Jam Packs in Logic 8

I seem to having a problem loading some apple loops into the arrange screen in Logic 8. Sometimes it lets me load a few in, but in the case of most of them, i'm having no luck!
Whenever I try and drag an apple loop into the arrange screen, it just bounces back into the loop browser.
I have had no problems dragging the same loops into Logic 7.
Any ideas anyone?

I'm having the same kind of problem. It is normal when you drag an instrument loop in a audio track that it confirms it in a audio file.
But, for me, when I drag instrument loop in a empty instrument track, the channel strip loads correctly but it plays weird sounds ... It will convert as audio files correctly.
I'm on 8.0.1
Thanks

Final Cut Studio 2 Apple Loops, Jam Packs and Logic express 8 installation?

Hi(Bonjour)!
I've currently use Final Cut Studio 2 +Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2+ application with all included Apple Loops.
I own several Jam Pack Apple Loops packages (with a less than impressive integration with Garage Band for older one).
I purchased Logic Express 8 pro today.
Is there more Apple Loops files included with Logic express 8 than with Soundtrack Pro 2?
What is the best way to install Logic express 8 Apple Loops to avoid duplicate loops files?
Thank You.
Michel Boissonneault

Well, the installation was very simple, no duplicate files and tight integration of GarageBand loops and JamPacks.

Can I use my old Garageband Jam Packs with Logic Pro X?

I'm in the process of moving all of my Logic X Library content to an external hard drive and it occurred to me that I still have 4 GarageBand Jam Packs that I might be able to use in Logic X. Does anyone know if there is any real difference in the loop content of the Jam Packs and the loops that are on Logic X ? Has anyone tried this and made any kind of comparison? Just wondering. Thanks.

When you download all the additional content from within Logic Pro X.. any jam packs you are missing are then installed during that process... but if you already have them all installed the LPX additional content installer will find them and set them up for use in LPX.
The content of the Jam packs are identical....

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 Packs and "Garageband Instruments" when reinstalling Logic?

What's the proper procedure when it comes to Jam Packs and 3rd party Apple Loops libraries when reinstalling Logic and OS X?
I'm keeping my Apple Loops on a separate drive and know that I can just drag them to the Loop Browser after reinstalling Logic. However, by doing so, I don't think I'll be getting the "Garageband Instruments" that are installed with the Jam Packs and some 3rd party Apple Loops libraries. Is that correct? If so, what's the best way to deal with this? Always installing all Apple Loops from the disks or perhaps saving a folder (which one?) with the Garageband Instruments before re-installing OS X?
When I last installed Logic, and told the installer to install the Jam Packs on an external drive, they were still installed on the system drive! Does anyone know why? Now what's the best way to move the Apple Loops? What I've done in the past is installing them to their default location, and then creating an alias in Home:Library:Audio:Apple Loops folder that points to the new location on the external drive. Is that the way to go or is another way better?
Any input or help would be greatly appreciated.

Jam packs consist of two types of content. Loop content will go to where you choose to install it (an external drive if you wish). Instrument content has to go to the GB library, for a number of reasons, and the GB library will be on your system disk under Application Support/Garageband.
So backup your GB library in addition to your Logic related stuff.
It is possible to move much (but not all) of the heavy Instrument content to an external drive too, but there are gotchas with this.

Installing Logic Pro after Garagband Jam Packs, etc. Duplicate files?

I just purchased Logic Studio 9, and I am about to install it. I also have Garageband, and various Jam Packs installed. I know that Logic uses some of the same files, but I'm concerned that I will have duplicate files taking up premium disk space. Will the Logic installation overwrite the previously installed audio files/loops that were included in the Jam Packs, or will I have duplicate files?

Can you expand or qualify that response a bit. It would be appreciated. Thank you!

How do you add Jam Packs to the Logic Express 8 Loop Library?

I'm new to both Logic Express and Jam Packs. I just installed the new Voices Jam Pack and it is installed in the audio folder in my user library but it isn't recognized by logic, since the loops don't show up in the loop browser. I do not know how to add them to my loop library so if anybody knows how to add them I would greatly appreciate any advice. Also, when I installed logic express, my garageband loop library disappeared; is this just because all the loops were converted to a new format for logic to use?

Simply drag & drop your Voices Jam Pack folder into the LE8 loops browser and they will be indexed and added to the library. See page 644 in the manual for more information.
Re: GarageBand loops, you can check your HD/Library/Audio and your ~/Libray/Audio for all your Apple loops to make sure you still have your GB loops in either .aif or .caf formats. I still have both versions on my iMac, but if I remember correctly, when I installed LE8 I created a new folder for Apple loops in order to preserve my originals. Once you find your GB loops, try dragging & dropping them into GB's loop browser. If their format was changed perhaps GB just needs you to point to them.

