Tempo-synced loops in EXS24

Hi,
how can I make an EXS24 instrument with custom loops that sync to the given BPM?
Now, I first play (MIDI) notes/parts, quantize them, convert them to audio files, then create a new sampler instrument from the created regions. This method is almost what I need, but now I want my samples to match the given BPM.
Maybe it's important to say that eventually this sample instrument needs to be beat-synced in MainStage.
Thanks in advance for you help,
Jasper.
PS: I'm running the latest Logic Studio (with Logic Pro 9.1 & MainStage 2.1)

Since I'm a newbie:
- what's the quickest way to do this (I have several - 40 or so - samples on one track in Logic Pro)? Or do I have to load them one by one in Apple's Loop Utility?
- is there a way to use these Apple loops in MainStage (because that's eventually the purpose) and will they still sync to the given tempo?
Thanks again,
Jasper.

  • Audio loops tempo sync

    Hi,
    Is it possible to load a loop in logic 8 which can automatically auto sync to the tempo like in ableton live ?
    I red on the manual that in order to be tempo synced, a loop must be :
    -apple loop format
    -bounce from logic and saved in the audio bin.
    So, If I import an standard audio loop (Wav or AIFF), I must put it first in the arrange page, convert it in an apple loop or bounce the track and import again from the audio bin and erase the first imported loop ?
    What a waste of time !
    Am I correct ?

  • How can I match tempo & sync of old audio files to Garageband?

    HI all,
    Final question and it's a doozy. While I know the "general concepts" for trying to accomplish the following, acutally trying to get it to work is frustrating. At first thought that the new Garageband tempo/playing thing would work but I'm not being successful. Perhaps there are better programs for this. I am moderately aware of the beat/slicing/tempo tap programs -- I just don't have the lets-do-it-detail to make it work.  Here is the goal.
    #0 - New DAW file is created in either Garageband or Logic Pro.
    #1 - I have old stereo MP3 and AIFF files digitally dubbed from old cassettes, some recorded 30 and 20 years ago. Most were recorded to click track or drum machine. Newer tracks are MIDI but my first tracks are purely audio.
    #2 - I drag an audio file (MP3 or AIFF) into either Garageband or Logic Pro. The track becomes an audio track.
    #3 -- I need to edit off the beginnings of these tracks. If Garagebands new tempo sync thing is enabled, you can't seem to do this. Once the track is playing -- the tempo should be moderately consistently (The originals often used a Roland TR 707 ??? drum machine). However, the tempo might not be perfect and I might need flexibility.
    So, how do I ACTUALLY DO THIS?
    #4 - The goal is to get the NEW song template to match it's tempo to the audio track. The song now has the correct tempo that (hopefully) perfectly matches the original track.
    #5 - If this works, the old audio track is like an old temp track that is frozen in place.
    #6 - I record new fresh tracks against this backing tracking. Voila, I have a newly semi-produced or at least recorded song based on the old recording.
    Sounds easy but the devil is in the tricky details. Thanks for any tips, suggestions, references to forums, blogs, YouTube videos or books.
    I am open to other software as well.
    Thanks in advance. I'll stop bothering you after this. :-)

    Attach your welcome audio to an object that is not seen (e.g. a highlight box set to 0%) and use your Advanced Actions and variables to HIDE this object ON SLIDE ENTER if the user returns to the same Menu slide at a later point in the course module.
    This should mean that the first time the user gets to that slide, the audio will play.  But all subsequent times they return to that slide, the object will be immediately hidden on entering the slide, which will mean that the audion does not play and all the user sees are the menu options.
    Your alternate strategy would be to have two slides that look almost the same.  The first one has the audio, and the second one doesn't.  Your TOC item for Menu, and any other links in the project that point to the Menu, would go to the second slide without audio.  The user will be none the wiser as long as you work out the navigation.

