Logic Pro 7.1 – Apple Loops (2005-0905) 5 of 23

You open the Loop Bowser from Logic’s Main Menu: ”

Audio > Loop Browser”

or by Key Command

Although the Loop Browser has not that many graphical elements, it can be confusing sometimes

when you try to figure out the detailed functionality. Different search fields behave differently and

the underlying database and the way the search works needs some fully understanding if you want complete control with your browsing experience:

Search Pane

The first button in the upper left corner of the Loop Browser switches between the two View Modes:

Column View

and

Matrix View

This changes how the Loop Browser displays the three search fields “Genre”, “Instruments”, “Mood Descriptor”

As I mentioned before, the Loop Browser indexes all your Apple Loops and stores the information in the index file(s). You can think of all the index

files together as a big Apple Loops database. The buttons, menus and entry boxes in the Search Pane lets you define your search criteria to search that

database. To better understand the search concept, lets look at various databases:

The Loop Browser works like a database application with 8 search fields:

Five of the search fields are actual Apple Loops tags, stored in the Apple Loops file:

1) Scale

2) Signature

3) Genre

4) Instrument

5) Mood Description

There are three additional search fields not part of the tags

6) Name of the Apple Loop

7) Folder location of the Apple Loop (“Jam Pack Management”)

8) Favorite Flag

Here are the rules regarding the search:

• The search fields are combined with AND. i.e. selecting “Minor”, “4/4”, MyPattern” searches for Apple Loops with the name phrase “MyPattern”

with the Scale tag “Minor” and the Signature tag “4/4”.

• Three search fields are always active: Scale, Signature, Folder location

• At least one search field has to be selected in order get a result. “Genre”, “Instrument”, “Mood”

• All search fields are interactive and online, which means: changing any field (change “Major” to “Minor”) will change the list of found Apple

Loop right away, no need to hit an enter button to start the search. The exception is the Name entry box!

• The Name entry box requires to hit the <Enter> button after entering a name to start the search.

• The Name entry box will be cleared when you change any other search field (maybe bug?)

Background Info

Internet Search

(Goggle, Yahoo), Spotlight Search

You have one search field to enter your “search phrase” and the database looks in all database fields for a match

iTunes, Mail

You also have only one search filed to enter your “search phrase” but you can select a specific field of the database where you

want to look for a match. i.e. you can search for a specific phrase in Mail only in the Subject field or the entire message or in the

Recipient field.

Database applications

(FileMaker)

You can shave multiple search fields and you you can enter the condition how to connect the search fields. i.e.

o You can search for database records which have the word “Smith” in the “Last Name” field AND the word “Florida” in the

“City field. The result would list all person records with the last name “Smith” who live in “Florida”

o You can search for database records which have the word “Smith” in the “Last Name” field AND the word “Florida” in the

“City field OR the word “Seattle” in the “City” filed. The result would list all person records with the last name “Smith”

who live either in “Florida” or “Seattle”

That kind of database can get very complex but they enable you to create precise search criteria.
