Delays with Powerbook G4 Garage Band, MIDI,

So whats the deal here? Im using the midi keyboard and there is a super slight delay, its buggin the crap out of me...Does anybody have any ideas? I have the newest powerbook and theres a ton of memory and no programs are running, jus garage band.

super slight delay
The key words are 'super slight'. I find the latency using my usb2 keyboard so slight that it in no way interferes with my rhythm. (notice my specs). I have noticed less latency using my M-AUDIO - Keystation 49e controller. I was using a MIDI Sport interface connected via MIDI cables to my other keyboard. The Keystation seems to take one step out of the process and I notice a slight improvement in the note entering.
What type of connection are you using? While there will be less latency because of your processor, usb 2 is still usb 2. The speed of notes registering in your computer depend on the connection. Firewire interfaces should be faster and Firewire 800, even more so. I am very satisfied with usb2's speed and latency. I can play fast passages and stay in tempo easily.
The other thing to consider are effects. I record everything dry, unchecking every effect box.

Any reason my mac air didn't come with iphoto or garage band?

Aren't macs supposed to come with iphoto, imovie, garage band?

This is iPhoto for iOS (e.g., the iPhone, iPad, etc). You might want to post your question in the proper forum.
But to answer your question, yes, you should have received a disk with the iLife software included, or it should already be on your HDD. Have you checked your applications to be sure?

I have the latest version IPAD. In Garage Band I am trying to import karaoke songs purchased on itunes so that I can sing with them via garage band. In Garage Band, when I try in import a song from Itunes, nothing comes up? How do I do this...?

Make sure you understand the difference between an Audio File and a GarageBand Project File (also known as GarageBand Song File)
The + sing in the My Songs page is for opening a GarageBand Project File, either a new one or one that is copied vie the iTunes File Sharing mechanism. If I understand you right, then you want to import an Audio File from your iTunes library in a GarageBand Project and not open an existing GarageBand Project.
To import an Audio File from your iTunes Library to an existing GarageBand Project.
Make sure you sync your iTunes Library (all songs or a selection) to your iPad. This is the standard procedure so you can listen to your iTunes Library on your iPad (this step has nothing to do with GarageBand yet)
Once you are in your GarageBand Project, tap the Loop Browser icon (the ribbon) to open the Loop Browser
The misleading part here is that this window can display three tabs, not only the Apple Loops. It also displays any synced audio file via the iTunes Fle Sharing (the tab is labeled "Audio Files) and also any songs that you have synced to yoyr iPad that I just described. This tab is now called "Music".
Look at the screenshot of my previous post. The Music tab provides the same browsing capabilities (Playlists, Artist, etc) as your iTunes.
Navigate to the Kareoke Song (audio file) and drag it onto a GarageBand audio track
I explain all those details and concepts in my GarageBand book
Hope that helps

Garage Band MIDI conflict

Hey there,
Has anyone here ever had a problem getting into Garage Band with this popping up?
"garageband has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party MIDI or audio drivers"
it says I have to figure out how to delete old MIDI drivers but i have no idea where i start with that.
Can anyone HELP??
Thanks!

I'm getting this problem too, and can't figure out from any of the above tips how to solve it. What do you mean "using an interface"? Yesterday I installed the latest version of "SoundSource," a simple chooser that switches between my EDIROL stereo output and my Logitech headset.
The only "driver" in my HD>Library>Audio>Midi driver folder is called EmagicUSBMIDIDriver.plugin, and I put it in a temp folder for several startups and had the same probs.
Garageband launches, shows the "midi driver conflict" error, will not play at all, and then hangs on Quit, so I have to force quit to get out of it. Also removed all the pref files suggested above, again no luck. Why is it doing this all of the sudden?
Next steps: Reinstall GB? Stuck in the middle of production!!!!!

Upright bass player help with plug into garage band

no, i'm afraid you can not play GB's pianos with your upright bass, you need a MIDI controller

Delay after song in Garage Band

ok, so i recorded a live DJ mix set (on vinyl) onto Garage Band. it came out great, crisp, clear, yada yada yada. i break up the big long song file into each song part (there are 4 in total) and i send them to my iTunes.
here's the problem....
when i play the songs and it's about to switch over from one song to the next, there's a gap! ahh! now, ask ANY DJ, and they'll tell you that they HATE any kind of delay inbetween songs. i wanted it to go right into the next one, but i can't have that because of the delay. how do i get rid of that? does anyone know? i tried taking the song from iTunes, opening it up in Garage Band, deleting the delay at the end, and it STILL put it on back in iTunes...
help! please! someone!

To set the pause length between songs:
Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Click Advanced and then click Burning.
Choose a setting from the Gap Between Songs pop-up menu.

Garage Band midi regions into Logic?

I know I can open up a garage band file directly into Logic but can I drag and drop midi regions from GB to Logic? I'd try it myself but I'm at work and I've only got Logic at home.

I'm pretty sure you can not drag and drop between the two open applications. You can, however open up your GB project in logic, and drag it to another Logic project that you have open.

