Adding 3rd party loops to the GB library (OSX)

Hope anyone can throw some light on this.
On the previous version of GB, I used to unpack the loops, select them as a group and drag to the Loops library in GB. This added them to the library catalogue with no problems so they could be selected, listened to and dragged into my tracks.
I've upgraded to the latest version, however when carrying out the same process, only some are added and others will simply not appear in the library.
Looking at the files, both are AIFF-C audio, both the same sample rate, both the same bits per sample and both the same duration. It's completely baffling me. Of the 509 loops I'm trying to add in this example, only 240 appear in the loop library. All will play in iTunes, so it doesnt appear to be file corruption at all.

Hi Scott,
I am not a developper and get access im May 2005 to this link: ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/DevelopmentKits/Apple_Loops_SDK1.1.dmg
If the link doesn´t work, please try Mac OS X, then Developer. Under Related Topics click on Music & Audio. And finally on Music and Audio Downloads. The last click on Apple Loops SDK 1.1 SDK et voilà.
I hope this time will work
Bye

Hi aadeshs
This problem is on my laptop running Vista ( Business) on Adobe 10.0 , for many years I did NOT have a problem with this . No forum Pages on this.
Also i would like to know how screen readers can better interact with PDF as my wife has difficultys on some email attachments on her laptop , again there seems no easy avenue for someone in her situation surfing websites and forums for Hours maybe ok ok for sighted people, but not if you are blind & use a screenreader. No Support Help from Adobe is available.

Deleting 3rd Party Loops... where the freak are they stored???

Yes, I know that by default, loops are stored in Library/Application Support/Garageband/Apple Loops, or the similar address under my user library.
And, I know there is another folder close by, for Jam Packs.
However, I have been going INSANE, trying to find old, single-hit files and obsolete loops which i have downloaded from 3rd party sources. They are NOT in the regular places such as the Apple loops folder.
All of them were installed by drag and drop method into the Garageband loop browser, so one would assume they all went to the same place.
How in the world do i find these loops?
The Finder and Spotlight have turned up nothing.
I have about 5,000 i'd like to trash to make room for more important things.
Can Garageband be THIS cumbersome?

HangTime wrote:
yes, that was telling him to not delete it by hand because, as Christoph points out above, you then need to reindex, whereas deleting it through GB takes care of that.
with 5,000, it's probably worth the reindex, deleting one at a time through GB would be ... tiring.
Actually. i like your idea of deleting from the browser. They are scattered in different categories and different folders. I'd have to search and test them anyway... so I might as well just axe them when i come upon them in the browser.
I swear I've tried it that way before, to no avail..
Thanks a lot for you help.

Why do my 3rd party loops not appear in the "Loop" tab?

I have saved some Magix wav loops into the local apple users directory of Logic Express and though I can find them using the media browser they do not appear in the loops tab listing.
Does anybody know the cure for this?

If you drag your .wav loops into the arrange area do they function properly? If not, you may need to convert them using Apple Loops Utility. After doing that you can drag the folder with the .aiff conversions onto your loops tab to import them.

HT1751 if i back up my itunes library to an external hard drive and then add subsequent music and want to back that up a few days later, can i backup the only newly added music without backing up the entire library again?

hello,
if i back up my itunes library to an external hard drive and then add subsequent music and want to back up the newly added music a few days later, can i do it without backing up the entire library again? or do i need to back up the entire library each and every time i back up to the external hard drive?

Just copy Users/yourusername/Music/iTunes (containing your library-files) to your external drive as well as that (extaernal) folder that contains all your audio-tracks.

Does adding third party ram void the warranty?

Will adding third party RAM, like Crucial, void the original Apple warranty or Apple Care warranty extension? Does the latency rate matter? Am adding a second stick of 512 mb ram to new iMac G5 (rev B actually). Is this ram ok for my iMac rev B as a second stick?
"Crucial 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered System Memory Model CT6464Z40B"

Adding third-party RAM to your machine won't void the warranty unless you damage the machine during the installation. That module matches the specifications your iMac calls for.

I wanted to know the safety of subscribing to 3rd party apps through the app store? i also wanted to know if we could use a iTunes gift card for the auto renewal subscriptions?

We wanted to subscribe to an app through the app store for our child. We just wanted to know how safe these 3rd party apps are with credit card information, because we dont want our information used in the wrong ways, or used for things other than the subscription. We also wanted to know if the subscriptions could be paid with itunes gift cards.

This link may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4009 Also not the additional information link near the bottom.
Basically anything purchased "in app" is handled through your iTunes account.

