Tutorial 4: Working with loops
Loop Browser
The Loop Browser allows you to have a single window
that gives you quick and easy access to all your loops. In
the Loop Browser you can search for audio files, use tags
to categorize, audition the audio in the open project’s
tempo and a whole lot more.
Adding loops
1. Select “Open Loop Browser” from the Media menu.
2. Once the Loop Browser has finished scanning your
hard disk(s) for loop files, they will be displayed in the
Viewer section.
3. Selecting a loop file in the Viewer section will display it
graphically below in the Scope section.
4. Click the Play button to listen to the loop. The “Play in
Project context” option allows you to audition the loop in
the project’s tempo. This is handy if the loop you are audi-
tioning has a tempo that is different from the one you are
using in your project.
5. If you have many loops, you can search for them using
the Filter options at the top of the Viewer section.
6. Once you have found the loop you like, drag and drop it
into your project. If you haven’t created an extra audio track
for the loop, one will be created automatically for you.
7. Rename the new track to “Loop 1”.
