Why won't my audio loops and MIDI loops sync together in a project?

I have a number of guitar riffs in a project that I've been making into loops, as I wish to use these as ideas which I arrange in a new project. I've been saving the edited regions of the riffs by going to Region>Add To Apple Loops Library> and saving it as a loop, which is supposed to conform to tempo as stated. These are a blue icon with a little soundwave icon in it.
I have been doing the same with drum loops that I have created using the piano roll. These have a green icon with a note inside it.
I want to use these to create arrangements in a new file. Obviously I need them both to conform to various tempos together.
Why are my guitar riff loops comforming to my global tempo track, but as soon as I add a drum loop and change the tempo, the drum loop will conform but not the guitar.
I've also tried exporting each of the guitar riff (regions) as audio files because I read something in the manual about the audio files needing to be saved in as SDII to conform to tempo, but that doesn't work either.
What's the deal?

I'm no guru, I'm a neophyte, but I'm interested in the problem anyway.
"I have a number of guitar riffs in a project that I've been making into loops... I've been saving the edited regions of the riffs by going to Region>Add..."
I assume all of these regions are audio regions. Do they all have an anchor assigned to whatever you consider the downbeat?
"I've also tried exporting each of the guitar riff (regions) as audio files..."
Once imported anew, again, is there an anchor indicated. I think that may be key.
You say that sometimes they work? What have you changed when they do? The tempo?

  • My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon.  Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files.  WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

    My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon.  Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files.  WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

    What exactly is your problem? Is it, (a) your Mac doesn't read your external disk, or, (b) you can't retrieve your videos, or, (c) you can't play them, or, (d) you were able to play them at one point, but not any more.
    What version of Mac OS X are you using, what app are you trying to play your videos with, what happens when you do, and what error messages, if any, do you get?

  • I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

    I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

    Wel your "answer" provides not only a bad comparison, but is disingenuous at its heart!
    Apple sold a product (8GB iPod Touch) that one could have assumed to be 3rd generation at the time of purchase (because that was what all the other models of iPod Touch were at the time). Then when ios 4.3 came out, we who purchased one of these units found out that the 8GB Touch was really a 2nd generation model, and it would not ever be updated beyond ios 4.2.1 (8C148). Since the version (4.2.1) is BUGGY, it would be in the best interest of Apple to at least provide a bug-fix update release for these units. It is not like we are asking for all the new features of ios 4.3, just fix the BUGS, please, Apple!

  • How do you make the iphone, ipad and macbook calendars sync together?

    I thought I had everything set up to sync in icloud but just my iphone and ipad are syncing together and not my macbook. When I put a new event in the mac it shows up on my iphone and ipad but when I put a new event in my iphone or ipad they sync together but it does not go to my mac. Is there a setting I need to change?

  • Audio cut out and midi miss sync

    Lately I have been getting audio cut out, and the missing, 'error while trying to sync audio and midi'.
    I thought it was that I had too many instances of virtual instruments. So I mixed the song down. Imported that into a NEW song, with only one audio track, and then proceeded to try to do an organ overdub...Well Logic still drops out and gives me the message, even though there is NO midi information in this file...
    Then I noticed that even AIF or mp3 files, didn't play properly from the desktop preview mode. They stop too. Activity monitor doesn't seem to be showing anything overworking..
    Disk Warrior fixed some volume errors,
    Anyone have any ideas to try?

    I'm using a motu828. I disconnected the firewire connection, and ran audio from the headphone jack to the motu, and VOILA, no problems... Last year, I went thru two motu units, not really sure if they are the issue.
    I think it might be LOGIC's firewire circuitry. Apple techs couldn't find the issue, I had the G5 motherboard replaced. Another factor was I had 3 Lacie firewire drives (2 firewire 800, 1 400) I have had 4 Lacie drives die on me in the last 3 years. They are the only firewire drives I have, so I don't know if the fault lies with them, or the again Apples firewire circuitry, stressing the drives out???
    I also put a firewire 800 card in my system.
    I have now switched to an external ESATA raid setup. No more firewire drives. So far so good. Since I had the whole motherboard replaced, I don't know what that means in terms of MOTU connected via firewire..
    For now, I'm running audio out of headphone jack, using all virtual instruments, so I know it will sound better when I get firewire audio up and running, but I got tired of it cutting out every 3 - 30 minutes. I'm thinking about the apogee duet unit. But again if it's connected via firewire, I don't know where that leaves me..
    My G5 is three and half years old, perhaps it's tired and wants to be retired....
    The dark part of me wonders, if Apple computers don't start crapping out after three years of heavy use, or is it that technology, software, updates, push the hardware beyond it's capacity after a few years.

