  • Setting up macbook pro with garage band and a mixing desk. NEED HELP ASAP!!

    Hi everybody i have an issue which has been an issue for some time now.
    i have a Behringer XENYX1222fx mxing desk, and a new macbook pro with the software 10.6.2 i am also using Garage band 09. when using this i am trying to set up my bass guitar through the mixing desk and the DI box which connects through a usb to the mac.
    i can not get a signal/level come through to the macbook on garage band. i am getting a signal through on the mixing desk but nothing at all on garage band.
    can someone send me the instructions to set it up? is it in system preferences in the input and output i really dont know please can i have as many options as possible.
    Many thanks
    Scott

    Scott, I can relate. It's happened to me too!
    It's time to play signal chain detective.
    First, are you sure you are getting output from your bass? Plug it into an amp and test. (Once I figured out that the battery in my bass had died. New battery: problem solved.)
    Once you know you're getting a signal from the bass, then check to be sure the mixer is outputting the signal. Run the outputs from the mixer into an amp.
    Once you know your bass and mixer are cooperating, then it is time to engage the interface.
    Be sure the preferences for the input to recgonize the interface are set BOTH in GarageBand and the OS generally. The problem is that when you connect an interface, GarageBand will see it and ask if you want to use that or line in. Be sure the interface is selected. For the OS preferences, click on the Apple logo and go to system preferences.
    Finally, you might ask a friend to bring over an Apple laptop to eliminate the possibility of something wrong with your MBP, or lug your gear to his or her house, and try it. (Just remember to leave with all the settings restored to how you found them.)
    If you live within reach of an Apple store, you can go to the genius bar.
    And if nothing works, you can pay for a call to Apple support, or perhaps the support line for the maker of your audio interface.
    Good luck. I know it can be frustrating when you want to make music ad you are spending a lot of time horsing around with the technology.

    Bley,
    Yes, you can use your PCI-6025E and SCXI-1000 with Virtual Bench. Do you have a more specific concern? Have you tried this setup, and it is not working?

  • Can I use a MOTU 828mII interface with Garage Band

    I have a MOTU 828mII interface and I want to use it with Garage band. How do I set it up?

    You should be able to no problem . I might be speaking to fast .. Now you didn't say what your weapon of choice was. An iMac or what.  I use a MOTU 128. With an iMac.
    As I remember you install the software for you MOTU unit. Then go check for the newest driver and install it.
    Now for G.B... look in the preferences for GB ..  Look at the Audio/ Midi settings. There you can select the unit you want.
    Peace ...

  • New to Garage Band and my MacBook Pro

    I was wondering if I can use Garage Band to edit preexisting tracks. I am a choreographer and I would like to edit the songs I use for my dances. Can I do that with Garage Band? Can I drop a sound track into Garage Band and edit it to my liking? How would I do that?

    Of course garageband can do this but it is really meant more for music creation. But you can just drop the 45 minute track into garageband and use the cycle region function to mark a track and export to itunes. If you plan on doing this often check out http://rogueamoeba.com/fission/. If you have Toast from roxio it also comes with software just for this.

  • Garage Band and other Plug-Ins not Working

    My Garage band isn't working. When I click on it the icon just bounces continually and never does anything. It was working fine yesterday. I also have a couple plug-ins, KORG M1 and Wavestation, that I use with Garage band and they are doing the exact same thing. Why am I having these issues??

    There's no Auval or RA or Garritan Personal Orchestra in the Audio Units Manager in Logic Pro. Though Stylus RMX that I also use and Kontakt Player 2 are there and successfully validated. The RA and Kontakt Player component are exactly in the place you said they would be.
    I've since discovered that RA does not in fact work in Logic Express. As for whether it's loading up in Rosetta or PPC version - how do I tell that?
    I really appreciate your help but I'm still stuck at square 1. Any more suggestions?!!

  • Need help with Garage Band 11 and my TASCAM interface recording Real Instrument

    I am using a TASCAM US-122 interface with garage band 11 on a mac at 32 bit running osx 10.6.6.  Garage Band preferences / audio input and output set to TASCAM (which means it recognizes it) , but when using Real Instrument for the TASCAM and the track is armed , etc... the record function works when started except "no sound" from the device I am running thru TASCAM is being detected.
      I am getting sound out of the TASCAM and simply running an AKAI mpc beat as a test.  I am sure there is something simple I have yet to do but not sure what it is in Garage Band. 
      Can you help ?   Thanks. GARY

    with the real instrument track selected...
    make sure the info pane is showing on the right (click the little "i" on the bottom right to open it; "Real Instrument" should be highlighted in blue on top).
    On the bottom of the info pane it says "Input Source" and "Monitor."
    Make sure the Input Source is set to the Tascam channel you're using (the channel, mono or stereo, that you've plugged your MPC into).
    And if you want to hear it as you record, make sure the Monitor is set to ON.

  • Using a Shotgun Mic with Garage Band

    I have Garage Band 09 on my MacBook Pro. I have a USB microphone that works great when I plug in into the laptop to record dialogue, etc.
    What I'm trying to do now is use a Rode Video Mic plugged into the laptop and record dialogue with Garage Band. I have the Griffin iMic USB adapter that accepts the 3.5 plug from the Rode mic and then plugs into the USB port of the laptop. After making sure in my preferences that the iMic is chosen, I can only get a whisper of sound recording into Garage Band. I've tried the different settings on the Rode mic and looked through everything I can think of in the Garage Band preferences and can't get it to record strong, clear sound. I'm aware that a pre-amp mixer probably would do the trick, but I'm trying to find an economical version for now.
    Does anyone have any advice on why I can only get a super quiet recording with this Rode shotgun mic?

    Hey Hang Time,
    Yes, there's the Mic or Line switch on the iMic and it has to be set on the Mic setting when using the external microphone.
    I've been playing with the set up again and it's possible I may have found the problem. I was looking at the Recording Level in the control section of Garage Band and adjusted the recording level up. Now I'm getting a good strong recording. I feel foolish to think it may have been something so simple and relating to "operator error."
    If anyone has any other suggestions or thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

    tornado2003,
    What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
    After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
    Take Care,

  • 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?

    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.

    Hi, Vikas-
    After a brief bit of research, you're definitely hitting upon the limitation of the browsers.  Not all of the browsers have implemented this part of the HTML5 standard, so you're going to either have to use Flash or be limited to these specific browsers.
    Thanks,

    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.
