Apogee Jam Help!

Hi,
I have recently purchased an Apogee Jam from Apple. I wasn't able to figure out or find anything to help me record Audio and Video at the same time USING built-in effects in GarageBand. I want to record video (from iSight) and record audio (Apogee Jam) at the same time. Although I think I found a way to do it in iMovie, it doesn't allow me apply effects.
So basically, I would like to record Apogee Jam and video at the same time USING effects.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Noah,
Have you tried recording in both programs simultaenously, then syncing up the audio afterward? This may be the simplest route.

I think I have done something wrong. I used my Apogee Jam on a guitar project with several audio tracks in Logic Pro 9. And while the Apogee Jam still was connected, I switched to another project with only instrument tracks (synths). I forgot to change the "Built In Input". After I did this, my guitar sounds like crap when I try to use Apogee Jam in the same guitar project, or also if I create a new project. I use Guitar Rig 5 (Native Instruments) as my guitar plug-in. But the guitar sounds strange even if I don´t assign Guitar Rig.
Can somebody help me?

Garageband - using apogee Jam and acoustic guitar sound

Hi
I am trying to record an acoustic guitar on garageband (using my actual acoustic guitar), however the sound of the low strings sounds really muffled and low quality. i am using the built-in mic on my Mac to do this, not any external equipment. Is it advisible to always use an external mic and/or directly plug any instrument directly into the Mac? Are there any methods to improve the sound of recording?
I also purchased an apogee Jam device to plug electric guitar and bass directly into my Mac and record. It seems to be working, however, i cant get any output sound at all (when playing or recording). it does record, but only like an unplugged electric instrument would sound. On the 'Track' menu at the top, the option to 'show monitoring for real instrument tracks' is greyed out when i have the Jam plugged in. i cant find any way to hear the instrument in Garageband at all.
I am using a Mac Book Pro, Garageband 11 V. 6.0.5.
Any help, much appreciated!
Thanks
Dom

Dom,
Double check that your JAM the selected input source by opening System Preferences>Sound>Input and select JAM. When you open GarageBand make sure to start a new "Real Instrument Track" or "Guitar Track" (if you want to add any crazy effects to the acoustic signal). Also make sure to select the button "I want to hear my instrument as I play and record."

When I connect my guitar using apogee jam the note drops off after a few seconds. Why???

When I connect my guitar using apogee jam the note drops off after a few seconds. Why???
Its the same on most of the preset amps.
Please help, the apogee cost me £80!

Is it stopping recording after 8 seconds? Are you using Garage Band?
If both of these are correct:
This is actually a feature (i'm not sure why it defaults to this). Instructions for the iPhone version are below:
With the amp section open, touch the sproket on the upper right.
You should be in a "settings" type area with three tabs. Touch "Sections"
Select the section and switch it to automatic - it will now record until you stop recording by touching the stop icon.

Apogee JAM noise?

Hi there,
I was looking in the forum about this "problem" I have but I dodnt found anything and even in internet all around.
So the thing is that I have this Apogee JAM that I use with my iMac and GarageBand.
It works just great...
I was recording some rithmics and today I decided to listen them using my headphones and my surprise was that before the guitar starts there is a noise, kind of "buzz", and then this noise continues during all the recording, it is like the guitar is playing and this "buzz" is on background, not very loud but you can hear it, and is more audible when you stop to play.
The Gain in the JAM is in the middle, so no gain saturation, also "shape", "treble", "middle" and "bass" on my guitar are in the middle.
Any one here is having this same "problem"?
Do I need to change something in the garageband?
Thanks a lot for help someone can bring me

Unfortunately, I don't believe that Apple keeps prior versions of Apps available at the store. GB was the first app I purchased there day one of my Ipad, incredibly worth the $, and I did actually look to see if you could go back legitimately.This is just one of the many reasons to JBreak your devices, so that you can go backward if you need to. This is a perfect example of why Apple should make prior versions available, but they think they know it all and never make mistakes, so that will never happen. Again, this is why folks take things into their own hands and why the scene exists. There are plenty of abuses, more than not IMO, but here is a perfect example of how people are screwed and can't use their Jams any longer without a JBroken device. They obviously know that this issue exists, they have employees on these forums. It will be months if ever they fix this issue, because the number of owners of Jam, although in the thousands, is small potatoes compared to the Apple owner universe. I believe it will only be fixed if Apogee is able to put enough pressure on Apple. If you see the Jam removed from the Apple store and GB site you know that Apple is choosing not to fix it, because they won't sell or promote it directly and then have to deal with complaints and returns. But even this will happen slowly...
Actually it occurs to me that Apogee may have to redesign the Jam AGAIN in order to get it working with 1.1 on Ipad 2 and Iphone 4s (devices with the newer processor). I wonder if they will recall or replace the Jams for people who now have Jams not compatible with Garageband. Again, Apple should be posting a warning for Jam owners on the Garageband download page, but that will never happen because Apple doesn't care about small potatoes.

