Does anyone really understand how important the role of transients are in apple loops. I spend a lot of time in recycle when making rex files, but is it really worth it in apple loops utility if I'm converting acid files over, or is just leaving it at every 16th fine.
It's not like it's chopping these loops really. Right?
If anyone has any insight, I would appreciate it.

yeah between apple loops and rex files a completely different technology is being used. REX files are using sliced audio while apple loops are using a time stretching algorythm. I've done both quite a lot. It is true that in order for rex files to be good they have to be sliced pretty precisely, and that can be very time consuming. Apple Loops don't need quite the same detail in order for them to work well but they do need some extra attention for them to have maximum flexiblity as a loop. In fact apple loops work much better for certain types of loops than rex files would for the same loop. All really percussive loops are usually more flexible as a rex file well most melodic type loops work better as a time stretching file like an apple loop (in general). And if you do the apple loop markers right you can really tell a huge difference in the integrity of the sound when trying to change the tempo or key. Sometimes when you just leave an apple loop at the default of 16th notes it can be really pretty bad. Depending on the file I will often change the default to 1/8 or 1/4 sometimes and then do some manual adjusting where needed.
Well that's my 2 cents.
