If you want the loop you are creating to be part of an existing loop family, give your loop
the same name as the rest of the loop family and append the next consecutive number
to the end of the name. For example, if you have a loop family consisting of two Apple
Loops, Mod Beat 01 and Mod Beat 02, and you want to create your loop as part of that
loop family, name the new loop Mod Beat 03.
4. Select the Type of Apple Loops to create by clicking one of the two radio buttons:
Loop: These Apple Loops conform to project tempo, scale, and key. In order to ensure
that the loops conform properly, the region lengths must match a whole number of
beats. Choose Loop for loops of musical material.
One-shot: These Apple Loops ignore tempo, scale, and key information, and have a
fixed duration. Choose One-shot when creating Apple Loops of sound effects, dialog,
and other sounds that are not necessarily musical in nature.
Note: If your region lengths do not fall exactly on a beat, One-shot is the only option
available. If you want to create Apple Loops but the option isn’t available, check to make
sure your regions begin and end exactly on a beat, and if they don’t, adjust the length
of your regions accordingly.
5. Choose the scale type for the loops from the Scale pop-up menu. If you do not choose a
scale type, the scale type of the project is used.
6. Choose the musical genre for the loops from the Genre pop-up menu.
7. Choose the key for the loops from the Key pop-up menu. If the project has key changes
that affect the regions being exported, those key changes will be written into the Apple
Loops. If you do not choose a key, the project key is used.
