Jam pack strings poor sound

Hello,
2 questions.
1) Why is it that when I assign the JamPack violin sound to a track another track with the same name appears in the list? I seem to remember reading some where that some of these sounds are stereo and require two tracks though it seems to make no difference to the sound if I delete one of the two.
2) The sound itself is lacking depth and is scratchy. I find it hard to believe that this is the sound that the engineers intended. It seems like I'm only getting part of the sound. It's the same with all the string sounds. Can this be so?
Thanks, Julian

Ah, I see you are on 7. It may well be different. Anyway, I've just installed "Jam Pack Symphony Orchestra" myself, & obviously I'm not getting this behaviour, although that isn't surprising given the differences.
I need to know exactly +how & where+ you installed your Jam Pack constituent parts, since this is a very well-known bone of contention. If everything just went where the installer suggested it should go, then that's not the issue (although it means your boot drive now has loads of 'stuff' on it).
However, if you made different choices, or moved stuff yourself, then I suggest you read this discussion (especially towards the end) & then get back: [Make Room!|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2026399&tstart=0]
You should also know that installing Jam Packs can result in previously-installed material being deleted. There's a warning about that in the installer Read-Me.

Where can i download jam pack 4 (orchestral sounds) for garageband 6.0.5. please. I have an air book maverick OSX 10.9.4. Thanks

This JamPack is no longer sold separately by Apple. You could search for the boxed retail version of the JamPack at eBay or Amazon.
But it is much more economic to install MainStage 3 instead. You can buy it at the Mac App Store. MainStage 3 will install all five JamPacks for a price much less than the price of a single JamPack used to be. Afterwards the JamPacks will work with Logic and GarageBAnd as well.
Just launch MainStage after installing and use the command "MainStage > Download additional content" and select the JamPacks you want to install.

How to modify the drum sounds in Jam Pack?

Hi Folks, I know this is a newbie question but what I'm reading is over my head. I have the Rhythm Section/Jam Pack and I want to be able to adjust the drum sounds individually. I know it talks about a midi keyboard controller but that's where i lose it. I am playing Roland TD-6 Drums, via MIDI/USB interface to my Mac. Can anyone give me some direction for a MIDI idiot? Thanks much!

Hey Guys, Thanks for the replies, sorry for my delay.
To explain further, what I mean is, with the help of "HangTime" I can play my Roland drums into my Mac and get them to work as a software instrument in GB. Now, I'd like to be able to adjust the sounds: for instance, change the volume of the high hat only, lower the pitch of the first tom only. The following line is in the "Rhythmsection" documentation:
"In addition, you can modify the sound of each drum kit in real time using keyboard controllers, including the modulation (mod) wheel and pitch bend wheel."
I guess what I'm saying is the above statement is currently way beyond my skillset and I was hoping for some simplified direction.
Hope that helps and thank you reading.

Solo Strings Software for MIDI controllers & JAM PACKS

Hi,
Anyone have suggestions on software that contain solo strings for MIDI software? I have been told that the Apple Jam Packs do not have these.
Thanks

Try the Boldt 24-pack. Or if you really want to go big, the Garritan orchestra suites.

Jam Pack Sound Quality

Hi Guys
I am just getting into expanding my sound library .my major area of work involves lounge and remix . I am planning to buy the Jam Pack Remix tools . Is any one using them or heard them .Please let me know
Also how do i visually see a track that is muted in the arrange window also being muted in the mix window
Thanks
Regards

Sounds are matter of taste - depends what you like. I have all the Jam Packs and they are excellent value for the price, well played and well recorded loops and some fine sounding instruments.
If you have a chance, check out the remix tools before buying to see if you like the stuff.
If you are muting the whole track you can of course see it from the mute button. You could also set up a screenset where you can see the arrange window in addition to the mixer.

Which Jam Pack?

I played a guitar patch titled "Auditorium Guitar" or something similar a while back while in a studio. I understand it came from a jam pack. I was wondering what jam pack it came from. It was an acoustic nylon string classical sound that was heavily processed with reverb, possibly echo.

I know it was in the first Jam Pack that Apple released, don't know whether it's in any of the current ones.

