Find Remix Jam Pack loops not labeled by Genre in loop browser?

I've got all four Apple Jam Packs installed.
The World and Symphony jam packs are great, as I can locate the loops in the loop browser by Genre.
But the Rhythym and Remix jam packs don't seem to be labeled by Genre.
How can I identify them? There are way too many to just look and see what seems to be new or find them by trial and error.
Even the EXS24 instruments had to be moved to separate folders by hand to separate them from the other Garage Band instruments (but I could separate them from the others by date, so I figured out a way).
Frustrating to have installed a new product, and be unable to find it!

Hi Les,
I haven't used the loop browser much in Logic, but I know that it is very similar to the one in Garageband. If it's pretty much the same browser, then there will be a way to filter your search by "packages." For example, you can select the Remix jam pack and select loops just from it's collection.
I'm not on my Logic computer, so I'll test this later...

Can't see Jam Pack Loops in Logic Studio Browser

I have searched many other forums but can't find the same problem. Usually it relates to a separate disk for loops.
I have Garageband and 4 Jam packs installed on my computer (Dual G5 latest OSX up to date). Jam pack 1, Rhythm Section, Symphony Orchestra and something else... anyway I purchased Logic Studio (8) and installed that. During installation I noticed that it detected that I already had some of the Jam Pack loops on my drive so they were "unchecked" automatically and therefore didn't install. Now when I look in the loop browser only the Jam Packs that Logic did install are viewable in my loop browser. Yet the other jam packs are indeed viewable in Garageband. All of this is installed on a single internal drive that is the system drive (500GB) by the way. So I dragged the Jam Pack folders to the logic loop browser and it appeared to be adding the loops, but they are still not visible there.
Also, there is no dialogue box that appears to ask if I want to copy them or leave in current location as many other users have said it should ask. maybe that's because it's all on one drive though.
The other concern is that I wonder if the software instruments that come with the jam packs would be installed/available in Logic? Surely not, if I am just adding the loops to the browser. How do I ensure that I have access to all of the loops and all of the software instruments?
Can anyone please help with this, it would be much appreciated.

Hi Jaffles,
The best thing to doo is go to the various "Apple Loops Index" folders, remove all the index files that are in there and then reindex your loops by dragging them into the loop Browser. The index files will then be rebuilt.

Jam Pack loops not in loop browser

I just installed the World Music Jam Pack. Everything seemed to go well until I noticed that some of the loops did not show up in the loop browser. So I rebuilt the loop index, I unchecked the box in the GB Loop Preferences. Still the entire series of "Beltane" celtic loops do not appear even though it's in the loop folder on my hard drive. There may be others, but those I know for sure.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on?

Instruments from jam packs are not there after new install

hi,
i ve been using all jam packs instruments in my GB2 last year on my imac
without any problems. i have them all at my external FW drive since then, and never at my internal. ( i usually dont use "loops" at all, i prefer instruments )
so, i installed new 10.4.4. on my new pb. starting GB2 i cannot see any instruments in my instrument list except the basic GB2 which are shipped.
i am missing , just for example "House Remix Drum set". so i drag it from the external onto the loop window. (the whole GB folder) it takes 5 or 10min and then its finished adding. but they are not in the window. and its also missing when i open a song from 2004 and 2005. it says "cannot find House Remix Drums" for example.
i read this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107977
and did it now. but it didnt solve.
maybe i am doing something wrong.
i saw that there are 2 folders in my application support referring to GB2.
its "AUDIO" also, but i thought its only in "application support" > "GARAGEBAND"
drive: Apple Loops Index > folder is empty
drive: user: Apple Loops Index > folder is empty
drive: Library: AUDIO > a couple of folders there (?), includ. "Apple Loops Index" with has a file named "Search Index 28C826A1-8837-11DA-8A69-001124E15E20.txt" date: 2h ago.
how can i begin from scratch? its so confusing as i cant show the path to garageband manually, right? dropping isnt succesfull at all, as i did it now 10times. and its always asking me "this folder does already exist" "do you want to replace it...."
thanks!

Similar problem but browser would run for 5 minutes and then freeze. only done this since 3.6.6 update. Then i checked everything could think off and found 2 firefoxs running task manager so i ended the one that was frozen, works perfect. Maybe when firefox updated it did not remove the older version.

I purchased three jam packs back in 2004- new garageband will not recognize, why?

I purchased three jam packs back in 2004, recently upgraded to new garageband program. It does not find the jam packs purchased earlier. How do I get the program to recognize these loops. "Jam Party 1, World Music, symphony.????

If you only upgraded GarageBand and did not deinstall the old version, the Jam Packs should still be installed. Search for all possible locations, where loops could be installed:
GarageBand, Logic: Where loops get installed
Then reindex your GarageBand Loops.

