Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 854)

As an alternative, you can use the Batch Convert function found in the Browser to
simultaneously convert multiple ReCycle files into Apple Loops.
To convert multiple ReCycle files into Apple Loops
1 Select the ReCycle files in the Browser.
2 Open the action menu, and choose Convert ReCycle Files to Apple Loops.
3 In the dialog that appears, select a location for the converted files.
The ReCycle files are converted to Apple Loops (the slice points are converted to transient
positions) and copied to the chosen location.
Adding Apple Loops to the Loop Browser
Logic Pro must index Apple Loops before they are shown in the Loop Browser. Loops can
reside in any directory, but you need to tell Logic Pro where to find them.
To add Apple Loops to the Loop Browser
1 Open a Finder window alongside Logic Pro.
2 Navigate to the folder that contains the Apple Loops.
3 Select the Apple Loops in the folder and drag them into the Loop Browser.
The loops are added to the Apple Loops library and indexed. When this process is finished,
the loops are directly available in the Loop Browser.
If you drag a single loop to the Loop Browser, the loop will be copied to
~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/SingleFiles.
If you drag a folder of loops that are located on the same drive and partition as the Loop
Browser, the loops will be left at their current location, and an alias of the folder will be
created in ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops.
If the loops are located on a different drive or partition, you are asked whether you want
to copy them to the loop library, or index them at their current location (loops added
from optical media are always copied).
• If you choose to copy them, the folder containing the loops are copied to
~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/.
• If you choose to index them at their current location, an alias to the folder is created
in ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/.
