Logic Express 9 - missing loops

I've recently installed LE 9.1.8 on a new Mac mini (2.3 GHz core i7, OS X 10.9.3) and can't get Apple loops to work. The loops are there in Library/Audio/Apple Loops just like they should be, and Garage Band loops appear in GB. But in LE, nothing. I'm pretty sure they were there when I first installed the application, but the first time I went to browse the loops, everything was greyed out. Now, each time I launch LE I get a message that no Apple Loops were found and I should reinstall them.
I've read a lot of posts on Apple Support, and tried all the suggestions. Dragged my loops folder into the loops browser: asks for my admin password and looks like something is happening, but loops still don't appear. (Tried that lots of times.) Reindexed from within the loops browser: nada. Used Disk Utility to repair permissions on the disk - no result. Reset permissions manually in Finder: ditto. Forced Spotlight to reindex the loops folder: no effect. Reinstalled Logic Express: no change.
Don't know if it's relevant, but this is a reinstallation on a different machine. I had LE on a MacBook that was stolen, and I've installed from the same DVD on a new machine bought to replace the lost one.
I'm kind of stuck for what to do next. Anyone out there know a trick that works when all the above has failed?

After a bit more searching I found a solution. I copied my Apple loops folder to a different hard drive, then dragged *that* folder into the loops browser in LE. This time it worked. Don't understand why it should be so, but it looks like it is a permissions problem.

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.

Apple Pro Training Series: Logic Pro 8 and Logic Express 8 - Loops on the C

The CD that comes with has loops on it that you have to load into Logic Express. That is fine, but some of the loops are already present in Logic, thus now I have two sets of the same loops. For example, the listing in Guitar will show:
Southern Rock 01
Southern Rock 01
Southern Rock 02
Southern Rock 02
Not a huge deal but I would like to get the duplicate loops out and make sure I select the right ones to delete (the ones from the CD, not the ones drom Logic)
Has anyone come across this yet?

Have a look here: Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for GarageBand
Use sorting by date to find files which were copied there recently. This may help.

Every second G-note is missed by Logic Express

Hi,
I have really strange problem: logic express misses every second G-note (two octaves down from middle-C) that I press from MIDI-keyboard. It also misses all G-notes if I press something before the G-note.
This is not a keyboard problem: I have found same issue with two different keyboards and three different USB-midi-inputs. Neither it's hardware problem, I can switch octave from keyboard and it still happends. When I try "test midi" from OS X, I hear every note coming in to my mac, but every second G-note is missed by Logic. It's clearly something inside Logic Express since OS X receives the notes from keyboards all the time.
I have newest update for Logic Express and all OS X updates up to date.
Any ideas?

Hi there,
Just to make sure, download this:
http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/
Then check on the keyboard to make sure that it's producing what you expect.
Next, have you reassigned that key to a Logic Express key command? Or perhaps to another programme somewhere?
You could always try reseting the key commands, assuming you haven't set up lots of custom ones.
Open up the Environment (Command-8) and look at the the Clicks and Ports layer. There's a diagnostic tool in there that shows you what notes are coming in to Logic. That doesn't necessarily means what notes are going to the sequencer since you can filter notes out in the environment.
I'd also have a look at the Transform Window to see whether there's something wrong in that.
Sorry not to give you detailed instructions for all of these different actions - this post would be pages long so have a look in the manual and see if you can't figure out some of these advanced functions.

Logic Express or Digital Performer 5?

Recently swtiched from PC to Mac, and looking for a new DAW software. Was using Cakewalk. I can get DP5 for $350 with the competitive upgrade. Trying to decided if that or Logic Express would be best. Anyone familiar with both? Why did you choose L.E.?
THANKS!

It depends of what you need. Basically, if you plan to work mainly with soft synths, you're probably better with Logic. If you plan to work mainly with audio, I'd choose DP. DP is easier to learn but it's a CPU hog. Logic Express misses some routing options and is limited to 12 simultaneous inputs. DP is probably more Cakewalk-like than Logic.

Garageband and Logic Express 7.2.. HELP ME!