3rd Part Loops in the Loop Browser

Hello all!
I purchased a bunch of M-Audio percussion loops and installed them (or thought I did). Only I set of loops is listed in the loop browser drop down menu ant it's only listing 2 loops! I found 2 other folders of loops in my home folder/audio/user loops folder. They appear to be incomplete as well and they DO NOT show up in the loop browser menu in GB or Logic. I e-mailed M-Audio about it and they say that there might be multiple locations for these loops depending on what version of GB I'm using (3).
Anyway, what do I do now? Should I trash the loops in the user folder and then try a reinstall? If I do, can I put them in some other folder that GB can access from within GB?
Thanks,
Paul

HT1660 So...if I have limited hard space, is adding all my music to the iTunes library "doubling" the space taken up by my songs/albums?

I'm relatively new to Apple and iTunes. If I "add folders" that contain 1000s of songs from my hard drive to the iTunes library...does iTunes copy/create new files that essentially double the amount of space taken up on my hard drive, or does iTunes simply "point" to the original file?

Can I move that folder off my C drive onto an external drive?
The Automatically add to iTunes folder needs to be in the iTunes folder. If you move it elsewhere, it won't do anything.
To move yoru iTunes library to another drive...
Quit iTunes.
Move the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to the external drive.
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
You can now delete /Music/iTunes/ folder.

Removing 3rd party loops from GB

I've added a folder of loops to my GB loop library by dragging and dropping the folder onto the loop window.
I really hate these loops and now want to remove them (i now realise i should have auditioned them before adding), but can't seem to work out how to do it. Haven't been able to find anything in the forums that explains the process either.
Would really appreciate some guidance on how to do this.
thanks again- Mitch

delete your loops:

(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
then reindex your loop library:

Importing 3rd party loops doesnt work

in logic pro x when i drag and drop loops from my loop library folders they dont import at all (worked fine in logic 8). the popup window asks where i want to use them from and no matter if i choose original location or import to new folder they dont show up in the loop browser.
anyone know why?
Thx
Murray

Maybe you need to select the user category?

3rd Party Loops won't show up

I have browsed the forum and help sites and have seen many similar problems, but even after reading through everything I couldn't find something to fix my problem.
I just bought a loop set that were all .wav files. I converted them into .aiff files with the apple loops utility, and dragged that folder into the garageband loop browser. Everything looked fine, and I got that swirly rainbow ball to show that it was loading the loops, but I can't find them in my loop browser anywhere.
By the way, the filter loop check box in the preferences is definitely unchecked, and I can see all other loops. I also have the browser option set to see all loops.
I tried importing one individual loop by dragging it into the music editing pane, and then dragging that loop over into the loop library, and everything worked fine. The only problem is that I have a bunch of loops, and doing this for every individual loop is more trouble than it is worth.
note: Even though the loops don't show up in the loops browser, I can see the individual files in the Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/SingleFiles folder
thanks in advance for any ideas

this part is a bit confusing:
I tried importing one individual loop by dragging it into the music editing pane, and then dragging that loop over into the loop library
but what happens if you drop a file directly into the loop browser instead of dropping the folder?

Transferring songs from a 3rd party to my ipod

Hi. I would like to transfer my songs from a 3rd party, such as a CD, to my iPod and I don't know how to do that. If anyone knows how to do this, your help would certainly be appreciated. Thanks. Denise

Thank you for your reply. Maybe my question was unclear. There are songs IN the iTunes library that are 3rd party songs, such as those that were dowonloaded from a CD. I can see them on the left side when his iPod is on the computer screen. However, since my computer had to be completely cleared of everything, iTunes could not transfer the 3rd party songs per some protocol they have with Apple. They told me there is a way to transfer 3rd party songs from the iTunes library back onto the iPod. That is my question. I hope that is more clear. Denise

3rd Party AIFF loops tempo changes from loop library and Logic session

Hi there,
Hope somebody out there can help me out!
I've recently purchased some 3rd party loops, some in AIFF and some in WAV (Which I have converted to AIFF using the Apple Loops Utility), and i have been able to get these into the logic Loop library successfully.....Or so I thought!
The problem I am having is that when previewing one of my loops it's often double the speed that the set tempo, and this will happen to ALL of my loops. But when I drag one into my session, Logic asks if it should copy over the automation data with it, click yes, and it plays fine in the arrange window. And funnily enough, all of my loops in the library start playing at the correct tempo!
Once this has all happened, i've tried quitting logic, and re-opening....but the issue just happens again....
Has anyone else had this problem, or have any idea as to what the issue may be??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
