If you don’t import the ReCycle file as an Apple Loops or audio file, Logic Pro creates a ReCycle
file folder on a folder track. This folder contains slices (you can view them as miniature regions in
the folder) of the ReCycle file at appropriate positions.
ReCycle folder
ReCycle slices
Each of these slices references the same audio file, which can be found in the Project
Audio Browser.
Note: If you move the ReCycle file folder to another audio track, the audio channel strip
destination (of the track inside the folder) does not change accordingly. You need to open the
folder and change the audio channel strip destination manually, to hear the ReCycle audio data.
Convert a ReCycle file to an Apple Loop
Do one of the following:
m In the ReCycle File Import dialog, choose Render to Apple Loop from the Fix Method
pop-up menu.
m In the All Files Browser, choose Convert ReCycle Files to Apple Loops from the Action
pop-up menu.
Copy audio regions into the Clipboard for use in ReCycle
1 Select an audio region in the Tracks area.
2 Choose Functions > Copy as ReCycle Loop from the Tracks area menu bar.
The data of the selected audio region is copied into the Clipboard.
3 Use the “Paste as new Document” command in ReCycle to create a new ReCycle document
(containing the audio data selected in the Tracks area).
Note: The size of the transferred audio region is limited to 10 MB, which should be sufficient
for most ReCycle loops (an eight-bar stereo loop in 4/4 at 70 bpm uses approximately 5 MB, for
example).
Paste ReCycle loops from ReCycle into the Tracks area
1 Use the Copy Loop command in ReCycle.
The loop currently being edited in ReCycle is copied into the Clipboard.
2 Choose Functions > Paste ReCycle Loop in the Tracks area menu bar to paste this loop into the
Tracks area.
The result is the same as the ReCycle file import options.
