Using Rex2 Samples in Logic
- Drag each loop straight from its folder in the Finder into the Arrange window, depositing it on the audio track you want it to appear in.
- The Recycle File Import window will then appear, which allows you to specify how the individual loop slices are dealt with. By default, it will create an Arrange window folder object for the loop, in which a single track carries all the slices with 5ms audio crossfades between the slices.
- If you need to considerably speed up the loop, select Add Tracks instead of crossfade in the Recycle Import window, which will alternate the slices over two tracks within the folder object, and assign each of these tracks a different Track instrument. This allows the tail of each slice to overlap the next, eliminating the need for cross fading.
- If you wish to speed up by huge amounts you may need to allow Logic to add extra tracks to the folder object when importing, in order to avoid slices overlapping. You can also do this from the Recycle Import window, by increasing the value in the Number of the Additional Audio Tracks field.
