Playing Loops in L8

Bear with me, I recently upgraded to Logic 8 from Logic 6.4... so the loop thing is new to me. I can audition the "green" loops in the loop browser, but when I drop them onto the arrange window (in an instrument track or in a blank space) they don't play in any audio (the little track meter registers as if it is, but there's nothing). So, for example, I drop Classic Rock Beat 06 onto the arrange window. It loads--though, interestingly enough, one sample is missing. Anyways, there's no audio when I play it. I've tested several of the "green" loops, same thing. The blue ones are fine.
Thanks in advance, I'm sure it's something "Doh!" worthy.

I am having the same problem with my Jam Pack loops. I bought the jam packs a few years ago and have been using them fine with my iBook. I put them on an external drive (trying to keep the iMac HD empty) and dropped the folder on my loops browser. They've worked fine with my iBook for years. I just got a new iMac and, again, dropped the folder on my loops browser. They play fine in the browser, but when I drop them in the timeline I only hear a faint beat.
Any suggestions?

  • Sym.play("loop"); This is not working

    Please'm having problems with the LOOP. 've Followed several tutorials but the file does not end LOOP function. You guys could send me a link where I can get a solution to this problem?
    // play the timeline from the given position (ms or label)
    sym.play("loop"); This is not working (sorry for the english: Translate)

    sym.play("loop"); will move the root timeline playhead to the "loop" label, and play from that "loop" label.
    If you want to loop a section, for example, you could put a label called "loop" at 1 second, and then at 3 seconds, add a timeline trigger that has the code sym.play("loop");

  • FIX SLIDE SHOW FREEZE (auto play / loop) IWEB 09

    IWEB 09
    I Dropped a still shot slide show quicktime video onto my home pg. I used inspector to remove the play menue bar tab and then selected the video to AUTO PLAY and LOOP
    When you go to the site everything is fine until your mouse curser crosses over the video and you simultaneously scroll down... it freezes the video and unless your smart enough to double click on the video to start play again it will just freez up.
    Why is this happeneing? how do we avoid this? the whole purpose to dropping a video on your pg and having it run in auto play and loop is to be hands free and allow playback while you navigate... it shouldn't freeze up like that
    anyone ever have this issue? know how to fix it?
    Would very much appreciate your help
    go to www.flatironfinishes.com you will see what I am talking about
    Thank you!!

    yeah you bring up a good point, I think as I was reading tutorial on how to upload audio and auto play/loop it I added it to the pg. and then took the company logo and pasted over that audio box...... later I wtched tutarial on uploading a quicktimes video and auto playing / looping
    Yeah I am not to savy on codes and website building.... but can go back into IMOVIE and add in the audio to the movie file and have only one file...
    Thank you for pointing that out.
    now the html snippet is not recognizig the folder and file in my FTP files?? so the quicktime icon is showing.
    So lets say I combine the audio and the video and then drag n drop it into the home pg. as originally done...
    If it continues to freeze when you move the cursure over the video and scroll down..... what would I do?
    moving the curser over the video does nothing its the combonation of scroilling down and having the curser over the video that it freezes up??
    appreciate you guys walking e through this
    S
    I am getting closer... I think?

  • I created a theme and a slideshow in iDVD. The theme (intro) plays looped in the preview, but does not go on to the slideshow. How do I "un"loop it?

    I created a theme and a slideshow in iDVD. The theme (intro) plays looped in the preview, but does not go on to the slideshow. How do I "un"loop it?

    Perhaps someone on this forum has done what you are asking and would be more help than me. 
    I think it could be done, but you'd have to do some fiddling around. The concept is to make the iDVD theme part of your iDVD or iMovie created slideshow, so that it will play as part of the slideshow.
    I don't know if this will work, but if I were experimenting I would try creating an iDVD project with just the theme in it, and then save that to your desktop as a disc image.  When you click on the icon of the disc image you have just created, you will see a Video_TS folder.  Open that and you will see a file containing the letters VOB.  Open that file. 
    You need to convert that VOB file back to DV or Quicktime Movie which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need  the free download MPEG Streamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/, which I believe costs about $20.
    Open MPEG Streamclip and drag the VOB file to its window.  Go to the MPEG Streamclip file menu and click on Export to DV. 
    After the export is done, you will have a DV file containing the iDVD theme.  I would try adding that clip as your first entry in your slide show, assuming that you are running iDVD7.  (You can't add a movie to a slideshow in iDVD6.)  When you play your slideshow hopefully it will play the DV clip containing the theme, then seamlessly followed by your slide show.   If it doesn't, try instead exporting the VOB file to a Quicktime Movie, and then try to add the Quicktime movie to your slideshow.
    You might be able to do this easier if you created your slideshow in iMovie instead of iDVD.  You could make an iMovie with the iDVD theme clip as the lead clip, and then share your iMovie project to iDVD. 
    Good luck with this.  As I said, perhaps someone else has an easier way to do this and will chime in. 