Static in GarageBand when using Apogee Jam

Hello,
I am using an Apogee Jam as my guitar interface with GB. I have noticed static/noise when I am playing. I have GB version 6.0.5. I never had any static before. I have checked my cables and it does it with all my cables. I'm not sure if it is my interface or GB. Any other Apogee Jam users having this problem, before the most recent update to GB?
I am using a Mac Mini Late 2012 version.
Thanks!

Hello sclc,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand when you are using Skype on your HP Envy Touchsmart IS-j052nr running Windows 8.1 you are hearing static, whether using headphones or the speakers. Now are you only hearing the static noises when using Skype, or whenever you are using headphones or require sound from the speakers?
After some research on the Skype Support Forums, I have seen a few recommendations which I would like you to try to see if that reduces/removes that annoying static sound. Please follow the steps listed below:
1. Sign into Skype
2. Go to Tooks > Options > General > Audio settings
3. Uncheck Automatically adjust under the Microphone and Speakers sections
4. Set volume to your preference
5. Save and restart Skype
If you are still experiencing the static noise, I would like you to continue here: Skype Audio Problems Trouble Shooting
Please reply back with the requested information, if the static noises are still there and it is only when you are using Skype, I recommend going to the Skype Support Page as they would be able to better assist you.
I will watch for your reply.

Ipad Garageband doesn't recognize Apogee jam guitar input

I have recently bought an Apogee jam guitar input device. Device works with other software like Ampkit without problem. But garageband doesnt recognize the device as an input. When I hook in the device the monitor icon grays out and theres no input sound. The interesting thing, I can see green light on monitor icon blinking with every sound coming from guitar and audio recording device meter moves with it also. But when I press record it gives this error: "this device does not have an built-in audio input. You can not record audio ...". Any ideas? Mono is not enabled from settings so its not the cause of tgis issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have upgraded from iOS 4.3.5 to 5.0 and did a sync from itunes on my laptop. It did the trick. Now garaband is working with Apogee Jam without any problem.

Apogee Jam to Ipad 4 via 30-8 pin adapter- Doesnt work

I bought an Apogee Jam yesterday and attempted to connect it to my Ipad 4 via the Apple 30-8 pin connector (Genuine connector, very expensive)
I followed the instructions for the Jam and nothing happened.
When first plugged into the Ipad the LEd gopes green for 2 seconds or so then goes blue. I start Garage band (or any other amp app) and try to start a session, and the LED remains blue.
This is drivingme nuts. The sole reason I bought an IPad was for guitar recording.
I called the Apple stroe and they were no help (called 2 local stores) they even refused to elt me come in and update the firmware on the Jam.
Would the firmware udpate fix this (assuming I can find soemone with a Mac) or do I have to return my Jam and wait for the Irig HD or similar?
Or do I have to return my Ipad?
Thanks

Okay so I thought I'd update this for anyone in a similar situation:
Called another Apple store, worse than useless, wont even let me plug into an ipad or Iphone in the store to isolate if my Ipad is faulty. So much for genius support.
Anyway I bit the bullet and called Apogee, I was on the phone for an hour (£10 in international call charges). Ran a number of tests on my Ipad and PC (The Jam will work with a PC to a degree, at least enough to remove a faulty Ipad from the equation).
Turns out the unit was faulty.
I returned it to my local guitar store, who transferred a few units from other stores in order to check agains t other new, out of the box units.
I tried 3 units, on my Ipad, an Iphone 5, the store owners Macbook and the store PC. All 3 units were dead. Same exact fault on all three units.
Tried half a dozen different guitars and cables to remove those from the equation. All dead.
Store owner took all of the units home to try on his Ipad 2 last night, I am waiting to hear if he got any of them working.
t looks like I might have to wait for the Irig HD, or get a Line 6 mobile In instead.

Pluging in headphones stops the Apogee Jam working in garage band

Just got Apagee Jam adapter and plugged it in to iPad2 running garage band. All is well till i plug the headphones in and it seems to disable the jam and default back to the iPad2 mic. From then on i can't get it back and the sound dies. All i can do is reboot the iPad to fix it!
Very new to Mac......Help!

