Audio INTERFACE that works with Garage Band??

Any suggestions for a good inexpensive audio interface? Fast Track is awful.... Something about 250 or under?
Want to plug guitar into device, device into MAC - and lay down tracks.

Do the second two in the top row work with Garage Band
there isn't such a thing as "working with GB", if it works on a mac it will work with GB
and ProTools?
i know very little about protools, though they tend to be more proprietary
can we plug them in (to guitar and MAC) and roll?
yes
Or is a mic needed??
"needed", no. there are both 1/4" as well as XLR jacks, as you can see in the pics. you can use either.

  • Computer Interface (That works) for Garage band?

    Hello All...I am new to G/B-I am wanting to record (sperate) tracks (at the same time) in G/B. I think 8 channels would be perfect, that way I can record varoius drums, a bass and a guitar at the same time. Then I can record other real instruments later, one at a time. I have seen a slew of computer interfaces to acomplish this task, however i would like to purchase one that (I know) (will work) well in garage band. Could any of you vetren G/B producers advise me as to what 8 channel audio interface you use with G/B (that works well) for you? And should it be a firewire or USB based one? I tried a friends (a 8 channel Behringer mixer with a USB, but i could get my mac to recongnize the mixer?
    Thanks so much for any response

    I Use the PreSonus FireStudio Mobile. http://www.presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=58
    The FireStudio Project also works. http://www.presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=43
    If you have a FireWire input then use it for your interface rather than USB.

  • Mics and audio interfaces that work with Camera Connector

    FYI: After playing with the Camera Connector I have been able to connect USB recording gear for use with MultiTrack DAW app on the iPad. The Blue Yeti, Samson's GTrack and Roland's Cakewalk Audio Interface all work for inputting audio. All three have internal headphone jacks which work for monitoring both the input and multitrack recordings.
    One caveat with the Yeti: it appears to be almost at the limit of the power that the iPad's USB Camera Connnector can supply. Some headphones and earbuds shut down the mic. Sennheiser HD280 phones work fine, but some of the Sennheiser buds don't.

    It has been reported before that a lot of USB audio devices (e.g., headsets, microphones). As an example see:

  • Does airport express work with garage band in lion?

    Actually I know it can work and there are apps out there to make it work but I heard a rumor that Apple was going to allow functionaliy between the two in Lion. So my question is... 
    Will Airport Express work with Garage Band in Lion or do I have to buy third party software?

    I believe the HP 2840 can be connected either via Ethernet or USB. If connected to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) by USB, only the basic printing functions will be shared out; the scanning, faxing, copying features are not supported.
    If the AX is configured so that its Ethernet port is enabled, the it may be possible to gain all of the printer's features by connecting it to the AX by Ethernet. In this case, the printer will use its own Print server to share out all of these features.

  • External audio controllers that work with FCP

    Is FCP cabable of working with external audio control interfaces such as the kind that work with Logic?
    If so, any recommendations on which ones work well?
    Cheers,
    Jesse.

    take a look at the Mackie MCU (control surface only) or the Tascam FW1082 (control surface/mixer hybrid)
    ... or any product that support the Mackie Control protocol or Logic Control should work.
    smaller, interesting interfaces at the moment include
    the FireOne http://www.tascam.com/details;8,14,104.html
    and the AlphaTrack http://www.frontierdesign.com/Products/AlphaTrack
    larger more extensible setups would include
    the Tascam FW1884 http://www.tascam.com/catalogue;47,14.html
    with additional FE-8 units for up to 128 tracks http://www.tascam.com/products/fe-8.html

