Define & describe "Noise Gate" Effect for Real Instrument
Newbie question: Can someone do this, or point me to a good discussion of the use of the Noise Gate effect? I searched for this term throughout the GB forum and found very little. I see that it dampens sounds at specific decibel levels, but how might it be used for, say, spoken word audio with unwanted back ground noise? I know the Graphic Equalizer is good for that purpose, but is the use of the Noise Gate related to that?
The way the noise gate works is pretty straightforward: It cuts the audio off as soon as it is below a certain level, the slider determines that level. It's a good weapon of choice for electric guitar if your amp (or amp sim) creates a little hum or buzz that you hear when you're not playing. On spoken word recordings, it won't help you a lot - the quiet parts will be dead quiet, but the speaking passages will remain unaltered and the noise will still be there. And you'll probably notice each time the gate kicks in, which makes the whole recording sound weird. Careful EQing is probably the better choice.

Is there any way to get more effects to add to real instruments? I know you can add more software instruments to the library with jam packs and what not but do they add more effets that you can use on real instruments?

Why do I get so much noise when creating a real instrument track?
Why do I get so much noise when creating a real instrument track?
Creating a real instrument track is a very silent matter normally. Once you start recording, you can indeed pick up noise - but that depends on what you're recording, how you're recording etc. - you didn't tell us anything about it.

Iphone real instruments internal mic
I still use GB in my powerbook. I have not uses the sampled instruments yet. But in iphone am enjoying the ability to quickly use the internal mic for real instrument ideas. saves time the way cassette players used to for easy access when inspiration hits...and the abi;lity to add tracks to the idea is great. are there tips to maximize this feature?
Thanks. I am not sure if I want to pay that much for a 4s. I was scouring through this forum last night trying to see if there is quick remedy since its waste to see a perfectly good phone go away. I hear feedback of my voice and the other caller hears static noise, as soon as I change to speaker phone or use the headset everything is fine.

Setting Real Instruments Problem
I have a problem setting the task info dialog box for real instruments. Although I select Real Instruments on the setup, the task info box shos only choices for software instruments and , I think, master task. Therefore, the box where the input settings are made, is blank. Nothing I do aleviates this problem. If anyone can help me, you can reach me at [email protected]
I think I know what your going through. I had a similar issue with setting up my guitar. If this info is not related to your particular problem simply disregard it as I am no expert on GarageBand and am learning like you. The problem I came across was that I could not get my Instrument to be recognized as the source of sound for the new track I added. To fix this I simply added a new "basic" track rather then simply a new track. GB then recognized my guitar and allowed me to record my instrument, only I couldnt hear what I was playing until after I had turned "monitoring" on found in the information window on the right hand side of the screen. Then by setting the input to channel 1 I avoided making sound come from only one speaker. Maybe you already know this but I just feel like being helpful in my n00b sorta way. GL

Real Instruments - Input Volume
Hi,
I noticed that many USB capture devices have the input volume slider greyed out in the "new track" window for real instruments, although they have an USB controllable input volume. This you can see in the system preferences for audio. Here you see a working input volume slider, but in GB you don't. What keeps GB from giving me the slider? I guess far more than 50% of all USB input devices have this problem with GB. Any idea? This topic showed up some times in this forum but with no satisfying answer. We may need a GB developer here....
Regards
Dieter
PS: I'm a chip developer, no musician. So I know all about USB descriptors and so on...@hang time:
This does NOT answer my question.
Again:
The devices have input volume, which can be controlled over USB.
You see the input volume slider in system preferences and it works there.
But you don't get the slider in GB for this device. Why?
A good example for this is the iMic, amongst many others.

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? The Nio reads hte guitar but GB doesn't....
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. -
Real Instruments Not playing - effects are
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.
Thanks for the suggestions. I can't remember deleting any tracks... however, how would i check for "hidden" tracks?
The funny thing is i can hear the effect returns for the real instrument tracks...tracks that are heavily reverbed i can hear a faint echo of the track. and like i mentioned the drum loop and software piano still play fine.
And, I also see monitor activity in the real instrument tracks when i play the song. Everything looks normal, but of course, the sound isn't there.
Thanks again for your help!

