Apple Loop Indexes
Tuesday, August 17 2004 @ 10:04 AM CDT
I recently downloaded the free Access Virus C loops for Garageaband and great they are. The download includes about 14 loops and after following the directions (drag folder to Loop Browser), I can only find 5 loops in window. I think it's a problem with the Apple Loops index file that's included in the download. Anyone got an idea?

Loops contain index information but there isn't a discrete loop index file that comes with any collection of loops. In any case, you may find that loops you've just added will not appear until you restart GB.

I also learnt from this forum that certain loops don't appear unless in a certain 'key'
Eg; such as Slide Guitars show up under key of 'G' -Cheers! Restarting GB should also help too! - But I saw my D.O.D. right after importing. In General, Music should be "Always Different", Like People. |

I wish GB had a thing like iPhoto has "Last Roll". Maybe a "New Loops" button. Hey I'm gonna add that to the other thread.
The only surefire way of finding them is to remember their names and doing a search (remember to reset first). If that don't work, then, yeah, something's up. My Wife Revealed |

Here's the files I'm referring to. In the folder LibraryApplication SupportGaragebandApple Loops Index, there are files beginning with the name Search Index... and then a unique identifyer. There is quite a large one there that upon opening you can make out the names of every loop (.aif file) in the basic Garageband package. After bringing in the Virus Loops, I noticed that a new file was now created which contained the references to these Virus loops. This was the file in question. However, the comment about the Loops in certain keys is a thought which I'll look into. I know I did select a key before trying to add those loops. One is a really nice Arpeggiator.