  • Audio interfaces that work well or poorly with Logic

    I know asking what everyone thinks is the best audio interface for Logic (Express or Pro - I currently have Express 8) is highly subjective. What I want to know is if anyone feels that certain interfaces work particularly well or particularly poorly with Logic. I'm mostly interested in firewire interfaces with 8 analog inputs under $600 (a la Motu 8 pre, Presonus Firestudio Project, Focusrite Saffire Pro 10, etc). Driver problems? Latency issues? etc?
    I'm new to Logic and home recording in general, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey,
    you said you are using Edirol FA-66 with Logic Express 8? i have the same set up but it will only record for 1:17 minutes before giving me a error message... "Logic Express: (-10005) Disk is too slow. (record)" and "Logic Express: (-10004) disk is too slow. (record)".
    i as you can see have a ultra fast and big HD with over 70GB free. nothing besides Logic is running to compensate for the low ram. and it doesnt matter what setting i use it gives me the error... by increasing the buffer it only lengthens the time before it gives me the error again... with the bigger buffer i can get 3:38 minutes out of it.
    i've called apple support and they couldnt help me... and thats with pro audio care. and i called edirol and they couldnt do anything but tell me to call apple again.
    my wife has a Core dueo Mac book Pro 2Ghz 2Gb ram and a slow 5400rpm HD with a lot of room too and i get the same error... using both external and internal HDs.
    i'm getting the same error with her computer as well as mine using Logic Express 8 and All Versions of GarageBand. I had a Demo of Ableton Live 6 and my edirol FA-66 worked fine recording with it.
    the problem is with recording and not with anything else.
    any help would be appreciated,
    Jordan

  • Will ensoniq vfxsd work with garage band?

    I recently dusted off an Ensoniq synthesizer and am trying to use it with G-band. I have the midi out from the keyboard going into a midisport 2X2 and then a USB from midisport to my mac. When I open G-band I see that the midi is detected, but it doesn't appear as one of the input choices. Should it?
    Or what else might be wrong?
    thanks,
    Karen

    I think what's happening is that the keyboard is not being properly recognized by the interface.
    i'm not a MIDI expert, but as far as i know, MIDI is MIDI, and has been a standard format for a rather long time.
    So my computer sees the midi interface, but doesn't know what device is connected to it.
    the computer would never know what is connected to the interface, that's the idea of an interface. the computer only sees that connected to itself.
    I guess I'll just patch the audio outputs from the ensoniq into my little iMIC
    that will definitely work, but the MIDI connection should work too, it woudl be ncie to know why it's not

  • Are there ANY firewire interfaces that work with 24" imac 2.16 Core 2 duo?

    This is really getting frustrating. I have now tried and failed at getting both an m-audio profire lightbridge and a TC electronic studio konnekt 48 to work on this computer. Both interfaces were tested with Leopard and Tiger, no success.
    My computer is NOT the aluminum imac, it's the earlier whiteface version, so it's supposed to have the TI chipset(I've been told that the aluminum imacs don't work because they have a agrere chipset....) The firewire port works fine with an external hard drive, but no one seems to be able to write software drivers that work.
    If anyone is successfully running a firewire interface with this model computer please let me know what OS you are running, the interface, and what software you are using.
    I'm starting to think that the problem is on apple's end, it shouldn't be this hard for third party manufacturers to write reliable drivers. both m-audio and tc electronic's forums are littered with complaints about bad drivers for the last year or so.
    Message was edited by: MNMinstrel

    Yildox - I've been doing a little more research... Your imac has a known problem, it's the particular firewire chipset it uses, made by Agere. The older white versions have a Texas instruments chipset, which is supposed to be better, though I haven't had any success with mine so far in the audio interface department.
    I really think that the problem is bigger than that though. Everyone having a problem with a firewire audio interface seems to have one similarity, a mac made in the last 2 years running OS 10.4.9 or later.

  • Unable to get Saffire Pro 26 audio interface to work with Windows 8.1

    Can anybody help with compatibility issues between Windows 8.1 (64 bit) and Focusrite Saffire PRO 26 audio interface? I'm using a Firewire PCIe Card. Focusrite registration page pointed me to an installer called saffire-pro-2.61.exe. This installer times
    out on a page called 'Installing device driver (1 of 2) waiting for the Saffire PRO to be connected to the computer (The Saffire Pro device is connected and a powered up and appears in the Device Manager as a device called Focusrite SAFFIRE_PRO26 which is
    listed under the Other devices section of Device Manager with a yellow exclamation mark which appears to be a catch 22 (after all I'm trying to install the drivers). No answer from Focusrite support (due to holidays). Many thanks for any help you can give
    (particularly if someone knows that it should work!).