  • ITunes/iPod Sync Loop

    Hi,
    Hope someone out there can offer some insight.
    When I hook my 5th generation iPod to my MacBook Pro via the USB cable to sync it with iTunes, iTunes goes into what I can only call a "syncing loop":
    1. The iPod mounts on the desktop
    2. iTunes opens automatically
    3. The iPod and iTunes start to sync
    !!!BUT!!!
    The sync that used to take a few seconds, now is non stop... the little arrows beside the iPod icon on the left side of the iTunes sidebar goes round and round and round and round etc etc. Also in the iTunes message window it says NOT to disconnect while iTunes syncs the device. The only way to stop it is to eject the iPod and disconnect it. This started with the iPod firmware update 1.2.3.
    My Specs:
    MacBook Pro
    OSX 10.5.1
    iTunes 7.5 (19)
    iPod 5th generation 1.2.3
    Any help is greatly appreciated

  • RAX and Logic 8 tempo sync

    I installed RAX (virtual stack)so i can run Atmosphere. Been trying everything to get the tempo to sync between the two but no luck. Anybody done it?? Any help appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks buddy - firstly, i dont think ypu can rewire RAX. Its basically a standalone plug-in host. The omly reason i use it is to run ATmosphere which is not intel mac compatible ( well its supposed to be but its NOT). The way i run it is to create an IAC Bus ( virtual midi connection) between Logic and RAX and i can trigger the RAX from Logic. For some reason i cant get to automate tempo changes thru Logic into RAX even tho i make all the settings in RAX for ext. tempo sync. Since right now i'm using only Atmosphere, tempo changes really dont matter since most of the sounds are "ambient patches". But if i am using arpegiatted sounds and there are tempo changes in the song, i cannot trigger the tempo changes in RAX. Am sure there is something in the LOGIC environment that i'm supposed to do but i cant figure it out.

  • Loops in EXS24 !!!

    Hello folks. Im having a bit of trouble here with the EXS24. So for all u ppl who have loaded loops into the EXS24 notice as the keys go lower it slows but when the keys go higher the sample loop speeds up. This is great and all but does anyone kno how to keep it at the same tempo even when i presss the keys going up or down. I just want the same tempo for all keys. and the pitch is fine since it goes up or down. Any body have a solution? much appreciated.

    Hi,
    that's how samples work. Usually, the pitch is increased by increasing playback speed, which makes the sample sound higher.
    You could, however, treat the individual samples in the sample editor, using the time&pitch machine, and then saving several instances of samples for each pitch. But keep in mind this doesn't do magic. You can't take a sample that sounds in c1 and transpose it's pitch up to c3 and still expect it to sound as good as the original. The bigger the difference between original pitch and target pitch, the more artifacts will be introduced by the time&pitch machine engine.

  • Syncing loops in Audio Window

    Hi all,
    I replaced my old G5 with a new shiny Mac Pro 2.8.
    The problem I have with Logic 7.2.2 and Logic 8.0.2 on my new mac is, that when I preview a loop in the "audio window", the loop stops playing after one go (used to loop continueus on my G5) and the loop would always start at the beginning of the measure, so that when you had the same tempo as the loop, it would fit immediatly if the song was playing.
    Just to be clear, I am talking WAV's here, not apple loops.
    Anyone a solution, would be greatly appreciated.
    Tim.

    Anyone?

  • Tempo in loops

    How to adjust my chosen drum loop to match the track I played on my electric guitar?
    GH

    you really need to do it the other way around, play your guitar to the click (drum) track. you're not going to be able to match the tempo of a freely played guitar because it won't be in perfect time.

