Loop browser on Logic 8 pro

Jun 10th, 2010, 10:52

Where is the loop browser on Logic 8 pro. I have a mac. (just starting..) Also, is it possible to bring the loops from logic pro 8 to logic express 7? I understand this can be done. How? Let me know. Thanks Roz

Hi Roz, The Loop Browser is the Media area. Click on the Media button in the top right (in the Toolbar) and from the media area click on the 'Loops' Tab to view the Loop Browser. [img]http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/7484/screenshot20100610at185.png[/img] You could use the loops from Logic 8 in Logic 7 by importing them into Logic 7. The factory loops are located here: HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/ It's easier to use them in L8 of course. I'd really recommend checking out the Logic 101: Core Logic 8 tutorial as a lot changed from ver. 7 to 8: [url]http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/Logic8101[/url] Hope that helps Rounik

Hi Roz open a Finder window and navigate to that location and you'll find the loops (audio files) there. Let me know if you need any further help. :) Rounik

Hi Rounik, I am assuming then that I open Logic Express 7 and will find the logic pro 8 files in the loop browser. Is this correct? Basically both programs files will be available to me in Logic Express 7. Thanks Please confirm. Roz

Hi Roz, I'm not sure if that is possible. Unfortunately I can't test this out as I don't have Logic 7 installed on any of my systems anymore. However, you could try re-indexing the Logic 7 Loop Library... but I'd exercise caution doing this as it might interefere with Logic 8's Loop Browser... Here's how you can try it out: 1. Clone your system drive! Backing up is always a good idea. You might like to try using Time Machine of the free Carbon Copy Cloner. 2. Open Logic 7 and drag the Apple Loops folder (as mentioned above) onto the Loop Browser. This should start the re-indexing... Personally, I'd recommend using Logic 8. After you get used to the new interface you should find it much more intuitive to use. Also, you can load Logic 7 projects in Logic 8... but remember if you make any changes to save them as separate proejcts (save as...) - basically this will keep the original project in Logic 7 format and enable you to open it in L7. Sorry I can't be of more help. Rounik
