Might be some odd problem on my end but I've bought several of the recent super sale items at The Loop Loft, almost always getting all file formats as I like using Stylus RMX so much. That said, while I haven't had a single problem with the WAV files, their RMX files have proved very problematic. I've been able to "work around" this by downloading the REX files and converting them to RMX using Spectrasonics SAGE converter. But even this as not yielded totally accurate results. I don't know if anyone else has run into this or has any info or solutions to offer. Just thought I'd pass it along.

Thanks for this heads up! At 90 percent off the Looploft stuff is tempting this BF.

But I'm a Stylus RMX guy myself, so this is a deterrent for my interest now. Moving on.

agree... I was thinking about the RMX as that's the only way I'm looking at using them.  Good to know.

How do I use RMX files in Sonar Plat?

I use a bunch of them in Stylus and haven't had a problem yet.
 
ol' Pal - what is happening when you use them?

I have a handful of LL RMX and converted REX files that just will not playback reliably in RMX.  They are missing beats, stuttering, dragging and will not follow sync.  Others work fine...sometimes even from the same package.  LL has asked me to put together a list of the ones that don't work...something I have not had the time to do as yet...but I'm going to make time in order to help them and, hopefully, solve me problem.  Again, I have many LL files that work fine but, unfortunately, a few do not.

bummer - one of the great things about the RMX loops is how fast you can dink around and get some fun beats going. I imagine that slows you down and is frustrating. I'll keep an eye out too as I'm using them and will report if I run into that.

Oakley doakley...I've done some sleuthing as regards the LL RMX files that were giving me problems.  And the answer is there is really nothing wrong with them as regards their conversion into RMX files.  The problem...if indeed it is a problem...is that some of them...especially jazz loops and New Orleans type loops...sound terrible if they are played at too much of a different tempo than their original tempo.  While this occasionally happens with third party RMX and REX loops it rarely pops up in Spectrasonics own RMX libraries.  I suspect it is down to the way they were sliced and edited.  There is little if any attention paid to the reverb tails and truncations at the end of each individual slice which can cause the loops to sound pretty weird when slowed down dramatically.  They will actually play at any tempo and sync to Stylus...they just will sound bad.  With most Stylus loops you can quite literally play them at any tempo you want and they retain their groove and feel and you sometimes discover brand new avenues and uses with wide variances in tempo.  So...nothing really "wrong" with the Loop Loft files...just don't try and move them too far away from their original tempos.

thanks for the update! :)

Nothing happens, I pull them into Sonar and they don't play. Seems I have to use another program Reaper to convert them into audio tracks. Is that the only way to use these files in Sonar?
