Menu option: Add to Apple Loops Library

Hi,
I'm using David Nahmani's Logic Pro lesson book for level 1 certification. In this lesson (lesson 7 on page 264), when I open the "Add to Apple Loops Library" window, the items TYPE and SCALE should be choosable, but they are grayed out.
As the book indicates, to turn a region into an Apple Loop it must be a whole integer in length. The one I created is. It's a two bar region, just as the book told me to create, from 5 1 1 1 to 7 1 1 1, which the help tag also indicates.
Continuing on in the lesson anyway, with the TYPE and SCALE choices not accessible, results in an Apple Loop that is different than what the results in the book show in three ways. In the Loop Browser, when searching for and finding my newly created Apple Loop, 1) The tempo information column should indicate the tempo 73, but it indicates 0. 2) The % results column should indicate 98%, but it indicates 0%, and 3) the "Play in" pulldown menu should alter the key of the loop, but all choices result in the same original key. I don't know why the TYPE and SCALE items were grayed out, and I don't know why the other problems are occurring as well.
There are 5-6 other basic components to this that I rechecked over and over to make sure I was following the directions exactly and it seems I have. If anyone has any ideas I'd greatly appreciate hearing them.
Thank you,
Aaron

  • Logic 9 Pro won't load apple loops library or EXS24 Instruments!

    First off, specs:
    I'm running 9.1.8 on OSX 10.8.2
    I recently purchased a brand new 13" MacBook Pro (early this december) and used migration assistant to transfer my accounts, apps, and such from my old hard drive to my new one. Everything seems to be in its place and running fine, except for Logic 9 Pro.
    Whenever I load up a session featuring the EXS24 sampler, the loading bar will hang up upon loading the instrument, eventually turn into the spinning wheel of death, and become unresponsive. This also happens when I create a new session, open up a new instance of EXS24, and attempt to load a patch. All of the other stock Apple instruments load up just fine.
    I also noticed that Logic can't locate my Apple Loops Library, as every option in the loop browser is grayed out. I went into my library folder and found the EXS patches as well as the Apple loops, so I know they're there!
    Unfortunately, I don't have a Logic 9 CD (It came preinstalled on my previous computer), so to my knowledge reinstallation isn't an option, unless there's a way to reinstall Logic 9 without a CD and without losing my license. I've already tried the following to resolve this issue:
    - Reindexing spotlight
    - Reindexing loop browser
    - Disabling spotlight on the volume where the Logic files reside
    - Deleting the Logic 9 preference file
    If anyone has any insight or a way to reinstall Logic 9 Pro without a CD and without losing my license, it'd be greatly appreciated!

    Hi
    You probably need to re-index the Loop Library.
    In Logic 9 control click on the Loop Library and choose "Reindex"
    In Logic X use the Loops Menu at the top and again, choose "ReIndex".
    If that does not do it, you may need to manually remove the Index files

    Is It Possible To Add A Phine Number To iMessage WITHOUT an iPhone????
    No, the only phone number you can add to iMessages is an iPhone number tied to the same Apple ID. However, as Jim explained, you don't need a number in iMessages to contact other iOS users. If you are not receiving messages from other iOS users, the problem is NOT the lack of a number.
    You do seem a little confused about how the iMessages works. People will message you at your Apple ID (which may well be the same as your primary email address). However, the messages appear in the Messages app, not your email. No checking of email is required. You will, of course, have to check the Messages app.

  • Apple Loops from Regions problem...

    Greetings,
        Having a problem when I add a region to Apple Loops in Logic Express 8....
          I've read some similar threads, but nothing that answers these issues..
        After creating a region using the Ultrabeat or a synth (all internal), I'll select the region and go up
           to the 'Region' drop down menu and select the first option, 'Add to apple loops library'...
         I came across this process naturally and it seemed to work fine, but then some of the loops created
             acted differently than others.  When I drag some of them into the Arrage area, and press play,
                they will playback no matter what position they are at.
            For example if I have a beat that starts at 1., but I have the recently added 'problem' loop at 4.,
              this 'problem' loop will play back from 1 as well, no matter if it's at 4, or 24...
           I'm not sure why this is happening to some and not others....???
              Did i accidentally do something to these that I didn't do to the others?
           Also, I figured I'd just delete them and create new ones, but then I couldn't find them ANYWHERE
              on my harddrive!!!???   I really don't get this one...
             I've read about the Apple Loops Utility now and I guess i should use that for future loop creation?
                I really don't understand how the loops I made are no where to be found, not even in the
                     Apple Loops/User Loops folder....
             Would really, really appreciate if someone could help w/ this conundrum!

    Ouch.... That's a real bummer.
    I would recommend trying the "re-conversion" with just a few loops and seeing how it works for you. I've had to do this before as well. I had a library from L7 that I had converted using ALU inside L8's arrange window. For some reason, the loops that I had never used in that project that I had converted were not converted after I deleted the project that I used them in... make sense? not to me either....
    The whole Apple Loop Utility is awesomely useful sometimes and buggy to the point of frustration at others....
    Also, is there any consistent pattern to the "off-timeiness" of the loops? (i.e: only midi loops, only audio loops, only slows down, only speeds up, "choppy", etc...)

  • 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.

