Chapter 1 Using Logic 79
As a result, Logic will create a folder containing one audio track (using the same Audio
Mixer Object as the track it is created on) which in turn contains the slices of the
ReCycle file at the appropriate positions. Each of these slices will reference the same
audio file, which can be found in the Audio Window, as usual.
Important: If you move the created folder to another audio track, the Audio Mixer
Object references will not change accordingly! You will need to open the folder and
change it manually if that is what you want to do.
Copying Audio Data into the Clipboard
You can copy audio data into the Clipboard for further use in ReCycle by selecting local
window Audio > Copy ReCycle Loop. This option will only be active if you have selected
one audio part in the Arrange window, and will copy the selected region of the
referenced audio file into the Clipboard. You can then use the Paste as new document
function in ReCycle to create a new ReCycle document using this audio data. In
conjunction with the Paste ReCycle Loop function (see below), you can perform a
complete data transfer from Logic to ReCycle, and back, without using any file selector
dialogs!
The size of the transferred audio region is limited to 10 MB, due to the fact that the
Clipboard resides in the computer’s RAM. 10 MB, however, should be sufficient for most
ReCycle loops (an eight bar stereo loop in 4/4 at 70 bpm uses approximately 5 MB, for
example).
Pasting ReCycle loops into the Arrange Window
If you use the “Copy Loop” option in ReCycle to copy the loop currently being edited
into your computers Clipboard, you can paste this loop into the Arrange window by
selecting Audio > Paste ReCycle Loop. The result will be the same as if a ReCycle file had
been imported.
Recycle File Import Overlap Function
On occasion, you may encounter a dialog regarding overlaps, when importing Recycle
files.
The launching of this window results from:
• The tempo used in Logic being higher than that of the imported Recycle file.
• Use of the Stretch function in ReCycle.
You may handle the imported file in the following ways:
• Don’t Fix—imports the file as is. All “slices” of the file will overlap, to match Logic’s
tempo.
