Can't get garageband to record

I've been trying to use garageband, and no matter what I do it won't record.
I've watched the tutorials and all they do is select male/female then click record and talk, but mine won't record a thing. I have a built in mic and it's working fine because it can recognize my voice to open and switch between programs, I just can't get this application to work.
If anyone has a solution that I may have overlooked I'd be very grateful.

After another half hour of playing with it trying to find results I found out why it was not working. I had to go to preferences>Audio/MIDI>Audio input. After that I had to take it off default, which was Nothing, and put it on the built in Microphone. It's a stupid mistake, I know, I just thought that default would automatically be set on the only microphone that has ever been in contact with the computer, which is the built in one.

Can't get GarageBand to record with line in

I just got my MacBook Pro last week and I bought a Monster 1/4" to 1/8" inch adapter so that I could record my acoustic/electric guitar with Garageband. I know that if you want to use the line in to record, you have to select it in the Sound area of System Preferences, and I have done this. The little bar on that window picks the guitar up, but when I play it in Garage Band, it is using the built-in microphone (I know this because when I unplug the guitar and keep playing, the computer is still picking up the sound) Can anyone help?

You shouldn't, this is only true for intel based Macs. There are still probably many people that don't know this.
Anyway, glad you up and running, enjoy --Hang

I have a recorder that outputs wma files. How can I get garageband to use my wma files?

I have a recorder that outputs wma files. How can I get garageband to use my wma files?

I don't think that GarageBand can use wmas, but there's always good old conversion, and GarageBand can definitely use mp3s. Personally, I recommend media.io for stuff like this, but of course it depends on the size of your files. Otherwise I don't know that there's anyway to get GarageBand to work with them...

How can i get all the records from three tables(not common records)

Hi
I have four base tables at R/3-Side. And i need to extract them from R/3-Side.
And i dont have any standard extractor for these tables .
If i create a 'View' on top of these tables. Then it will give only commom records among the three tables.
But i want all the records from three base tables (not only common).
So how can i get the all records from three tables. please let me know
kumar

You can create separate 3 datasources for three tables and extract data to BW. There you can implement business login to build relation between this data.

How can I get the previous record's field value in a VO

Hi I would like to know how can I get the previous record's field value in a VO
For example : I have a VO porequisitionlinesvoimpl, and it contains 5 records (porequisitionlinesvoimpl.getRowCount() = 5). How can I search all records in the VO and get the field (attribute3) for all records?
Many thanks anyone can help
Lawrence

Hi ,
U can loop through the VO to get the value of attribute3,
need to extend the controller ,use below code
OAViewObject vo = (OAViewObject)oawebbean.getApplicationModule (VO1);
OARow row = null;
int fetchedRowCount = vo.getFetchedRowCount();
RowSetIterator Iter = vo.createRowSetIterator("Iter");
if (fetchedRowCount > 0)
Iter .setRangeStart(0);
Iter .setRangeSize(fetchedRowCount);
for (int i = 0; i < fetchedRowCount; i++)
row = (OARow)Iter .getRowAtRangeIndex(i);
String value = (String)row.getAttribute("Atrribute3");
Thanks

How can i get no. of records in a block?

How can i get no. of records in a block?
please advise me................

if you are looking for the number of records a block can display then use get_block_property -> RECORDS_DISPLAYED, if looking for the number of records the last query returned use get_block_property -> QUERY_HITS

The tutorial that you linked to isn't the best for someone just getting started.
Try the steps in this tutorial ("Basic workflow tutorial"). If any of the steps don't work for you, write back.
I also recommend working your way in order through the items under the "Getting started" heading on this page.