  • Creating Apple loops within the arrange window

    I have tried this before and had the same result again and again.
    I have a stereo recording of a drum kit at 120 bpm which I have chopped to a 2 bar cycle and want to turn it into an apple loop. to fit it into the song I am working on which is at 100 bpm.
    I select "add to apple loops library" from the Region drop down menu in the arrange window. the apple loops genre selection window opens which adds it to the apple loops browser. easy!
    But when I drop the loop back into the arrange window onto an Audio track within the same song which is 100bpm, it stays at the original tempo and doesn't snap to the bar. but still loops stretches and does what an apple loop should do but at the wrong tempo. what is that all about?

    with an extra note to my comment above
    if you've dropped the loop from the apple loop browser to the arrange window you then have to open it again in apple loop utility to sort it out by selecting "open in apple utility" from the Audio drop down menu on the arrange window which gives you a chance to edit it properly and now I have a decent loop. but then I have to save it again in the initial menu "add to apple loops" which I have to reclassify it again I thought it'd be a good idea to actually get rid of the first menu choice "add to apple loops" window and just have a window within logic which uses the same engine as apple loops utility and uses the same audio channel (the Last enabled channel in the Environment to Audition the loop because now when Apple loop utility opens the core Audio gets confused and comes out of my comuter speaker and then after a few cycles comes out of the Interface. I think there are too many "menu this", "loop utility that's" going on in logic. I do hope Logic 8 is going to trim away all the excess Lard which Logic has gained since mac took it off Emagic.

  • Adding apple loops?

    Hi guys,
    Wonder if you can help me with this.
    I have a few Big Fish sample cd's that have apple loops on them, is there a way I can add them so they show up in the logic apple loops browser in the appropriate section?
    Where would I need to copy them? I have all my samples on an external hd so would it be possible to reference them to show up in the browser??
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    I am having trouble making my own apple loops and am hoping someone can helo: When I highlight an audio region in the arrange window, use the "add to apple loops library" under the local region command, the loop shows up in the apple loops browser, but it is an empty audio region when i drag into the arrange window to an audio track. when i drag a midiloop into the browser, it seems to work out fine, and i can create a green apple loop, but not with audio. i've noticed, that the loops are saved under users/library/apple loop/user loops/single files, but even when i try to import the audio files from this folder as audio into the arrange window or audio window, they still come up as empty files. can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
    thanks in advance.

  • How to Edit names within Loop Library

    I've edited a MIDI Apple Loop from Jam Packs and saved it as an MIDI Apple Loop in the library.
    What I typed in as a name for the file is not what appeared in the loop library?
    1. Why did the text alter from I typed?
    2. How can I edite the name in the within loop library.
    3. How do I delete apple loops I've created from the apple loop library?
    Thank you
    - I did look in the manual and within the user help in Logic, but could find nothing. I know I must be looking under the wrong 'key word' search.
    What can I say!

    You must select the green loop in the Arrange and go to Region menu "Add loop to the library" something like that or drag and drop the region to the Library in the Media dock.
    This way a new dialog will show( see the picture below ) where you need to fill new "unique" name or to add some user (sub name), choose the group etc.
    2. How can I edite the name in the within loop library.
    3. How do I delete apple loops I've created from the apple loop library?
    You "user" green loop is stored to ...user/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops.
    Browse to this dir and edit or delete the loop.
    You "user" green loop is stored to ...user/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops.
    Browse to this dir ( you will find a folder labeled as "Single" or something like that open it ) and edit or delete the loop in question.

  • 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,

    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".

    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.

  • Apple Loops disappeared

    Hi gang,
    I created two Apple Loops from a couple audio regions in my session so I could adjust the tempo. Only one of the regions succesfully converted and imported to an apple loop, but now my entire Apple Loop library is gone and I have have those two loops that I created. (of which only one works with audio in it)
    How can I restore my Loops library?
    Much thanks,

  • Can I relocate the Apple Loops & Index folder to another drive?

    There's like 10GB of Apple Loops on my boot drive. I would LOVE to move all of that stuff off to a data drive. Is there a PLIST file or something that tells SoundtrackPro, etc where this treasure-trove of stuff is located - or is it hardwired to be in the Library folder on the boot drive?

    Hello,
    Loops reside in a few files.
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops
    ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops (if you installed any thiord party guys)
    The index files are here:
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index
    ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index
    To move the loops to an external drive:
    1. Move all of the loops from the Apple Loops folders above and move them to the external drive.
    2. Delete all of the Index files.
    3. Use the Loop Browser to reindex the loops from the new drive.
    Be sure to drag the loops as individual folders (in other words if you store them in a folder called loops and then have groups of loops under that) if you don't, you will have one large group instead of several smaller ones. It makes it easier to find what you want.

  • Missing / No "Apple Loops Index" Folder of TXT Files

    I've been having a weird issue for a while now, even after doing a clean install of Yosemite again. It seems I've never had an Apple Loops Index folder in my Macbook's Library, and even when I make one from scratch in the proper location and run a loops re-index from both LPX and GarageBand, no .txt index files are made. I've never seen the folder or files before. The reason why I'm asking about this is because I've had some issues with missing Apple Loops folders that I definitely have in my HD library, but they won't show up. Many support forums advised trashing the Apple Loops Index text files and re-indexing, but I have no way of finding this folder. Has anyone experienced this or read any similar issue reports?
    Thanks!

  • Hide the delete menu item from a specific document library

    I want to hide the Delete  item menu option for a specific document library.Since it is for a specific library I would not like to use customcore.js approach.Please suggest some useful javascript for same.
    I have a custom delete action associated with the menu which performs other function as well so need to hide the OOB delete option from the item  menu of a document library.
    I have already used below javascript in CEWP which I added on the document library page itself(allitems.aspx) but yeild no results:

  • Rectangle on screen, doubled menu options

    Hi,
    I have a Mac Mini with OSX 10.4, 1 gigabyte RAM. Recently a black rectangle showed up on my monitor. This rectangle moves around on the screen, dependent on the option or screen item that I activate at the specific moment. Besides that I see double menu options in the Apple menu (top left of the screen): twice the options ‘log off’, ‘switch off’ and ‘restart’.
    The Mac is operating fine, yet this bothers me. A virus, other scary stuff?
    Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance,
