Untagged Loops - Your Key to Loop Library Bliss in Logic

[@samb781]

Thank you so much, this has saved me so much time when using 3rd party loops, i cannot believe this has not been shared more, again thanks:)

[@jakeah1175]

What a helpful video - nice work!

[@nicholast315]

Love your videos! Concise, but thorough and exact explanations of how to get the most out of Logic Pro. THANK YOU !

[@kelvynification]

Brilliant:)

[@seanrichards9569]

Thanks, well explained!

[@bonjuvi05]

Thank you, what a great tip and perfect timing!

[@HaHaDK]

This is awesome.. been waiting for this! Is it also possible to categorize them in genre/key/tempo etc. when the f older has been dragged to Logic?

[@kenneth-roberts]

Always excellent content and tutorials. Thank you!

[@lvymusic]

Omg man thanks! I find it more one year💥🙏

[@Yoshipiano145]

what's annoying about using aliases in Apple loops is that you can't use the Arrow keys go back to the user loops folder, cuz you don't go back to the folder with the alias folder, instead you go back to were the real file is stored. It'll work with onscreen back and forward buttons, but extremely unintuitive and confusing. Unfortunately It works the same in the logic Pro file browser.

This was incredibly helpful man. Will this process work for midi files? Keep up the great work! 😎

[@magnerart]

maaaaan, thanks!! extremely helpful!

[@Kirk-Monteux-Production]

Thanks for showing this useful function I completely over looked for decades. However I can't force logic to show this little wave form overview down the loop list on any of my untagged sources. Any idea??

[@BillyMacSongs]

When attemptiong to leave the loops on an external drive and therefore creating an alias in the loop browser, can we create multiole folders? Samples 1, Samples 2, etc. ThaNKS - tremendous content as always.

[@jessefallas7094]

Hey Chris, do you leave external drives mounted and plugged in at all times and what would you recommend? Also, have you ever gotten the "disk not ejected properly'' message when waking your Mac from sleep?

[@jaspermuziek2150]

Hi Chris, thank you. I have my entire soundlibrary on an external drive. When I start Logic it first automatically mounts this volume. Wonderful. Is it possible to have the entire Apple Loops folder reside on an external drive, not just the untagged ones? I tried this a couple of times but ran into various issues. Curious to hear your thoughts.

[@kbryarly]

Loved this video ! Thank you so much Chris!!! This may not be the place to post this question but: I would like to 'slave' Logic to my Maschine+. Can't figure a way to get Logic to 'slave' successfully. Maschine can receive MTC and will follow Logic if Logic is the master. However I would like to do the opposite. Maschine+ (master clock) Logic (receive and slave). Is there any way to do this??? I have tried it several ways with no success.

[@Jsig-la]

If only there were something like this for midi

[@seanrichards9569]

So untagged loops saved this way will change to project tempo, but WON’T change pitch to match project key, correct? Is the only workaround for this to import into Apple Loops and pick them from the My Loops tag? My only issue with this is the time being taken to organize these, plus as far as I know they can’t be arranged into different sub folders. Any thoughts?

[@beatsbylacoka9531]

Thank you sir much apprciated

[@AA_MusicGuy1111]

These have a big problem. When you use samples and loops which are at a different sample rate than your project, in case you don’t want logic to automatically adjust its tempo to the session tempo via flex, it messes up the audio file via warping it and having a sample rate mismatch (faster or slower both time and pitch)

[@AsherBKNY]

Thank you

[@originalvonster]

My untagged loops wont play and Logic wont allow me to add in details like tempo to untagged loops. :(

[@iliravdyli4109]

one think I don't like about the sample browser is you can't preview one shot while the logic is in playback like Ableton. the delay is so a workflow killer...

[@mynk9900]

Super helpful

[@StacyODell]

Is dragging the folder in from finder the _only_ way to do this?

[@tommyapocalypse6096]

What version of Logic does this apply to?

[@N8oRMusic]

It's unfortunate that the audio quality degrades so badly when doing this. Good thing is that it's great for just getting quick ideas.

[@lantrick]

2:18 WOW ! instant Radiohead

[@alro4660]

when i saw alias i liked

[@TheChores]

😙

[@bonafontciel]

Why don't we all go to and submit a feature request to revamp the Browser. Untagged loops must disappear and Apple must come with a different approach for playing third party loops in tempo from the browser. I already submit a feature request long time ago, but more people is needed :S
