Midi tempo/key Apple Loops

I tried working with Apple Loops and an extensive external midi rig the other day and came to an impasse at trying to do the following.
Any suggestions?
I used a ton of Jam pack loops with original loops in exs24 and external modules
What I wanted to do is to only change the tempo of the midi tracks(ostinatto mallets) and leave the loops at existing tempo.
Basically wanted to double the tempo of the midi track against the existing audio loops...
Any way to lock the Apple Loops at existing tempo?
thanks
Pat

I guess you could do like this; Bounce the loop as a regular AIF and add to audio window, then bring it to your arrange again, and just loop it regularly. If you now change the tempo of the song - the aif will stay as it were (unless you click follow tempo...)

  • MIDI Banks and Apple Loops Trustworthy Downloads?

    I am currently attempting to locate and download MIDI banks and Apple Loops that I can use in the future, but I'm looking for a trustworthy site (a one stop shop if you will) to do this.  If we only have Garageband installed, and not Pro Logic or any other programs, then is Garageband the only program to open up and play around with our MIDI banks or Apple Loops just for fun?  I mean, is there another way we can open our loops simply to play around with and be able to pick out sounds we like, then perhaps save different sounds we like for future reference?  I'm confused on how to actually open the loops and MIDI banks, so I need someone to tell me precisely how to do this if we just want to begin exploring.  Thanks!

    You can open Apple Loops in the Quicktime Player. Many sample producers offer their libraries in Apple Loops format as well as the more traditional standard WAV nowadays, so you should have no trouble finding plenty of resources.
    Quicktime Player will also play GM MIDI files.

  • Tempo of Apple Loop

    Is it possible to let Apple Loops play on a set tempo (= not the tempo of the song and not the native tempo of the loop).
    Technically it should be possible, since the Apple Loops tempo is flexible.
    I would love to set the tempo in in the Region inspector.
    Currently, when Follow Tempo is switched off, LPX needs to make an uncompressed file to allow us to stretch the region. (and this unfortunately changes the pitch... unlike Apple Loops do in the library preview...)

    Unfortunately this doesn't work. But you can set the desired tempo and use "Bounce In Place" to "freeze" the loop.
    Best,

  • Why doesn't Logic recognize my loop as an Apple Loop

    I have challenges with getting LPX to recognize my wav > aiff file as a bona fide apple loop that I can then stretch tempos.
    I have a drum brushes loop that I exported in WIN7/Audition, saved as wav and moved over the my mac. Then I dragged it into LPX, found the correct exact tempo manually (60bpm) in order to make an Apple Loop. Couldn't do it with the wav so saved it as an aiff from within LPX. LPX sees the "tempo information" (not really) and then was able to drag into Apple Loops browser, still, didn't create the tempo meta data or whatever it does to allow me to stretch it. I drag the re-indexed loop on an audio track and it's juts the same 60 bpm loop. Changing my global tempo does not alter the tempo of the loop.
    Appreciate any help it getting another 10 bpm outta this thing for a project. Took forever to find a decent ballad drum with brushes!
    thanks

    OK that works insofar as it saves the file with no issues and I can drag into the track area (does say there is time data to import- "YES") but it doesn't change with global tempo changes.
    Also maybe there is a problem with the index? I deleted the other attempts from User Loops >SingleFiles folder but LPX still is searching for the file at every index.
    So two problems now:
    index still looks for older files
    ALU is saving but LPX not changing tempo of Apple Loop
    I read the manual re: file type.
    The File Type tag determines if an application treats a file as a looping or non-looping file. Looping files are matched to the project tempo and key— if the Key tag is set to a value other than None. Non-looping files are not matched to the project tempo or key. (Untagged files added to a project are treated as non-looping.)
    When I choose "Looping" in ALU, it changes the sound drastically which although would give tempo stretch, is probably ties to it thinking it's 120 bpm (and not 60)?
    Yet it was recorded at 60 bpm.
    The catch-22 is that the ALU can't recognize my tempo and if I change it (via choosing "looping", the only way to correct the beats btw) it messes with the sound because it's twice as fast.
    Otherwise, as a non-loop, I'm stuck with only 60 bpm (even though it has "time data" to import)

  • Using multiple arrange windows + drag apple loops from one to another

    does anyone or has anyone experienced this?
    when you drag a apple loop from on arangement to another (both the same tempo) the apple loop will not cycle correctly, and audio instruments have to be shifted via the delay parameter for both AI and Apple loops to line up. this is a frequent accurance for me.
    logic 7.1.1

    i resign this topic. guess i am the only one who uses this work flow. cheers.

