How to use old "Apple Loops for Soundtrack" with Garageband

Since Soundtrack (was part of FinalCut Express HD) doesn't work anymore (since some ProKit framework update) and was not part of the FinalCut Express 4 upgrade I used Garageband for sound creation and editing. But I missed some good loops from the old Soundtrack.
The Apple Loops for Soundtrack were still sitting on my harddisk but Garageband didn't recognize them in the Loop-Browser. Looking at the structure I found the Search Index files (/Library/Audio/Apple Loop Index/). I have two there, one for Garageband and another for iLife Sound Effects. Both are interpreted by Garageband. But no third for the old Soundtrack Loops. So I had a look at the Sound Loops installer DVD from FinalCut HD and there I found a similar structur and copied the Index file to the location of the two indexes mentioned above. I left the Loops for Soundtrack where they are (also could edit the index file for new locations, but that's a 7.5MB text file) and now Garageband knows their location and also lists the loops at the right categories inside the Loop-Browser.
Maybe that helps someone, even if I didn't find a topic about it here.

Ah.. ok, then never mind. Just didn't find any information about how to use the old soundtrack loops with garageband and so I did some thinking on my own. And if it works that easy, the better it is

  • I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade but I have a new Apple ID, how can I make certain I don't lose any data in my iBooks?

    I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade iBook but it is "stuck" on my old ID, yet I already created a new ID but it won't let me update the App.  I have everything backed up on my MacBook so if I delete iBooks on my iPad and retrieve the App under my new ID and then sync with my MacBook, will I still have all of the books, etc.?

    Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you bought all of the books with the old ID then AFAIK you will have to continue to use that ID in order to continue to sync those books to the iPad.
    You have to update the app with the old ID so I don't see how you could keep the books with the new ID. Maybe I am wrong about this, but someone else will chime in I'm sure and correct me if I am wrong.

    I just went through this and it appears that my Focusrite Saffire was the culprit. I connected all the outputs on the focusrite according to the way the jacsk on the back were labeled and then set up the multichannel speaker setup to match. Then I went into STP, created a pink noise clip and panned it around, the LFE, center and rears were not in the right place.
    I reconnected the hardware to match the 5.1 pan pot in STP then changed the multichannel speaker setup to match. Everything appears to be correct now but I would have loved to have been able to just assigned the output busses to correct outputs in the saffire.
    Next step is to pan that pink noise around with my SPL meter to calibrate the room.

    Not sure what you are getting at... as...
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?

  • How to use pre-defined scenarios for RosettaNet with XI 3.0

    Hi all.
       I am working in Comgroup Shanghai co. ltd. which is partner of SAP China.
       We have a potential customer who use RosettaNet as their Supply Chain EDI system.
       I would like to make a demo for demostrate the pre-defined scenarios for RosettaNet RNIF 2.0 packages.
       Where can I find such guideline ? I have checked the article: implementing RosettaNet with XI 3.0, but it cannot help me.
       Another question is how I can develop my own scenarios for the RNIF standards which are not included in XI RosettaNet business package ?

