Can't get GarageBand to record with line in

I just got my MacBook Pro last week and I bought a Monster 1/4" to 1/8" inch adapter so that I could record my acoustic/electric guitar with Garageband. I know that if you want to use the line in to record, you have to select it in the Sound area of System Preferences, and I have done this. The little bar on that window picks the guitar up, but when I play it in Garage Band, it is using the built-in microphone (I know this because when I unplug the guitar and keep playing, the computer is still picking up the sound) Can anyone help?

You shouldn't, this is only true for intel based Macs. There are still probably many people that don't know this.
Anyway, glad you up and running, enjoy --Hang

  • Can't get garageband to record

    I've been trying to use garageband, and no matter what I do it won't record.
    I've watched the tutorials and all they do is select male/female then click record and talk, but mine won't record a thing. I have a built in mic and it's working fine because it can recognize my voice to open and switch between programs, I just can't get this application to work.
    If anyone has a solution that I may have overlooked I'd be very grateful.

    After another half hour of playing with it trying to find results I found out why it was not working. I had to go to preferences>Audio/MIDI>Audio input. After that I had to take it off default, which was Nothing, and put it on the built in Microphone. It's a stupid mistake, I know, I just thought that default would automatically be set on the only microphone that has ever been in contact with the computer, which is the built in one.

  • I have a recorder that outputs wma files. How can I get garageband to use my wma files?

    I have a recorder that outputs wma files. How can I get garageband to use my wma files?

    I don't think that GarageBand can use wmas, but there's always good old conversion, and GarageBand can definitely use mp3s. Personally, I recommend media.io for stuff like this, but of course it depends on the size of your files. Otherwise I don't know that there's anyway to get GarageBand to work with them...

  • How can I get Lion to work with label printer- Brother  QL 570 or Dymo 450 Turbo?

    I can't get Lion to work with label printers, either Brother QL 570 or Dymo Turbo 450. I want to uninstall Lion and use Snow Leopard unless there is a way to make Lion work with these devices. Any ideas?

    Dymo has released new drivers since Lion came out. Have you downloaded and
    installed them from the Dymo website?
    Some people have said that their Dymo label printers were set to off line by Lion, but
    worked fine after going to Print & Scan, selecting the Dymo printer, and making sure
    it was active/on-line. I had to do that with my Dymo 450 Label Writer.
    I cannot offer any tips about Brother, but you may wish to check their website
    for latest drivers.

  • Can´t get logic to record audio

    ok, i´m feelin´really stupid here - but it´s true - I can´t get logic to record audio in some songs. the only thing - as far as I´m concerned - that is changed while swaping between songs are the song settings. that´s where I´ve been looking for something that´s been disabling the rec function.
    I was working on a song right now which I was recording vocals on a couple of days ago, and now I was going to record some synthstrings (record to audio) and I just can´t make it happen. record path e t c seems to be ok.
    please somebody...HELP!!
    regards

    hi guys!
    thanks for takin´time... I solved the problem last night and then forgotten to post what i´m doing now. but I think it´s a bug... (and it´s ok if u don´t believe me...) it´s a bit spooky...
    I´ve changed the track icons to that cute little tapedeck (for the audio tracks only - buses, inputs and audio instruments have other symbols). looks nice in the arrange window. (gives me the "feel" of recording...) And the song i was working with has been like this for a couple of months. And I´ve been doing a lot of recording until yesterday when it was not possible...
    For some reason i started to fiddle with the track symbol - changing it - and, yes, logic was able to record. At this time I didn´t believe that this was the reason so I changed back to the little tape deck, and yes, recording was not possible. Then I opened an autoload which had the same syndrom (at that time I didn´t bother - I just created another setup), and first trying to record - not possible - then changing the tape deck symbol (yes I used it here too - I really liked it...) and recordning was possible. It seems that if all of logics 64 audiotracks has that (from now on I will call it "ugly") tape deck symbol, at least I can´t record audio (logic won´t go in to record - no matter what - pushing buttons clicking mouse e t c) recording midi was never affected. And the "spooky" thing is that I´ve been recording (with no problems) with all of the 64 audiotracks labelled with that little "ugly" tape deck - until yesterday...
    This might just b a wierd thing - but if anyone elese has a problem like this, it might help. I´m not shure weather it´s the tape deck symbol itself that causes the problem, but getting rid of it solves the same problem.
    (I´m using a RME multiface and I´m not 100% shure it could have SOMETHING to do with this)
    best regards

  • How can I get all users associated with my VSO

    I see here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/integrate/api/shared/profiles that I can get my profile info from the API, but can I get all users associated with an account?

    Hello!
    If you want to see all of that in a single mailbox, you can create a Smart Mailbox from the "file" menu in the top left corner of your screen. It's a bit of trial and error before you get the rules correct, perhaps, but that will work.

    The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
    Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
    Hopefully, this will solve your device issues.

    iOS: Syncing with iTunes - Support - Apple

  • My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

  • How can i get all the records from three tables(not common records)

    Hi
    I have four base tables at R/3-Side. And i need to extract them from R/3-Side.
    And i dont have any standard extractor for these tables .
    If i create a 'View' on top of these tables. Then it will give only commom records among the three tables.
    But i want all the records from three base tables (not only common).
    So how can i get the all records from three tables. please let me know
    kumar

    You can create separate 3 datasources for three tables and extract data to BW. There you can implement business login to build relation between this data.