  • No audio when auditioning or trying to play loops

    First time using Garage Band. Trying to audition loops. The sound is on. But it won't even show any movement/lights on the equalizer thing. So it should be playing but it isn't. Any help out there?
    Thanks!

    Yes! I am talking about the same. It is simply showing a cross on the screen with the message as stated above.

  • My loop browser is playing loops that arent on the Hard drive!??!???!

    I have 60's shuffle drummer 01 02 03 etc that i threw out a long time ago. I just repaired perms, repaired disk. Now
    i have these loops in the browser and they play
    but i do not ( ive looked everywhere ) have them on my computer's HD. Isnt it absolute that what is played in the browser must be on the HD somewhere?
    This is the strangest thing that has happened?
    any clues?
    any???

    thanks so much... for your time and expertise.
    1-I want to organize the loop browser so that if i want lets say only electric guitar solo loops or just drum fill loops I could bring all those up in the browser where it says show all ( in the very left column) and they would appear in the same amount ( minus those in 3/4 or 6/8) as they are in the subfolder in the Apple loops HD folder. Thats the first concern i have.
    2-i am not really really sure that every loop i have in my HD (lib>audio>apple loops folder is actually listed in the loop browser. I bought several different third party loops and some have odd names and so forth all in all i must have 6 thousand loops or more...Id like to make sure that they are all indexed properly. Id like to start from scratch. So as not to get duplicate problems etc etc. I would feed the route Hard drive initially free of any loops from an external HD with the loops and re drag the loops in their respective folders onto the HD and then the browser and reindex them so that im sure im doing it right.
    thats the goal. I would ofcourse trash the index document before i do this.
    I understand with prefs unchecked (no filter) the only loops that wont be showing will be those with different time signatures.
    Now, in my newly made HD loop folder ill have subfolders with loops for electric guitars, acoustic guitars, drum kits, drum fills, etc. etc
    What im asking therefore is if i have subfolders with more specific loops in them is it just a matter of dragging each sub folder over the browser and when i go to the browser to search them, I would simply have to click on the very left column where it gives you the options show all etc..
    and i should see the loops in each of these subfolders (minus the different time signature loops) as they are on the Hard Drive?
    i found that Jam Pack 4 orchestral is only loadable if you do it in small amounts. It will not take the whole folder and index. ( thats my experience ).
    So are these feats possible and can i do them the way ive stated it so far?
    now the catch and the problem im having here is that the loops have been assigned different instruments genres that conflict with what i would like. I am not going to go in and change all of them to suit me in APPLE SOUND UTILITY.
    i just want to know they are all indexed and that i can grab them with the above method. do let me know
    i thank you so much.

  • Playing looping video on a USB drive on a TV

    Is there any universal codec to play a video on a USB for a TV with direct USB plug-in? I have tried h.264, and .avi, but to no avail.

  • Play looping video when powered on

    I want to use an iPod as a video playback device in an installation. It will play a looping video continuously. I would like it to begin doing this when powered up, is there a way?
    Thanks!
    Matt

    It's probably Protected Mode or Enhanced Security blocking your ability to:
    1. Reach the URL
    2. Open the player required to play the video
    3. Or Both
    You can try disabling both as  a test to find out.

  • Can mulitiple Apple TV's be synchronized to play looped video material?

