Hi all, again I have a really stupid newbie question. How do you get loops to sync up right. I made a drum beat using the sampler, and then I looped it. However I can't get it to sound right when it loops the beat back. I can get it to either hit to soon or hit to late. Is this just a problem with the orignal loop or can I do something to fix this.

Hi KG-
Hope you're getting a clearer understanding. The short answer is that looping is so important that there are a bunch of vst instruments designed to give you more flexibility. Programs like Reason, Phatmatic Pro, Stylus, Recycle, and even Cubase are all taking the approach dixiechicken describes: a loop is analyzed and but up into 'slices' so that it can be played back at a different tempo than it was originally recorded if necessary. The slicing process tends to become less accurate with samples that don't include drum hits, but it's still a really useful idea. Honestly, I think it's lame that a program as robust as Logic doesn't handle this by itself in some way. Can Logic make use of .rx2 files yet, dixie? I can't remember. Can DP4? -------------------- Kit: Dual Ghz G4, Vaio 2.6ghz GRV670 notebook. Software: Reaktor, Reason, Ableton Live. Leanings: Laptop performance, jazz guitar, singing.
