GarageBand '11: Upgrade your instruments for free I've been writing and playing music for a number of years and lately have been using Apple's GarageBand to capture my writing ideas. It's certainly not a fully fledged DAW, but I've found it to be more than adequate for getting an idea fleshed out to a demo quality recording. “GarageBand and the original Jam Pack made it possible for anyone, regardless of their musical background, to easily create great sounding music on their Mac”, said Rob Schoeben, Apple's vice president of Applications Marketing. “With these two new Jam Packs, musicians and aspiring musicians can delve deeper into their favourite genre. 11% 2 star 11% 1 star 11%. I use Garage Band all the time and have all of the Jam Packs that are available for it. I decided to get the Expansion Pack because I felt that Garage Band lacked some real time Instruments. This set of instruments for garage band are a lot less defined than the ones that come free with garageband. GarageBand is a fully equipped music creation studio right inside your Mac — with a complete sound library that includes instruments, presets for guitar and voice, and an incredible selection of session drummers and percussionists. Here's how I spent about $30 to install all the Apple Jam Packs to use in GarageBand ′11. When you buy MainStage 2 from Mac, you can download them all to use in GarageBand or Logic.

Reader Zach Paull is a GarageBand enthusiast who’s less than enthusiastic about the amount of hard drive space consumed by GarageBand’s loops. He writes:

I am a huge fan of GarageBand. I have been using it for a few years now, and have only one major gripe. I have purchased and installed four jam packs. This has taken up a large chunk of my hard drive space—nearly 17 gigs. I work on an iBook G4 which at its best has only 25 gigs of available space. I think with all the space that these packs take up, it is slowing my computer down when I run GarageBand on it. I know that with my iTunes Library, I can move it to an external hard drive, and that has been a big help. Is there any way that this can be done with these jam packs?

There is. By default, Apple’s loops are stored in two locations—/Library/Audio/Apple Loops and /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops. Dig down into these folders until you locate the folders that hold specific jam packs—Jam Pack 2 – Remix Tools and Jam Pack 4 – Symphony Orchestra, for example. Drag these jam pack folders to your external drive. Once copied, drag the original folders to the Desktop.

GarageBand will give no indication that it can’t find its loops until you try to use one of them. Then it will throw up a dialog box indicating it hasn’t a clue where they are and asks if you’d like to re-index your loops. Click Cancel.

Now locate the jam pack folders that you copied to your external drive and drag them into GarageBand’s loop browser. GarageBand will acknowledge that you’re attempting to add loops to the browser and ask if you’d like to keep the loops in their current location or copy them to the Loops folder. The correct answer is Current Location. Test your configuration by selecting one of the jam packs from the browser loops pop-up menu (the one that normally reads My Loops), choosing a sound, and previewing it. If GarageBand won’t play it and instead throws up that re-indexing dialog box, let GarageBand re-index the loops this time.

Once you’re sure everything is working as it should, you can toss out the original loop folders that you moved to the Desktop.