  • Apple Loops and the Loop Browser

    maybe I'm missing something here, but whenever I save an edited audio file (or loop) with Apple Loops I can never seem to find the same file in the Loop Browser.
    (unless that is how the app is suppose to behave ...)
    I assumed the Loop Browser behaves somewhat like Logic's Project Manager, referencing and finding files that are associated with Logic Sessions.
    Long story shot, how can i save my edited Apple Loop files and still find them using the Loop Browser
    Thanks.

    The additional content is not just the loops. It is also all the samples for the instruments etc.
    You are correct, however, in the method of moving the loops.

  • 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.

  • How to code a parallel 'for loop' and 'while loop' where the while loop cannot terminate until the for loop has finished?? (queues also present)

    I've attached a sample VI that I just cannot figure out how to get working the way that I want.  I've labeled the some sections with black-on-yellow text boxes for clarity during the description that follows in the next few sentences.  Here's what I want:
    1) overall -- i'm intend for this to be a subVI that will do data acquisition and write the data to a file.  I want it to use a producer/consumer approach.  The producer construct is the 'parallel for loop' that runs an exact number of times depending on user input (which will come from the mainVI that is not included).  For now I've wired a 1-D array w/ 2 elements as a test case.  During the producer loop, the data is acquired and put into a queue to be delt with in the consumer loop (for now, i just add a random number to the queue).
    2) the consumer construct is the 'parallel while loop'.  It will dequeue elements and write them to a file.  I want this to keep running continuously and parallel until two conditions are met.
          i. the for loop has finished execution
          ii. the queue is empty.
       when the conditions are met, the while loop will exit, close the queue, and the subVI will finish. (and return stuff to mainVI that i can deal with on my own)
    Here's the problems.
    1)  in the "parallel for loop" I have a flat sequence structure.. I haven't had time to incorporate some data dependency into these two sequential sections, but basically, I just care that the "inner while loop" condition is met before the data is collected and queued.  I think I can do this on my own, but if you have suggestions, I'm interested.
    2)  I can easily get the outer for and while loops to run sequentially, but I want them to run in parallel.  My reasoning for this is that that I anticipate the two tasks taking very different amounts of time. .. basically, I want the while loop to just keep polling the queue to get everything out of it (or I suppose I could somehow use notifiers - suggestions welcome)...  the thing is, this loop will probably run faster than the for loop, so just checking to see that the queue is empty will not work... I need to meet the additional condition that nothing else will be placed in the queue - and this condition is met when the for loop is complete. basically, I just can't figure out how to do this.
    3) for now, I've placed a simple stop button in the 'parallel while loop', but I must be missing something fundamental here, because the stop button is totally unresponsive.  i.e. - when I press it, it stays depressed, and nothing happens.
    suggestions are totally welcome!
    thanks,

    I'd actually like to add a little more, since I thought about it a bit and I'm still not quite certain I understand the sequence of events...

    So i read a bit more about the 'dequeue element' function, and as I understand it, since there is no timeout wired to the dequeue element function, it will wait forever, thus the race condition I suggested above can never happen!
    Yes, you got it!
    As I've thought about it a bit more, there's a few things that surprise me... first, the reason the 'dequeue element while loop' errors is not because there's nothing in the queue, it's becaues the queue has been released and it's trying to access that released queue...   However the problem I have is this --- Even though there's no timeout wired to the dequeue element, I still would think that the while loop that contains it would continue to run at whatever pace it wanted -- and as i said before.. most of the time, it would find that there is nothing to dequeue, but once in a while, something is there.  however, it seems that this loop only runs when something has been enqueued.  the reason I say this is illustrated in the next code sample MODv2 that's attached below.  I've added a stop button to the "queue size while loop" so the program runs until that is pressed.  I've also added a simple conditional in the "dequeue while loop"  that generates a random number if it a button is pressed... but this button is totally non-responsive... which means to me that the "dequeue while loop" isn't actually continuously running, but only when an element is added to the queue.  this still seems almost like the 'dequeue while loop" waits for a notifier from the queue telling it to run.  can you explain this to me? because it is different from what I expect to be happening.

