Logic Pro 7.1 – Apple Loops (2005-0905) 14 of 23

Logic - GarageBand:

Logic 7.1 and GarageBand v2 ( and Soundtrack Pro) share the same location for the indexed Apple Loops and the Index files:

(root)/Library/Audio/Apple Loops

(root)/Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index

(user)/Library/Audio/Apple Loops

(user)/Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index

Logic 7.0 and GarageBand v1 stored them in different locations: /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Apple Loops/

The code for handling Apple Loops seems to be the same now for both application. Most dialog windows are identical

There is an exception that point to a bug in Logic:

•

Logic

: When you add a single Apple Loop to the Loop Browser then Logic prompt the same

dialog window when you drag a whole folder (keep location or copy folder). Even if you

select “current location”, the Loop will be moved to the Loop Folder.

•

GarageBand

: When you add a single Loop, GarageBand prompts a different window with

the only option to “Move to Loops Folder” and that’s exactly what it does.

The user interface is pretty similar in its functionality; just the graphics have their own

identity

The minor differences are:

• GarageBand can’t search for the Signature tag

• GarageBand doesn’t display the Match column in the Result Pane

• GarageBand doesn’t have the “Play In” preview feature

• The Favorite flags are independent for both applications because they are

stored in the preference file of the individual application. So you won’t have

access in GarageBand to the Favorites that you marked in Logic.

The differences to the other Apple Loop supported application “Soundtrack Pro” are

more significant, but I’m sure we will see a more unified Apple Loop integration in all

three audio applications: Logic – Soundtrack - GarageBand
