Manually Index Apple Loops in Logic Studio?

I've been using Puremagnetik (www.puremagnetik.com) Apple loops for quite a while now and they all worked fine until I installed Logic Studio. Now the browser doesn't see them. Is there a way manually "force" index the Apple Loop Browser? I remember in Logic 7 there was a way to do this, but I don't see it here.

yes, you can use these freely.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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....

  • 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.

  • Trying to re-index apple loops. can't...

    Ok, i've read the manual, done forum searches and ˆˆcan't seem to get the factory apple loops to show up in the browser.
    i've tried drag the folder into the browser, and also tried highlighted and dragging the files themselves, but a dialog box flashes for a second and no loops get indexed there.
    I've also tried dragging them into the soundtrack loop utility, where they then show up in the list. when i then opened logic, the loops were in the browser, but upon trying to play them, i was told that " the files couldn't be located, do i want to re-index the loops" i clicked yes. and they all disappeared. tried dragging them to the loop utility again. next time i opened the loop browser in logic. they weren't there still.
    can anyone help me out?
    thanks,
    rob

    jord, i did also try moving individual files, and they just won't add to the index. the window saying it's indexing pops open for a split second and disappears. nothing gets indexed. it must be a problem with not having an index file in the apple loops index folder. i must have accidentally trashed it, but i would have imagined it would recreate one. someone even suggested trashing it.
    I also tried re-installing garage band, and i checked the files, and they are read and write. I've also updated to 7.1.1. And these are the original apple loops which i can't get indexed. Strange.
    I wonder, if someone emailed me an index file, maybe i could re-index then.
    any ideas, offers?

  • 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??

  • 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 index Apple Loops

    I moved my Apple Loops to an external hard drive because I was running out of space but when I went to open an Apple Loop it could not find it.
    I tried continue but that couldnt find it so tried re index loops and now the loop browser has only a few loops I put in and most of the catagories are not highlighted for me to pick.
    any help welcome.
    1) can I have loops on a seperate drive?
    2) how do I get the loop Browser back to normal?
    thanks,

  • 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.

  • Problems with indexing and Apple Loops on External Drive

    Ok, so I've recently moved my entire "Apple Loops" folder to an external drive and created an alias pointing back the "Audio" folder where the apple loops folder used to reside. The problem is when I bring up the loop browser, it's not finding the loops. Do I need to move the Apple Loops Index to the external hard drive as well? I assumed by creating an alias, it would just go to my external drive.

    Someone had said that it's better to use the alias for the apple loops since Logic will always go to where it expects the loops to be first. Which I'm assuming would be faster. But, if it truly doesn't matter and I should just drop all my apple loop folders one by one from my external hard drive, then I"ll do that. Anyone heard about what's faster....alias Vs. external HD direct path?

  • Can Not Find Apple Loops files that came with Logic 7

    I recently reinstalled my system and upgraded to leopard but am still running Logic 7.
    My problem is that all of the apple loops that came with the application are no longer accessable for some reason.
    I can view all of the loops in the loop browser, but any time I click on one to preview, it comes up with this error message: "Club Dance Beat 038.caf" - what kind of file is this?" It seems like all of the files are .caf.
    When I search my system to try and find the loops, I cant find any loops that seem to go with logic. There are apple loops for garage band and soundtrack pro but not logic.
    Can anyone help me in accessing my apple loops for logic? Shouldnt these things just come with the application when I install it? That does not seem to be the case here for whatever reason.
    thanks much

    Your "problem" is that you now own the Garageband Loops, which are in the new .caf format.
    Your version of Logic cannot open these files.
    These .caf files were introduced with Logic 8. You would do good to upgrade Logic, if you really need to use those files.
    Cheers

  • Apple loops have disappeared?

    I clicked on Re-Index apple loops user library, and all my loops disappeared. I went on garageband and re indexed them again there, but not all of my loops have appeared.
    I've reindexed spotlight, I've re installed Logic, but they're still not there. Why? 130 pounds isn't cheap for software that doesn't work...
    Oh and also some of the instruments have disappeared.
    http://prntscr.com/1xwqty
    I've got a **** of a lot of work to do for tomorrow (which I NEED logic for) and I can't bloody use it.
    How do I get them back?

    So were mine (I forgot to put in "Audio") but they aren't any longer and I'm wondering why Spotlight can't see them.

  • My Apple Loops are not selectable. Can anyone help me with this please?

    Whenever I open up my Apple Loops on Logic Pro X, they are not selectable.
    I have tried reinstalling the program and reinstalling the loops, but that did not work.
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    What do you mean.. nothing happened?
    Make sure you followed the instructions exactly.....
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Click Spotlight.
    Click the Privacy tab.
    Drag a folder or an entire volume (your hard drive) to the list.
    If prompted for confirmation, click OK.
    Remove the item or volume you just added to the list by clicking it and then clicking the minus ("-") button.
    Close Spotlight preferences.
    Spotlight will re-index the contents of the folder or volume.

  • Is there really a tutorials DVD with Logic Studio?

    Hi there. I installed Logic Studio a couple of days ago and so far its going great. One questions I had is about the INSTALLING YOUR SOFTWARE booklet that came in the box. On page 2 about halfway down it says;
    "Logic Studio Demo Songs and Tutorials DVD: The DVD contains a collection of demo songs and video tutorials for your Logic Studio applications. The disk is also a DVD-cVideo, so you may view the tutorials using the DVD player application or any compatible, stand-alone DVD player."
    I can open up and play the DEMO files just fine (the roots, plaid etc) but I am not able to play any Tutorials with the "DVD PLAYER" application on my computer.
    Other DVDs (like movies) play just fine and of course I was able to install Logic Studio so the DVD drive itself works fine.
    Any thoughts? Am I reading this wrong? Has anyone found the Logic Studio tutorial videos that come in the box?
    Thanks,
    Morris
