All Real Instruments coming through in Mono

I am using a lexicon Omega interface into garage band. The input settings say stereo but every real instrument I record comes through in mono. The only time I can get stereo is when I use one of the garage band instrument settings which is fine for guitars and keyboards. Any suggestions?

Real Instruments Tracks Not Playing

In one of my songs, the real instruments do not play. However, I can hear the reverb and echo for these tracks. The tracks still respond to editing. The drum loop and Software Piano play just fine.
Last night, all tracks worked properly, even after deleting a real instrument track. I saved and shut down for the night.
After booting up today, the remaining real instrument tracks have only very minimal volume; really, just a faint whisper. Track info remains the same and I can see some real instrument track monitor activity, but that's about it for the real instruments.
In response to some earlier advice, I created a new Real Instrument and/or a Software Track and see if they are soloed. Nothing, no "hidden" soloed Track.
The real instrument tracks remain silent, though fully editable.
Any assistance would be great.

I went into the master track to see what's going on.
Ducking option was not highlighted, so I clicked on it just to see what would happen. It unlocked all locked tracks, but not the real instruments for some reason. Then, I removed Ducking option.
All real instruments have returned. Problem resolved.
It was something to do with Ducking.
Each day I learn something new. Life is good.

My iphone screen has broke and i cant see anything but i can still hear my messages coming through, is there any way i can read those messages online?

Please help, my iphone screen was repaired with a faulty screen and my screen has went sheet white with all coloured lines so i cannot see anything on the screen at all. My phone is still on and i can still hear all my messages coming through, is there any way i can read those messages before dumping the phone?

Only if:
1. It's iMessages
2. You have a newer Mac and iMessage is configured
3. You use the same Apple ID

Why can't GB let me use 'electric guitar' option when using Nio 2/4 interface - I have to use real instrument and miss out on all the effects. Is this normal for all interfaces?

Usually effects packages are AU plugins that would have no effect on track selection. Interfaces should have no control over what kind of track you can select. I really think something else is going on her maybe something you overlooked.
Did you choose the input channel in the track info pane. Try both channel 1 mono or channel 2 mono. Make sure the track is record enabled.

My husband and I have our iphones and icloud set up. He is getting all my text messages coming through to his phone, how can i get this changed so it does not happen? does it have anything to do with icloud?

Well, you use the different accounts such Phone Numbers, email addresses. And make sure that your iPhones have no receipient address in common, then you can avoid this issue.
I use iMessage on my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, iPod touch.
Each of them has a individual address to receive messages, so they won't combine all the messages among all the devices.
Try this, if it doesn't work, tell me, I'll figure another way out.

Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them as the area is just left blank! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Open Messages. Then go to the Menu and click on Messages. In the drop down select Preferences. Choose the accounts tab. If you have already added your iCloud account then remove it and add it again.

Use your PC to sign-on to your mail service using the browser interface they provide. Delete all the e-mails you don't want on the server. That will prevent the iPad from downloading them.

5s screen cracked. Receiver speaker worked but when replaced screen the receiver speaker wasn't coming through very good. Replaced receiver speaker and still bad quality. All connects are tight and opened it a few times. Where might the prob be?

Pretty much what I wrote. I didn't damage anything and all of the connections look good but the speaker isn't coming through very good. I tried to mash the receiver speaker into its boot because I know that if it isn't seeded well then it could cause muffling but it is in place and secure. All of the contacts look fine and none were damaged or touched when the phone was opened. Any idea where I could have gone wrong here? Mainly the receiver speaker sounds garbly and scratchy. Like it would sound from being water damaged and no this phone has never seen water. Thank you for any help anyone.

Wow. That was your help? Yes obviously it's damaged and obviously I have damaged it. Thank you for that. Now back to the question. What did I damage so I can fix it. This phone is too old for warranty as well. That's why I'm fixing it. Please, everyone else. I don't want instore advice but tech help. This is the Apple Community.
In your first post, you said you didn't damage it. It seemed worth pointing out that it was, in fact damaged. And, as I suggested in my first reply, you might try a website like ifixit.com. They specialize in resources for people to repair iPhones.

All my emails from my hotmail account keep coming to my phone, how can I stop them coming through?

After recently updating my iPhone, all the emails from my hotmail account keeping coming through on my phone. I have opened all the emails from that account so I don't understand why they keep coming to my phone unopened. Also I have tried deleting and re-adding the email account a number of times but it still won't stop sending them through. How can I stop this?

You can share the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
But for all other Apple services like:
FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.

Not all of my messages are coming through my email????

My computer restarted this morning and now my thunderbird email isn't working properly. Some emails are coming through but when I check emails on my iphone there have been other emails coming through (on my phone) which are not showing up in thunderbird on my computer?? I haven't changed anything, all I did was restart my computer. Help please!!

