    Dude.....I've said this before, in your other tutorials, and I'll say it again.........you're a genius!!!!!! Your tutorials are the answer to a lot of composer/producers problems. I have LOTS of samples, and even though the authors say they're completely 100% royalty free blah, blah, blah, there's still that part of me that thinks there's still the possibility of other people using the same samples, and our tracks being very similar. But THIS settles that problem.

    Cool, this is why I support you on Patreon! I had a sample beat the other day that was just a little off for my taste. I did the work of lining up the transients and recreating the beat on another track, ugh. This would have been much easier. Once you break it into sequencer pattern you can then just remove the redundant sounds and condense it to a kit. As long as they maintain their original position. Then move the events to taste!

    I think fastter way to make those loops into pattern regions would be to just drag then into a Q-sampler like with the one shot. but use the optimized and set the slices to what you want inside Q-sampler and just drag miidi out from the bottom part of the wave form in Q-sampler, then convert to pattern region and make beat how you want it.

    • @lawinter1949
      @lawinter1949 2 года назад +1

      @UC21BwBKSKiPFbNvzl3-eh_A yeah that makes sense. I don't usually use loops that are longer than 8 bars so I haven't run into that problem. the Qsampler is faster for chopping up a short loop into 8th notes or 4th notes I've found. Also one thing I like to do is take a polyphonic loop and turn it into a tonal one shot by putting the vocal transformer on it in robotize mode then dragging into Q-sampler. It makes some pretty unique sounds.

    • @MusicTechHelpGuy
      @MusicTechHelpGuy  2 года назад +3

      It depends on if you like editing the transients in Quick Sampler or not. I'm not a huge fan of editing in Slice mode in quick sampler if there are a lot of transients to edit. I find that tweaking the transient markers in the editor is faster for me. But for shorter samples and loops, definitely Quick Sampler is fantastic for those. The MIDI drag feature is really nice! I never knew about that before!

    • @lawinter1949
      @lawinter1949 2 года назад

      @@MusicTechHelpGuy Yeah if you drag a midi or pattern or drummer region into left side it bounces that region with all the fx you have on the track. I like using retune from zplane or little alterboy for this trick too.

      @djelbert23 2 года назад +2

      Works great with the Apple Loops, like the sound, but not the melody? Problem solved. Seperate an entire drum loop and Finger drum your own beat? No Problem. The way to go. Slices, by transients, beats, measure, quite cool.,

    At last !!!! THANKYOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!At the same time for me it would have been much easier to follow if you had dealt with only one loop instead of three, since the main issue is turning an audio file into a midi file!!!

    dear sir
    I have watched this video multiple times and thanks a lot for producing such an amazing educational piece. But I wish to know whether this technique is still the best to deal with third-party loops.
    will it not be quicker to edit the transients in the quick sampler only or what

  • @jeffagoddard
    @jeffagoddard Год назад

    Inspiring! I was thinking, EZ Drummer comes with 2000+ patterns, which they call grooves, but are really just midi. In fact, there are groove packs from famous drummers. I was wondering if there’s a way to convert these to patterns and save them in Logic? Other than drag a midi pattern into a track, convert to pattern region, then save one-at-a-time. Just thinking about a bulk covert process.

    Great video, but I'm trying to find out more about the *.pattern file format. I want to convert a bunch of midi drum grooves to pattern regions in Logic and save those patterns to be re-used. I can do it one-at-a-time but it's very tedious. I hoping to find some kind of utility to managing *.pattern files. Any advice?

      Despite the fact that a LOT of people have complained about issues with Big Sur, I have not had this experience. Big Sur has been out for a year now, and it works great. I didn't lose any of my plugins after updating. The NEWEST one Monterey, I'm not so sure. I know Logic will work with it just fine, but I wouldn't rely on all of your plugins to be compatible with it yet. I would hold off at least a few months before getting Monterey.

      Sounds like you missed the part in the video where I mention that the length of the midi region will affect whether it can be converted to a pattern region. Try splitting the region in half like I do in the video and it should work.
