When I Drag Loops To The Loop Browser...

All my loops are in the folder /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops. I dragged them over from the finder to the loop browser in GB, and it looks like it copied all of them to another folder user/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/GarageBand/Apple Loops. ***?! What a mouthful. Is this the new default location for all of my loops? Can I change that? Can I erase the Application Support/Garageband folder now? I would like to reclaim the 12+ GB of space.

As far as I can make out GB needs to store your loops in both Application Support and Audio. The Application Support/GB folder also contains other resources, such as software instruments and channel presets etc., so DON'T DELETE IT!!
In the Audio folder the GB loops will normally be stored in Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for GarageBand, not in the User Loops Folder. When you dragged them to the browser, GB thought they were a new set of loops and put them in User Loops; so as long as they are still in Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for GarageBand, go ahead and delete them from the User Loops folder. Like I said above, GB seems to store the loops in two locations by default (no Idea why), and I think it's best not to screw around with stuff in the Library under OSX.
BTW, why did you drag them to the browser in the first place? Had they not appeared there when you installed?

    Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

    Here's the short-cut solution:
    Green Apple tracks are MIDI files (so to speak). If you drag one from the loop browser (Capitol C Orchestral hit, as you mentioned in this exable) directly into the arrange page it creates the MIDI file and the instrument to play it back on.
    HOWEVER.If you create and audio track first, THEN drag the green Apple loop onto that track, the loop will get "bounced" with the reverb in tact and you'll have the exact sound that you heard in the preview.
    Make sense?

  • Adding loops to the loop browser.

    I'm using mac os 10.4.11. I have placed all my loops on an external hard drive.
    1) Are only apple loops allowed to be added or aiff loops in general as well?
    2) when adding loops to the loop browser should one add an entire folder if they are in a folder or just the files within a folder? I added a folder of flutes but can not find flutes anywhere in the loop browser file list.
    3) As I didn't want the loops within the jam pack voices, and rhythm section installer packages to be added to garageband I removed the loops folders from the packages, and dropped them onto the loop browser. When looking in the jam pack management it shows the rhythm section but not the voices. When I again attempted to drop the voices folder it said it was already there, although I still can't see it.
    4) Once I understand how to do this correctly should I trash the loop browser apple loops index file and re-drop all the loops on the browser again to get everything cataloged correctly?
    Thank you,
    Robert

  • Why clip speed and pitch changes when I drag it from the browser to the timeline ?

    In fcpx when I play the clip in the browser it is fine but when I drag and play the same clip in the time line the audio and video clip speed plays slow....and I can hear that weird wobble sound .....why is this happening.....? Kindly help.

    1)I have already done that but in that timeline also with 25 fps specified the clips are playing slow ,leave aside the hay wire going clips....
    2) when I extract exactly  2 seconds of clip from the browser, almost 48 frames ...the extracted clip in the timeline shows two or three extra frames ...that is may be because of the handles ?or some other issue
    3)but when I make a new project/timeline with 25 frames ....and then add clips it works fine....
    definately issue is with the framerate but I will have to begin from scratch of 300 files ...so do you think this already made and copy pasted sequence should work fine in the new timeline as you said ....as it is not working....and secondly does quality of video suffer  if you bring it down from 25 to 23 frames in that case I will work all over again.......just waiting for your reply ...thank you.

    And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
    Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.

    but it is very slow. i want to avoid this loop inside the loop and i want to implement the same program using read table.. like below..
    Loop at itab.
    Read table itab1 with key ....

    Is it possible? to get multiple records from itab2 using read statement or with READ statement that using CASE Statement or IF statemetnt.

    lt_itab2 is the final table.
    There may be some syntactically errors.
    I have not a system to test it now, please test it.

  • How do I keep FCP from auto-distorting my video when I drag it into the timeline?