    Hi Andy,
    See the instructions below after you installed the RosettaNet STK.
    Below given is the sample config for PIP3B2 Scenario. Part I is using STK and Part II is using 2 XI systems.
    <b>Part I. Test Using STK</b>
    In your XI ID:
    1) Define both the parties 1) Shipper(Your Partner) 2) Receiver(Your company) with identifiers like DUNS Number.
    2) In ID goto>Tools>Transfer Integration Scenarios from IR-->select the scenario "PIP3B2_Receiver" from the drop down list.
    3) Follow the 4 steps in the config wizard.
    4) While creating your CC, create it from the channel template delivered with the RosettaNet BP.
       4.1) Specify the URL for STK which should be in the following format
    http://<STK Server>:<port>/rosettanet/servlet/listenerServlet?userId=<Party Name>
       4.2)In the location fields, enter your location and your partner location.
    In your STK
    1) Start the RosettaNet STK.
    2) enter the UserID<Partner Name in XI>
    3) Select the Test Scenario, 3B2V01.01-AdvanceShipmentNotification-0001-Scenario-Shipper
    4) Enter Global Business ID(DUNS Number) and Location ID for both the partners. These fields should be same as in your R/3 Party configuration.
    5) Enter the URL as follows:
    http://<XI Server:<J2EE_Port>/MessagingSystem/receive/RNIFAdapter/RNIF
    If everything is configured correctly as mentioned, you should be able to test your single-action scenario.
    <b>Part II Test using another XI System</b>
    For these follow the steps above for XI Config.
    Configure one XI System as PIP3B2 Shipper using the Scenario "PIP3B2_Shipper" and config wizard as mentioned above.
    Configure the other XI as PIP3B2 Receiver using the scenario "PIP3B2_Receiver" and config wizard.
    In the Url field, specify the URL as follows:
    http://<XI host>:<J2EE_Port>/MessagingSystem/receive/RNIFAdapter/RNIF
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Sam Raju

  • How to use old 2005 cinema display (20'') with MacBook Air (mid-2009)

    My old 20'' cinema display (2005) has three ports coming out of its power box (single-port dvi, usb, firewire).  Is it possible to use this display with my newer MacBook Air (mid-2009) ? If so, what kind of connector do I need?  Thank you very much for your help.

    To use my old Cinema display (2005) with my old PowerMac G5 (2005) I had to plug in all three ports (DVI, usb and firewire) into the desktop.  Can I really use the display just with the DVI output plugged into my MacBook Air mini-Display Port ? 

  • How to use TH1 Custom Guitar Effect Suite with Garageband?

    I'm a newbie at home recording so bear with me.
    I just downloaded the TH1 Triode VST demo but can't figure out how to make it work with my Garageband software?
    Any suggestions where to start?
    Should I have downloaded the Stand alone version instead?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers!

    Bingo! That was the trick!
    Now, second question.
    If I want to buy the full version, do I purchase the the TH1 Triode AU version or would I need the TH1 1.1.4 AU Mac version? It says the TH1 1.1.4 AU is Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard compatible. But I'm on the 10.5.8 system. I guess my question is whether the TH1 1.1.4 is the latest version that works with 10.5.8 or is it only compatible with 10.6 or later? And by "Triode" do they mean "Try" ? LOL!!!
    I know it sounds dumb but I really haven't got a clue which one to go for on my system.

  • Can I use the Apple Loops in my iPhone application ?

    Hi,
    I use the Apple Loops for GarageBand to create my application soundtrack. But I don't know if I have the rights to do it.
    Someone can say me if I can ?
    Thank you !

    You can include the loops as part of your own soundtrack. But that soundtrack must be an original work. You cannot redistributed the loops by themselves. You have to make some new composition with them.

    I have an old Ipad and an IPad Air. I used one Apple ID for both IPads. Now I wish to split the iCloud storage and separate the two. I want to change my new IPad Air to a New Apple ID. How do I do it?

    Go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account, and enter your Apple ID password. Then sign in with the new ID.
    NOTE: "Delete Account" just means it will be deleted from the iPad. The account itself will not be deleted.

    Hi Baem_leeds
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.

  • HT5622 I have been using one apple ID for my family as it makes it easier to manage itunes purchases/rentals on all of our devices.  Now that my kids are getting old and my wife has recently purchased an Iphone, I can see that I need to change my strategy

    I have been using one apple ID for my family as it makes it easier to manage itunes purchases/rentals on all of our devices.  Now that my kids are getting old and my wife has recently purchased an Iphone, I can see that I need to change my strategy. I plan to add a few more iphones to the family very soon.  What is your recommendation to manage all of our devices (iphones, itouch, apple tv) for my family?  Can I continue to function with one apple ID or is it time to take the leep into attempting to manage multi-apple ID's? 

    There's a few ways of managing multiple devices on a single computer (and keeping seperate content on each). The following document is worth checking through:
