Pro Tools can use the automatic time-stretching capabilities of Acid WAV, Apple Loops and REX2 files, but NOT if you bring the loops into your project via the 'Import Audio' dialog. Using the 'Import Audio' dialog will convert the files to regular .wav or .aiff files in your session, losing the TCE (time compression-expansion) data. To use Acid WAV, Apple Loops or REX2 loops in Pro Tools, you must either use Pro Tools' Workspace window, or drag files into stereo tracks from your Desktop (or any other folder).

If you use the Workspace window, first click on the metronome button at the top of the Workspace window (to the right of the level meters). This makes audio files with TCE data conform to session tempo when you drag them into the session (you can also right-click/ CTRL-click anywhere in the Workspace window and choose 'Audio Files Conform To Session Tempo' to set this).

Alternatively, you can drag files in from the Desktop, etc., and have them conform to session tempo if you first change some of Pro Tools' Preferences (Mac) or Options (Windows). To do this, open to the Preferences/ Options menu, and select the 'Processing' tab. In the 'Import' box, tick the 'Import REX Files as Clip Groups' and 'Automatically Create Fades' checkboxes, and under 'Drag and Drop from Desktop Conforms to Session Tempo:' choose either 'REX and Acid Files Only' or 'All Files'. The files will now synchronise with your session's grid when you drag them into your tracks.

Once you have added the loops to your session, the loops will not automatically change duration if you change the session tempo again. To make the clips adjust duration properly, either drag them in again from the Clip List; or right-click/ CTRL-click on the clip, go to 'Matching Alternatives' and select the original clip, which will conform to your new tempo (and start at the same point on the timeline).

Cubase uses the TCE (time compression-expansion) data in Acid WAV loops, and has excellent support for REX2 loops. When importing loops into your project, the tracks containing Acid WAV files should automatically switch to 'Musical Mode' (instead of 'Time Based Mode'). The loops should also stay synchronised with the grid if you change the project tempo.

Reaper uses the TCE (time compression-expansion) data in Acid WAV loops, and also supports REX2 loops. When importing loops or dragging them into Reaper from the Desktop (or any other folder), you will by default be prompted whether to synchronise the loop or not. Choose 'Adjust media to project tempo' and click 'OK'. If you do not get prompted with the option to synchronise audio, check Preferences (Mac) or Options (Windows) > Media > Video/ REX/ Misc. and make sure that either 'Adjust media to project tempo' or 'Always prompt…' is selected.

1. Open Garageband.
2. Make sure the loop browser is visible (either click on the 'eye' icon at the bottom of the screen or select 'Show Loop Browser' from the 'Control' menu).
3. Select the entire loops folder from within your downloaded pack and drag it directly on top of the loop library browser. A green '+' symbol will appear - drop the folder here.
4. You will be asked if you want to import the loops from the current location, or make copies into the Apple Loops library itself. Choose the first option if you want to save disc space or the second if you want to keep all of the Apple Loops on your computer in the same place. The second option will also make the loops accessible within Logic.

Done! You can now search our loops using the available tags, instruments, genres and moods.

If you don't have any of the software listed above, then we recommend you download the WAV format for maximum compatibility. As stated above, the WAV format is the most widely supported audio format in the world and WAV loops and samples can typically be used in a piece if audio software either by clicking any available 'Import' options, or simply by dragging from the download folder and dropping in the software.

Please consult the documentation of your specific software for further installation assistance.

Wave (.wav) files can be used in any audio software. A wave file is a high quality, uncompressed, linear-PCM audio file with a fixed bit depth and sample rate. If you are unsure as to which format to purchase, we recommend WAV.

The Acid WAV format is the original automatic TCE (time compression/ expansion) loop file format. It can be used for effortless time and pitch manipulation in most DAWs. An Acid WAV file is actually just a regular wave (.wav) file with extra information in the file header about the loop's original key, length in bars/ beats, and the positions of note onsets within the loop. This information is used to make sure that the loop synchronises perfectly to the grid no matter what your project's tempo, and to be able to pitch shift the loop without changing its duration.

If your DAW does not support Acid WAV files, the extra information will be ignored and you will still be able to work with them just as you would regular wave files.

Acid WAV loops can be read directly in Reason, Logic, Garageband, FL Studio, Cubase, Sonar, Reaper, Digital Performer, Sound Forge, Samplitude, Audition and, of course, Acid Pro/ Studio (amongst many others). They can also be easily read in Pro Tools if you have the right settings enabled (see our Pro Tools installation guide).

Ableton Live cannot read the TCE information in Acid WAVs, and so treats the files as regular wave (.wav) files. Live does however perform its own high quality note onset analysis when you import. Maschine also treats Acid WAVs the same as regular wave files.

Like Acid WAV files, Apple Loops are an extension to a standard, linear-PCM format (in this case, AIFF), with some extra information contained in the file header. They too can be used 'out of the box' for easy time and pitch manipulation in the vast majority of DAWs. An Apple Loop contains extra information about the loop's original key, length in bars/ beats, positions of note onsets within the loop, and also some descriptive information to help you sort through your loops in Logic, Garageband, Soundtrack Pro and MainStage. Apple Loops synchronise to grid perfectly whatever your project's tempo, and allow you to change the loop's pitch without affecting its duration.

If your DAW does not support Apple Loops, the extra information will be ignored and you will still be able to work with them just as you would regular AIFF files.

In addition to Apple's own audio software, Apple Loops can be read directly in FL Studio and Digital Performer. They can also be easily read in Pro Tools if you have the right settings enabled (see our Pro Tools installation guide).

The extra information in Apple Loops cannot be read by Cubase, Sonar, Sound Forge, Acid Pro, Samplitude, Audition, Reaper, Reason or Maschine. These DAWs will treat Apple Loops as regular AIFF files, often performing their own automatic note onset analysis (the success of which varies according to the material). If you use one of these DAWs we recommend choosing the Acid WAV format instead, except for Reason or Maschine, where REX2 is ideal.

Ableton Live cannot read the TCE (time compression/ expansion) information in Apple Loops, and so treats them as regular AIFF files, performing its own high quality note onset analysis when you import.

REX2 files are Propellerhead's native TCE (time compression/ expansion) loop format. Unlike Apple Loops and Acid WAV files, they do not contain any information about the original key of a loop. REX2 files separate the different notes in a loop into slices, which are then played back at their original pitch with the slices' start times altered to match your project's tempo - no stretching of the audio itself takes place. This means that you may find them more useful for drums, but less useful for pitched material. Another useful aspect of REX2 files is that DAWs often allow access to the individual slices within a loop, so that you can play new rhythms with the same sounds.

REX2 is the most comprehensively integrated loop format in Reason, so you should choose REX2 files if you use this DAW. REX2 files can also be used in Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic, Pro Tools, Cubase, Sonar, Digital Performer and Maschine.

REX2 files cannot be read at all in Acid Pro, Sound Forge, Samplitude or Audition. Choose the Acid WAV format if you use any of these DAWs.
