Opening garageband projects in LE and Apple Loops

I know I have to set the key of the song when I start a new Garageband project but the problem I'm having is that most of my songs don't stay in that particular key(I usually just set it to C). How can I get the loop browser to ignore the key and play the loops in their original key when I'm browsing? Is this possible by opening the GB project in Logic Express? Does the Logic Express loop browser ignore or have the ability to ignore whatever key the original GB project was in?

Hi Joey,
I don't think so,
I believe the only way you have is to transposit
once it's add to the arrange window.
the best you can do while browsing loops is search by key.
Cheers,
Jorge

Garageband Instruments and Apple Loops 1.0 update keeps repeating

I have OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 and Garageband 10.0.3. The auto update for Instruments and Apple Loops 1.0 appears and runs as an available update on a daily basis despite the fact that it has previously updated Garageband. Help please.

Paul,
I think what is happening is, that the update you are trying to install is meant for the new Mavericks compatable version of GarageBand - GarageBand 10.0. When the download finishes, it cannot be installed properly, because GarageBand 10.0 is not present. With GB 10 installed, these instruments download with no problem on my mac.
GB 10.0 is free on Mavericks - so, honestly, download and install GB 10.0 in addition to your current version. Let it download and install additional instruments and loops, launch it once to let it rebuild the loop index, then ignore it. The application does not need much space, and perhaps you may want to use occasionally the automatic drummer or the Arpeggiator. Before downloading GB10.0, make a backup copy of GB '09, just in case the installer should try to overwrite it.
After GB 10 installed the additional instruments, search for all places with installed loops in the system library and rebuild your loop index.

MIDI Banks and Apple Loops Trustworthy Downloads?

I am currently attempting to locate and download MIDI banks and Apple Loops that I can use in the future, but I'm looking for a trustworthy site (a one stop shop if you will) to do this. If we only have Garageband installed, and not Pro Logic or any other programs, then is Garageband the only program to open up and play around with our MIDI banks or Apple Loops just for fun? I mean, is there another way we can open our loops simply to play around with and be able to pick out sounds we like, then perhaps save different sounds we like for future reference? I'm confused on how to actually open the loops and MIDI banks, so I need someone to tell me precisely how to do this if we just want to begin exploring. Thanks!

You can open Apple Loops in the Quicktime Player. Many sample producers offer their libraries in Apple Loops format as well as the more traditional standard WAV nowadays, so you should have no trouble finding plenty of resources.
Quicktime Player will also play GM MIDI files.

Opening GarageBand project in Logic Express 9.

Just loaded Logic Express 9. Trying to open GarageBand project I get "Sorry, can't load this project because it is created by a newer Logic Express version. Please update Logic Express." I was under the impression that any GB project could be opened in LE9. Any suggestions?

You don't specify but have you updated LE to v.9.1.7?
Sometimes Logic can be a little picky as to how you open the song file, so if one method doesn't work, try another. For example:
1) Drag the GB file onto the LE icon.
2) Right-click on the GB file and choose "open with Logic Express."
3) Select the GB file from Logic's Browser tab in the Media window on the right.
I'm assuming that you already tried File>Open from the LE menu bar.
Once you do manage to open your GB file inside LE you will be required to save it as a Logic file.

I can't update Instuments and Apple Loops

I don't know what is going on here with the Garageband update "Instruments and Apple Loops".
Everytime when I try to install I got this error below:
"The update “GarageBand Instruments and Apple Loops” can’t be installed.
The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs."
I tried many times and no sucess.
I tried to repair the HD and permissions and still nothing.
This only occurs with this update, the others work fine.
I search the forum for same problem and I found a lot of treads tell to choose the third option ( install from DVD) but I dont have this option here in my Garageband. When I click in a instrument the garageband show me a window with two options. "Download Now" or "Download Later".
Any suggestion ??
Thanks

Why can't I open Garageband projects?

Ever since getting my new Macbook Pro, I've had problems opening Garageband projects. I don't know if this is a permissions issue, something funky with the account that I migrated from my old Macbook or what. I can't even create a new project without getting the error message "The file couldn't be opened."

Okay, I fumbled around and fixed it. I had previously gone into system preferences/ file sharing and changed all user accounts to everyone read and write. That didn't help. I just went in to the hard drive and right clicked my user folder, clicked get info and changed the setting to everyone read and write. Then I went into applications directly on the hard drive, clicked on GarageBand and did the same thing. Now my projects are opening. I'm not sure which one fixed it but it's working. I hope this helps anyone else having this problem.

