i just UG from ST 1.2 to STP..
in Soundtrack 1.2 when i use the browser to browse my collections of aiff/wav loops and files, (non-apple loops) the browser automatically converts or reads and plays all these files as loops. it would play them in the browser adjusted to the tempo etc. of the project. this allowed me to audition all my files to see which would fit in real time with the music.

I no longer seem to be able to do that with STP. it seems to recognize just a very few files as loops (apple loops and a few acidized loops) but the vast mass of my files are treated and played as one-shots. i realize that's probably because the non-looped files have no metadata attached. however, they did play as loops in ST 1.2 and i could drag them into the timeline and they would adjust to the timing. i can't seem to do that in STP.

short of me taking thousands of files and batch converting them in ST Utility to loops with all the requisite issues, i can't work the way i’ve done in ST 1.2

if this is a feature of STP and not idiocy on my part (which it may well be), it is a huge oversight or downgrade.

franly i’m surprised no one else has commented on this. it’s not a problem if you use only non-loop audio files, but if you work with your files as loops, it is a problem. could it be a feature of my installation (a FC Studio upgrade) or something i neglected to install?

any ideas?

I doubt that apple would lose functionality in an upgrade - check their support docs. Have you tried playing with Ableton Live? Perfect for the loop stuff.
