Forgive me if I'm teaching grandmothers to suck eggs, but hidden away on Apple's developer site is the Apple Loop SDK...
ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development...SDK_1.1.dmg.bin

I haven't had a chance to download and play with this yet, but if you want to make your own loops for Garage Band, this tool is apparently the go. In simple terms, it takes a standard AIFF audi file and turns it into a stretchable/shrinkable Apple Loop.

Now all we need is an Acid to Apple loop converter utility.

Man! This is WAY cool! I've already built a few loops and I'm planning (when I get enough time between my daughters playing the Sims, anyway) to put together a collection of free loops. I'll post details when it's done.

where do you add loops
how do I add new loops so I can find them using the loop browser?

I've tried dragging a loop into the same folder the built in loops are found: /library/audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for Garage Band but it hasn't worked.

( that is a convoluted file directory isn't it ? )

also that SDK mentioned in the first post sounds interesting but the post date is 2004 - do I still need something like this to make my own loops or is it built in to GB3?

Open Garage Band, open the loops browser and drag and drop your loops there. They will be indexed and available right away.

The tools in the SDK are still needed if you want to make proper loops for GB.
