apple loop not in tempo

hello people, long time no see, this could be a bit stupid, but i need to ask, i have this apple loops from mutekki, and when i drag them to the arrange , it does not get into the project tempo, any ideas?????

 

Logic 9.1.1 on imac

 

thanx a lot guys

 

cheers from mexico

Does it have the Apple Loop icon at the top left of the region? Or a plain old regular audio file icon?

it has the good old audio file little icon, but i did drag them to the apple loop browser, like i have done several times before, whats goin on???

When dragging them to the Apple Loops browser, it will create a tempo-matching Apple Loop only if you have a file that has an integer number of bars/beats at the current tempo. Otherwise the "Loop" option will be grayed out and all you get is a "one-shot" sample, that doesn't follow the tempo.

ok, so for example i have to set tempo to 127, like this loops are set, then drag them? right? i will try tomorrow bro

 

 

thanx a lot fot ur time david

 

cheers mate

i have this apple loops from mutekki … it has the good old audio file little icon

 

I think many of the mutekki loop packages include a folder where the material is already provided in Apple Loop format. If possible, that's the material you should be using, and then you shouldn't have the problem you described.

hello 45rpm, i did drag the apple loop folder to my apple loop browser, and the loops wont behave as apple loops, but as normal audio files, hmmmmm dont know what to do

What does the package say? Apple Loops? Or Wav, or AIFF or what?

ok, its the Mutekki.Media.SOR.FX.Revolution.Vol.1. its a multiformat package, it comes in wav, apple loops, rex files etc, i open up the package, i can see several folders: wav, apple loops, rex files, bonus content, etc etc, i go drag the apple loops folder into my loop browser in Logic 9.1.1, then it saves the files in my hard drive, until here everything normal, i have done this with about 20 apple loops packages before, but when i go and select an apple loop from this new package, i does not get into the tempo project

What are they? Single hits or looping grooves, or what?

looping grooves all of them

 

 

thanx

If you drag one to an Arrange area audio track, what symbol do you see next to the region name (top left): two interleaved circles, or two little loops, or something else?

theres two interleaved circles

Then they're not Apple Loops, at least not the type that follows the tempo of the project.

hmmmm, i guess then, this case is closed, im kinda dissapointed, since i get all of my sample libraries with apple loops version for their versatility, anyway, im really thankful for your time and patience mr david, thanx a lot my friend, and also rpm45

 

thanx guys, see u soon

It's a little more convenient when the loops are provided to you in Apple Loop format, and that's why I suggested you look for that format, if possible. However, with just a moderate amount of effort you should be able to use one of their other formats, by converting it to Apple Loops yourself. Here are instructions for converting your Mutekki wavs into Apple Loops. You should try this first with a folder of just a few Mutekki wavs, to make sure this procedure works for you.

 

Open the Apple Loops Utility. Open the Assets Drawer. Drag in a folder of Mutekki wavs. Select them all. Check "Number of Beats." (Edit: Oops, sorry, that's a mistake. Leave "Number of Beats" unchecked.) Select "Looping." Press "Save All." Check "Apply to all." Press "Edit AIFF."

 

Make sure "Number of Beats" is still checked. (Edit: Oops, sorry, that's a mistake. Leave "Number of Beats" unchecked.) Pick a Genre from the Genre menu (don't skip this step). Press "Save All" again.

 

Look in your Mutecki folder. You'll see a new folder called "Converted to AIFF." Your new Apple Loops are in here. Drag them into your Arrange window and see if they behave like Apple Loops.

 

This is a shorter version of a procedure I explained in more detail here.

One more thing. If you follow the procedure I described, you'll find that some loops play at the wrong tempo (e.g., some will be half time or double time). That's easily fixed. If you want me to explain how, just ask.

 

(Edit: Oops, sorry. Yes, this problem is easily fixed, but it probably won't happen in the first place if you leave "Number of Beats" unchecked.)

Hi, i'm having this problem as well.

Any resolution?
