Loop Explorer files.

Hi
 
Is there a full list anywhere of the file types Loop Explorer can audition at project tempo? (Sonar 8.5/X1)
 
Thanks.

    Thanks.

    Other than one-shot samples (which are not in any tempo usually), just hold the ALT key for other wav/rex loop files that are not in the project tempo and they will play in the project tempo.
     
    If you bring that type into an audio track, you'll probably have to groove-clip it there.

    Generally, yes.  MIDI is usually always in the tempo of the project.  There are exceptions though.
     
    But at the end of the day, I always say:  experiment ;)

    Is it possible to hit a key or some way to make the auditioned loop not play back at project temp?

    Hmm, I don't think so.

    It would be nice to be able to use Loop Explorer to quickly audition acidized/groove clipped loops in their native tempo without the formant distortion that occurs in Loop Explorer. I'm going to try to find a to find a small program on the net that can auditon loops quickly. I will post back if I find anything. Thanks for any help.

    LoopyFruit,

    Here is a quote from page 977 of the Sonar 8.5 Reference Guide:

    Media Browser enhancements
    The Media Browser view has the following new enhancements:
    • You can preview Project5 patterns (.ptn), step sequencer patterns (.ssp) and REX loops (.rex).
    • You can preview MIDI and audio files simultaneously.
    • You can simultaneously preview multiple files in different folders.
    • You can save and recall Content Location presets to quickly access you favorite folders.
    • You can drag video files to the Video Thumbnail pane.

    Note: The Loop Explorer view is now called the Media Browser view.


    Regards,
    bbent

    For anyone who is interested, VLC Media Player will play loop files (16 and 24 bit) rapid fire quick in their native tempo.