Too many real instruments for a new project?
I keep getting the notification which says "Part of the project was not played - This project has too many real instrument tracks to be played in real-time".
BUT the problem is that this occurs even when I open a new garageband file (i.e. no tracks!) and I'm only 3 seconds into recording the first track! So garageband is basically not working for me. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it to no avail. Just a few months back I was still able to use it comfortably to do edit many different tracks together so I really don't know what the problem is. I don't really know if its a problem with the processor as I barely use the memory on my macbook pro and even when recording CPU usage doesn't go above 20% so I'm really at a loss. Please help!Oh apple support asked me to try that out too but it did not work.. In fact for some of the suggestions they gave (eg using a different user, or even locking the track) it only managed to extend the period of recording to about 10 seconds before the problem resurfaced and after that it was back to the same 3 second problem.
But that is an important clue, Josiah. If you cannot even record properly from a different user account with basic settings, we know that the settings in your user account cannot be causing this - this looks like system wide trouble.
You could run a hardware check over night, to check your hardware:
Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test
and if the hardware check does not show any problems, I'd reinstall Mountain Lion.
See Linc Davis's post on how to reinstall: Re: Garageband doesn't open in Mac Mini mid 2011

Defining Account Determination for Real-Time Integr
Dear all,
I haven't understood yet about Account determination for the real-time integration of Controlling (CO) with Financial Accounting (FI).
Please tell accounting process that use this account. And give me a detail example.
Thanks so much
MinhtbHello
This is the new feature in New GL accounting
During allocations in Controlling, most of the postings created do not affect Financial Accounting. These postings do not update any G/L account transaction figures; they are postings within Controlling. If, however, an allocation in Controlling leads to a change in the functional area or any other characteristic (such as Profit Center or Segment) that is relevant for evaluations in Financial Accounting, a shift occurs between the affected items in the profit and loss statement. For this reason, this information has to be transferred to Financial Accounting. This reconciliation between Controlling and Financial Accounting takes place by means of real-time integration.
As a result of real-time integration, all Controlling documents that are relevant for General Ledger Accounting are transferred from Controlling to General Ledger Accounting in real time. This means that Financial Accounting is always reconciled with Controlling.
A document is created in Financial Accounting for each posting in Controlling. This means that the detailed information contained in the CO documents is always available in reports in New General Ledger Accounting. This information can be sorted by the following, for example:
● Functional area
● Cost center
● Internal order
Real-time integration replaces the reconciliation postings from the reconciliation ledger. Consequently, you do not need a reconciliation ledger.
If, however, you do not set the Reconciliation Ledger Active indicator in Customizing for the controlling area, you cannot use the reports belonging to report groups 5A* (5AA1-5AW1). You set this indicator in Customizing for Controlling under General Controlling ® Organization ® Maintain Controlling Area. The reconciliation ledger serves as the data source for reports belonging to the report groups 5A*. You find these reports in the SAP Easy Access menu under Accounting ® Controlling ® Cost Element Accounting ® Information System ® Reports for Cost and Revenue Element Accounting.
Replacement reports are available as follows:
● You find the reports in the SAP Easy Access menu under Accounting ® Controlling ® Cost Element Accounting ® Information System ® Reports for Cost and Revenue Element Accounting (New).
● You can create additional reports in report group 5A21. You can assign the report group to any drilldown report of New General Ledger Accounting using the report-report interface.
● From the report Financial Statements Actual/Actual Comparison, you can call up the report Cost Elements: Breakdown by Company Code. You find the report Financial Statement: Actual/Actual Comparison in the SAP Easy Access menu under Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® General Ledger ® Information System ® General Ledger Reports (New) ® Balance Sheet/Profit and Loss Statement/Cash Flow ® General ® Actual/Actual Comparisons.
You can define account determination for each controlling area. You do this in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New) under Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) ® Ledgers ® Real-Time Integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting ® Account Determination for Real-Time Integration. In this way, you use the same account determination as for the reconciliation ledger (transaction OK17). You can then use the reconciliation ledger reports to compare FI balances with CO balances.
Prerequisites
If you use real-time integration in at least one company code, you need to have activated company code validation for the related controlling area. You do this in Customizing for Controlling under General Controlling ® Organization ® Maintain Controlling Area ® Activate Components/Control Indicators. Otherwise, the reconciliation between Financial Accounting and Controlling at company code level is not possible.
In Customizing for Financial Accounting (New), you have processed the IMG activities under Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) ® Ledgers ® Real-Time Integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting.
Activate real-time integration for all company codes between which you want to make CO-internal allocations.
In the IMG activity Define Variants for Real-Time Integration, do not select all CO line items for transfer. If the same line items are to be transferred as through the reconciliation posting from the reconciliation ledger, select the following line items:
● Cross-Company Code
● Cross-Business Area
● Cross-Functional Area
● Cross-Fund (if you use Public Sector Management)
● Cross-Grant (if you use Public Sector Management)
Features
Value flows within Controlling that are relevant for General Ledger Accounting such as assessments, distributions, confirmations, and CO-internal settlements are transferred immediately. The FI documents are posted with the business transaction COFI. They contain the number of the CO document. This means that you can call up the CO document from the FI document, and vice versa.
Activities
If a document could not be transferred because the posting period was blocked in Financial Accounting or no account was found, for example, the document is included in a postprocessing worklist. You need to check this worklist regularly and process any documents in it. From the SAP Easy Access menu, choose Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® General Ledger ® Corrections ®Post CO Documents to FI.
Example
An internal order for business area 0001 is settled to a cost center of business area 0002. The document from this allocation is transferred in real time to Financial Accounting.

