Automatic Sample Rate Conversion of Apple Loops
This feature may not be as “sexy” as some of the other new features I dis-
cuss in this addendum, but it’s one of the most useful. Almost all commercial
Apple Loops have a sampling rate of 44.1kHz. If all your Logic projects hap-
pen to be at 44.1kHz, this isn’t a problem. But if you do music for video,
you’ll almost always be working at 48kHz. DVD-Audio producers often pre-
fer to work at 96kHz. And with computer power increasing all the time,
many users are choosing to explore the highest sampling rates, up to
192kHz. If you tried to drag an Audio Apple Loop into your project (or a
MIDI Apple Loop into an Audio track) its sample rate would be incorrect,
and it would not play correctly. The converse is also true—if you made your
own Audio Apple Loops at another sample rate, and tried to play them in a
44.1kHz song, they would not play correctly.
Now, Logic will automatically convert your Apple Loops to the sampling rate
of your Logic project! This works for Apple Loops already in your project if
you change the sampling rate of your song, for Apple Loops you add from
the Add File dialog, or for Apple Loops you drag into your song from the
Finder or the Loop Browser. You don’t have to do anything—it just works.
And it works for both Audio Apple Loops and MIDI Apple Loops you drag
to Audio Tracks.
Importing ReCycle Files as Apple Loops
You now have the option of importing ReCycle Files (known as REX or REX2
files) into Logic Pro 7.1 as Apple Loops, instead of importing them only as
audio or REX files. There are two ways to do this:
If you are dragging single REX files into the Arrange window from the
Finder, or if you are pasting a REX file from the clipboard, you will be pre-
sented with the ReCycle File Import dialog, shown in Figure 7.
