![]() Tick the “Calculate all sizes” check box. In the Finder, click “View” then “Show View Options”.ĩ. We need to organise these by size, which by default you won’t have enabled.Ĩ. You will see any number of folders here, all with seemingly random two letter names. This path is case sensitive but you can use tab-completion to fill it in.ħ. In the box that appears, type “/var/folders/” and click “Go”. In Finder, select “Go” then “Go to Folder…”Ħ. ![]() Move the authentication window and the GarageBand / Logic Pro window to one side and go to your Finder application.ĥ. DO NOT FILL THIS IN AND DO NOT CLOSE THIS WINDOW!Ĥ. Eventually the progress message under the loading bar will change from an ETA to “Installing…” and an authentication window will appear asking for administration details. Dependant on the size and number of content packages, and the speed of your connection, it may even be advisable to leave it running overnight.ģ. Go make a cup of tea / coffee and generally leave the Mac to one side. This will take some time, especially with Logic. You should either be prompted to download the new content or it will start automatically.Ģ. In the examples, I have used a fresh version of Mavericks 10.9.5 and an un-launched copy of GarageBand, but the process is almost identical for Logic Pro X and for when Apple releases an additional content package.ġ. ![]() With a modular image, or if Apple release an updated content package, you need to use another technique. With a monolithic image, this is simple as the loops can be downloaded and included in the image. The question is how to catch and include these content packages. In environments that manage their Mac devices (particularly Education departments) they will need to deploy these additional content packages with GarageBand and Logic Pro, otherwise users face a lengthy wait on first launch. When these Applications are first launched, they try to download and install the content, with this totally over 10s of GBs of data (especially for Logic)! Additionally, Apple will occasionally release new content packages, which are then downloaded the next time the Application is launched. To minimise the download size of GarageBand and Logic Pro X Applications, the content / music loops were separated. A little ago, Apple stopped shipping iLife suite installers for GarageBand, iWeb, iDVD, iPhoto and iMovie and instead utilised the Mac App Store for these products, as well as for Logic Pro X. Now some Mac admins prefer to use network packet capture tools such as “Charles Web Proxy” however the method I suggested uses no additional applications and requires a lower technical skill level to do. The company also added a new free trial option for Logic Pro X, allowing users to try out the application for 90 days.Back in November, I had a conversation over Twitter with about how to capture and deploy the GarageBand loop installers. In related news, Apple last week extended the Final Cut Pro X free trial from 30 days to 90 days. As of right now, it has not taken down the image from its education website. There’s no indication on when Apple plans to release the next version of Logic Pro X. Working in the grid, you can start and stop playback of cells freely, while keeping everything in sync.

With Live Loops, you can play, edit, and arrange musical ideas in real time. Live Loops is designed to make it easy to create music like a DJ or electronic music producer. Here’s how Apple describes the feature in Garageband on iPad: The Live Loops feature first came to the iPad back in 2016, with Apple billing it as an “entirely new and intuitive way to create amazing music.” Live Loops includes a variety of Apple-designed loop templates for creating music with a unique cell and column-based design. As eager Reddit users noted, the screenshot appears to show Apple’s Live Loops feature in Logic Pro X for the Mac. What’s interesting about the image, however, is the Logic Pro X interface that’s shown. The feature has proven to be popular in Garageband for iPad, and now Apple is looking to expand the experience to Logic Pro users.Īs first noted by a user on Reddit (via MacRumors), Apple’s education website shows an image of a MacBook Pro running Logic Pro X. Apple is seemingly prepping a new version of Logic Pro X for the Mac with support for Live Loops.
