Apple Loop Browser Folder Structure

Finally on Logic X, i noticed the folder structure is a bit different then in Logic 9.

Opening the loop browser in Logic 9, i used to see all loops or all folder without sub folders.

Now in Logic X i see all loops and sub folders only. To see those sub folders you have to goto "Loop Packs" what kinda sucks.

Is there a way when you open the loop browser, the first thing you see (like in 9) are the folders without going to loop packs?

 

Thanx

Have you tried clicking the "Genre" or "Mood" buttons?

 

 

Note that you can hold Shift to select multiple buttons...

 

Yeah, i've tried all that, but that's not really what i'm looking for. Like in Logic 9 i could see or select the folders that i've actually created myself or put in the Apple loops folder. From many sample cd's i've created apple loops like Vengeance Essential House. That folder showed up in my loop browser in Logic 9. Clicking on it in the loop browser and i see the loops from that selected folder only. That option/structure is gone than i guess?

But with the Command key, you can select individuals and toggle them On/Off.

Toggle what? On/Off the loop browser? Individual folders in the loop browser? Show me. lol

“Have you tried clicking the "Genre" or "Mood" buttons?

“Toggle what?”, ….. Toggle your Selections On/Off.

 

David said, to use the Shift key here, which works, but if you use the Command key you can select like “Instruments” and “Moods” only, where there is no way to do that except with the Command key. A minor option, but just trying to help on that point.

 

Actually, it may be quicker for you to just use the search bar, to narrow down to what you are trying to find. ?

You could see those folders... where exactly? As category buttons? I don't remember that...

In Logic 9 i could see all my apple loop folders in the apple loop browser. That option is gone i see. I never used genres or moods as i created all my apple loops from .wav existing sample packs without genre or mood tags.

Anyway, i'm now viewing the folders from the browsers and select "all files". From there i can goto my apple loop folders.

 

This view i had in the loopbrowser in Logic 9.

 

 

In Logic X you only see subfolders

 

You are looking at two difference browsers....

In #1 you are in the file browser ( you can press F to toggle in and out of it.)

in #2 you are in the loop browser ( you can press o to toggle in and out of it.)

 

Sounds like you want the file browser ( make sure the File Tab is selected once in there).

I believe the OP is aware of that, he wanted to show an example of a list of the top folders he wishes he could see in Logic X the same way he did in Logic 9. It wasn't clear to me right away but I believe I understand now. I don't think that behavior is customizable unfortunately.

That's correct David. The reason was the quick acces to the folders in Logic 9 instead of Loop Packs > Genre and then see subfolders in X. In the file browser you don't see bpm, beats etc,... And the audition (now prelisten) there is slower too

Nice! Thank you for sharing your solution with us!
