However, from your original post, now I'm thinking you don't really mean simple time stretching, but you mean doing something more like quantizing audio. I know the marquee tool, but I don't see how it can be used to time stretch ? See page 525 *Time Stretching Regions* in the *Logic Pro 8 User Manual*.

Create instrument-specific folders, then narrow it down further by attributes.Logic Pro 8 is also the application to use for time-stretching though! This will further enhance your ability to think creatively, as opposed to stopping and searching for files. Get OrganizedĪfter a batch of inspiring sounds have been collected, make sure to stay organized. The big advantages of creating an Untagged Loops library are having quick access to inspiring sounds and the ability to use any audio file in this fashion (including original recordings). So what are Untagged Loops? These are loops, files and sounds that serve as an additional library, alongside Apple Loops, that can be time and pitch stretched to match the Logic project’s bpm and key (albeit over a smaller distance than encoded Apple Loops). Untagged Loops do not have the tags, and embedded information of Apple Loops, so they do not possess the same functionality, time and pitch stretching capabilities. To be clear, Untagged Loops are not Apple Loops, nor is this process the same as creating Apple Loops.

After a producer has obtained a batch of sounds or loops to incorporate into a production, the first step in putting them to work is to load them into the DAW.įor producers who use Logic Pro X, an option to incorporate these sounds and loops is to use the Untagged Loops feature. Sites like Splice, Zenhiser, Sample Magic, , reFX Vengeance and Big Fish Audio have become sources that aid in a music producer’s craft. This process is the result of a rise in digital, subscription-based or one-time purchase loop and sound services. Modern record producers spend hours, even days, searching for loops and sounds to use that properly convey their emotion to a listener.

The popularity of working with loops and one-shots in a digital audio workstation has never been higher.
