Adding loops to the loop browser

When you install GarageBand, the loops included with the application are installed in the loop library, and are indexed. The loop browser uses the index to find loops and show information about them. When you add more loops to your collection, they are installed in the library, and added to the index.

Loop browser

To add loops to the loop browser:

Drag loops, or a folder containing the loops, over the loop browser. The loops are added to the the loop library and to the index.

If you add loops located on a different drive or partition, a dialog appears asking whether you want to copy them to the loop library, or index them in their current location. If you add loops from the desktop, a dialog asks if you want to move them or index them in their current location.

If you add loops located on a CD or DVD, GarageBand copies them to the loop library.