How to transfer Garage Band to new computer with all selfmade stuff

I just got myself a new macbook pro with of course garage band preinstalled.
I transfered all my .band projects from my old macbook and the loops i made too.
i put the loops in the same directory as they were on my old macbook hd/library/audio/apple loops/user loops/ but garage band didn't find them so i manually mooved them into the loop browser in garage band.
only problem: i have to mark them all as favorites again and whenever i open an old .band project for the first time gb has to search for each one again.
can you tell me how to do it better next time?
but now to the more important and current problem:
where do i find my selfmade software instruments on my old macbook and where do i have to put them on my new one?
and is there anything else i might need from my old gb that i didn't think of?
thanks,
paul

The best way would have been to use the Migration Assistant - it would have moved your whole user folder and your personal stuff over to the new computer.
About the instruments: There could be two Instrument Library folders, under HD/Library/Application Support/GarageBand and User/Library/Application Support/GarageBand (depending on whether you made the instruments available to all users.) If the other GB is a standard installation of the same version, you can just replace the folders on the new computer with the ones from the old machine, and all your instruments should be there. (The "if" refers to the fact that by doing this you lose all custom instruments you might have made on the new computer.)

Uninstall Delete World Book and Garage Band without problems i.e Iphoto

With only 30GB, I want to free up space. I am concerned that by just dragging these two files to the trash, I will have problems (as mentioned in other discussions).
Can someone tell me "definitively" how to accomplish this without problems. According to the info on file report, these two programs and associated files take up probably 3-4 GB.
Thanks so much in advance for any guidance.

I know of no problems with iPhoto and trashing World Book.
Hwever, some folks have had problems with iPhoto when Garage Band is trashed - it fails to launch.
My suggestion is to keep Garage Band (the app itself, minus language resources is only about 80MB) but by all means trash the associated Sound Loops - which is where the Gigs of space go. In fact, trashing the app won't remove these - they're in an Application Support Folder.

An Apple that runs garage band?

What is the cheapest Apple laptop (it can be an old laptop that I could buy off of ebay or something like that) that comes with/can run Garage Band? I am 16 with a budget of about $500 and I currently have a PC, which does not run Garage Band. The main purpose of the laptop would be for creating music as well as basic typing documents and the internet. Thanks for your help!
icky PC Windows 2000

I would say _at a minimum_ you'd want a 1Gc machine with at least 1GB of RAM.
If you don't need the portability of a laptop, you'll be able to get a lot more out of something like this mac mini, and if your PC has a USB keyboard, you can use the Keyboard and monitor from that.
GB will run on older hardware, but you'll run into limits quicker.
Just a suggestion. ~~HangTime V1.9.9.9.7 [Will Compute for Food] B-)>

Help...garage band unexpectedly quits on launch

Hey all,
Can someone help me with this? Garage Band unexpectedly quits as I launch the application. Can somebody recommend some steps?
thanks!
Redsteve

The most frequent cause of quits:
Expired demos
Incorrect installation of Garageband.
Have you tried any plugins recently?
Did GB come with your machine or did you install it yourself and how did you do it?
[If you copied the app: Garageband installs files all over the place. Simply copying the app from another computer will not work and usually causes problems. It is best to install it from your CD.]

Sony mini disc to garage band

I have a sony mini disc and have downloaded the digital audio to my powerbook g4 garage band in the past by cable - sony md headphone to powerbook optical line in.
However --- for some reason (I wonder if it's because I accepted a garage band upgrade), I am unable to record to garage band....??
I fear that it is user error somehow.
Any help???
thanks!
Laura

Hi Laura
I use a Sony mini disc to record audio and I connect it's line out (my has
both optical and electrical out in the same connector) to the mic in on my
Mac. This work's nicely in iMovie at least.
(One can import the audio in iMovie and then save as QT (expert setting) and
as .aiff sound only to be used in eg. iTunes or Garageband.)
This might need QT-pro upgrade.

Delays w garage band live with external USB mike

I'm using an external USB mike into a Macbook pro with garage band running as recommended with monitor on. (Mac's earphone port cabled to input of a Marley "Get together") After anywhere between 7-15 minutes a delay occurs. When initially investigating this set-up, I did notice someone dealing with such delays. Could someone please put me to rights? Bern

It will be a little clearer. Play around with the mic position to see if you can minimize the background sound. I believe the six "ticks" you heard were the count-in. You can turn that off via the Control menu.

I am trying to connect my ipad version of garage band to my mac book pro so as to record directly from the ipad as a midi instrument but with no success. Can you help?

I am trying to connect my ipad to my mac book pro. I want to use the ipad as a software instrument (playing from garage band) and to record in garage band on the mac book. I have plugged the ipad in, turned on the ipad and opened up garage band but the mac book pro has not picked it up. Why? Any suggestions.

Maybe it should, I'm all PC here so I can't actually test it myself. As far as I can recall all the stuff I've read has GarageBand for iOS acting as the recording instrument in the MIDI relationship rather than an input device for something else.
Could be worth posting to GarageBand for iOS Feedback and suggesting it as a feature.
