Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11. If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11? And will it run on Snow Leopard?

Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11. If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11? And will it run on Snow Leopard?

then had to find out (same as with this issue) that I presently have other software that will not run on Maverics.
You could create a clone of your drive with all your current software, so you could continue to work with your Snowleopard software by booting from the clone, and upgrade your main system to Mavericks, if your computer supports Mavericks. This way, you could have both, if the new features of Mavericks are interesting to you - e.g-, iCloud syncing of multiple Macs, new sharing features, and for GarageBand automatic drummers and arpeggiators.

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

ITunes update to 4.0 requires checking 32-bit mode in "Get Info" window. No such checkbox exists. iTunes refuses to launch. iMac 27-in., Mac OS 10.6.8. Tried re-installing iTunes 4, but went into infinite loop while in "Registering Installed Components"

After updating to iTunes 4, launching the application indicated that 64-bit mode was only available in Mac OS 10.7 Lion and to use in 32-bit mode by checking the 32-bit mode checkbox in the iTunes "Get Info" window. However, this window does not have the aforementioned checkbox. Thus, iTunes is now unusable. Tried to download fresh install from Apple site, but this process went into an infinite loop during the "registering installed components" phase of the installation. Had to force quit. System is iMac 27-inch, Core i7 processor, Mac OS 10.6.8. Is there a problem with iTunes 4? Can I go back to the previous version? Thanks.

Ah! I found several other people with the same problem in this forum. I followed the suggestion to move iTunes 4 from the "Applications" to the desktop and launch it from there. It worked! I moved it back into the Application folder and its still okay. Thanks! This is a definitely a bug that Apple needs to address quickly.

Any fix for Jam Pack 4 low volume loops?

I'm using Jam Pack 4 with Garage Band 2. I find that very many of the orchestral loops are recorded at such a low volume they are unusable. Even when placed into a Garage Band track and volume pushed to the "max" they are still not loud enough to balance with other tracks, making them useless. I went to the download area and thought there was a fix [Jam Pack 4 V 1.0.1]. The download would not install, saying "There is nothing to install." Frustrated. Any suggestions? I searched the forum topics and haven't this problem. Is it just me?

Garret,
Can you give a few examples of loops that play low?
Where in CT?

Voices Jam Pack Install Problem

I just purchased a used (real, not bootleg) Voices GarageBand Jam Pack but it won't install on my iMac 800MHz G4.
I am currently running with GarageBand 2.0.2 .
The Instrument Library is grayed out on the installation type page.
When I try to install it says "Please try installing again."
Any Suggestions?
Thanks.

Jam Pack install issue

Since Jam Packs seems to not have a dedicated page, I take my chance out there:
I got the latest SL 10.6.8 and I'm trying to install all jam packs that I have legally bought. The installation process is extremely slow (approx. 2h each DVD) and end with an error message. I've tried to create an image from DVD with the utility disk tools to avoid an installation from DVD. The process is real faster but still end with an error message. Is there a way to install Jam Packs without problems?
Regards.

when you put the logic install disk in, a few steps in it will ask you what components you want to install....uncheck all the components you do not wish to install...this will make it quicker

Garage Band Preference settings for use with Reason

i am trying to get my settings right in both GB and Reason so that i can record my reason samples into GB . So far i finally learned from you folks how to play the samples in either GB or R using of course my Keyboard and ii know to start GB first so it is master ,, Having done that , i can see that GB does recognize that i am pressing the keys even when playing the Reason sounds but the reason sounds are not showing up as a signal on the GB volume controls ,, all that shows is that little dot when i press a key next to the tempo .. So far i am thinking that i need my Generator setting in GB set to : AU NET RECEIVE ( ??? ) The Reason preference's under advanced MIDI are also ??? but under External Control in Reason , i need to know for Bus A , B , C , D which to have set at my : Kontrol 49 MIDI IN and which of the A,B,C,D BUS's to have set for : KONTROL 49 PORT A and/or KONTROL 49 PORT B . Thankyou much and i hope you all have a great rest of the day : ) Steve

Well, you can create a droplet from Compressor that would do what you'd like...

1. public void MainThread(Socket socket) : Procedure??
2. MainThread(Socket socket) : Constructor of your class.
I think i would use the constructor approach. (2.).

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!

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.

Beginner garage band question

I put something together (calling it a song is a stretch) in Garage Band for a function at my daughters school. It's supposed to play continuously for about 40 mins. It's 4 minutes long so I want it to loop 10 times. I did share to itunes and was able to get an mp3 on my ipod What is the best way to make this 4 min garage band song loop for 40 mins and play from a cd? Can I set Garage Band to loop 40 times and export to itunes?

IF, the song can be looped seamlessly, You can use the cycle function to make it loop endlessly. Once you have that going to your satisfaction, download a copy of the freeware Wire Tap, which will allow you to record an almost unlimited amount of time (I think it is only limited by the HD space you have availabel, and yes, you are looking at 400 megs easisy!) from any source on your computer. Make sure the very end of the song goes seamlessly to the beginning. Then, simply hit the record button on Wire Tap, and quickly the play button in GB, and then watch the clock. Stop the Wire Tap recording at 40 minutes, and voila! You have a single 40 minute loop of your song to burn to a CD, with no worrying about iTunes settings at all.

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...

Garage Band is recognizing ".aif" format loops but not ".aiff" format loops

All of the ".aif"-formatted loops (from Jam Packs, etc.) are showing up fine in the Loop Browser, but other loops I bought from third-party vendors that are in the ".aiff" format are not showing up at all in the loop browser. They are all in the same correct folder for loops on my system along with the working Jam Pack loops. I tried dragging and dropping a bunch of these loops onto the blank space on an open session based on some advice I read on the internet, and Garage Band processed them (and created new instrument tracks on the screen for each loop) but they did not subsequently show up in the loop browser as I had hoped. Do I need to reformat these to ".aif" somehow? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Just to follow up, draggging the loop folders into the loop browser didn't work exactly on its own, but I got it to work in the following manner. First I went to the finder and deleted the apple loop indexes in each of the two locations where apple loops are stored in my computer (note to Apple: why multiple different folders for Apple Loops?). Then I dragged all of the Apple Loops that were stored in the second loops folder (in the Library under "Audio") to the first Apple Loops folder. Then I dragged both entire Apple Loops folders (required even though the second one was now empty) into the loop browser. Upon dragging the second one in, Garage Band automatically began reindexing my loops and then everything showed up in the loop browser correctly, finally. Apparently both (or all) locations where Garage Band stores loops must be individually dragged into the loop browser to trigger the reindexing process. This process was harder than it should be and I feel like it represents an annoying bug in Garage Band, in addition to the help from this post I also had to google research the problem for quite some time to figure out this process.

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.
regards, Erik.
