Can't hear green apple loops

I just downloaded the trail version of Logic express. I want to use some "green" apple loops as well as blue apple loops. I can hear the blue apple loops during playback but not the green apple loops. The only thing that happens with the green apple loops is that a little orange bar moves next to the channel showing that signal is there but i don't hear anything. I know I am diving into this head first but what am I missing. thank you

Hey Andy,
welcome to the forum,
the green loops (midi) you can drag them to the instrument tracks.
It will show notes.
If you drag them to an audio track, it display the audio wave.
Also do you have sound when you press on a green loop in loop broswer?
Try those.
Best regards,
Jorge

  • Insrument missing when using green Apple Loop

    Greetings,
    When dragging the green Apple Loop "Bread and Butter Bass 09" onto an audio instrument track in my arrange window, the result sounds very different than dragging the loop onto an audio track. When clicking on the "Bass" on the I/O of the channel strip of the instrument track, a small beige colored window pops up which says that it is the EXS24... which looks much different than the large green EXS24 (I presume the large green window is for the sampler and the other is not?).
    Anyway, the EXS24 screen for bass says "MISSING: Thumbstroke Bass". Doing a search for Thumbstroke Bass reveals that there are three related files for this instrument on my system, and the file paths for each related file are as follows...
    For Thumbstroke Bass.pst... Hardrive/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Plug-In Settings/Bass/Thumbstroke Bass.pst.
    For Thumbstroke Bass.exs... Hardrive/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument/Library/Sampler/Sampler Instruments/Thumbstroke Bass.exs.
    And for Thumbstroke Bass.cst... Hardrive/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument/Library/Track Settings/Software/Bass/Thumbstroke Bass.cst.
    How can I get the green Apple Loop in my instrument track to sound similar to the way it sounds in the Loop Browser? If the problem is the missing instrument above (Thumbstroke Bass), then how can I get this instrument into my EXS24? Do all three files above need to be put into a special place?
    I performed a scan update in my project manager... thinking that this would insert the necessary files into my EXS24, but I noticed no change in the menus on my EXS24 (the ? sampler too).
    Thank you for the help...

    Thanks to all for the very helpful responses.
    Regarding Bee Jay's post...
    The version of Logic that I am running is 7.2.3.
    I recently added an extra internal hardrive (Seagate 500 gig, 7200 RPM) and installed the most up to date Tiger OS. I then installed Logic 7.01... a few weeks later, I upgraded Logic directly from 7.01 to 7.2.3 (bypassed 7.1).
    In the process, I copied my garage band folder and portions of my Logic folder from my Seagate to my LaCie external hardrive with the goal of accessing instruments and samples from my LaCie. During recording, Logic is running on my Seagate, but the recording path records to my original hardrive. I noticed last night that the garage band folders on my LaCie and Seagate did not have the Thumbstroke Bass sample instrument files... whereas my original MacIntosh HD does have those files.
    When installing the Tiger OS on my Seagate, I wanted to do a fresh clean install, and did not use Migration Assistant, and did not transfer any files from my MacIntosh HD which had Panther on it at the time. When updating to Tiger on the MacIntosh HD, I did a simple update preserving previous pref files, etc. (which explains perhaps why the Thumbstroke Bass files were not deleted on the MacIntosh HD).
    I have some idea of some of the reasons this can happen.
    The Garagaband instruments like "Bass", "Drums" and so on, are basically mini EXS24's. If you have a "Drums" instrument loaded, and load an EXS24 instead, the same instrument remains loaded and you can play it in the full EXS24 as normal.<<</div>
    Yes, I have noticed the same above...
    It turns out that there is a small amount of sample content that must be in a preset location - if it's not, Logic does not initialise any of the mini-EXS24's, and trying to load content that requires them will fail.<<</div>
    Thank you, that makes sense.
    My mini-EXS24's do seem to initialize, but they have the message "MISSING: Thumbstroke Bass". I presume that the small amount of sample content that *must" be in a preset location is not there... the question is... How do I get it there?
    Try going to an instrument insert slot, and see which of the Garageband instruments you have available. In 7.1.x, there should be about 15 or so instruments - if you can only see about 9 or so, and can't see "Hybrid-basic" and so on, then this is an indication that you may have missing or moved Garageband content.<<</div>
    My instrument slots show about 15 or so instruments under the Garageband instruments, and the "Hybrid-basic" is there. Should I be able to find "Thumbstroke Bass" in the instrument slot menu also? (so far, I have not been able to find it)
    See my thread here for more details on this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=730936&tstart=0
    Have a look and see whether this might be the problem you are having.
    If not, then get back to me, it might be a case of your sampler instruments or samples not being found.<<
    Very helpful thread... I see some parallels to my current problem. You wrote that you had aliased your "entire AppSupport/Garageband library to an external drive, which works fine with Logic and Garageband except the sample based instruments in Logic - they seem to ignore the alias and hence can't locate the *.exs and/or the samples which they need." At the time, I did not know that I needed to create aliases, but I think that aliases were effectively created when I simply clicked and dragged the files from one drive to another, correct?
    The next step that you wrote about puzzles me... You wrote, "So after a big of re-jigging the library files around, I've ended having the "Sampler -> Sampler Files -> Hybrid Synthesisers" samples and the instrument settings in the real AppSupport/GB directory, with all the rest of the samples and GB loops on the external drive." I am confused as to which files and their paths that you are referring to...
    Don't forget that "Scan" in the Project manager does not change anything.<<</div>
    I see!
    I had forgotten that, and yes, it did not change anything.
    In order to relink your files, you'll have to perform the "Resolve instruments" option, which goes and relinks sampler instruments with their required samples.<<</div>
    THANKS!
    However, after opening the Project Manager, I cannot find anything in the drop-down menus for "Resolve instruments". How do I get there? Do I need to do another scan to get there?