Opening garageband projects in logic

opening garageband projects in logic seems to be a very simple procedure, however im having some difficulties.
I've tried to open all my garageband projects in logic pro 7, but none are working. I get a message saying "Damaged song, or not a Logic Express Song"
I dont know how to go around this message, because its not letting me open any.
Can someone help me with this?

im using logic pro 7 and my garageband is version 3
I have been looking through the "logic for garageband users" manual, but the process goes a lot smoother in the manual. I actually got the idea from there to open the garageband projects in logic. It just tells me how to do it, but it didn't address any troubleshooting issues with opening them.

I just upgraded from Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?

I just upgraded from Logic Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. I now want projects to open in Pro. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?

Well, when I've done things like that it always sems like a good idea to keep an application that you know the file will definitely open in...

What are: LiveType Media 1 & 2 - And Apple Loops?

Hello Hello
I just bought and installed the 'FCE HD Version 3.5' Upgrade - looks nice
Apple bundled with it, 'LiveType Media 1 & 2' - And 'Apple Loops'.
Before I install these programs, can you guys give me a brief description of what these programs do you for?
Why do I ask?
Well, I already have Sound Studio 2.2.4, and iLife 6. I just didn't want to install these new programs until I can find out if they're really worth it?
I guess the 'Apple Loops' will add some addtional sound effects to my Garage Band Sound Effects Library?
Thank you my friends
Mike

Hi Tom
Thanx so much for replying to my questions
Yes I see what happened - I 'UNCHECKED' those applications when I installed FCE HD, because I wanted to ask you guys about it's usefulness first. So I'd have to go back and re-insert the install disc to install them. But that's ok..
Tom - could you please tell me a little more about what 'Sond Track' offers?
I mean, can you do the same things that you can do in Garage Band?
EQ, Effects, Presets etc... ?
And are there any cool sound effects on that Apple LOOP Disc? Like the ones that Garage Band gives you?
Thanx Tom

Updating GB 4.1.2 and Apple Loops

Updating GB 4.1.2 and Loops
Most of the apple loops are missing from my Garage Band which came with a new MacMini. When I clicked Software Update - the Garageband updates showed a lot of apple loops, etc included. However, when I started to download it said it would take 4 HOURS! Is this normal for DSL?? Is there a way I can just get some of the loops and whatever necessary "bug fixes" there are, without downloading 4 hours??
Is there a way to edit the existing loops and saving them?? How?? I tried to put a loop into the screen that shows waveforms, but cannot figure how to cut it (say from 8 measures 4) and then save to a file. When I found some loops outside GB, they appeared to be all in QuickTime format, which would not open in GB. I'm really confused.
Does GB open WAV files??

For the first part you need to use the DVD option to download the loops: http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/NoLoops.html

Can't open Garageband project, please help

I was using a Mac Mini, 10.7.5, and recorded some vocal tracks on Garageband 11. I clicked gospel choir vocal effect at first, and it was fine. When I wanted to try another effect by clicking another one, the application quit. When I tried to open the project again, the initializing window popped up, and a few seconds after, it said something like "Garageband quit unexpectedly, do you want to reopen to restore the windows". When I clicked "reopen", it directed me back to Garageband recent project page without opening the project I was working on. I tried to open other projects I worked on previously, and those could be opened; just not the one that I worked on recently.
I didn't back up anything with the Time Machine because I never used it before, didn't know how to use it.
I just saved the project to my USB drive, deleted the one on the Mac Mini, deleted Garageband, updated to iOS10.9 something, reinstalled the newest version of Garageband, tried to open the project from the USB drive, failed again.
When I open the "show package content", some mp3 files of my recorded vocals are there. I don't think all of what I recorded are there, but some.
Please help.
Thanks!

Opening Garageband Project In Logic Express

I have successfully opened / saved a garageband project in Logic Express and everything seems to have come over fine. In the arrange window, the 'Input' button is highlighted on many tracks (the button next to mute, solo, etc.). Should the 'Input' be selected or de-slected? It seems like its automatically sending it to a Bus. Any suggestions / basic ground rules?

Well, the Input monitoring button activated live input monitoring. So, if it is activated (and you have selected input monitoring in the preferences, of course), Logic will pick up any audio signal coming in via the selected inputs and feeds it into the channelstrip, even if it's not running. You can also play along without recording. Recording, however, activates monitoring either way.
Maybe you have an open mic, which might produce feedback or other disturbing noises. Turn off input monitoring (and disarm record, of course) to mute the live input monitoring.
Basically, only the channels you need to hear should have Input monitoring activated.

Opening Garageband Projects in Logic-Question

When I open a garageband project in Logic 8, most of the audio tracks won't have sound, and when I create new audio tracks in those same projects, they also often don't have sound.
It seems random which tracks don't work and which do. And doubling tracks that are functioning right usually doesn't work.
All other kind of tracks (software inst., ext. midi, etc.) work.
Any idea what's wrong?
I looked through the discussions and couldn't find an answer- sorry if it's been asked.
Thanks in advance for any help...

Make sure the correct output is assigned to the audio tracks.
