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.

Changing Chords while recording blue and green loops with Logic Express 9

My question is if it is possible to change Chord of the loops while recording them. Thank you in advance for answering this question

hi,
yes you can.
Global>Chord.
i've found it works OK, within the limits of the ALs.
but, occasionally, it would misbehave and do weird transpositions, wrong octaves,
etc.
this was in LP8, haven't tried it in LP9.

Jam Band for logic express? Drum Fills

Hello, I am working with a Logic 8 instructional video, Jam Band is being used to set up loops and fills. Does anyone know if that was part of logic
express, Also are there any Drum Fills ( can't find them) with Garage band loops or Logic Express, Thanks so much,
Troy

Battery is not a sequencer. It does not store patterns, you have to do that in your Logic track. There are tons of samples arranged in kits from recorded samples to electronic drum kits and even special effects kits.
Reading all of your posts, to be honest Ultrabeat sounds to be exactly what you want. To get that you need to upgrade to Logic Pro.
Do a search Google for "Logic Pro Ultrabeat" you will find info from various sources that will help you decide.
In Ultrabeat you can load sounds, create sounds by synthesis or samples, create patterns then put the pattern directly into a Logic software instrument region

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.

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.

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,

Getting Apple Loops to work with Logic Express 7.01

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.

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 Logical Expressions in ABAP: IF (lt_cond)...

is it possible to have a dynamically constructured logical expression?
I have a condition I need to use in an IF, but I want to avoid hard-coding, so I dynamicallybuild it.
for a simple example:
CONCATENATE ITAB-f1
           'EQ'
           varValue
           INTO lt_cond SEPARATED BY SPACE.
IF (lt_cond).
WRITE:/ 'Success'.
ENDIF.
Is it possible to do this?

I am trying to use the macro to check an IF (cond).
cond is a dynamically constructed condition.
The bold part of my code way below is my problem area.
I'm having no trouble getting COND constructed. But I am having trouble between my macro and the processing as my error always tells me I'm calling my macro without 2 actual parameters. Or when I DEFINE my macro with &1 instead of &1 &2, I get 'incorrect logical expression'.
I've read all the documentation I can find on this, but i still cannot figure out why my macro is not processing.
Code is lengthy, but if you can, please help.
I'm anticipating the output to be 'FAILURE' at this point. I just want the condition COND to be processed.

Logical expression( = , =, , ) in read statement

Hi All,
Is it possible to use the logical expressions like (<= , >=, <, >) in the read statement?

While you can only use "=" with the READ statement, you can use the READ statement to position the cursor at the first record you want and then use the LOOP with your operators to get only those records you want (assuming standard tables that have been correctly sorted). This can be very efficient.
There have been many discussion about this in the forums. Please search and you'll see them.

Loops in Logic?

Hi,
I am a garage band user and I am considering upgrading to Logic 8. I use the loops in garage band a lot, but on the product page for Logic 8 there is no mention of any loops capabilities or any loops being included with the software. Meanwhile I noticed that Logic 8 requires 6GB of space or something, so I can't imagine that loops are not included.
Can any of you owners let me know what is included?
Thanks.

To know what is included you can read it on Logic Express Tech Spec:
http://www.apple.com/logicexpress/specs/
About Loops you can read this page

Can i open mp3 in logic express?

I want to make a remix of a track by cutting samples form it and looping certain bits etc.... is this possible in logic express?

Hi,
Can i open mp3 in logic express?
When you import an MP3 file, Logic converts it into an AIFF file.
(Logic does this because many functions, such as waveform display, sample accurate editing, and so on, would overtax the CPU if Logic had to constantly decode and re-encode the MP3 files in real time for each change or edit.)
I want to make a remix of a track by cutting samples from it and looping certain bits etc.... is this possible in logic express?
Yes.
