Existing users, 
I don't think the alias thing works with GarageBand. I tried putting the loops on another drive with an alias to the loops folder in Application Support, but Garage Band didn't see them.

RE: Alias for GarageBand loops folder - Whit G
He's right. I tried the same thing as soon as I got my hands on it and of course it didn't work (logging out won't help), but it turns out symbolic links will do it:http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040117222032141&query=garageband

A Symlink works very well, an alias will not. I did it since the first install of GB and put the whole GarageBand Folder from within the Application Support Folder in Library (all users) folder on to another drive via a symlink vreated by Cocktail. Only Problem was with installing some new softwareinstruments, lice JacoBass later, the installer deleted the symlink! So I created a new Symlink and installed JacoBass via Pacifist which was no problem! Installed the GB update 1.0.1 yesterday-also no problem.Try symlinks whenever "normal" aliases won't do it.

Then try a symlink instead of an alias.Also try logging out/in immediately after you create the alias or symlink.
