if you listen and look closely at apple loops for soundtrack pro with fixed tempo dragged in the arrange area you will notice that the waveform doesnot correspond to what is sounding at real time, and the sound shiftes depending from where you start listening (from where you put your playhead and press play), this makes it imposible to edit or automate.
can somebody please explain if this is just me?
I explain in detail what is the exact problem just below.
I noticed that Apple Loop for Soundtrack Pro in logic, most of them (basically the ones with fixed tempo) come in surround sound... good (do not know if this is what is causing the issue), Now the issue... First I drag it to the arrange area, when I put the playhead in bar 15, to listen what is just after that in bar 17(lets say a crash cymbal) it sounds ok, but when I put my playhead from bar 4 and listen all the way to bar 17 the crash cymbal is not there but much sooner!!! which makes it almost impossible to automate.
I dont know if I explained my issue correctly but I will try again. I had a proyect at 120 bpm. I liked a loop that had NO tempo information (I understand it is tempo fixed). I dragged it the media box, apple loops for soundtrack pro, to the arrange area, but I needed it to end sooner so I zoomed in, put the playhead a little to the left of where I wanted it to end and located the exact point necessary to start the slope down in the automation. I listened to the automation zoomed in and putting the playhead just a little before the automation started and things sounded fine... when I played the proyect from the beggining thus putting the playhead far from the automation I just made... when it got to the automation it was far off!!! the point I heard where I wanted the automation to start came in sooner but the automation stayed right in place. What is going on?
thanx for your time
