WAV/AIFF to Apple Loops iOS Converter?

Hello everybody,

on iOS I created many wav/aiff loops with several apps. Now I want them to play in Garage Band as "Apple Loop", so that I can timestretch and pitchshift. Is there any app which allows me to convert them directly on iOS into "Apple Loops"-format?

Best regards,
Peter

  • AFAIK The Apple Loops Utility for OSX was the way to create Apple Loops. Used to be bundled with Logic and sometimes was present in the OSX Applications/Utilities folder.

    Otherwise its available as a download for registered Apple developers at the developers download site. You have to be a registered developer though.

  • Well 2023.. and Logic is here.. would be nice..

  • Auditor and BeatMaker 3 can do it.

  • Is apple loops some kind of esoteric format? Aren’t they just wav files with markers? Last time I played with apple loops goes back to when acid was a thing

    There is metadata that identifies the tempo and key...and there can also be embedded slice and transient markers.

    Auditor is good for this. Unfortunately its powerful batch processing mode can't be used to convert several files at once. Other formats are available but not Apple Loops. It requires the editor to establish tempo, and optionally add slice markers. Still, it works well one file at a time.

  • Seems the best option (so far) is Logic's own Quick Sampler... Pitching and Tempo..

    Thanks..

  • I think the beast way is to just do a tempo-analyze after import as it will add the required transient markers to the file and enable flex-time.

    Seems tempo is not a problem, FlexTime works fine.. . Pitching is the issue (Follow Project Key/Scale). Seems there is FlexPitch in Logic Desktop..

    Yea, FlexPitch is still missing but at least we can transpose the clip without major issues :sunglasses:

    There's a glitch in Logic Pro for iPad in that that the key-change is only applied to new audio & midi-events dragged to the time-line, so a key-change won't affect clips that already exist on the time-line, I consider this to be a 'bug'.

    Yeah but that’s like any wave file. What makes it “apple”?

  • Honestly questioning, I really don’t know

    The file adjust to the tempo and key ‘automatically’ when added to the project.. It’s very powerful…
