And that's how to make a break beat by packing beats into a take folder, and using Logic's quick swipe comping technique. And you notice that a pop-up menu with the various takes was visible where you can highlight a take to select it. When the take folder is closed, you can still select between various takes by Ctrl+Clicking on a take region. Beat Creation Logic Pro X 10. ![]() In the Sound Library Manager, select the checkbox for each content package you want to download, and then click Install. In Logic Pro or MainStage, choose Logic Pro (or MainStage) > Sound Library > Open Sound Library Manager. Same with the other side of the take, just drag the start point to the left. To check how much free storage space is available on your Mac, c hoose Apple menu > About This Mac, then click Storage. Extend a take region section by dragging the start point or the end point, just like this. You can click into the take above or below to replace that section in time. They will update as I swipe over an area of a take. Again, the track on top is our comp track. And now, I'll start swiping between them. I'll click right on the Region header to select that region and make my color change. Before I do that, let's color a few of these so it will be easier to follow along and see which portions are coming from which take. So now we can start swiping between sections of the different takes. As I select a different track, you see the waveform on top, the composite updates, and matches. You can see that its waveform matches, the comp, the track on top. The first take on top, this one right here, is automatically highlighted, indicated in blue. When I reveal the contents of the take folder, the display almost looks like a track stack, with the shaded area in the track list, but the takes are not individual audio tracks anymore. I'll just highlight them all, go to that Functions menu >Folder >Pack >Take Folder. So let's pack them up and swipe between them. They're a little busy playing back all at the same time. When this gets creative, is that you can pack drum loops into a take folder and cut between them for a cool break beat effect like I was just doing. Or you can Ctrl+Click on a region to get to that same menu. That's the conventional use of the Pack Take Folder feature, in the Functions menu, right here. If multiple performances are recorded, but not into a take folder, maybe not even into Logic, you can pack them after the fact, into a Logic take folder. Then multiple takes are combined into the composite track, this one on top, allowing you to easily select the best parts from all the takes. A take folder is automatically created when you record over an existing audio track. All I was just doing was just swiping and selecting between different takes in a take folder, that's filled with beats. ![]() ![]() What may not be so familiar, is applying this technique to making beats. The idea of comping, compiling a master track from the best parts of different live performances, is familiar to any professional engineer.
