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?

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?

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.

Loops are installed, but not in Loop Browser

Hi All!!
I have just bought the four (newly packaged) GarageBand Jam Packs. I was so impressed with the demo "song" Victory (Full), that I have decided to use those loops for a project I am working on.
The "Victory" loops all play in the loop browser (all 137 of them) when I have "Victory (Full)" loaded for playback in GarageBand.
But.......
When I start a new project, the Victory loops are not available in the loop browser. This is rather perplexing for me.
What do I need? I need to find a solution to see these loops and maybe others that are missing (but not missing).
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes. The demo song is in D, and I have ensured that I have set the new song to be in D.
I have also trashed the preferences, trashed the indexes, rebuilt the loop browser by dragging the loop folders from all sources (sources being those defined by the install script), and ensured that the Keyword Browsing is unckecked and I have reset the keyword layout.
The only thing I have not done is the laborious task of importing each of the 137 Victory files into the the track window then translating each individual part as an Apple Loop. The reason for this is two fold: 1. I am on the lazy side of life and think there should be a quicker way; and 2. I have checked the other files contained in Library -> Audio -> Apple Loops -> Apple -> Jam Pack 4 - Symphony Orchestra are available in the loop browser under the Jam Pack 4 and the Loops Pull Down Menu.
I am very unsure of the next thing to try.
Rodger GW
PS I have even tried to have those loops from the "Victory (Full)" file be selected as favorites. They now reside in Home -> Library -> Audio -> Apple Loops -> User Loops -> SingleFiles, but do not appear in the Favorites tab in the Loop Browser in any new project.
Thanks in Advance,
RGW

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.

HT1045 garageband won't accept my jam packs.

When I drag my jam pack folders into the loop browser it says 'indexing..' for a couple of minutes but doesn't do anything. I've tried moving the jam pack folders from the library of the root user to my own user library and back but none of it is working. Any ideas anyone? Thank you in advance

So I went looking for the corresponding folders and saw that all the .caf files were there. I thought that dragging the folder icons onto the loop browser might get Garageband to reindex and recognise them but it was just experimental.
That i s exactly how it is done.
But an empty loop browser does not necessarily mean, that GB does not recognize the loops. Have you checked all filters?
The Loop browser may look empty, unless you click and select a button that is not dimmed. Or all your buttons dimmed, when you select the JamPack 1?
You may have selected a project signature that simply has no loops - like 12/4; and set the scale neither major nor minor, also the "preference" setting "preferences > Loops > keyword browsing > Filter for more relevant results" will exclude most of the loops from being displayed. With the signature set to 4/4 and selecting "All Drums" you should see lenty of loops in JamPack 1:
I'd move the loops folder back to exactly where it has been installed and where you indexed it last. If clearing the filters does not bring them back, check the permissions on that folder. Are you signed in from an admin account?
Make sure the permissions on the loop folders and the loops are set, so that you have read access.
And if you dragged your loops several times to the loop browser you now may have duplicate loops.
I'd rebuild the loop index, and start over; see this document:

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

Need Help controlling Garageband Jam Pack File Sizes

I recently purchased all of the Jam Packs, and would love to make use of them with both Garageband and Logic Pro. The problem is the HUGE amount of space HD space they demand. I've researched these forums, and read about the plan of installing the Jam Packs, moving the Apple Loops to an External HD, and then cleaning out the Apple Loops Library & Index files on my main HD. The problem is, once I did this (testing it with just the World Jam Pack), I STILL lost over 10 GB's of HD space, compared to what I had before the initial Jam Pack instillation! What's taken up all of this space, and how do I get my space back? CAN I put the Jam Packs on an external drive, or not? Thanks in advance!

I don't think there's 10 gig worth, but the Jam Packs install instruments as well. Leave those where they are.

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?

I am currently running Snow Leopard. If I install on Snow Leopard, it will still run when I update to Lion, correct?
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)

Installed Jam Pack but see no new loops in Garageband loop browser. Why not?

I successfully installed Jam Pack but don't see new loops in Garageband loop browser. Is there some extra step I'm supposed to do? Before, I had about 57 Rock/Blues loops, and I still have just that. I had 14 instruments under All Drums, and guess what? Still only 14.
I know the install completed successfully - it said so, anyway.
Clues?

Have you filters set on the Loop Browser? Make sure the GarageBand Preference "Loops > Keyword Browsing > Filter for more relevant content" is off. Otherwise you will see a fraction of the available loops.
To see, if the JamPack has been installed, set the pop-up meu at the top of the Loop Browser to "Rhythm Section". Is that available?
Did you reindex your Loops after installing the Jam Pack? And did you restart the Mac? In Mt. Lion only restarting a Mac will ensure, that an application is not resumed from a cache, when you launch it again.Restarting the Mac will terminate GarageBand for sure.
If restarting the Mac does not make the JamPack Loops show, rebuild the Loop index. See: Rebuilding the Loop Index in GarageBand 6 or earlier - Apple Support

Jam packs showing in finder but not in loop browser

Hi, i've got all the jam packs installed and showing up in the library under the audio folder but they do not show in the loops browser of Logic 9.1.3. Does anybody have an idea on how I can get them to "sync"up with the loop browser or import them into the program. Thanks much.

I'm having a similar issue, but with gigs of new sample libraries. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2696089&tstart=0

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...

Jam Pack 2 & 3 loops don't show in loop browser

When I add the Jam Pack 2 & 3 loops to the loop browser, they do not appear-how can I get the loops to show up ?

Here's the method to reindex I was given at another forum (worked for me):
1-Open the loop browser
2-Search for a default apple loop (for exemple 70s ballad drums 01).
3-Search the "70s ballad drums 01.aif" file in your finder. It should be in "HD-Library-Audio-Apple Loops-Apple-Apple Loops for GarageBand".
4-Drag the "70s balla drum 01.aif" file to your desktop.
5-In the Logic Loop browser, select the "70s Ballad Drums 01" loop.
6-Logic will tell you it can't find the file and ask you if you want to re-index all your appleloops.
7-Go back to your finder and, replace the file to it's original folder.
8-Click on "Reindex Loops" in your Logic loop browser.

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.
