Audio Ethics Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Always wondered how to get around that strict feature and edit the loop. Hooray for more creativity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayelel Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 An easier way in Logic 8 is to select the wanted Apple Loop region/regions and press "ctrl+L". It converts the Apple Loop into an audio file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayelel Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 My way with the ctrl+L was wrong. It just makes every "looped" (greyed out) region into a real region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 Huh? i'm confused...doesn't your method convert it to an audio file first and then back to an apple loop? No. There's no conversion going on at any time. You just change a single tag in the original AIFF file (the File Type tag, as instructed in the original post).

imonium Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Huh? i'm confused...doesn't your method convert it to an audio file first and then back to an apple loop? No. There's no conversion going on at any time. You just change a single tag in the original AIFF file (the File Type tag, as instructed in the original post). Ok, but isn't what's happening here though that you're making it into a new file (that's what i meant by conversion)? ... Anyway, i found that when i follow your method that after 'step 1' the region then goes 'out of time' in the arrange (in that it jumps back to its original tempo). Which is kinda annoying 'cause you can't quite follow how what you've done will sound like with everything else in the track until you resave it as 'looping'...(unless i'm doing sthg wrong here?) So, my suggestion is, rather than 'Audio > Convert Regions to new Audio Files' instead go Region > Add to apple loops library first. Then, drag that new one out of your apple loops library into where you want it in the arrange and then do the 'non-looping' etc. thing...This way you can edit it in with the original song tempo etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgkeys Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Dear David, Does this thread apply to Logic Pro 8 also? When saving the file as a new file, what filetype should it be? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgkeys Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 When I get to the Apple Loops utility neither the save button or save key command will work. I saved the new file as an AIFF. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldoctg Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Sorry to reopen this thread, but I can't figure this out on Logic Pro X. However, I wanted your opinion on this. I can't find Audio > Convert Regions to new Audio Files in Logic Pro X. However, I found Edit > Convert > Convert To New Audio File(s). By using this function I changed the .CAF to .AIFF. Before I did this, I was unable to edit it or open the loop in the Apple Loops Utility. After I did this, I was able to edit it and open it in Apple Loops Utility. When I did, I found it was already set to non-looping. After, I was done editing, I converted it back to .CAF, but I was still able to edit it. I'm fine with this, but I want to make sure I'm doing this correctly and not messing up the quality or functionality of the Apple Loop. Especially since I'm converting to an audio file and a few years back you said this isn't what we were trying to achieve: An easier way in Logic 8 is to select the wanted Apple Loop region/regions and press "ctrl+L". It converts the Apple Loop into an audio file. The idea here is to edit your Apple Loops, not to convert it to an audio file. I'm always wanting to do this the "right way" which is why I'm asking. If you could give the proper way to do this in Logic Pro X I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought this program and cant do something as simple as reversing the audio file. Can you please tell me what you did? This thread needs to be updated and and the admin didnt respond. I would imagine that Logic pro x is much different. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Here you go! You can now reverse audio non-destructively in Logic Pro X: Select the desired audio region and click "Reverse" in the Region Inspector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