HELP!! Real instruments sound reverby and warped upon playback
Hey , i'm running garage band 08 with all the latest updates 4.1.2 and i am trying to record an acoustic guitar as a real instrument track. After i record however, it sounds almost like there is some kind of subtle reverb or echo and the instrument just doesnt sound right. My audio Midi settings are as follows
44100.0Hz
2ch-24bit
Using internal mic
On a different macbook pro using all the same settings on both machines i recorded the same guitar and it sounds perfect. I am also not using any reverb or echo or any effects and it still sounds wrong. Is there a problem with my internal mic or am i just doing something wrong with GB setting.
Any help or suggestions would be hugely appreciated
many thanksYeah, check the individual track settings for effects. When you record, you want to record an un-effected signal. You can then manipulate that signal with processed effects of your choice. I usually save the original recordings of each song as the "name of the song 0", and when I experiment w/effects i'll save the subsequent ones as 1,2,3,..etc. You can always go back and combine/re-edit to get what you had in mind. Also, make sure you don't have a big empty room you're recording in. Acoustics in a big room give you natural reverb. Play around with the track, and then the master volumes, as well, when in different rooms of the house.

I have had my iBook for about a month and use GarageBand a lot. Then I went on and wanted to record something and there was nothing listed under "Real Instruments." Is this permanent or is there a way to get the recording styles listed. I hope someone knows.
Thank You,
AmpaudiThose are just presets. You should still be able to create a basic track with no effects without them, I'd think. Could you have deleted them somehow?
They reside in (HD/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Track Settings/Real) inside there there should be a list of folder for each type of instrument (Band Instruments, Vocals, Drums, Bass, Basic Track, Guitars, Effects) and inside those folders are the .cst files that are the presets.
Don't move or change anything in these folders! But you can go there to see if they are indeed still there.
If they are still in there, try logging in as another user and see if they show up and/or repair permissions and run disk utilities and see if that clears it up. -
Real Instruments play beyond end of repeated loop
I've tried every google-fu trick I could think of to see if anyone else has had this problem.
I record a real instrument (say an electric guitar riff). I drag/repeat/loop it 3 or 4 times. It plays properly.
Then at some point I select it, and move it left or right.
The part starts at the right time, but will repeat an extra time beyond the visible onscreen loop. Once this glitch occurs, neither resaving, shrinking/re-repeating, moving it around and then back to where I want it make the track end when it's supposed to.
The only way I've found around it, is to end the repeat early and let the erroneous repeat play out, or just end the repeat entirely, and use cut'n'paste instead.
This happens to me *all the time*... anyone else seen this or have a resolution?Thanks for the suggestions. I can't remember deleting any tracks... however, how would i check for "hidden" tracks?
The funny thing is i can hear the effect returns for the real instrument tracks...tracks that are heavily reverbed i can hear a faint echo of the track. and like i mentioned the drum loop and software piano still play fine.
And, I also see monitor activity in the real instrument tracks when i play the song. Everything looks normal, but of course, the sound isn't there.
Thanks again for your help!

How Can I Turn A Software Loop Into A Real Instrument Loop?
My primary reason for wondering about this is that one of my songs requires a windchime sound throughout...but not too much of one. Just a touch of windchimes. The Orchestra Kit has a few pretty good windchime sounds BUT the natural sustain is too long for what I want. If figure I can get my wisp of a windchime if I can convert my miniscule software loop into a real instrument loop then whittle it down to the sound I want.
How can I make this conversion?Well, Hangtime...You were absolutely right (again!) about messing around with the notes preferred over dissecting them.
I got an absolutely gorgeous windchime sound from applying a couple of carefully auditioned filters and then messing around with the volume at the end of each note. It actually turned out better than I had imagined. It turned out so very nice that I gave it a well spaced looping rhythm and now the windchime is throughout the entire song and the song is better for it.
My dissection effort didn't get a natural sounding windchime effect at all. I trashed it almost immediately.