Hello,
I have had my secondhand mac for a week. It came with Garageband08 and I have just bought Logic Express 7.2 to have some fun with
Needless to say I am completely new to this ans have a few problems..
Can anyone please tell me how I get Garageband to recognize the Apple Loops/Jam Packs that came with Logic Express as they don't seem to pull though in the Virtual Instrument browser or the Apple Loops
Also, even before I bought Logic Express some loops seem to be duplicated. I guess this means they are stored in two different folders - where is the best place to store them (and which folder should I look to delete)
Plus.. when I pull up the loop browser it says I have 600 odd loops, but the scroll down box shows barely half that amount?
Lastly, I have a few Prosamples cd's - where do I store these so they pull through into Apple Loops (this may help the problem above)
Any and all advice given to this newbie would be REALLY APPRECIATED!!

Can anyone give me a few pointer on how to rewire
ableton with le7.2??
The problem i have is that rewire DOES show up in the
environment page, but i just dont know where to start
from there. I always get intimmidated by that
environment thing in logic.
First, you don't need to do anything with the Environment if you don't need to send MIDI TO Live. If all you want is to get audio FROM Live, follow these instructions:
1. Create a new track in the Arrange window. You should be given the option to create a ReWire track. If so, select it. Your new track appears in the arrange.
2. In the parameters window on the left of screen, you'll see a value called "Channel". Click and hold, then select "Audio", then "Rewire", then "Ableton Live", then "Mix L/R"
3. Now launch Live. Any audio you play should be piped into Logic via the channel you created.
If you need to control Live via MIDI from Logic, all you need to do is create a Rewire object in the Environment, call it "Live", and change the "Device" parameter (again in the parameters box on the left of the screen) to "Live" and change the "Bus" parameter to whatever device you want to control within Live (or Reason, or any other Rewire slave). This is detailed on page 238-239 of the Logic Pro manual, which is available here (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/LogicPro7_ReferenceManual.pdf).
Sorry that I'm not in front of Logic at the moment, and some of the names of things might be slightly different. But this should get you started.

Loops in Logic Express

First of all I best say that I am new to Logic Express and Garageband, in fact the Mac thing so forgive the basic nature of this post. I have had some funny goings on with my mac since a failed software install so I decided to rebuild everything including the OS. Having re-installed Garageband and Logic Express I find most of the loops are missing. Some are there but all drum loops and others have gone. I tried to look up options to see if there is a tick box to install them but nothing. If I look in library, the loop directory is also missing. Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks
Tetleyted

Thanks for the reply. took a look but the directory structure as follows: HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops (Apple doesn't exist. I have a feeling that garageband and Logic Express hasn't completed the install. I have tried to re-run it but the same thing happened - no loops. Any suggestions welcomed.

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.

Why are there missing samples in Logic Express 9

There are missing samples in Logic Express 9. All the pop horn samples and some of the string samples as well as some others. How do I get them back?

That is a great suggestion. I DO have garageband installed also. When looking into the library there, I have a Sampler Instruments folder, in that is a few instuments (ie Grand Piano.exs, Hip Hop Kit.exs, Muted Electric Bass.exs, Rock Kit.exs, Steel String Acoustic.exs, Upright Jazz Bass.exs) and ANOTHER Sampler Instruments folder. And in that one, is ANOTHER Sampler Instruments folder, and that one is empty. Not sure if my screen grab will come through for you to see.
So there is not much sitting in the Garageband Samper Instruments at all. And the mysterious multiple Sampler Instruments folder train.

Logic Express 9 and and Boss RC-30 looping pedal--incompatible?

I recently purchased both Logic Express and a Roland Boss guitar looping pedal, hoping to use Logic Express to create/edit loops for the pedal. But when I tryto import them to the pedal (via USB), I get an error message of "unplayable file". The manual for the looping pedal states that the wav files must be in the format wav, 16-bit linear, stereo, with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. I am able to match all of those in the "Bounce" export dialog, except I don't see an option for linear--only "interleaved" or "split". And I'm not sure how to tell if I'm exporting a mono or a stereo track, but I think that since my signal goes on both sides of the line in the arranger window, that it is stereo. Has anyone been able to get this to work? I'm thinking the issue is that I need a linear rather than an interleaved file.