  • IPod in syncing loop with iTunes

    Hello,
    since I've downloaded iTunes 10. I tried to connect my iPod 120Gb classic bought in 2008 to iTunes.
    iTunes keeps looping telling me it had to restore the iPod. (indeed I had to re-import all my music, since I also used iTunes 10 new settings to transfert my music on another Hard Drive)
    itunes tells me it had to prepare the ipod for restoration, and not to unplug it.
    i press the continue button.
    it starts to prep the ipod for restoration. waiting for the iPod. and then
    back to it had to prepare the ipod for restoration, and not to unplug it. and so on and so forth until I get bored doing that.
    I have no idea what happend to my ipod or itunes. but it worked fine until i connected it to the new itunes and the library on the different hard drive.
    I really need help.
    I am sorry if the message does not sound too much itunes, I had to translate them as I am French and looking for a solution.
    I hope to read your great solutions soon...

  • Is Space Designer capable of tempo sync?

    There's various presets with specific bpm designations . . . but is that all it can do?
    Thanks for any enlightenment.

    No, it does not sync to the host tempo - those bpms refer to the Impulse Response used in the respective preset, but the tempo can't be synced to the host tempo. So if you want to use those, set the tempo of your project to the bpm announced in the preset.

  • Brand new update of sync loops restart and will not install oct 8 update

    my latest firefox 3.6 auto updated sync and it loops the restart command but will not install the update to sync. no other instructions. i have to cancel update to get sync back. i do have another computer on the home network. all else is standard and simple desktop set up. i have win 7 x64 bit prof.

    I had the same situation, but what I forgot was that my laptop also had Evernote installed.  If I hadn't gone back and updated the laptop, them my system was still vulnerable. My desktop showed the updated version installed, but the store kept saying I needed to update it.  I posted on this forum and it was suggested I check for installion on a different device.  As soon as I updated on the laptop, the message from the store went away.

  • Apple Configurator Sync Loop

    Greetings-
    We are attempting to sync a class set of iPads durring a class perioid.  They go through the sync cycle but then seem to start over.
    Checking activation state -> Checking Pairing -> Installing Apps -> Retriving Documents -> Installing Configuration Profiles -> Idle
    Then right back to the begining of the cycle.  Has anyone else experienced this and or fixed this situation?

    I have this same problem although mine seems to just have happened recently (9/24/2012).  I restore phones through configurator for my job but today when I tried to restore to a 5.1.1 ipsw it would loop the cycle like so and not actually restore the phones.

  • Exchange Calendar sync loops, drains, and fails

    It seems I have got the same problem as described here. The symptom is that the Exchange sync never seems to finish. The phone runs hot and probably uses a lot of network traffic. The problem is that the disable/enable of Calendar sync trick fails on my iPhone. It tries for a long time and then it times out. I can't even remove the accounts completely, that fails in the same way.
    It's an iPhone 5S running iOS 7.0.5. I'm syncing three calendars. Two Exchange accounts from different servers and one Gmail.
    This problem happened to me once before and then I ended up doing a Factory Reset. I'd rather not do that again.

    I would love to find a solution to this! It could be to the root of the problem, how to force calendar sync off, how to force removal of email accounts, or to something that I've missed.
    PS. I've asked the same question here. DS.

    Not sure if this will help, I found it solved a slightly different problem.  the following is a re-post from a different thread.
    I've had similar issues - although my email and contacts were syncing with Exchange without issue, in iOS7 I developed a one-way problem with calendar sync.
    Appointments created on my iPhone were syncing fine to my Exchange server, and were then visible in outlook on my PC.
    However items created in Outlook were not syncing to the iPhone.
    I'm running iOS 7.1 on an iPhone 5; plus Outlook 10 on a Windows 8.1 machine connecting to Exchange on Small Business Server 2003.
    I found a solution here.
    On the PC, go to your calendar and right-click the Calendar folder.  On the Permissions tab, change the default Permissions from "none" to "Reviewer".  Apply changes.
    Then on the iPhone, remove and add back the calendar in Settings.
    I have 3 separate calendars on my exchange server and had to do this for each one.  When I only did it for one calendar at first, this was the only one which appeared on the iPhone.  So, it seems to me that this was definitely the culprit.
    Interesting that this problem only reared it's head since the iOS7 update.  Calendar was working just fine for me in iOS6.