Can´t get logic to record audio

ok, i´m feelin´really stupid here - but it´s true - I can´t get logic to record audio in some songs. the only thing - as far as I´m concerned - that is changed while swaping between songs are the song settings. that´s where I´ve been looking for something that´s been disabling the rec function.
I was working on a song right now which I was recording vocals on a couple of days ago, and now I was going to record some synthstrings (record to audio) and I just can´t make it happen. record path e t c seems to be ok.
please somebody...HELP!!

hi guys!
thanks for takin´time... I solved the problem last night and then forgotten to post what i´m doing now. but I think it´s a bug... (and it´s ok if u don´t believe me...) it´s a bit spooky...
I´ve changed the track icons to that cute little tapedeck (for the audio tracks only - buses, inputs and audio instruments have other symbols). looks nice in the arrange window. (gives me the "feel" of recording...) And the song i was working with has been like this for a couple of months. And I´ve been doing a lot of recording until yesterday when it was not possible...
For some reason i started to fiddle with the track symbol - changing it - and, yes, logic was able to record. At this time I didn´t believe that this was the reason so I changed back to the little tape deck, and yes, recording was not possible. Then I opened an autoload which had the same syndrom (at that time I didn´t bother - I just created another setup), and first trying to record - not possible - then changing the tape deck symbol (yes I used it here too - I really liked it...) and recordning was possible. It seems that if all of logics 64 audiotracks has that (from now on I will call it "ugly") tape deck symbol, at least I can´t record audio (logic won´t go in to record - no matter what - pushing buttons clicking mouse e t c) recording midi was never affected. And the "spooky" thing is that I´ve been recording (with no problems) with all of the 64 audiotracks labelled with that little "ugly" tape deck - until yesterday...
This might just b a wierd thing - but if anyone elese has a problem like this, it might help. I´m not shure weather it´s the tape deck symbol itself that causes the problem, but getting rid of it solves the same problem.
(I´m using a RME multiface and I´m not 100% shure it could have SOMETHING to do with this)
best regards

We are upgrading from 8.3 to 9.2. How can i get the table(record) structure changes between these 2 version

We are upgrading from 8.3 to 9.2. How can i get the table(record) structure changes between these 2 versions. I am not able to find it in Oracle support.

My guess is you want to upgrade HR8.3 to 9.2 - and that is not one jump upgrade. You will need to go HRMS 83 to 90
(PeopleSoft Enterprise HRMS 8.3x to 9.0 Upgrade (Doc ID 747333.1) and then 90 to 92 (PeopleSoft Human Capital Management 9.0 to 9.2 Upgrade Home Page (Doc ID 1536087.1)
Each these MOS pages contains the Demo to Demo Compare Reports that show the data structures changes between the releases.
Hope it helps.

I can't get any audio recording to work in Logic X.

I got a new Imac, an Apogee duet and Logic X.
I just got Logic X and I really love everything about it accept I can't record any audio recordings on it.
I can use my old Logic and garageband files and play around and mix them with no problem. The midi works fine as well coming trhoug my headphones and monitors.
Somehow I can't get the Audio to be heard or recorded. Which is a real bummer since I got only 6 songs left on my new album and it is an acoustic album. I bought Logic so I could master the first 5 and the record the last 6. But I'm stuck with garageband at the moment. Because that actually can record the audio throug my duett with no problem. Then I open the songs up in Logic and master and mix them..
Ay ideas?

If you can record and hear audio in Garageband, it must be down to something in Logic - have you checked the Audio tab in Logic's Preferences and selected your Duet as Output and Input device ?

How can I get my (vinyl) record music into iTunes Match?