    Brilliant. This has moved me on.  I wasn't impressed when Focusrite registration presented me with drivers from 2011. You'll probably tell me finding the latest drivers is easy but somehow I failed to find anything in my panic. I have a second issue
    now (Pro Tools 11.2.2 could not initialize the Saffire) but your response seems to have solved the first issue. Thanks!

  • Mobilepre audio interface not working with logic express 8

    I have been using an M-AUDIO usb interface for garageband for the last year,i recently installed logic express 8 and i just can't get any sound whilst trying to record,logic displays a signal in the channel strip but no sound comes from my monitors,only when i plug the ear phones into the interface can i hear what i'm recording.I've tried every trouble shooting option in my apple pro training book like monitoring and audio preferences.I've contacted M-AUDIO but they just put me on hold as if there really busy!!!
    in the end M-audio emailed me and blamed logic,they told me to contact apple,W@**ERS!!
    I'm new to this apple discussions business and hope someone can help!!

    Welcome to the wonderful world of M-Audio!!! Now, what you are doing is perfectly NORMAL. You need to hook up speakers to your audio interface. Where the little diagram says so:
    http://www.m-audio.com/layout/imgview.php?i=/images/en/connectivity/big/mobilepr eusbcd779px.gif
    See? The reason this is so, is because when you are using this interface, you are BOTH using the inputs AND outputs. Logic always works like this, it is a requirement to use "a full-duplex sound card" which means a sound card that has inputs and outputs.
    I've tried every trouble shooting option in my apple pro training book like monitoring and
    audio preferences.I've contacted M-AUDIO but they just put me on hold as if there really busy!!!

    M-audio blaming everyone else is not new, however, your "issue" is a user issue, not a gear issue.

  • Recording Interfaces that work with Logic Studio

    Hey there! I'm pretty much a noob to Logic Studio. I've been using garageband and reason 4 before that. I've had an M-Audio Fast Track that worked alright with Garageband, but it won't work with Logic, at least for me. I did some research and found out that this happened for most people.
    So I was wondering, what's a good recording interface that would work well with Logic (which should then work with garageband) that works very well and worth the money that's paid for it?
    Specs:
    Macbook Pro
    version 10.5.2
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Thanks alot.

    Welcome to the forum jareddddddd, i do believe the problem your having with the M-Audio is the the drivers for intel, at the moment are Beta drivers.
    Beta meaning they are going thought testing and isn't official drivers, therefore it might work or it might not.
    As flood123 said the Duet will be much better, compare to low end M-Audio interface, which will sound far better and integrates well with Logic.
    Also Fire-Face by R.M.E is a good interface, almost forget to mention Lavry interface which sounds way better than the two already mention that's only my opinion though.
    Personally i have found it to be my preferred choice compare to Apogee low end interface that hasn't got the C77 clock work that Apogee flag-ship interface has, such as the Rossette 800 and AD/DA 16 carries.
    Try and find a local music store and try out a few interface that is hook-up to L.P. by Fire wire and maybe you'll have a better choice in choosing.

  • Audio Interface that works for the new 10.6.7 Mac software?

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and I am having trouble finding an Audio Interface for recording vocals/guitars that will actually work!!  Most of these companies have not worked out the driver for them yet....Thanks

    In addition to Stedman's spot-on reply --
    When you buy an upgrade disk, all updates in that OS can be found on Software Update.
    For instance, I bought Snow Leopard at 10.6.
    All other updates have been free and downloadable.  So I'm not a 10.6.7.
    10.4 (Tiger) went to 10.4.11.
    10.5 (Leopard) went to 1.5.8
    10.6(Snow Leopard) is currently at 10.6.7.
    Now, when Lion come out (the next major upgrade of OSX), I will have to pay to go to 10.7.
    After that, updates are free til 10.8 comes out.
