I am a ProSongwriter with a High End Pro Recording studio and use Logic Pro 9 as my DAW. I dont want to switch to Logic X, as I have some EXCELLENT 3rd Party Plug-ins that are 32 bit, which I use frequently, and Logic X, unfortunately DOES NOT have a 32 bit BRIDGE capability. There are some new Plug ins in Logic X that I would like to install on my Logic 9 set up. Therefore, my questions are: - Will Logic X Plug-ins work with Logic Pro 9? - If Logic X plug ins will install and run properly on my system running Logic Pro 9, and I purchase and download Logic X, can I ONLY install the Logic X plug ins on my system, and not the entire program? - If the answer is YES, what is the procedure for actually ONLY installing the Plug-ins and not the entire program? Any help would be very much appreciated.

I was going to intall/convert my AKAI library to EXS24mkII and when I went to the OPTIONS Window on the EXS24 Sampler and opened/depressed the Options Button, there was NO AKAI CONVERT tab listed in the Options window. There was a giga convert but NO AKAI. All my video tutorials, etc., said it should be there but it is not. Can anyone give me some hep on resolving this issue??

How did you create the vertical markers as points creating various measures of the loops so that you could change the chord progressions (key signature of various parts of a loop) in the Global Tracks? all I have been able to do is change key signature for the entire project in the global track setting, I have not been able to create the sections/regions as you have (which are displayed in your previous post) i.e. area 1 to 3 is in the key of C, 3 to 4 is F, 4 to 5 is G, then from 5 on is back in C. How did you create these regions, i.e. 1 to 3, 3 to 4, etc.? I honestly cant figure it out??

David, I believe I understand your response, but let me clarify. What if I like the sound of a loop say acoustic guitar for the purposes of this question, and I want to use it to construct a song using a standard 1-4-5 progression, according to your reply I CAN NOT change the key of the loop in the media viewer window and drag it to the arrange window and expect it to stay in the key it was changed to? It will just stay in the key the song is set for, correct? EG: Loop originally in "C", so I drag it to the arrange window and if the song is set to the key of "C" it will play in that key, over and over again if I stretch it? But, if the song is set in antother key, say the key of "A", the loop will change to the key the song is set for, "A" correct? So if I drag and drop the "C" loop into the arrange window (audio file) of a song that is in the key of "C", I am OK, but if I want to change that same loop to "F" in the preview window and drag it to the arrange window for the 3rd measure and lets say change it to "G" in the preview window and drag it to the arrange window for the 4th measure, (to get a 1-4-5 song pattern) Apple loops WONT work as all of the loops will just play in the key the song is set for, correct? Thats a bummer, but I understand. OK, is there a looping program that is compatible with Logic 9.1.7, i.e: (that will let me drag the OTHER programs loops into logic, you know, a program that offers the same loops in all the keys so I can construct a decent track, like a 1-4-5, and not get just the same old loop in the same key over and over again). Cant really construct different varities of songs that way, unless you are just writing say an electronic dance tune? Any advice, as I was really psyched about using Apple loops to construct songs, but this lack of flexability really bums me out. Thanks for your help and support.

When I audition Apple Loops in the Media Viewer by highlighting the loop and clicking non it with the mouse pointer, the loop will play in what ever key is shown to the right of the loop (I assume the original key the loop was recorded in, or play (audition) in the key you select from the key window in the lower right corner of the Loops Window in Media Viewer. However, when I drag and drop the loop into an audio track (or instrument track if it is a MIDI loop), in the arrange window and play the track, for some reason the loop will be changed to another key, and not the original key or the one selected in the viewer window. Why wont the loop stay in the key selected before dragging to the arrange window? Is the project (song) assigned a key signature or something even though it is a new project and no tracks are recorded? If so, is there a way to change the key of the song/project? Also, once the loop is placed in a track in the arrange window, is there a way to change the key of the loop in the arrange window, or another way to phrase this question is, how do I change the key of the loop once it is seated in a track in the arrange window? Appreciate all help I can get. Thanks!!!
