REGIONS MUST BE EXACT BEAT LENGTHS TO LOOP
If you select a region that is not an exact bar or beat length and select the “Add to Apple Loops
Library” command, you will find that the Loop radio button is grayed out. This is because Logic
will only allow you to loop a region that is an exact number of bars or beats long. If you want to
make a region into a looping type of Apple Loop but the option is unavailable due to the length
of the region, you have two options.
First, you can trim the region to an exact bar or beat length. Then you will be able to select Loop
as the
TTyyppee
of Apple Loop. This is the simplest method for making a region “loopable.” Depend-
ing on the material in the region, however, this may result in desired data inside the original
region being trimmed away.
If you want to maintain the current length of the region and still have it fall on an exact bar or
beat, you will need to select the region and choose the “Adjust Tempo Using Region Length and
Locators” command in the global
OOppttiioonnss >> TTeemmppoo
menu. This command will change the tempo
of your song to match the length of the selected region. Once you do that, the length of each bar
and beat will change to fit your region, so your region will have an exact bar and/or beat
length. Now you can select the “Add to Apple Loops Library” command and choose Loop as the
TTyyppee
of Apple Loop. Keep in mind that this option changes the timing of your entire Logic song,
so after saving the loop, you will most likely need to Undo the “Adjust Tempo Using Region
Length and Locators” command, or otherwise return the song tempo to its previous state.
