Add Apple Loops to your projects in Logic Pro

After searching for loops in the Loop Browser and finding the ones you want to use, you add them to your project. In the Tracks area, you can move, copy, and make other changes to the loops.

Add a loop to your project

In Logic Pro, do one of the following:

  • Drag a loop to an empty area of the Tracks area, below the existing tracks.

    A new track of the appropriate type (audio or software instrument) is created, and the loop is added to the new track.

  • Drag an audio loop (blue) to an audio track.

  • Drag a software instrument loop (green) to a software instrument track.

  • Drag a software instrument loop (green) to an audio track to convert it to an audio loop.

  • Drag a pattern loop (yellow) to a software instrument track.

  • Drag a pattern loop (yellow) to an audio track to convert it to an audio loop.

  • Drag a drummer loop (yellow) to a Drummer track.

  • Drag a drummer loop (yellow) to a software instrument track to convert it to a software instrument loop.

  • Drag a drummer loop (yellow) to an audio track to convert it to an audio loop.

Choose a different loop in the same family

Many Apple Loops are part of a loop “family.” Loops that are part of a family have the same name, but each has a unique number at the end. For example, Classic Rock Guitar 01 and Classic Rock Guitar 02 belong to the same family. Loops in the same family work well together. You can quickly try out different loops in the same family to see which one you like best.

  1. In Logic Pro, click the up and down arrows in the upper-left corner of the loop.

  2. Choose a new loop from the pop-up menu.

The loop you chose replaces the original loop.

Extend a loop so it repeats

With the loop selected in Logic Pro, do one of the following:

  • Drag the upper-right edge of the region for the desired number of repetitions.

  • Click the Loop button in the Region inspector (or use the Loop Regions key command).

To learn more about looping regions, see Loop regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area.

New projects default to a project tempo of 120 bpm and a key of Cmajor. If the first content added to a project is an Apple Loop (meaning, before any audio or MIDI have been added or recorded to the project), the project tempo and key are adjusted to match the Apple Loop. When a project already contains content (either by recording directly into the project or adding content), Apple Loops automatically match the current project tempo and key. If you subsequently change the project tempo, Apple Loops automatically conform to the new tempo. If you change the project key, the regions created from the loops are transposed to the new key.
