Playback and File Management Controls

The bottom of the Apple Loops Utility window contains a set of playback controls so
that you can listen to the file in Apple Loops Utility. The playback controls do not affect
the file’s tags, only the playback of the selected file.

 Go to Beginning button: Starts playback from the beginning of the selected file.
 Play button: Plays back the selected file.
 Stop button: Stops playback of the selected file.
 Key pop-up menu: Transposes the selected file to a new key for playback.
 Tempo slider: Sets the playback tempo of the selected file. You can also enter a value

in the field.

 Volume slider: Sets the playback volume of the selected file. You can also enter a

value in the field.

When multiple files are selected, the playback controls are not available. You cannot
play more than one file at a time.

There are two additional buttons at the bottom of the window, the Assets button and
the Save button.

 Assets button: Shows and hides the Assets drawer.
 Save button: Saves your changes to the currently selected files in the Assets drawer.
