Importing and Removing Loops

You can import up to eight audio loops onto the eight tracks in the track display.

Procedure

  1. Locate the audio loop that you want to import in one of the following locations: MediaBay and the MediaBay related browsers (for example, the Loop Browser), Project window, Pool, Sample Editor (regions), Audio Part Editor, or the File Explorer/macOS Finder.

    The quickest way to find the LoopMash content is to use the MediaBay: Navigate to the LoopMash content via the VST Sound node.

  2. Drag the loop file onto a track in LoopMash.

    Dragging a loop to a track already occupied replaces the original loop.

Result

LoopMash separates the loop into slices, analyzes them, and displays them as a waveform on the track. One track can hold up to 32 slices. If a long loop contains more than 32 slices, LoopMash imports only the first 32. Ideally, you would use a loop file cut at bar boundaries. If you import your file from the MediaBay, LoopMash uses the tempo information supplied by the MediaBay for the slicing of the loop.

Note

To remove a loop from a LoopMash track, right-click the track and select Clear track.
