My GB Loop Browser shows duplicate loops, I would like to remove the duplicates. Not sure how or where.
I know it's been asked many times but I can't find a GB11 specific solution. Previous versions of GB appear to store Apple Loops in different locations.
Much appreciated

No, the loops have been stored in the same place for years: HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops.
The first thing you should do is find out if you actually have duplicates in that folder. If yes, clean up so you have only one copy of each loop.
The next thing is to quit GB and delete the Loop Index (also in the Audio folder). When you start up GB now, it should come with no loops. Drag your cleaned-up Loops folder onto the Loop Browser for re-indexing.

I located the Loops folder but couldn't see evidence of duplicates. However I deleted the folder below (loops index) and upon restarting GB11 the duplicate loops had gone. So I think that has solved the problem. I hope deleting the Loop Index wasn't the wrong thing to do but I'm sure it can be restored if need be.
Thanks for answering my post.

Looks like everything is fine with your setup!
