sinateta Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I have a project in 4/4 which Kick hits are on each beat, and like to have a 6/8 shaker loop ( 3 heat per beat). but can't find a proper way. All the apple loops will play to 4/4 rhythm and the shakers in drummer also can't understand it. Is there a neat and easy way that to add a compound rhythm shaker loop to a simple rhythm project ?

fisherking Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 this is off the top of my (very small) head, but... you could open the shaker in a new 6/8 project at the right tempo, then bounce it out to an audiofile... & import it into your project. someone else here probably has a simpler solution (but it's what i'd do).

David Nahmani Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Or change the Speed parameter for the 6-8 loop in the Region inspector: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinateta Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Thanks, It seems the speed inspector only double or half and etc, it should have something like 2/3x to convert it to a 4/4 rhythm. The problem I found with creating a new project with 6/8 rhythm is you have to convert the tempo of project to an equivalent 6/8 rhythm and bounce it and even then I found that the feel is not right. was hoping there was some loops designed in 1,2,3. - 4,5,6. rhythm that can be dropped in a 4/4 project. or some alternative solution.

Have you tried 2x? It works with 6-8 Apple Loops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denitronik Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 How about recording a real shaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Or you could have Drummer play your shaker. Drummer is a great resource for when you need to add only a shaker, or a tambourine to your production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
