Garageband Sound Library
GarageBand 2.3 update features new Sound Library, Beat Sequencer, and three new instruments This major update to the iOS app for digital audio creation is available for free in the App Store. My basic installation for GarageBand instruments and music lessons in /Library/Application Support/GarageBand is 2.74GB. The loops for GarageBand are stored in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/, and my installation is 629.9MB. However I do not believe that I have downloaded the whole set. At an Apple retailer where I have worked, their installation in. Since I didn't want to fill my startup partition, I extracted the 'GarageBand' folder (the one that should be placed in /Library/Application Support) with Pacifist to another volume. The main app, the midi drivers and the documentation are correctly installed on my startup volume.
You can open the Sound Library from the Sound browser, the Live Loops browser, and from instruments that have additional sounds available for download. To open the Sound Library, your device must be connected to the Internet.
