Logic Pro 7.1 – Apple Loops (2005-0905) 10 of 23

Manually Indexing an Apple Loops folder

Step 1 :

• Open the Loop Browser in Logic and keep it visible

• In the Finder, locate the folder with the Apple Loops and drag it over the Loop

Browser

Step 2:

• Logic pops up a dialog window with three options:

Current Location

: the Loop browser wont’ copy or move the Apple Loops,

it will only create an alias of the folder and put it into the location:

“

~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/”

An index file for that folder

will be also created in the location “

~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index/”

Copy to Loops Folder:

copies the folder with the Apple Loops to

“

~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/”

in your home directory if

they are located on a volume different than the boot drive

An index file for that folder will be created in the location

“

~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index/”

in your home directory

Move to Loops Folder:

copies the folder with the Apple Loops to

“

~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/”

in your home directory if

they are located on the boot drive.

An index file for that folder will be created in the location

“

~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index/”

in your home directory

Cancel

: forget the whole thing, don’t do anything

Step 3:

• This step shouldn’t be necessary (maybe a 7.1 bug?). You have to restart Logic in order to see the new Apple Loops folder in the popup

menu (Jam Pack Management). You can however search for the file already.

This is the procedure when you have a folder with Apple Loops already on your drive (internal, external, networked). This could be a …

• … original CD of an Apple Loops Library

• … folder of an Apple Loops Library copied to your drive

• … folder with Apple Loops that you created yourself

Be careful with long file names!

There are some inconsistencies regarding the handling of long file names. OSX can handle them but not Logic, sort of. When you choose:

•

Current Location

: The folder containing the Apple Loops and the Apple Loops themselves can have long file names. The Loop Browser

doesn’t touch the original files, it indexes them and makes an alias to the folder location. The Loop Browser displays the long names in

the “Jam Pack Management” popup menu and in the Results Pane

•

Copy/Move to Loops Folder

: The Loop Browser copies/moves the folder into the Library Apple Loops directory, keeping its long name

(because it’s a Finder action). The Apple Loops however with long names get truncated in the new location and the Loops will be displayed

in the Loop Browser with the short name. This seems to be the 32-character limitation of Logic that kicks in.

Other Indexing Procedures

• Install from a CD.

Most commercial Apple Loops Libraries come on a CD or DVD and the indexing works just by dragging the folder onto the Loop Browser

(manually indexing a folder). All the Jam Pack Libraries from Apple however have an installer, which you have to run. The installer copies the

files into the Apple Loops Folder of the root Library (not the User Library!) and performs the indexing.

• Install through an application installation (GarageBand)

Installing any of Apple’s audio applications (Logic, GarageBand, Soundtrack), will also install some Apple Loops. They also will be place in the

Apple Loops folder of the root Library and not the user Library folder.

• Indexing a single Apple Loop manually

The Loop Browser prompts you with the same dialog window as with the indexing folder procedure: copy or reference the file? This might be

another 7.1 bug

o Current Location: copies the Apple Loop to the Audio Loops Folder (7.1 Bug?)

o Copy/Moves the Loop(s) to the Loops Folder

The location of the single Apple Loop is “

~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/SingleFIles”

and the index file for that folder will be

updated

• Indexing a single Apple Loop from Logic

You can select any audio file region(s) or audio instrument region(s) from Logic, convert it to an Apple Loop and add it to the Loop Browser.

The command is in the local Arrange window menu “

Regions > Add to Apple Loops Library”

Logic pops up a dialog window if you try to index a folder that was already indexed with three options:

• Do not add this folder

• Add folder using a new name

• Replace original with new folder

Apple Loops are on the boot drive

Apple Loops are not on the boot drive