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.

I installed logic studio 9 but it says error when i install the jam pack content

The apple site says that logic 9 comes with six jam packs, but I only see 2 in the tab entitled "library." These are Jam Pack Voices and Jam Pack World Music and when I only put any of the jam pack Content Cd's (that come with logic studio) and click on the cd all it has on it is a text edit file. Is it a corrupted cd? I have seen other posts about it but no definite solution. any possible ideas? Thank You!

Hi
Something is not quite right here:
I have the original Studio 2 disks here, and the installer runs fine under OSX.8.3. It will install Logic Pro 9.0.0, which can then be updated by downloading the 9.1.7 or 9.1.8 updater from Apple Downloads.
On your system, the installer refuses to run, or does the install proceed, but you are unable to update Logic so that it will work on Mountain Lion?

Restoring Logic 9 Jam Packs from Time Machine

Hi There,
I have recently done a clean install of Mac OSX 10.7.5 after upgrading from 10.6.8 made my 2009 macbook pro disasterously slow.
Before doing the clean install I did a Time Machine Backup.
I have now installed Logic 9 onto my Mac only to discover I no longer have the additional Jam Pack / Audio Content discs.
I have located the content in my time machine backup in /Library/Audio/
But when attempting to do the restore I get the error msg "can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X."
Can anyone advise how I can recover the additional logic content from my time machine backup?
Thanks,

When you install the additional content in LPX.. any content that already exists in LP9 is merged with your LPX content so all you end up with is extra content and not duplicate content....

Need 2 install Logic Studio 9 Audio content & Jam Packs?

Have Logic Studio 9: didn't have enough space to download extras originally (i.e., Audio Content & Jam Packs). Have now upgraded to 500 Gb HD for 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro and have tried to install Logic Studio again (The logic Pro; Logic Node; MainStage; and WaveBurner seem to have installed OK - at least they show up in Applications folder) When it comes to installing Studio Content the Studio Content disk install process gets hung up at the end of the downloading. A message window pops up saying: The installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. The Logic Studio software is registered to me and has a Support ID: I6941D2H41H. It is frustratingly difficult to find anywhere that I can contact tech support related to this Logic Studio issue. I would simply like to be able to get the included Audio Content and the Jam Packs from the Logic Studio Suite installed on my MacBook Pro. I would appreciate some response and help to be able to get the application data so that I can fully install the whole Apple Logic Studio program ASAP. A further suggestion is that a means of contacting support for such related issues be instituted. Anyone know how to get the corrupted Audio Content & Jam Packs for downloading?

Firstly you are Not addressing Apple here... This is a User to User Forum...
That said... Give Apple Care a Call... Tell them you are a Logic Pro User and you should be transferred to a Logic Expert...
Explain your situation to them...
Make sure you have your Serial Number and Date of Purchase handy...

Question about Garageband Vocal Jam Pack Compatiability with Logic Pro 8

I recently purchased Logic Pro 8 and I was wondering if there is any way to I can use my Garageband 09 Jam Pack: Voices in Logic. When I select the loops tab and select show all only "Garageband and Jam Pack Remix Tools shows up, not my jam Pack Vocals.
Thanks for helping me out.

First, thanks for helping me out with my situation, its much appreciated.
Now, I checked the support page that you told me about, however, that didn't fix my problem. There is nothing grayed out. I tried to re-install my Garageband Voices and it still didn't fix the problem.
On Logic when I select the "Loops" tap and select the View drop down box, the only options listed is Garageband and Jam Pack remix Tools. Jam pack Voices still isn't showing up.
On the other hand when I open Garageband and click the "loops" drop down menu; the following is listed, Garageband, jam Pack Remix Tools and jam pack Voices.
I have no clue whats going on. By the way I have Garageband 09 and Logic Pro 8

Problem with logic pro 7 & jam pack

Hello,
first sorry me for my english....but I need help
I'v a big problem with my jam pack.
1/
when I want to hear some loop with the navigator loop, the sound is deformed like with a tremolo and a reverb...
when I take a midi loop and I put it on my arrangement the sounds is ok
It makes the research of loop very difficult(it does'nt sound right).
2/
I've the same problem in the navigator loop with the audio loop.
But when I put it in my arrangement the sound isn't ok (deformed, tremolo...)
On the other hand the deformation disappears when I put a faster tempo
(around 100 bpm)
Precision; my arrangement is at 50 bpm
Thank you so much for your help

hi, you are play the loop back too slow.
there's a limit to how far a loop may be slowed down.
apple loops are generally played back via the last audio channel available, whether you are using in your song or not.
check this channel to see if it has effects inserted or is using the bus sends. if so, switch these off to hear your loops properly.

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.

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