    FCP keeps auto distorting my video when I drag it into the timeline. It keeps setting the motion aspect ratio to -12.5, then when I set it to 0 and render, the video has lost significant quality even though I have my motion render settings to: best. I figure it is this motion distort which is ruining my quality on render because the avi from the camera is ridiculously clean and un-pixelated. How do I keep FCP from auto-distorting my video? It makes no sense that it does, because at -12.5 aspect ratio, FCP is creating a letterbox for my video. I just want the video to fill the entire canvas that I chose! There must be a setting somewhere that I have missed, but I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Please help!
    I have a video shot on my Pentax K-r that is 1280x 720p 25fps. When run it in quicktime pro, the inspector affirms this sizing. And in QTpro there is no letterbox present when the original is played.
    In FCP I have the sequence settings at:
    HDTV 720p (16:9) (which is 1280 720)
    Timebase: 25
    I have tried to turn anamorphic on, then off in the clip format settings, and also turn the anamorphic on and off in the sequence settings. No combination seems to correct the problem.
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you,
    ML

    Hi I have done some more digging and found this:
    1) In the bottom left corner of FCPX, click the film reel so that you can see all your projects:
    2) Select the project you are having problems with and then in the inspector window, click on the spanner icon in the lower right side:
    3) Finally a window appears so that you can choose the settings for the video you are using:
    Hope that helps

  • Problem previewing loops in the loop browser in Logic 8

    Loops are only audible when the sequencer is not playing.
    When the sequencer is playing, the selected loop shows it's playing in the loop browser window, but I cannot hear it.
    ANY ANSWERS?
    NOTE:
    All my outputs in logic (including the loop browse strip) are routed to SPDIF OUT as I have a DynAudio digital speaker system.
    Thanks in advance,

    I have found if you wait long enough, you will hear the file begin to play. Sometimes the delay can several seconds. Not acceptable IMO.

  • Student lost ability to audition loops within the loop browser

    Colleagues,
    My students were composing songs using GarageBand 3.0.4 in our Mac Lab.
    Two of my students showed me that, after they'd laid down three or four tracks by dragging loops into the main window, they could no longer get loops to play inside the loop browser. They would click on a loop, and nothing would happen.
    The loop would play once it was clicked and dragged into the window, but it would not play from inside the loop browser.
    Does anyone have any idea what my students might have done that could cause them to be unable to audition loops from within the loop browser?
    Thanks in advance for any insight you might be able to provide.

  • Apple Loops and the Loop Browser

    maybe I'm missing something here, but whenever I save an edited audio file (or loop) with Apple Loops I can never seem to find the same file in the Loop Browser.
    (unless that is how the app is suppose to behave ...)
    I assumed the Loop Browser behaves somewhat like Logic's Project Manager, referencing and finding files that are associated with Logic Sessions.
    Long story shot, how can i save my edited Apple Loop files and still find them using the Loop Browser
    Thanks.

    The additional content is not just the loops. It is also all the samples for the instruments etc.
    You are correct, however, in the method of moving the loops.

  • 3rd Part Loops in the Loop Browser

    Hello all!
    I purchased a bunch of M-Audio percussion loops and installed them (or thought I did). Only I set of loops is listed in the loop browser drop down menu ant it's only listing 2 loops! I found 2 other folders of loops in my home folder/audio/user loops folder. They appear to be incomplete as well and they DO NOT show up in the loop browser menu in GB or Logic. I e-mailed M-Audio about it and they say that there might be multiple locations for these loops depending on what version of GB I'm using (3).
    Anyway, what do I do now? Should I trash the loops in the user folder and then try a reinstall? If I do, can I put them in some other folder that GB can access from within GB?
    Thanks,
    Paul

  • I can't find converted apple loops in the loop browser within Logic pro 7

    Hello There.
    I've cereated some apple loops with the apple loops utility. unfortunately I am unable to find them in the loop browser within Logic pro 7.2.1.
    I've scaned them using the project manager " so Logic knows about them"
    but still didn't reflect in the loop browser.
    Is this the normal behavior or what am I doing wrong.
    I hope I am doing something wrong, as to me the main feature of the loop browser is to be able to audition the loops quckly at the song tempo.
    Thanks a lot in advance
    Cheers