  • While loop and for loop condition terminal

    Hello friends,
    I am using labview 8.6. The condition terminal of the while loop and conditional for loop is behaving in just the opposite way.
    When i wire a true to the condition terminal of my loop, the while loop continues to run when I click on run. when I wire a FALSE, it stops.
    Is there any setting change that I have to make it to get it work properly.
    Please suggest on this.
    Thanks and regards,
    Herok

    I am sending you the VI. I am not sure if this would help you because only in 2 computers this behaviour is seen. In others, it works as it is supposed to work.
    Whatever you are seeing must be due to some corruption or folding error. It all works fine here.
    To make sure there are no hidden objects, simply press the cleanup button which would reveal any extra stuff (which is obviously not there). Does it fix itself if you click the termination terminal an even number of times? What if you remove the bad loop and create a new one?
    Could it be you have some problems with the graphics card and the icon of the conditional terminal does not update correctly?
    Whay happens if you connect a control instead of a diagram constant?
    What is different on the computers where it acts incorrectly (different CPU (brand, model), #of cores, etc.)

  • Producer consummer loop and timing loop

    Hi,
    I have to acquire 32 signals and record each signals. I would like to acquire my signals at a sample rate of 100kHz. But I tried with a different sample read and I have always an error of overwritten.
    In my producer loop I read and display all signals and in my consumer loop I record and resample my signal.
    But I thought It was maybe I haven t a timing loop in my producer and consumer loop and it slow my read in the buffer.
    So do you think my error due to I haven t timing loop? And if it s yes, where do I put my timing ? in the consumer or in the producer loop.
    Thank you very much for your response

  • Why did i lose my apps and data after syncing to another new computer? i clicked transfer but only transfered part of the apps?

    Okay basically i had 166 apps in my ipod...
    After i bought new laptop and wanted to sync into it, it said to transfer apps from ipod touch to laptop, i did, but it only transferred part of it and said the remaining was not able to be transfered...
    i had encountered this problem when i transfered the apps in my old pc to my old laptop, now that i wan to transfer apps from my old laptop to my new one, i thought i knew what to do..
    i knew the problem was with the fact that the other apps was bought with another apple id thus not able to transfer as it is not yet authorised... while it was syncing, i authorised the older apple id that the apps was not synced yet... after i did, i realised i was left with the apps bought with my new apple id only...
    then i realised i lost all my data on my older apps, like the privacy photo app which had memories of my photos stored in it.. tap tap 4 all my songs in it... and 70 other apps..
    What happened? this did not happen in my previous attempt during my transfer of apps from old pc to old laptop... so why?
    its really really sad... all my data was lost, i got back the apps though.. but data in it all LOST...
    what to do? can i still retrieve it back?

    - Try redownling the apps by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    The computer has to be authorized and signed into the account that originaly purchased them.
    - When all the apps are ih the iTunes library, try restoring from backup if you have the backup that would contain all the app date. I would turn off autosyncing (go to iTunes>Prefernces>Device and check the box titled Prevent iPods...automatically" to prevent overwritting the previous backup.

  • Does Logic support Audio Interface and MIDI simultaneously over USB?

    Hi -
    I'm new to this so please bear with me :-). I have a MacBook running Logic. Also have a MIDI controller hooked up via USB.
    I also have a USB Mixer that I'd like to hookup to the Mac's audio output. Currently, I have the MacBook's headphone output going into the mixer. I'd love to get the cleaner sound afforded by the USB connection. Is this possible while keeping the MIDI connection over USB?

    Thanks, Fox. You're right - I just tried it out and it worked out very well (although I'm getting I high-pitched noise through my monitor speakers only when Logic is running. The noise stops when I exit out of Logic.)
    I couldn't get myself to believe that the Mac/Logic could keep the USB data straight - MIDI on one, and audio on the other, but sure enough, it works just fine. :-)
    Thanks!