I have a rather large collection of music on CDs, Tapes, and records.
Now that iTunes Match exists I would like to include all of my music into my iTunes library.
There is no easy way (that I know of) to load anything except CDs into iTunes. So for the rest of the library one must either buy all the music again or buy equipment to play the music one time and convert it to a newer format.
My CD collection is mostly loaded and since 99.999% (virtually all) of that music is already in iTunes Match it is not uploaded to iTunes again, but it quickly becomes available to play on all my iTunes Authorized Devices.
With the exception of that 1 in ten thousand songs that I may have that iTunes does not have in the Match library there is no reason to import the music at all - other than to prove I have the actual CD's. (In any case I suppose I could have borrowed them for that anyway.)
However for CDs at least they can be imported - but for tapes and records I know of no direct way.
With something state-of-the-art like iTunes Match and my PC(s), iPhone(s) and iPad, why use stone-age-like means to prove ownership of outside-of-iTunes music?
Why not provide some other information to identify albums owned and have them available in iTunes Match without the 99.999% useless step of loading them?
In fact for most tape music it is no longer playable (to convert) as the rollers in the tape devices deteriorate and they no longer play.
Vinyl records play just fine, just not easily into a PC without purchase of expensive equipment that would be used only for the one-time load (which is really just for proof-of-ownership).
What a ridiculous waste of time, energy and funds for that 1 in 10,000 songs that may not yet exist in the iTunes Match library. Okay, as the music gets older it may even be 2 in 10,000 - but I doubt it.
I remember that each album (and 45 rpm single) has identifying information scratched into it (around the inside of the innermost track) - can that (or something else) suffice as proof of ownership to get the music into iTunes Match?
Please respond with ideas to quickly and easily get already-owned vinyl record music into an iTunes Match library.
I personally do not care if 1 (or 2) out of 10,000 of my songs gets lost because it is not in the iTunes Match library - couldn't be that good in that case anyway.
Thanks!!

I too have not figured out how to convert my vinyl collection to iTunes match. Here is what I have tried:
I record my vinyl records onto CD using a Sony RCD-W500C which makes a very high quality recording. I make sure the song lengths are the same as those from the same album at the iTunes store.
Then I import the CD into my iTunes music library. I have to enter the names of the tracks manually because Gracenote cannot identify the names of the songs. I do this while the music is in my iTunes music library and the CD has been ejected from my PC.
Then I try to get the iTunes Match, but it never works. I do, however, get the artwork from iTunes. iTunes then uploads my songs into the iCloud. When I download them back onto my PC and iPhone 4s, I get the identicle recording that I imported onto iTunes. I know this because I can hear the static and crackling of the vinyl. I don't necessarily mind that noise, but I figured if I paid for the iTunes Match I should get the AAC 256 bps music. After all it doesn't cost iTunes anything to give it to me. And there's no way I'm going to purchase all my vinyl records again. I have about 500 albums.
I do buy all my new music from iTunes because I think it is the best system available. I just think it could be so much better if they would let me download the highest quality recording of the music I own from them.
I have also tried the Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio which records my vinyl records into a music file on my PC. But that doesn't get the match either.
THERE HAS TO BE SOMEBODY OUT THERE THAT CAN TELL US WHAT ITUNES MATCH LOOKS AT IN OUR MUSIC UPLOADS THAT DETERMINES WHETHER THEY GIVE US THE MATCH!!!!!!
When you download a CD, there is some information embedded in the CD that iTunes matches. I don't believe there is any information embeded in the vinyl albums, but when I burn them onto a CD-maybe I could add the info onto the CD before trying to match it if I just knew what they looked for.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me on this.

no, you'd need to purchase a boxed copy from someplace like eBay, or Amazon (they sell iLife '11 for $42)

I can't get Garageband 11 to stretch out a note using Flex Time

Hey all
I've recorded with a real guitar using a USB adapter and I can move a note thats in the wrong position OK but I cant stretch out a note to make it longer using Flex Time.
Its the last note of the song. It just always seems to split the note and move it as opposed to drag/lengthen it out.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

I have had the same problem too. Also recorded from a USB guitar interface, but not sure if that is relevant at this point. I have tried a few things to see if I could isolate the cause. Sometimes single shot recordings work right away, sometimes they don't. Somtimes combining clips cause Flextime to stop working. I have completely rebuit a project. Selected individual clips to play solo and exported the result. Took that output and placed it back into a new song and was able to stretch it for the most part. Which led me to believe that it was clip corruption causing the problem. However, while working to get some usable audio clips for a guitar solo, the flextime problems with garageband are starting to make it unusable. Right now I have two clips side by side in the song. I can stretch the timing anywhere in either of the clips. But if I join the clips, flextime no longer works in the joined region. It will only split the notes apart. So if either of those clips were corrupted, flextime would not work in one of them.
I have found ways to get flextime working normally again, sometimes taking up to an hour. Then five minutes later it breaks again. I'm getting really tired of having to recreate my songs to get flextime working again. It would be nice if someone would look into this problem sometime before the year is out.
