Logic Pro 7.1 – Apple Loops (2005-0905) 15 of 23

Create Apple Loops

Apple provided two tools to create Apple Loops. One is a separate application called “

Apple Loops Utility

” and the second tool is build right into Logic

which is a strip down version of the Apple Loops Utility that you access with the command “

Add to Apple Loops Library”

1) Apple Loops Utility

Apple Loops Utility can only save “

Blue Apple Loops”

that contain only the audio file but no MIDI or Channel Strip settings

Open an audio file (aiff or wav) in Apple Loops Utility (aka Soundtrack Loops Utility) and edit the tags.

There are three ways to get audio files into the Apple Loops Utility

1. Drag file onto Apple Loops Utility’s Asset drawer

2. Open audio file from Apple Loops Utility

3. Select an audio file in Logic’s Arrange Window and it directly in Loop Utility

2) Logic’s “Add to Apple Loops Library” window

Logic has a build-in “limited” Apple Loops Utility that can create blue and green Apple Loops:

• Blue Apple Loop: select region(s) from audio track(s)

• Green Apple Loops: select region(s) from audio instrument track(s)
