Yeah, someone already mentioned that, but thanks. I just turned them into Apple Loops. Problem solved.

How do you do that? I've been trying to figure that shit out forever. What I've been doing in the meantime is using Logic's timestretch and it's awful

You have to use the Apply Loops Utility, located in Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities. Add it to your Dock so you can access it quickly next time.

Just launch it and its pretty self explanatory from there. Really easy, and then you have everything as loops, fully chopped and sliced. Brilliant.

the only problem with apple loops: you can't merge several regions. It's really annoying.

I don't know if you noticed this, eric, but each time you "loop" a region, chance is big that the region's end is not exactly on time (it ends with a dotted value, or even worse, a few ticks too early or too late). You cannot do anything with apple loops in aiff format, the workaround should be bounce in place of your region without fx, then cut at the right position, then repeat region and merge.

I haven't used apple loops that much anymore because of that. I hate it when regions are not exactly spot on.

I don't know any vsti that timestretches on the fly. RMV or bpm maybe? you should check out uvi workstation too! It's free by the way.

Unless they've made major improvements in the last two versions, I seem to recall FL's time stretching sounding pretty awful. But even if it's improved, this isn't an answer, he was looking for a plugin, not a sequencer. No trolling please.

Hmm, that's something I'll have to keep an eye out for. I haven't used any of the new Apple Loops just yet in a production, but I'm fixing to start on a new track tonight, so I'll check it out then. In any case, another forum member is going to get me sorted with Guru, and that just might solve them problem among providing other benefits.

I checked out Fruity a few years ago before I switched to the Apple platform, and, yeah, it's just not for me.

Precisely, I mean why would I switch platforms, and give up all the benefits of Logic just for that? It'd be insanity. I'd rather just rewire into Ableton before I'd ever consider doing that.

I think they use the same algorithm as ableton, cubase logic etc now.

Its the izotope one I think...

Suck my nuts digi.

Wasn't a troll.

If he had fruity he wouldn't need a plugin.

And incidentally fruity's is pretty much spot on.

I really should crack open that user manual eh? Thanks

Lolo, are you talking about merging several pre-existing Apple Loops or merging ones you've created with yourself?