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 Help

My computer finally died on me so I decided to get a new imac today. Bad news is that I am about ready to throw it through a window because even though I had the Jam Packs backed up on an external hard drive, I am having several issues. I can see that I have the .aif files now onto my new computer from a couple of the jam packs, and I've even moved those files over to the apple loops folder where all the rest of the pre loaded loops are, yet they do not show up as usable in Garageband, nor do I see any of the virtual instruments. I'm also getting the issue I've seen others have where some of the jam packs are not compatible w/ Lion. I saw there is a work around, but the problem is that I do not have the original discs and only have the files from my external hard drive and am getting the "you can't open the application packagebuddy because power pc applications are no longer supported" message. So this is causing me a lot of **** because I've transfered over some .band files from my hard drive, but without the same loops and software instruments I used before, my projects are a mess. Any ideas? I also saw something about an app called Main Stage that supposedly has all the Jam Pack content. Is this true?

Any ideas? I also saw something about an app called Main Stage that supposedly has all the Jam Pack content. Is this true?
That is true. If you buy MainStage 2, it will install all of the JamPacks, and you will be able to use the loops and instruments from Logic and GarageBand. An the price of MainStage is much less than the price for one single of the JamPack - in Europe 23,99 €, that is roughly 30 $US.
To buy MainStage would be the easiest solution.
To restore the older JamPacks from your backup, you need to
install the loops in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for GarageBand/
and the instruments in /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/
Also you need to reindex your Loops, see: Rebuilding the Loop Index in GarageBand

Lost access to jam packs

After installing other sound libraries, which I have now uninstalled, I still can not find the jam packs with in logic. They are in place on my external harddrive, but maybe someone can help me bring them back so they show up in the AU instruments.
Thanks,
Scott

Where can i download the jam packs?

i really need to find these jam packs.

You need to buy them; they cannot be downloaded for free.
The cheapest way to get the JamPacks is to buy MainStage 2 from the App Store ($30). This will install all JamPacks for GarageBand as well - much more economic than buying them separately as boxed retail version - they used to be sold for ($500).

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.

Can I still purchase a Jam Pack?

I am interested in purchasing the Rhythm Section Jam Pack for Garageband. Has this been discontinued?

yes, the Jam Packs are only data files, it makes no difference what OS they are used under, as long as GB runs, you can use the data.
the installers for the jam packs will not run under OS X 10.7.x, but once they are installed, you're good-to-go (for the sake of completeness: there are workaround for installing under 10.7, but you're fine as you are)

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

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

Re indexing issues in Apple Loop Browser (LP 9.0.2 / OSX 10.6.1 / Digi 002r

I'm trying to re index my loop browser in LP9 / OSX10.6.1
Are you having the same problem?
After trashing the 'Apple Loop Index', I pull in a folder from an external drive and notice that previous folders added to my browser have gone, including Jam Packs.
Also, I can't find the 're-index' option within the loop browser search option (right click brings down a list but the re-index option isn't there)
Interested to see whet you find.

Yep, I also had issues, where indexing the LP8 way (dragging folders with loops from the Finder onto the Logic loop browser) just bluffed to work (I dropped the folder on the LB, a progress window appeared, things apparently got done, but then nothing, no new entries in the Loop Browser.
So it seems that it is a L9 problem, since our Macs' are different in every aspect (Me: PPC- you: Intel, me: Leopard- you: Snow Leopard).
I finally decided to put all my loops in their default install locations and reindex them from there:
*Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple:*
Jam Pack 4 - Symphony Orchestra
Jam Pack Voices
Jam Pack World Music
*Library/Audio/Apple Loops/iLife Sound Effects:*
(13 folders)
*Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops:*
(some folders with my own and 3rd party Loops)
*Library/Application Support/Garageband/Apple Loops:*
Apple Loops for Garageband
Jam Pack 3- Rythm Section
for thorough reindexing, here are the steps:
1. Quit Logic and/or any other app that uses Apple Loops.
2. Go to all the locations I pointed out and trash all the index files from the *Apple Loops Index* folders. Also check the same locations in your Users/'you'/Library folder.
3. Start Logic with a new empty project, open the loop browser window by hitting the o key. Now drag the folders mentioned above in bold onto your loop browser. Logic should now index them correctly, including the foldermenu !http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2743/4085966954bf4fc039d7o.png! in the loop browser.

Apple Loops and the Loop Browser

maybe I'm missing something here, but whenever I save an edited audio file (or loop) with Apple Loops I can never seem to find the same file in the Loop Browser.
(unless that is how the app is suppose to behave ...)
I assumed the Loop Browser behaves somewhat like Logic's Project Manager, referencing and finding files that are associated with Logic Sessions.
Long story shot, how can i save my edited Apple Loop files and still find them using the Loop Browser
Thanks.

The additional content is not just the loops. It is also all the samples for the instruments etc.
You are correct, however, in the method of moving the loops.
