Tip - Using REX loops in Pro Tools

Share this post Twitter Facebook Tumblr Email Posted January 12, 2012 in Avid, Pro Tools, REX2

Lately, I've been receiving a lot of questions about importing REX files into Pro Tools.  Rather than creating a tutorial video from scratch on this subject, the good people over at macProVideo have already put together this rather in-depth look into working with .rex and .rex2 files inside of Pro Tools.  Once you have the preferences configured properly, it's a total snap (super lame pun intended...).

Check it out and comment below if you have any questions or suggestions!

Share this post Twitter Facebook Tumblr Email Posted January 03, 2012 in AIFF, Apple Loops, Download, Free, REX2, WAV

I wanted to kick off the new year by doing two things: 
  1. Say thanks to everyone who helped make 2011 the best year in Loop Loft history (well, it was actually only our first full year in existence... but it was still pretty awesome)!

  2. As a token of my appreciation, give away this very cool collection of loops, "Unreleased Rarities - Loops From The Vault". 


Consisting of four complete sessions in all formats (WAV, AIFF & REX2), Unreleased Rarities covers a diverse set of styles & sounds including dirty funk, gated 80's Power Station snares, twisted odd meters, and head nodding 135bpm dance grooves that until now, have never been available to the public.  All recorded live and all free!

To download, just enter your email below and you'll automatically receive a download link to the files.


Thanks again for making The Loop Loft one of the leading loop companies in the world.  We're looking forward to an exciting 2012 and have plenty of amazing releases in the pipeline that we can't wait to share with you!

All the best,
Ryan Gruss

Tip - Loading REX2 Into Stylus RMX

Share this post Twitter Facebook Tumblr Email Posted November 29, 2011 in REX2, Stylus RMX

I've been receiving a lot of emails from users asking how to load their Loop Loft REX2 files into Stylus RMX.  Here's a step by step guide for loading the files into RMX:

• Quit all applications

• Open Sage Converter. It should be located on the Applications folder.

• Click on Import REX Files

•  A navigation screen should pop up. Navigate to the folder where the REX files that you want to import are located.

• DO NOT select the folder itself!! Select the REX files that are inside of that folder instead. You should select all the files inside of the particular folder.

• Hit "Choose" or "OK" and a small dialog box will appear on the SAGE Converter application asking for a name for the new Suite for the REX files.

• Here you label the Suite with the same name of the folder that you are importing the REX files from. For example: If you are importing the REX files
inside the folder "Marcha 130 bpm" just name the new Suite on the SAGE Converter "Marcha 130 bpm"

• You'll have to do this for every single REX folder of the Brazilian Collection if you want the loops to appear organized by the same folder and names in Stylus RMX.

• For organizational purposes there are a few files on the Brazilian Collection that have more characters on their names than the SAGE allows. So when you get to those files just rename them before importing. The maximum characters allowed is 31.

• Once you open Stylus RMX you should find the new imported files folders organized by name with the respective REX files inside of them.