Not sure what would cause that but you might try setting it up as an Exchange account to see if you have more success, as explained here:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/32784/sync-hotmail-with-your-iphone-or-ipod-touch -with-exchange-activesync/. (If you don't want to sync contacts or calendars just turn these to off.)

I have just had an iPad mini but all my messages are coming through on my iPad and iPhone how can I stop this happening

I have just had an iPod mini but my messages are coming through on my iPad and my iPhone how can I stop this happening ? Do I need to reset my iPad ?

To prevent messages from reaching both devices you can turn off Messages on the device you do not want to receive messages but keep Messages on on the device you do want to receive Messages.
You might also look at this option for both devices.
Settings > Messages > Send and Receive > review the a riotous choices for how you can e reached and select the ones that are most appropriate for you and the device you are setting.

Any way at all to STOP sounds coming through bluetooth?

Whoever designed this should be strung up...
Is there any way to STOP sounds coming through my bluetooth headset? It is so incredibly distracting when I'm on a call and the stupid calendar goes off, I hear an email come in, a text message, etc.
I have an iPhone 4 and Plantronics Voyager Pro.
I know one way is to turn on the mute switch on my iPhone, but I don't want to do that like 8 million times a day.
I'd simply like to NOT hear everything ringing in my ear when I'm trying to have a simple conversation.
Anyone?

I'm assuming you have an A2DP compatible headset. If so, see if you can disable A2DP on the headset. You can do so on the Jawbone Icon, not sure about others.
To my knowledge, there is no way to disable A2DP on the iphone itself.

(True) "Real" Stereo tracks converted to Mono after 5.1 update

Hello:
I have true stereo (as opposed to dual/centered mono) vocal and guitar tracks included in my most recent project. When I played everything back yesterday I noticed that all the "real" instruments had been converted to mono. I checked the source AIFF files and discovered they are still stereo. I typically record multiple vocal tracks and the export the resultant combined vocals (mono) and clean things up in Amadeus Pro. I often split the track, offset one channel, merge the channels and save the now-stereo file which gets imported back into GarageBand. This saves me from having literally hundreds of iso vocal tracks to deal with and it also opens up the vocals by spreading them across the stereo image.
The unwanted stereo to mono conversion has happened once or twice the past and I've never really figured out a remedy other than reimporting the AIFF files.
I was simply curious if anyone had experienced this phenomenon before and discovered a fix before I began the task of reimporting the stereo tracks. Btw, earlier versions of the project were unaffected by the update (if indeed it was the 5.1 update that cause the problem)—so it appears that only the current working project was altered.
Thanks!
~Huck

I discovered I had only one option (mono) until I unplugged my Mbox and selected System Setting as input source in GarageBand. At that point, stereo became available as a option and I went track by track enabling stereo playback. Thank you very much for your assistance! While I'm not entirely certain why having my Mbox selected as the input source changed all my "real" tracks to mono, at least I don't need to go through the hassle of re-importing the source material. I need to use the Mbox for guitar and bass tracks, so hopefully this was a one-time oddity.
Again, thank you for your help!

"Too Many Real Instruments"

I am posting this in the '09 topic, but my question really dates back to Garageband '08. I rely on Garageband often, and I'm a big fan of it. However, it contains a serious problem which I need fixed.
I create a new project, drop a single iTunes song into it, and begin to edit. Almost every time, randomly while playing the song the "Part of the project was not played. This project has too many real instrument tracks to be played in real-time" warning message appears. I only have 1 track! Worse still, my audio driver lets out a terrible "HONK" which startles me and blasts through the entire house. After that, My sound output faintly exists until I open up Audio MIDI Setup and change a random setting on my output.
I am quite tired of this predicament. Is there anyway to fix this (without money)?

I was experiencing a similar problem, and I just got off the phone with applecare and went through all their steps.
I'll try my best to recount them here. But before I do, let it be said that the tech fellow, once he heard what I was doing, exclaimed that my core problem was that I needed to be creating new projects, and not re-using the same project (ex. "My Song 2") over and over.
What I've been doing is backing up a pile of mini-discs that have live concerts on them. A couple of hours of audio each one, and I've been recording them into Garageband. After I divide the concert up into songs and export them to itunes, I've been deleting the track in Garageband and then importing the next concert (repeat x 10 concerts).
About 7-8 concerts in I started getting that popping sound when the sound would cut out (made the sound of depressing the safety-seal bubble on the metal lid of a jam jar). At first, quitting Garageband and opening it again would work. On the 10th concert, when the sound cut out the sound for the whole computer would stop working (itunes, volume buttons on my keyboard, everything).
So the tech fellow said the lesson is this: create new projects. Don't be shy about it. No need to re-use and recycle in cyberspace.
Now - my applecare steps:
- First we went: Macintosh HD, Library, then dragged "Caches" to the trash
- then went to Finder, Go, Utilities, Disk Utility, Macintosh HD, Repair Disk Permissions (that took some time)
- then restarted the computer
All seems to be well now.
Good luck