Apogee Jam and Logic?

Hey all, I am thinking about buying Logic and was wondering if anyone has experience with the apogee Jam input? Can I use it with Logic?
Thanks!
Bob

Jeremy,
JAM is an input only device. When using JAM you can simply use Internal Speakers, Headphones or any other output from your Mac. Hope this helps!

How can I listen to a song from itunes and play along with my guitar on ipad2/apogee jam?

I am trying to utilze my ipad2 for guitar practce but having a hard time getting my technology under control. I have garage band as well as the apogee jam and I can easily hook it in and play, create songs etc. But what I like to do is play along at the same time with songs from my itunes library or from youtube. whenever I switch to another app the recording feed from garage band stops until I return to the app. How do people get around this, if they do?
Thanks

Not at this time. iTunes Match downloads all music listened to on iOS devices. Period.

Apogee Jam No longer working after 1.1 update?

My apogee jam is no longer working after updating to Garageband 1.1. I have an Ipad 2 with firmware 4.3.3.
Specifically what happens is:
1. I open the garageband app
2. I select the guitar amp
3. I plug the Jam chord into Ipad (guitar is already connected to cord)
4. Jam light goes green, blue, bright green then green
When Jam light goes bright green, the monitor button in garageband goes dim and doesn't work.
I've tried plugging my guitar in first, then starting garageband, no difference in results.
I have tried turning the monitor "on" prior to pluging in the jam, when I do this the monitor/sound gate window stays open until the Jam bright green goes on, then it disappears and the monitor button goes dim.
Outside the garageband app, the ipad does recognize the Jam in settings, general.
What's worse (for me...) is that I backed up the Ipad in itunes thinking that app data would also be backed up (as I read that in a description of backup). I then deleted garageband from the ipad and then restored it from itunes. Guess what, lost all my songs... Bummed out... Why wouldn't my songs be backed up???
Anyway, any ideas on the Jam issue would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping I am just overlooking a setting?

Why does Apogee Jam not work with the Ipod Touch 4G

Hi,
I have a Apogge Jam an it works fine with my Mac Book, but it does not seem to be compatible with my Ipod Touch 4g.
Only the Gibbson L&M app recognize the Apogee Jam, but no other App (Ampkit, ....) :-((
With the IPhone 4 it shall work, can tell me anybody why Apogee Jam is not compatible with the Ipod Touch 4g (
although the Gibson-App works)?
Is there perhaps still other Apps which work with the Ipod Touch and Apogge Jam?
Thanks
Michael

I cannot answer the specifics, but I would guess it is a software issue because Griffin iTalk app will cooperate with the Apogee JAM on an iPod Touch 4g running iOS5. If this app can do it, then one would presume the other apps could be updated to do it also.
From last week up until yesterday, Apogee actually listed the 4G Touch as a compatible device with the JAM.
Apparently there was some confusion about Garageband now supporting iPod Touch and its functionality with JAM.

No sound from Apogee Jam with iPad mini and Lightning-30 pin adapter

Hello everybody.
I'm trying to use my Apogee Jam with iPad mini but I am unable to hear any sound from it. Jam seems to work, since the led become green and react to the guitar signal. I tried two different guitars and different cables but nothing changes. Jam also works perfectly on MacBook Pro and garage Band, so I first assumed the issue was in the iPad or in the Lightning-30 pin adapter (genuine).
Oddly on AmpliTube I can tune the guitar, so some signal arrives to the iPad, but I can't do the same on JamUp, where the tuner seems not to reiceve any signal. Are there some settings I should check on the apps?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Make sure you have the monitor input turned on in GarageBand. http://youtu.be/Eb8bN3tExio

Apogee Jam and Garage Band

I recently got a new Airbook about 3 weeks ago. I have my Apogee Jam working with Garage band, however, I regularly need to reset the MIDI drivers. When I change amps/effects the sound output will stop. I believe that all my connections (cable, etc.) are good. Doe anyone have any ideas why this may be happening?
Thanks,
Dan
OSX: 10.9.4
Garage Band 10.0.3

Thanks, I will try upgrading.
I tried to get a screen shot, but the window keeps minimizing when I try to use Grab- but what I do to fix it, is:
1. Go to GB preferences
2. Select reset MIDI, and/or reselect output device
3. You can see it 'cycles through', and then, it seems to correct it.
I see what you are saving about MIDI, but I don't have a keyboard set-up with it, etc.
Thanks again,
Dan
