Get Up to Speed with Apple Loops

A video lesson on using Apple Loops in Logic Pro X and GarageBand

Whether you're a Logic or GarageBand user, you can spice up your recordings with a huge range of instrument loops and sound effects via the Apple Loops that were included with your DAW. Here's a video tutorial to get you going right away.

One of the great features of Logic and GarageBand is the Apple Loops collection. Flexible in terms of tempo and key, these loops, both MIDI and audio, allow you to add instrument, vocal, and EFX sounds into your productions via drag and drop. Watch this video tutorial to learn how to get the most from your Apple Loops.

    What mic are you using for your voiceovers on these videos if you don't mind me asking?

    Also, interesting coincidence, that 80s pop beat 10 is the EXACT same loop I used on a song I made 5 or 6 years ago back in my garageband days. Nice to see it's still alive and kicking!

    For that particular video I used a Blue Microphones Spark, which is a relatively low cost condenser. I also processed the voiceover track in iZotope Nectar 2, which has some pretty cool presets for spoken word recordings.

    That is a coinicidence! I actually picked that loop almost at random. I was just looking for a relatively simple, MIDI-based drum loop to use for the video.