  • Apple loops not folloiwng key changes

    They follow tempo changes, but not key changes. Using both "green" and "blue" loops from the Loop Browswer, as well some audio takes I recorded and converted to Apple Loops using the Loop Utility. Same result for all.
    Ideas? Thanks.

    thanks.. heres a another question now that i have it making the changes.
    is there a way to select what follows the changes and what doesnt. for example
    I edit my drum tracks in phatmatik and then bring the midi files into logic. I don't want them to change, because the drums sounds would be off and in some case triggering no sounds.
    thanks

  • Apple loops not getting saved with current projects tempo

    I can't seem to make an apple loop that would get saved with the current projects tempo....i recorded a single bar midi drum loop with 130 as project tempo but when i save it as an apple loop it gets saved with a tempo of 92bpm. strange thing is when i drag the same loop back on a instrument track it plays at the current tempo i.e., at 130bpm but if i drag it to an audio track it plays at 92bpm... really stuck here....any help would be greatly appreciated..thanx..

    ok now i have got half of the problem solved....i had left the "follow tempo" region parameter ticked....so now when i unticked it the loop follows the project tempo....but i dont understand y does the loops get saved with a tempo of 92 whereas the project tempo is 130bpm....moreover when i audition these loops they don't really LOOP while playin back....

  • Midi Apple Loops Problem

    Hi,
    Im having some issues with the midi apple loops loosing some effects that are heard when previewed in the media section, then once dragged into the arrange it'll loose for example a prevalent reverb and other notable sonic qualities...even when the plug-ins that are usually bypassed once dragged into arrange window are activated its still lacking from the preview loop heard.
    Wa gwahn?

    This is normal behavior. If you want the midi loop to sound exactly like auditioned in the preview you will have to create an audio track and move the midi region onto the audio track, and then it will sound exactly the same.

  • Midi Apple Loops sound different when dragged on to song

    When ever I drag a green midi loop from Apple Loops to my song it sounds different. All the effects are gone. I tried to put som reverb on it but it doesn't sound like it does wheyn played in the Apple Loops bar.
    How can I use the green midi loops from Apple Loops as they sound there with that effect. The blue audio Apple Loops works fine.
    I had this same problem in Logic Pro 9

    There are some differences between the audio file previews contained in the loop and the actual data, sometimes by error, sometimes intentionally so.
    For instance, if you preview an orchestral instrument, you hear it with reverb, as that's kinda how it's intended to sound, but when you drag it into Logic proper, you don't get reverb - because you will have one global reverb you send all the orchestral instrument too, rather than a hundred individual reverbs on each instrument.
    Stuff like that. It varies, but there's nothing broken as such.

  • 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

  • Tempo setting when creating Apple Loops (Utility)

    Having chopped a long audio file (drum track) into exact bar/beat settings, saved as separate audio files, I'm having trouble with tempo settings when creating Loops in Apple Loops Utility.
    The problem is that after saving a looped file (from the Utility), upon loading that loop file into the Utility again, the (interpreted) tempo of the file is now doubled, which really screws up playback and placement of the loop file.
    For example, my original tempo is 72bpm. I save the files as Looping, with the correct number of beats for each file (4 for a 1 bar file, 8 for 2 bars, etc.), and the tempo in the info section on the right side of the Utility correctly shows 72bpm. After saving the file as a loop, and then opening it again in the Utility, suddenly the tempo shows 144, and playback is at half speed.
    Oddly, I was able to successfully do this to another track from a song at a faster tempo. In that case, the loop files open as expected. And I'm using exactly the same process this time... humm???
    How can I get around this?

    Hi, thanks for the tip.
    In this case, I have not added the loop to the loop library. Therefore it is not in the browser.
    If I drag it from the audio bin, however, sometimes it will work. Other times it does not. I cannot seem to find a "cause and effect" here.
    Thanks.
    What version of Logic are you running. It works fine for me on Logic 9.1.3 in 32-bit mode. I seem to remember having the same problem as you're experiencing in Logic 8.0.2

  • 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.

  • Apple loop not responding to tempo changes

    apple loops that have been created from an audio file in the arrange window do not respond to tempo changes. when i had logic 7 there would be a change in the audio file from an audio to an apple loop icon. this is not happening w/ logic 8 although it appears to be saved in the apple loop window but still i have no access to changes being made there as well. what is thew problem?

  • Loop Beats, Tempo, Key not working properly

    Hey all,
    I've discovered a really annoying problem today. When I want to cycle through my many loops, I used to be able to order them by simply clicking on "Key" at the right hand top of the loop browser. All the loops of a particular category would then reorder themselves to from A, B, etc. Today, the browser is no longer working. I can't re-order my loops by Name, Beats, Tempo or Key.
    Is there an option I can do to reactivate this? On my friends computer, something even more bizarre occurred. He doesn't even have the loop browser there! Once he selects a loop, all he sees is the Name, not the Beats, Tempo, Key, or Favs.
    We both just installed Snow Leopard and didn't put Rosetta in. Do you guys think that could have anything to do with this? Thanks in advance for the info.
    Cheers

    See that's the problem, I can't move anything. I put my cursor on the "move" line and once I click and hold, nothing happens. It's almost as if that section of the loop browser is dead. Normally when you click on "Name" it rearranges all the loops from A to Z or from Z to A. When I click on "Name" nothing happens. I've never seen something this odd before. I'd also like to resize the window holding the Name, Tempo, etc, but again, I can't active the move function. It's quite odd given the loops work, and advanced functions work fine.