Error when installing jam pack/audio content on new imac

Keep trying to install the audio/jam pack cd´s that came with my Logic Studio bundle on my new Imac/Leopard. When i´m almost done installing, it asks for the "logic" cd and then after a while i´m getting an error "installation failed"- disk corrupted" or something? I cannot as it works now find (almost) any of the audio files that i´m using (brass/horn sounds etc..). Anyone who´s had the same experience?
Thanks!

Also seeing this problem. I'm updating to latest logic and 10.5.3 right now to see if it mitigates it.

LE 8 doesn't see all of my installed Jam Packs

Just setting up a new mac. I installed all the Jam Packs. After that I brought up Garageband and when I click on "Loops" it show the following list. I did notice that when Garage Band came up, it indicated that it was searching for Jam Packs...
Garage Band
iLife Sound Effects
Jam Pack Remix Tools
Jam Pack Rhythm Section
Jam Pack Symphony Orchestra
Jam Pack Voices
Jam Pack World Music
I then installed Logic Express 8. I launched it and when I click on "Loops", I'm missing 2 of the Jam Packs. I only see:
Garage Band
iLife Sound Effects
Jam Pack Remix Tools
Jam Pack Voices
Jam Pack World Music
Can I drag the missing Jam Packs on to Logic? I don't want to make copies, just want them to be seen there.
Please advise.
Thanks

One more observation. I tried dragging just one file over from the Orchestra folder (Academy Cello 01). I then searched for it and found it. I then searched for "Academy Viola 01", but it didn't find it. I ended up dragging over the set of 5 Academy sounds and now if I search for just "Academy" to all show up in the search results. The only bad thing is I don't actually see the "Symphony Orchestra" pack in the list. I guess I can live with that, but it would be nice to see them all there, just so I know which ones I have. Dumb, I know...
If you know of any other way, please let me know.
Thanks again for your help!

Adding jam packs and loops

Hello everyone. This post may have been answered. Anyway, I have installed all jam packs and sound content on external drive. I was wondering how to index them so i can access them in logic pro as loops. It seems that some are there and some are not. Thank you for reply.
David

1. How do I install everything...
run the installer and when the Customize button appears, click it. use the discloser triangle next to GB to make sure it's ancillary files are selected for installation
2. Is there a list of all available Jam Packs?
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/PluginsApplesJamPacks.html
3. Do Jam Packs work with GB 08 and 09?
yes
4. Does only Apple make Jam Packs? If not, where to go for others?
yes, but may other companies make loops that are Mac compatible. there are also loops available freely on the net, as well as synths and SoundFonts (instruments):

How
drop them onto the loop browser
and where do I find them?

Poor sound - FIX - well possibly

Hi guys,
Don't know if this helps you but I was experiencing low sound volumes when playing dvds but all other sound levels were fine (ie windows beeps and system sounds etc.).
Installed AC3 audio filter and went into the control panel for that and incresed the master gain. now my dvds play at an acceptable level.
Start Menu -> Programs -> AC3Filter and run AC3Filter Confiig. Increase the Master at Gain, click Apply and OK. You will notice that the DVD movie volume has been increased.
Sorry I don't know enough about sound to see why this works but it worked for me.
Hope this helps
Now if only can sort out low mic volume issue
Regards
Rob

dancecertified,
I did try to install sp40714.exe by following your instructions. I tried twice. Both times, I uninstalled the default IDT driver from Add/Remove programs, rebooted, then installed sp40714.exe. Both times, after the installation, when I tried to connect any of my USB storage devices, or SD cards, it started asking me to install the drivers, which it could not find.
This is the second time that I had to format and re-install XP from the recovery disk.
This is where I am right now. I'm on the original sound drivers, vanilla XP install, but at least I can plug in all of my USB peripherals.
I've chatted with HP support twice, both times they told me to try to re-install the latest XP driver (sp42298.exe), which not only brought back the old poor sound quality, but didn't frix the USB storage recognition problem.

