Logic Pro 7.1 – Apple Loops (2005-0905) 20 of 23
2) Logic’s “Add to Apple Loops Library” window (Detail)
Besides using the Apple Loops Utility, there is a second tool to create Apple Loops and it is build right into Logic. It is a “limited” Apple Loops Utility
that has one feature, not available in Apple Loops Utility: create green Apple Loops:
There are basically 4 steps how you create the Apple Loop:
1.
Select a Region in the Arrange Window:
a. If you select a region from an Audio Track, then the Apple Loop will be a regular “Blue Apple Loop”
b. If you select a Region from and Audio Instruments Track, then the Apple Loop will become a “Green
Apple Loop” containing the MIDI data of the region and the channel strip setting of the track (including
the audio instrument and plug-ins)
2.
“
Add to Apple Loops Library
…” from the Arrange windows local Region menu
3.
Set the tags:
The “
Add Regions to Apple Loops Library
” window has most of Apple
Loops Utility’s tag set:
•
enter the name for the Apple Loop you are about to
create
•
This is the “File Type” tag which determines the tempo
matching:
o Loop: activates the tempo matching tag
o One-shot: no tempo matching will occur later
•
the window looks up the setting of your current Logic
song. Whatever you have set in the Key setting of your song will
be used as the default, but you can overwrite it by selecting a
different option from the popup menu
•
popup menu with the same Genre as in the Apple Loops
Utility
•
same two column Instrument
keywords as in the Apple Loops Utility
•
The 9 pairs of mood descriptors are the
same as in the Apple Loops Utility. Instead of three radio
buttons, you have “Linked Buttons”: Click a button to select,
click a selected button to deselect, click the opposite button will
select the clicked one and deselect the linked button.
•
Logic will add two more tags automatically
which it looks up at start of your selected region
o
Click the “
Create”
button to create the Apple Loop based on your settings.
• The Apple Loop will be created in your user directory: “
~/Library/Audio/Apple
Loops/User Loops/Single Files”
which is the same location where the Loop Browser
puts single Apple Loops when you drag them onto the Loop Browser for indexing.
• The index file for the “Single Files” folder will be updated in the
~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index”
• You can open the Loop Browser in Logic and search for your brand new Apple
Loop right away
Note:
• You cannot check or modify the transient markers. For that you have to open the Apple Loop file later in Apple Loops Utility or use the “
Open
in Apple Loops Utility…”
command from the local Audio menu
• If you have an audio file with a difficult to determine beat structure (i,e, atmospheric sound) or a region that doesn’t match a whole bar length,
then Logic will grey out the File Type setting with “One-shot” selected. This means
that Logic can’t figure out any transient marker and therefore sets the File Type to
“One-shot” and also prevents you to overwrite that decision. You still can open
that Apple Loop later in Apple Loops utility and change it.
• You can convert only one Region to an Apple Loop. If you select multiple regions
in the Arrange window before selecting the command, then only the first region will
be treated.
