Previewing Loops in Logic 8

I have the core audio box checked and it shows my Digi 002. Dae is not checked. I can click on a loop and they play through the last audio object in my enviornment. BUT... When I play audio in the arrange window and then click on a loop in the media browser, I can't hear them both at the same time. Only the audio in the arrange window. If I hit stop on the transport and then click on a loop in the browser, I can hear it. What am I doing wrong? I would love to be able to audition the loops as the arrange window material is playing. I'm using the digital outputs 17-18 on the Digi 002.

I have found if you wait long enough, you will hear the file begin to play. Sometimes the delay can several seconds. Not acceptable IMO.

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.

Previewing loops

Have had no luck with PCs trying to do music recoding so I swithced over to Mac because I heard it so easy, seamless, and problem free. Now, on opening Garageband for the first time and trying to preview loops I get an error mesage that says: "the software instrument or apple loop selected is currently being installed. You have already initiated the installation of additional content for Garageband via Software update. For additional information please open the software update application." I have opened this application and nothing. I have now spent about two hours trying to fix this problem. Should I "convert back to PC, take this load of crap back to the store or is there something simple I am missing?

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??

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.

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...

If I delete logic pro 9 will I lose all the loops for logic pro X?

I want to make space on my computer and right now I have logic 9 and logic X both installed. I think I heard somewhere that if you delete Logic 9 than you delete all of the loops in Logic X, is this true?

If you mean... delete the Logic Pro 9 app then no you wont lose any loops... However, the LP9 app is small and really won't save you that much space if you delete it..
If you mean uninstall Logic Pro 9 plus all it's content after installing LPX then yes, you could lose some loops/content because the LPX installer takes notice of any LP9 content you have already installed.
In otherwords, don't try and uninstall LP9 and it's content after installing LPX

Problem previewing loops in the loop browser in Logic 8

Loops are only audible when the sequencer is not playing.
When the sequencer is playing, the selected loop shows it's playing in the loop browser window, but I cannot hear it.
ANY ANSWERS?
NOTE:
All my outputs in logic (including the loop browse strip) are routed to SPDIF OUT as I have a DynAudio digital speaker system.
Thanks in advance,
Hennie

Soundtrack Pro preview loops and non-loops are cut-off

I need help with this issue.
When I am going through the loop library/libraries, I click in a loop and it used to preview without an error, I am not sure when this happen, but now if I click in any audio clip from the loops and mixes libraries (about 7500+) clips, .aif and .caf audio files, in the library, all I get is half a second if not any preview.
When I open the clip, and press play, it seems to be choppy as well. it plays through but skips or pauses for a fraction of a second, but enough to know that it is not playing flawlessly.
I am not sure if this happen after installing the last Pro update or the 10.5.4 update.
I also have FCP and Motion, those applications seem to not have any issues.
Is there a way to reset the whole STP?
I am not sure all locations where the preferences are, I tried deleting all the libraries, and adding them later, that didn't work. I deleted the one preferences in my user preference folder, but that didn't do anything either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

You may need to rebuild the loops index.
Open up Logic and display the Loops Browser
Open up FInder and locate the folder containing the loops as you describe
Drag the loops folders onto the Loops Browser
That will rebuild the index and all should be well.

Loops in Logic Express

First of all I best say that I am new to Logic Express and Garageband, in fact the Mac thing so forgive the basic nature of this post. I have had some funny goings on with my mac since a failed software install so I decided to rebuild everything including the OS. Having re-installed Garageband and Logic Express I find most of the loops are missing. Some are there but all drum loops and others have gone. I tried to look up options to see if there is a tick box to install them but nothing. If I look in library, the loop directory is also missing. Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks
Tetleyted

Thanks for the reply. took a look but the directory structure as follows: HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops (Apple doesn't exist. I have a feeling that garageband and Logic Express hasn't completed the install. I have tried to re-run it but the same thing happened - no loops. Any suggestions welcomed.

Loops in Logic?

Hi,
I am a garage band user and I am considering upgrading to Logic 8. I use the loops in garage band a lot, but on the product page for Logic 8 there is no mention of any loops capabilities or any loops being included with the software. Meanwhile I noticed that Logic 8 requires 6GB of space or something, so I can't imagine that loops are not included.
Can any of you owners let me know what is included?
Thanks.

To know what is included you can read it on Logic Express Tech Spec:

About Loops you can read this page

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).

Can't create loops in Logic 8.

What is wrong with apple loops utility. I load an audio file in it and when I press save, it then says that "the file could not be saved. check the destination disk's available space and try again or choose a different location." It however shows where it was trying to save my file in another window, and of course it shows the correct place to be saved. I've tried using the save as function and choosing the destination that way and it doesn't work. I've tried renaming it and it doesn't work. I've tried adding the file to the apple loops utility by pushing the plus button and then going through all those processes and still nothing. i have gotten some work by trying the above processes at least a thousand times. Then when it works, it does not even show up automatically in Bin section like it did in Logic 7. If you click the browser tab to search for it in your projects audio folder, you might miss it because it looks like all the other audio files. The only that I was able to tell was that my audio files are aif and the apple loops are aiff. If I were to go to my desktop and open my audio files
in my project that way, then I can see that apple loop file look like the apple loops logo. Anyway, I can't get this audio file to covert to an aplle loop because i can't save it. please help me.

I am having the same issue now that I have switched over from using a G4 with Logic 7 running Tiger to a G5 with Logic 7 running Leopard. Can it be an issue with Leopard? It was working fine with Tiger...
Anyway, it seems that the only work around (sort of) for this is too save the loop to your loop library and then take it from there and put back into your session. Once back in run the ALU like normal and save. It seems to work but I have noticed that once its changed into an apple loop that the loop will clip on the track!?! So I don't know how good of a solution this really is.
Someone please help us!
Thanks!