Loading Jam Packs on Macbook Air without CD drive

Since my Macbook Air (with Lion) doesn't have a cd drive, I recreated the Jam Pack directories in my Macbook Air exactly as they appear on my iMac (with Lion), and copied and pasted the Jam Pack folders/files from my iMac to my MacBook Air using an external hard drive to do the transfer. Here is where I put the Jam Pack folders/files on my MacBook Air:
Jam Pack - 4 Symphony Orchestra and Jam Pack World Music:
Library>Audio>Apple Loops>Apple> (for the Jam Pack sounds)
Library>Audio>>Apple Loops Index> (for the Index files)
Jam Packs 2 and 3:
Library>Application Support>Garage Band>Apple Loops (for the Jam Pack sounds)
Library>Application Support>Garage Band>Apple Loops Index (for the Index files)
However, when I fire up Garage Band, it still doesn't see the Jam Packs. Can anyone tell me why, and what I might do about it?
Thanks,
tkaba

You also do need the Instruments Library; otherwise the instruments to play the loops will be missing:
The Instruments Library is located in
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/
Ssee what else from /Library/Application Support/GarageBand you may need, also from the corresponding files in your user library.
To reindex your loops properly, reveal the Library>Application Support>Garage Band>Apple Loops files in the Finder, launch GarageBand, and drag the loops into your GarageBand Window, directly onto the Lopp Browser. Do that for all Loop Folders in your User Library.

Please help... jam packs not working with logic express 8

my jam packs do not work. i go to the library tab, open one of the jam packs category, "Symphony Orchestra" for example. i choose an instrument folder ("strings" for example), and then an instrument. a window pops up and says "File not found... Result code = -43". What does this mean? What can i do to fix it?
You my also know that the jam packs work fine in Garage Band.

Hi,
on a UNIX based system, every file has it's own set of permissions who own it, who can read it or who can write to it. Sometimes, things get corrupted (often during an install or update, when administrator rights are used or not used....)
However: Open the Harddisk Utility in the Applications/Utilities Folder. Select your Harddisk and klick on "repair permissions". Wait for some minutes (takes some time).
You should do this not only now, but before and after every major update/change to your system.
The next step, if this doesn't work, would be to manually locate the files EXS24 is missing, but for this better ask someone in the Logic Pro forum.

Jam pack content error, any ideas?

Just did a re-install of Logic Studio, and all of the supplied content. When I make a new software instrument track and select a jam pack preset sound from the library browser, it loads the sound just fine, but when I try to select another sound it says "File not found / result code =-43." If I create a new software instrument track, and repeat the process, the same error code comes up. Any idea why it would let me load just a single sound, then give me the error message when I try to select another?

I don't usually use Jam Packs so today was the first time I've checked to see if they are there. Nope. I only have Jam Pack 1 showing up in my library. I checked GarageBand and it sees all 5, so something is wrong with Logic Studio not seeing them.
I did a full upgrade from Logic 7 and have never had Jam Packs before (so they are not left over from a previous install). When I did the upgrade, all options were available and I just did a full install, not a custom one. It said it completed successfully.
Any ideas on how I can get Logic Studio to see the Jam Packs?

Keystation 49e toasted after installing Jam Pack

I have an M-audio Keystation 49e that I have used mostly for music composition using my iBook and a nice shareware program, Melody Assistant. Lately my son has been using the keyboard a lot for composition on an iMac using GargageBand. He has been desperate for a JamPack to get better souunds, so I got him the Orchestral JamPack for his Birthday yesterday. The sounds are indeed excellent. However, a little while (~30 min) after installing the JamPack, the keyboard stopped working, first intermittently, like when changing an instrument, then completely. No sound, no indicator lights, nothing getting recorded. Thinking it was a driver problem, I installed the latest M-audio driver I could find (3.1) but no dice. Hoping to debug the issue, I plugged the keyboard into my iBook and now it doesn't work there either! When I try to use Melody Assistant, a weird error message comes up saying "An OS X midi driver has been recognized but gives do information about output destination." I tried our other iMac (without the new JamPack installed), and it doesn't work there either. Looking at the USB section under "About this Mac", the keyboard is being recognized correctly, but it does not seem to be able to send notes to any program on any of our macs. It seems like installing the JamPack has somehow broken the keyboard, but I have no idea how this could be or what to do about it. Any suggestions appreciated!
Intel imac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The M-Audio driver is irrelevant: it is used to recognize extra controls on the more advanced keyboards. The 49e does not require a driver.
Since the keyboard doesn't work on another computer either it seems unlikely that the Jam Pack has got anything to do with it. I would suspect a hardware fault in the keyboard or the lead. Try replacing the USB lead first, then if that doesn't help you may need to see if you can get a repair.
