Is using the MBOX as an audio interface for garage band possible?

I have an MBOX that I used with protools on my PC and it may be awhile before I finally get protools on my mac. Is it possible to use the MBOX with garageband?? and if so...are there any specs I should know about before using it?

Check on the digi site and/or forum for more info if you are using Snow Leopard.
But you may be fine with a USB interface.

In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download. Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

Audio-In for Garage Band on new 13" MBP?

Hi
The new 13" MBP's have a combined audio in/out port on the side, unlike the larger models which have separate input and output ports. Is it possible to configure Garage band to take input from a guitar connected to this port (with suitable adapter)? I have tried but got no result. Maybe there is something in the settings that I missed.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm guessing that the adapter you've tried is a 'stereo' mini-plug with three contact bands instead of four.
By observation, Apple earphones _with microphone_ designed for newer MacBook Pros (and iPods that allow recording) have a fourth contact band on the mini-plug.
You may also need to go to system preferences and change sound preferences to select input.
An alternative would be a USB audio device designed for input from your guitar.

Best set up for interface for garage band

I first off want to thank you for taking the time to read my post and to rant about how great you guys have been with previous questions i've had.
Hi i'm using a eurorack 802b and am not sure how to properly set this up. Should I be running the sound out of the headphone port on the computer into the mixer and then from the mixer back to the line in on the comuter?
Or should I just be using the line in on the computer to process the mic into the macbook?
Either way i'm concerned about what would be the best settings on the computer and mixer to make my vocals sound great. I keep my lows halfway up and my mids up high and my highs halfway up. I keep the gain on the mixer at +10 and then the mic volume halfway up. Now garageband has it's own mic volume.. what should I set that to? I'm not really getting the same results on my macbook I did with my pc, so i'm done trying different setups that haven't worked properly and have elected to ask you more experienced folks.

As far as setting levels, we're dealing with digital recording, so there are not as many rules as far as gain structure. Experiment with preamp gain, and how close you are to the microphone until you find the sound you want to capture, while being careful not to go into clipping. That's the beauty of digital - if you don't like how it turned out, just hit delete and start over. Most people would advise to not use much EQ during the initial recording. The intitial recording is your 'raw material' so it can be beneficial to have a very neutral sound, allowing more freedom to apply EQ and other effects during the mixing process. Force yourself to get the best performance you are capable of, without the benefit of hearing yourself with processing (EQ, reverb, etc). If you can summon a great performance without the help of those things, it will be even better once you apply them during your mixdown. These are just some general suggestions. Above all just have fun recording.

Can anyone recommend an audio device for Garage Band?

For the past three years I used Windows and Cubase LE with my Tascam US-122 for multitrack recording. A month ago, I finally switched to MAC (so good!) and my US-122 worked pretty good with GarageBand, except for a milisecond recording latency issue that I was almost willing to live with. Also, my US-122's headphone jack no longer worked so I decided to try the newer tascam US-144 so I could use head phones and to see if it would cure my latency issue. The headphones are ok, but now I get buzzing and hissing when I play back multi-track recordings in both GB and Cubase LE. This is so annoying I haven't even tested the latency problem. I'm ready to send back my US-144 and get something that is known to work well with the MAC OS and GB and eventually Logic Express. Any recommendations?

I "second" Hangtime's recommendation for a Firewire interface. Generally, Firewire interfaces are more reliable, although they are also usually more expensive. If you are serious about recording, and plan to migrate to Logic, it may be worth it for you to spring for a Firewire interface.
You might want to check out the selection on a major retailer's site like Sweetwater Sound. Their website is www.sweetwater.com, and they have just about everything, so it's a great place to check out what's out there. Their sales reps are also pretty knowledgeable (well, some are), but if you call them, make sure they don't sell you anything you don't want!
Budget is obviously a key factor in making a decision. If what you're after is rock solid performance, I've found RME interfaces (the Fireface 800 or the smaller Fireface 400) absolutely rock solid. Apogee's Ensemble and Duet offer very good sound quality sound for the price, but are still more than twice as much as interfaces offering similar features (but not the sound quality). For interfaces at a lower price point offering great bang for the buck, I like M-Audio and Presonus.

Best audio interfaces for Imac

Going to get the new Imac and need suggestions for garage band audio interfaces?

