Apple Logic Express 9 - Manual (Page 837)

• Set the file type, which can be One-shot or Looped. If the length of the audio file is not
precisely trimmed to contain a number of whole bars, One-shot is selected automatically,
and the file type buttons are dimmed (and inaccessible).
Note: One-shots do not follow the project tempo and key. This is useful if you want to
add discrete, nonmusical sounds (such as sound effects) to the loop library. It would
generally not be desirable to have such sounds affected by the tempo and key properties
of the project. These types of loops still contain metadata tags, allowing easy searching
and categorization in the Loop Browser.
3 Click Create.
The loop is added to the Loop Browser. It will be stored in
~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/SingleFiles. You can find it by using the category
buttons, menus, or by typing the (whole or partial) name in the search field. If you drag
the loop into the Arrange area, the Apple Loops symbol is shown beside the filename.
