Hi everyone,
I am working on a song in Logic Pro X using one of the loops and I just wanted to know how to change the key of the loop to fit in with the key of the song? The key of my song is C Major while the Loop is in G Major.
Any tips would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.

How do you change the key of one specific loop using the Key/Transpose in the Inspector? Step by step instructions would be great.
Many thanks.
Here is the step-by-step instruction:
Step 1: Select the MIDI Region and set the Transpose value in the Region Inspector to the left.
Step 2: There is no Step 2 😉
If you are a newbie, then I would recommend to have a look at my Graphically Enhanced Manual "Logic Pro X - How it Works" where I explain everything in great details with lots of easy to understand diagrams and screenshots, including a separate chapter about Apple Loops.
BTW: If you have a proper Apple Loop, then it should automatically adopt to the key of your Project. A transpose is not necessary, unless you want to overwrite a phrase to a specific key.
Hope that helps

Hi Jan Due1,
Thanks for your response.
I am a newbie with Logic Pro X.
How do you change the key of one specific loop using the Key/Transpose in the Inspector? Step by step instructions would be great.
Many thanks.
Hi Edgar,
Thanks for this step by step instructions. It will help me a great deal. And of course I will check out your manual which I am sure is filled with lots of helpful tips and information for a newbie like myself.
Just one thing. When you said that if I have "a proper Apple Loop" does this mean that loops that have originally come with the Logic Pro X software? If you drag one of these loops into the work area do they automatically adopt the key of the song you are working on? I have noticed that the loops have their own Key Signature when they are listed in the Loops area in Logic Pro X and this has confused me.
In addition when I have tried to add my own riffs over the song it sounds as if the loops are out of key with the scales/notes I am playing on my synthesizer? Why could this be?
Many thanks again.
Could result in some awfulness, but you could just make a track with a C Major pitch correction plugin on 0 retune speed, and then bounce it in place?
You can change the key/ transpose the loop in the Inspector.