If money is not an issue, look at Apogee. Their devices have a tight integration with Logic/GarageBand
http://www.apogeedigital.com
Others are good too, but if you want to go for quality (and nice design) Apogee is the brand.
Hope that helps

10.5.8 with latest garageband 5.1 with MBOX 1. On Nov 4.09 I did a software update, now i get no output volume or input volume to the computer itself. I get it from head phones from my mbox, but not to the computer. Before the software update It worked great. I've tried upgrading software through digidesign .com, but they dont seem to have one for what i need. any way to get my old garage band back? go from 5.1 to earlier? Or maybe it was the upgrade to 10.5.8. update? Can i go back in time lol?
Any help would be appreciated
BTW
Ive tried all the system sound prefs, and garage band drivers. Back and forth.
cheers

Problem Using Zoom H4 as an Audio Interface with Garageband

I'm new to GB and I am having problems getting started using my Zoom H4 as an Audio Interface with Garageband on my iMAC.
I'm fairly certain that I have the connection and all of the setting configurations correct, and yet I cannot get any sound from the H4 into GB.
I do see the sound volume registering in the Input Level window of the H4, but not in GB.
Here is what I see in my Garageband:
Preferences >
Audio/MIDI >
- System Setting
- Built-in Microphone
- Built-in Input
- H4 Audio IN (when H4 is connected to the iMAC via USB)
Of course I have selected the H4.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Operators standing by!

I don't have a H4 but do have a H2. Did you set the H4 as a audio interface, after you plug it in choose interface in the H4 screen?
Did you choose the H4 input channel in the track info?

Using M-Audio Fast Track C400 Audio Interface for FaceTime but only input 1 audio is coming through?...

I'm trying to use my M-Audio interface for FaceTime/U Stream for music purposes. I'm a professional recording artist and I'd like to do some "live stream" concerts for fans from home. I have my keyboard in input 1 and my microphone in input 2. Both signals come through just fine when I'm using Garageband or Logic, but for some reason when I select the interface as the "microphone" option when streaming, only audio from input one is heard from my viewers. I've also switched the keyboard and mic to rule out the mic being the problem, but then the mic audio comes through and not the keyboard...I'm wondering if I'm missing some minute setting somewhere?...I don't understand why it's only for video chat applications that it's only receives one channel of audio...Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Are you using Logic 8 or 9?
What are you trying to hear Logic's output through?
If you're expecting audio output through built-in audio, and you're using Logic 9, make sure your Fast Track is set as the input device, and built-in audio is set for the output device (both in Logic's audio preferences)
However, if you're using Logic 8 or 7, you need to create an aggregate device if you're using built-in output.
Details here:

OR
use the FastTrack's audio outputs to drive your monitoring, NOT your built-in audio.

Using Tascam US-122mk11 as audio interface in Final Cut Pro 7

Using Tascam US-122mk11 as audio interface in Final Cut Pro 7. Works fine with Garage Band. Final Cut Pro won't use it. It appears in source menu in Voice Over Tools, but FCP won't use it.

This is the Final Cut Pro X forum. You are using a very different application. The Final Cut Studio forum, which is for the application you're using, is here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_stud io
Give exact details of your media and sequence settings. It would also be good to know what kind of drive you're using and how it's connected.

URGENT! I can't hear my mic in logic express, I am using line 6 KB37 as audio interface

I just bought logic express 9 and I am having trouble. I can't record my vocals, I have the mic set up with the line 6 KB37 audio interface and when open a new project and create a new track I can't hear anything. There is no signal at all, even on the KB37. Any help much appreciated.

Hi,
1) What kind of mic are you using? If it's a condenser mic, make sure you have phantom power turned on.
2) I am not familiar with the KB37 audio interface. What input is the mic on the device? If it has a mic input, and a guitar input, then it's probably Input 1, but if it isn't you'll need to change the input on the track in Logic to whatever number it should be.

Since I've updated to iOS 6 I am unable to use the next/back buttons from Headphone for audio book chapters.

Since I've updated from iOS 5 to iOS 6 I am unable to use the next/back buttons from Headphone for audio book chapters.
This is working fine for albums but are broken for audio books.
The back button refers always to the first chapter of the audio book (very annoying if you are in the middle of an audio book) and the nex button goes one level higher back to the selection of the audio book itself.
In iOS 5.0 it was still possible to navigate throught the audio book chapters using these buttons.
This still happens in iOS 6.1.
Is this a known bug?
Does any solution exist?
Thx,
Oliver

To gdgmacguy your a f****** idiot for one I'm having the same problem as pennymar. And you tell me to quit whinning. You got more problems then the iOS 6 you did not answer my question nor the other 13 or whatever you replied to within a 30 min time frame. You must got nothing better to do then to harass people and to pretend you know something about apple products. Which you don't from what I've read the other advices you should have gave to other people. But you didn't you replied a question back to the people asking a question. So if your not gonna use these community forums the right way don't use them at all.
