (if this is possible to do in Korg ... send one track at a time):
    - get some multitracking/sequencer software
    - set track for recording, set input source, record one tarck at a time --> add a new track in software for every new track send from Korg ...

  • Final Cut why music track sounds badly compressed?

    I have a music track that sounds just great if I listen to it under Quick Time Pro,  However, that same song simply imported in Final Cut then added to a project sounds like a pumping compressor, destroying the song completely.  Why Final Cut cannot simply use it the way it is rather than adding an additional (badly set) audio compressor ?

    Hi,
    It wasn't clear to me if you're just playing the project on the timeline or the problem only happens after exporting it? Which could make a difference.
    The only way FCPX should change your audio, automatically, is if the settings for Audio are setup in settings under Import
    You can check if this has been done on your audio by selecting the audio file in the timeline and checking the Audio Enhancements section - like this screenshot below.
    Click on this Audio Analysis button to check any automatic adjustments - and turn them off, if necessary.
    If that's not set to anything, then it would have to be a bug of some kind. I've had issues with audio when exporting only (played fine in the timeline)
    How are you importing by the way. Does it happen if you just create a new project and drag the file in from Finder straight onto the timeline?

  • Reading userbit track / sound synch

    Sorry I've been looking for this info but can't find it...
    Can FCP (version 5) read the userbit track on the HDCAM-SR tape?
    My general procedure for working with the format in the past has been to record linear TC in the regular TC track and TOD TC from the sound mixer on to the userbits (and 2nd audio channel) for sound synch. This way, the unbroken TC makes it easier for digitizing, however, before was working with avid and unsure if I can do it with FCP.
    What other method can someone suggest? is there a "group by timecode" function in FCP?
    There is no transfer house as it will be a fully native HD 23.98 sequence.
    Thank you.
    Best,
    -felipe.

    I don't know of a way to tell FCP to read the userbit track...

  • Saved backing track sounds out of tune

    Hi everyone,
    I am having problems recording external audio (a backing track with drums and keyboards) from my synthersizer to Garageband. Sometimes when I do this it is saved successfully but it sounds out of tune and I am not sure why this is?
    My synthersizer is connected to my apple computer with an audio cable and I always try to make sure that the tempo of the track on my Korg Triton Extreme synthersizer is the same as the tempo/speed on the track I have created on Garageband.
    Any advice about this matter would be gratefully received.
    Many thanks.

    Sculpture is not like other synths, period. One can't assume it obeys the laws of traditional subtractive or FM synthesis. The beast acts like a string. If the tension is slack, like putting a .07 string on the first string of a guitar, the note will be flat when struck and then become more in tune as is decays. Sculpture requires a lot of tweeking time to understand. The string tension, density and resolution are critical parameters. The higher or lower the note requires settings to couteract out of tune notes via these parameters. There are also "residual" effects that happen, perhaps even bugs. For instance, sometimes a reverb from the end of a track that had not finished it's tail before stopping, will be continued when the track is started from the beginning again. Sculpture has these residual effects but they can take different forms. Sculpture takes into account the vibrations of any note previous to a note played. That's to say if you play a note fresh with no note having been played before it, it will sound different if you played the same note and there had been a note played previous to it because it understands there are vibrations already happening which it encompasses into the new vibrations. So if there are vibrations still tailing off and you hit stop, those vibrations may act again at the beginning of the song and change the tuning of the first few notes. To make sure this doesn't happen, extend the song end and let any tails of synthesis or reverbs to complete before starting the song again. That being said, you will never get the same sound twice with Sculpture, it will play differently every time! It's almost human. Lovely synth, my friend.

  • How do you get loops to keep sounding ?

    Hi, perhaps I've misunderstood the function of loops, but this is what I've done:
    1. set up 3 regions in logic, played in a couple of bars on each, and turned each one into a loop.
    2. deleted the tracks and then dragged the loops into the 3 regions
    I thought, that when I clicked Play, they would keep repeating until I clicked Stop They didn't !
    My aim was to create a 30 second section of music with the loops continually repeating in the background, and me recording a solo passage over the top.
    Is this possible in Logic ?
    Thanks, Kay.

    Select the region and press "L" on your keyboard. The region will loop to the end of the project. Move the mouse cursor to the top right corner of one of the loops and click to have the loop sections end at that point.
    Alternatively, move the mouse over the top right corner of a region. The cursor turns into the loop tool. Now drag to the right until you want the loop to end.

  • Looping Audio Track

    I have checked the 'loop' option in the property inspector on
    an audio track that I placed in the 2nd audio chanel. However, it
    does not loop...once it gets to the end it stops and that's it.
    Anyone know what's going on? Thanks!

  • Cannot drag blue loops into track.

    When I try and drag a preset/blue loop into my track, I get a message saying 'Not and Audio Track' as below.  How can I fix this?  Thank you.

    You don't have to fix anything, becasue nothing is broken.
    The Problem
    Blue Apple Loops can only be dragged onto an Audio Track (Mic or Guitar). All your Tracks in your Screenshots are MIDI Tracks and that's why get the warning message.
    The Solution
    Create an Audio Track in your Project and drag the Blue Apple Loop onto its Track Lane.
    Click on the Plus button above the Track List
    That opens the "New Track Dialog" where you select the Mic Icon
    Click Create and a new Audio Track is created in your Project
    All that info and much much more can be found in my new manual "GarageBand X - How it Works"
    Hope that helps