    I am wondering if it's possible to assemble a number of Apple TV's and have them play identical length clips, and remain synchronized for 6-8 hours. I am planning to play HD material with a 24 bit, 48kHz sound track.
    thanks

    You might be able to get close but there is no automatic syncing so it would be down to trying to start them all manually, so I assume this wont do for you. The tv also won't play 24 bit 48 Khz audio

  • Sound looping using Swiffy export to HTML5

    I am facing a problem when I export my flash using Google SWIFFY to HTML5!
    It wont play my sound track layer as loop anymore. only play it once when luanching the page in HTML5 and then it stops!
    I changed the settings in my Flash sound properties from Start to Event , from Repeat to Loop etc. but still not a change in exported result, can you advise me how can I get this soundtrack works as loop when I export it using Swiffy? Thanks a lot.
    Ali

    Just in case anyone else comes looking into this issue....
    I quote the warning message after exporting a flash file:
    Swiffy Flash Extension for Win v1.1.1 [Swiffy v5.2.0]
    - Warnings -
    Streaming audio is not supported.
    The only solution I've found is to copy and paste the (event) sound keyframe as many times as needed along the timeline, and set repeat/loop to 1. On-the-beat replay not guaranteed.
    The swiffy documentation:
    https://www.google.com/doubleclick/studio/swiffy/gettingstarted.html
    ...says sound is "partially supported", and then only by Chrome,  Safari, IE9 and Opera (no sound at all in FF).
    So far, testing, IE9 doesn't play loops, but maybe Chrome will (later, at home).

  • 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....

  • How can you play multiple playlists sequentially?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm looking for some advice on iTunes. I've looked around the web and the forum but haven't found anything related to this specific question (though I find it hard to believe I'm the first one to ask it).
    I've created various playlists (not smart, just regular) with songs in an order that I like. I would love to find a way to be able to line these playlists up in a queue to have them played sequentially one after the other. Now I know you're thinking "why not just add them all to a new playlist?" That's one solution... but as weird as this sounds I was wondering if there's a way to set something up so iTunes will randomly select one of these selected playlists that I've created, play it through, and then randomly pick another of the selected playlists and play it through. This is different than a regular shuffle situation because I'd like the playlists themselves to be the shuffled items (not the songs - i.e the contents of the playlists retain their order). Why am I looking for this option? It allows me to create playlists in an order I desire and have iTunes select to play these lists (almost as if they were CD albums and iTunes was a 200 disc changer) at random, and would continuously play/loop.
    To try and put it another way if playlist A has songs 1-5, and playlist B has songs 6-10, and playlist C has songs 11-15, I want iTunes to randomly select A, B or C, and play them in their entirety leaving the 5 songs within A, B or C in their specified order in the playlist (so it won't simply grab song 12 from C, then song 2 from A, then song 15 from C).
    Does anybody know if this is possible? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Give every track in a playlist the same Grouping tag, then set your shuffle options to shuffle by Groupings.

  • Won't play in edit mode

    In Audition 1.5 multitrack view plays fine and all functions are usable, however when I try to edit a waveform, the stop, play, pause, play from cursor, and play looped are all greyed out and unusable. I've tried pressing the spacebar as well, but nothing happens. Also, nothing will preview in the organizer.
    Nothing like this has happened to me before, and the program was working well for hours today and suddenly did this.

    Check that the right Audio Driver and default output paths are selected under Edit/Audio Hardware Setup.  I believe I've seen the transport controls greyed out when Audition can't find a valid path/driver for the audio--and you have to select separately in Multirack and Edit view.
    Even if you haven't knowingly changed these settings, Vista and Win7 seem to be able to do some weird things.

  • What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?

    What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?
    Thanks
    Mark

    Here are a couple of ways, one using the Netstream class and the other using the FLVPlayback component.
    For the NetStream approach, the following in the timeline code will play/loop the intended mp4 file...
         var video:Video;
         var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
         connect_nc.connect(null);
         var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
         stream_ns.client = this;
         function netStatusHandler(p_evt:NetStatusEvent):void {  
             if (p_evt.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
                 stream_ns.seek(0); // to loop the video
         stream_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
         video = new Video();
         addChild(video);
         video.attachNetStream(stream_ns);
         stream_ns.play("path_to/your.mp4");
    For the FLVPlayback component, add it to the stage, give it an instance name ("fp" used below), assign your mp4 file ("path_to/your.mp4") as the source property in the Properties panel, and select the option to autoplay as well.  Place the following code in the timeline...
         fp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playAgain);
         function playAgain(evt:Event):void {
             fp.play();
    To put the Flash swf file in an html page, in the Publish Settings set it to publish an swf and an html page.  Publish the file an the html page will be created for you.

  • Is it possible to loop a Keynote presentation on an external display while working in another program (say numbers) on my laptop screen?
