Adding Loops to the Logic Loop Browser.
LogicPro8 manual (p.620):
Logic Pro must index Apple Loops before they are shown in the Loop Browser. Loops can reside in any directory, but you need to tell Logic Pro where to find them.
To add Apple Loops to the Loop Browser:
1 Open a Finder window alongside Logic Pro.
2 Navigate to the folder that contains the Apple Loops.
3 Select the Apple Loops in the folder and drag them into the Loop Browser.
The loops are added to the Apple Loops library and indexed. When this process is finished, the loops will be available directly in the Loop Browser.
If you drag a single loop to the Loop Browser, the loop will be copied to ~/Library/ Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/SingleFiles.
If you drag a folder of loops that are located on the same drive and partition as the Loop Browser, the loops will be left at their current location, and an alias of the folder will be created in ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops.
If the loops are located on a different drive or partition, you’ll be asked whether you want to copy them to the loop library, or index them at their current location (loops added from optical media will always be copied). If you choose to copy them, the folder containing the loops will be copied to ~/ Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/. If you choose to index them at their current location, an alias to the folder will be created in ~/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/.
Acid Loops in the Loop Browser:
The Loop Browser also displays Acid Loops. Acid Loops don’t contain tags like Apple Loops. In Acid Loops, this information is derived from the surrounding folder structure (especially the names of folders), which must comply with certain standards. This means that it’s not possible to drag an individual Acid Loop file into the Loop Browser. As such, you need to drag the entire CD (or folder) that contains the Acid Loops into the Loop Browser.
If the loops don’t show up in the Loop Browswer after being added, the Loop Index files may need to be updated.

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
