IMPORTING AND EXPORTING AUDIO

Drop to Allihoopa
A special audio export feature is the “Drop to Allihoopa” function. This lets you export a song, or part of a song (loop),
in a proprietary format and automatically upload it to your Allihoopa account at www.allihoopa.com. The dropped (up-
loaded) audio can then be imported into other applications, such as the Take iOS app, and you can also share your
exported files with others if you like.
Proceed as follows to export the mix of all active sequencer tracks of an entire song, or of a loop range of a song, and
upload to Allihoopa:
! The maximum allowed length of songs/loops dropped to Allihoopa is 10.00 minutes!
1. Make sure the End Position Marker is placed where you want the song to end or, if you want to drop a Loop,
make sure the Left and Right Locators are placed around the Loop you want to export.
! Make sure you place the End Marker (when exporting a Song) so that any sustaining sounds are allowed to de-
cay to silence. Otherwise, there will be an abrupt “cut” in the end of the uploaded audio file. This is probably
not what you want.
! If you plan to use your exported file as a Beat in the Take iOS app, there are some important things to keep in
mind:
Any Tempo Automation and Time Signature Automation in the song/loop will be disregarded during import in
Take. The file will open in Take, but without tempo indication (Free Tempo).
2. Click the “Drop to Allihoopa” button to the right of the Audio Out meter on the transport panel (or select “Drop
to Allihoopa” from the File menu):