  • 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.

  • Can you add more apple loops to ipad for GB?

    No, the only phone number you can add to iMessages is an iPhone number tied to the same Apple ID. However, as Jim explained, you don't need a number in iMessages to contact other iOS users. If you are not receiving messages from other iOS users, the problem is NOT the lack of a number.
    You do seem a little confused about how the iMessages works. People will message you at your Apple ID (which may well be the same as your primary email address). However, the messages appear in the Messages app, not your email. No checking of email is required. You will, of course, have to check the Messages app.

  • Can't get the Apple Loops to download

    In garage band 08', I open up my loops panel and click on any of the loops. It then says, "The software instrument or Apple Loop selected is not currently installed on your computer. Would you like to install the complete set of Garage Band instruments and loops?" My options are "Download Now", "Download Later", and "Install from DVD". The description of "Download Now" says, "Choose download now to download and install the additional content via the internet using Software update. I click "OK" and it takes me to Software Update. Here is where the problem is: it checks for updates, and then it says "Your software is up to date. Software update doesn't have any new software for your computer at this time." I go back to garage band, and it tells me the same thing as before (which is to update using Software Update). Its kinda weird, cause it tells me to download via Software Update, yet software update says there are no new updates. I've tried many things myself, but I can't figure out a way to download the Apple Loops for garageband. Somebody, please help me.

    Try using the loops again-When the dialog box opens, choose "install from DVD". You'll be walked through the steps (loops are on disc 2), restart & you're good to go. I did not need to trash any existing files. BTW my machine is only 3 days old. The loops are a blast to work with.

  • I can't find converted apple loops in the loop browser within Logic pro 7

    Hello There.
    I've cereated some apple loops with the apple loops utility. unfortunately I am unable to find them in the loop browser within Logic pro 7.2.1.
    I've scaned them using the project manager " so Logic knows about them"
    but still didn't reflect in the loop browser.
    Is this the normal behavior or what am I doing wrong.
    I hope I am doing something wrong, as to me the main feature of the loop browser is to be able to audition the loops quckly at the song tempo.
    Thanks a lot in advance
    Cheers
    P.S searched in the Forum but the answers arn't very clear

    Just drop them on the Loop Browser and the rest should be taken care of.

  • Can I relocate the Apple Loops & Index folder to another drive?

    There's like 10GB of Apple Loops on my boot drive. I would LOVE to move all of that stuff off to a data drive. Is there a PLIST file or something that tells SoundtrackPro, etc where this treasure-trove of stuff is located - or is it hardwired to be in the Library folder on the boot drive?
    G5 DP 2GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hello,
    Loops reside in a few files.
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops
    ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops (if you installed any thiord party guys)
    The index files are here:
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index
    ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index
    To move the loops to an external drive:
    1. Move all of the loops from the Apple Loops folders above and move them to the external drive.
    2. Delete all of the Index files.
    3. Use the Loop Browser to reindex the loops from the new drive.
    Be sure to drag the loops as individual folders (in other words if you store them in a folder called loops and then have groups of loops under that) if you don't, you will have one large group instead of several smaller ones. It makes it easier to find what you want.

  • Adding apple loops?

    Hi guys,
    Wonder if you can help me with this.
    I have a few Big Fish sample cd's that have apple loops on them, is there a way I can add them so they show up in the logic apple loops browser in the appropriate section?
    Where would I need to copy them? I have all my samples on an external hd so would it be possible to reference them to show up in the browser??
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    I am having trouble making my own apple loops and am hoping someone can helo: When I highlight an audio region in the arrange window, use the "add to apple loops library" under the local region command, the loop shows up in the apple loops browser, but it is an empty audio region when i drag into the arrange window to an audio track. when i drag a midiloop into the browser, it seems to work out fine, and i can create a green apple loop, but not with audio. i've noticed, that the loops are saved under users/library/apple loop/user loops/single files, but even when i try to import the audio files from this folder as audio into the arrange window or audio window, they still come up as empty files. can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
    thanks in advance.

  • Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

    Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

    Here's the short-cut solution:
    Green Apple tracks are MIDI files (so to speak). If you drag one from the loop browser (Capitol C Orchestral hit, as you mentioned in this exable) directly into the arrange page it creates the MIDI file and the instrument to play it back on.
    HOWEVER.If you create and audio track first, THEN drag the green Apple loop onto that track, the loop will get "bounced" with the reverb in tact and you'll have the exact sound that you heard in the preview.
    Make sense?

  • Play Apple Loops "in the mix" is slow / unusable

    Hello All
    I used Apple Loops for quite a while now within my projects. In the earlier versions it was possible to listen to apple loops while playing in the mix and switching the the next loop was allmost in realtime.
    *PROBLEM NOW* : while the sequencer is not running, i can prelisten all the apple loops and switch beetween them in realtime, while the sequencer is playing, the loops take up to 4 bars until they play / change.
    Anyone else ? Played allready with the latency settings and buffer size and so on.
    Any advice would be welcome.
    Daniel

    I would also like to know the answer to this question if you've figured it out. Thanks.

  • Logic 9 Pro won't load apple loops library or EXS24 Instruments!

    First off, specs:
    I'm running 9.1.8 on OSX 10.8.2
    I recently purchased a brand new 13" MacBook Pro (early this december) and used migration assistant to transfer my accounts, apps, and such from my old hard drive to my new one. Everything seems to be in its place and running fine, except for Logic 9 Pro.
    Whenever I load up a session featuring the EXS24 sampler, the loading bar will hang up upon loading the instrument, eventually turn into the spinning wheel of death, and become unresponsive. This also happens when I create a new session, open up a new instance of EXS24, and attempt to load a patch. All of the other stock Apple instruments load up just fine.
    I also noticed that Logic can't locate my Apple Loops Library, as every option in the loop browser is grayed out. I went into my library folder and found the EXS patches as well as the Apple loops, so I know they're there!
    Unfortunately, I don't have a Logic 9 CD (It came preinstalled on my previous computer), so to my knowledge reinstallation isn't an option, unless there's a way to reinstall Logic 9 without a CD and without losing my license. I've already tried the following to resolve this issue:
    - Reindexing spotlight
    - Reindexing loop browser
    - Disabling spotlight on the volume where the Logic files reside
    - Deleting the Logic 9 preference file
    If anyone has any insight or a way to reinstall Logic 9 Pro without a CD and without losing my license, it'd be greatly appreciated!

    Hi
    You probably need to re-index the Loop Library.
    In Logic 9 control click on the Loop Library and choose "Reindex"
    In Logic X use the Loops Menu at the top and again, choose "ReIndex".
    If that does not do it, you may need to manually remove the Index files

  • Saving apple loops

    What's up. I can not find my apple loops in the browser. i'm saving it in the wrong place. i believe it's going to my documents folder. How do I save my loops in the write place

    > whenever I save apple loops they end up in ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/
    Same here... It doesn't matter where they actually are, as long as you know the location, in case you'd have to re-index them. And, even if you didn't know, you could still gather your sheep by performing, in Finder: command-F, a search for the "creator" attribute, with "stlu" as the value field.

  • Crossfading Apple Loops?

    I would have thought if this was a bug it would have been fixed, as its always "bugged" me!
    Does anyone know why Apple Loops seem to omit themselves from being edited - apart from splicing? If I want to chop up a loop and hack it back together without it cracking and popping between cuts the only option is to automate the volume, which is a real pain, you can't even merge Apple loops! Anyone one know why this is? Is it just some piece of metadata I can get rid of?

    Wow... hehe not very "user friendly then" it must be something to do with the metadata no? after all they are "aiff" files. I always thought it was a glitch in Pro 7. Ah well... the crackles will have to stay...
    Meh
    Thanks

  • I'm wondering about using Apple loops in music. Is it ok to do so to make music for people to hear, without it being sold. And how do you get permission to use them in music to sell?

    I'm wondering about using Apple loops in music. Is it ok to do so to make music for people to hear,like on soundcloud or other websites, without it being sold. And how do you get permission to use them in music to sell?

    From the LOGIC STUDIO SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT   :

  • HT1655 i can't hear music and i know its on it, i can see it on my comptuer. now, it is blinking green then orange.

    I found my old ipod shuffle. It has music on it. But, i can't hear it.
    I tried reseting it. Now, it blinks green, orange, green, orange, so on.

    I figured it out.
    When you plug them in, you have to adjust the volume directly from the headphones or you don't hear anything. So use the little control on your apple headset and the sound will work. I feel like such an idiot for not figuring that out sooner *facepalm*
