Logic: Creating apple loops

Apple loops are audio files that time compress and expand"on the fly" to conform to the MIDI tempo of a Logic session (or othercompatible audio program).

Using the Apple loops utility (audio regions only)
Select a region in the arrange window and then go to Audio/Open Apple loops utility (image below).



Then in the apple loops utility window make sure looping is set.



Then make all the appropriate customizable settings you feel are necessary. Then click save

Using the library
To create apple loops this way in Logic follow these steps

Creating apple loops from audio regions (Blue apple loops)
Select an audio region ( on an audio track) in the arrange window and go to Region / Add to Apple Loops library



The window that appears is used to categorize the loop according to music style,scale and mood.Set these parameters to reflect the style of the loop and click Create



After the file is done rendering go to Media / Loops and search for your file.



When the file appears in the search drag it to a track. You can tell if the region was converted properly by the apple loop icon in it's upper corner



Creating apple loops from Software instrument MIDI regions (Green apple loops)
To create a green apple loop the process is nearly identical to the blue apple loop process. The only difference is instead of converting an audio region on an audio track, you would select a MIDI region on a software instrument track.

When the conversion process is done you will be able to drag green apple loops to either a MIDI track or an audio track.