Have been really busy, but finally tried your suggestion. Logic Express seems to be able to export WAV files only as interleaved or split into two tracks. My Roland/Boss looping pedal says "unreadable file" for both flavors. After much experimenting, I did finally find something that will work. I have to first export my file as a 16 bit (interleaved) stereo WAV file from Logic Express. Then I have to open the file in Audacity, and re-export it as what Audacity calls a 16 bit Microsoft WAV file. Then my pedal reads the file just fine. I'm disappointed that Logic Express won't export a file that is readable by the pedal, but at least I found a work-around.

Logic Express quits when try to use loop browser

Hi, just installed Logic Express 7. Went to use the loop browser - selected a genre and then I get a message saying the program has unexpectedly quit.
Any ideas please?
Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,
I believe that happen to me once.
After I download the 7.0.1 free update and repair permissions, never had the problem again. It's always adviseable to repair permissions after software installs. I presume you know how to do it. Anyway, restart from your system DVD, it's there.
I hope this helps.
regards,
Jorge

Getting Apple Loops to work with Logic Express 7.01

i have logic express 7.0.1 and loads of apple loops. Cant get them to appear in the loop browser in Logic express. Can anybody please help?

Drag and drop the folders into the loop browser.

Logic express says I don't have any loops installed. Ideas?

I am new to this program. I want to use some loops, but logic is saying I have none installed. Any ideas on where they might be? I reloaded the content DVD and installed the package.

Do a search for this folder: "Apple Loops Index".
There will likely be more than one, although only one folder probably has all your Indexed Loops.
So, when you find the one with the "Search Index..." files, delete them.
Then, open a project in Logic, open the Loops Browser, and drag those Loops folders you have onto the Loops Browser.
Wait for it to index them, and you should be good to go.

Dynamic logic expression

Hi Experts,
Iu2019m trying to build a routine with dynamic logical expressions but it's now working...
Basically Iu2019m building a string with the expression, a and after the string it's completed Iu2019m calling a macro that consist in a if.
if expression eq true
return true value
but the value returned by the macro it's always false, even when the logical expression it's true...
i already tried the logical function BOOLC but apparently my version, ECC 6, doesnu2019t recognize it....
Below goes the code, if anyone could help me Iu2019ll be appreciated.
"Macro definition
DEFINE check_condition.
IF &1 EQ ABAP_TRUE.
    move 'X' to &2.
endif.
END-OF-DEFINITION.
LOOP AT tab_regras."Rules
    CLEAR: str_cond, lv_result.
    LOOP AT dfies_tab WHERE fieldname CS 'ARGUMENTO'.
      CLEAR: lw_string, str_1, str_2, str_3.

    ENDLOOP.
    check_condition str_cond lv_result.
    CHECK lv_result EQ 'X'.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards
João Martins

It would be helpful if you show us what is the example content of str_cond .
Anyhow your check looks like you want to compare some condition with value X which abap_true denotes i.e.
if field_1 = 10 and field_2 = 20 EQ 'X'.
endif.
This doesn't make sense for me or maybe I am missing something which is hidden behid this str_cond . Your left hand side expression value must however be equal to right hand side value. So the conditon will only be true if
if 'X' = 'X'.
endif.
Regards
Marcin
PS: please note that in ABAP there is no real boolean value, so you can't have condition like in JAVA or C
if (true_condition)
//do something
you always have to compare two values (here abap_true which is X if fact).

Logic Express 9 and moving factory content...?

Hello everyone, I know this has probably been asked before but I can't seem to find any posts on it.
Is it possible to move the sample audio files installed with Logic Express 9 to an external hard drive? I'm basically running out of space on my main drive, quickly. I can't locate the files anywhere on the hard drive and I'm going bonkers trying to find them. I thought you could move them onto another drive and then re-index them inside Logic.
Any response is greatly appreciated,
-Jason

Basically, they are in the Garageband loop folder - that's the tricky thing about them
Go to *(system HD)/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for GarageBand*
that's where these little nuisances are.
Make a backup (time machine) in case something doesn't work out as it should, then:
Move them to an external HD, then re-index the loop browser to clear it of the missing loops,
grab the folder where they are on the external HD and drag&drop it onto the Loop browser in Logic to re-index them. Done. If you are missing loops afterwards, you didn't drag&drop all of them onto the loop browser. Check twice.
