Error Garageband - can't sync midi and audio

I have no midi attached but still get an error message "Can't sync midi and audio".
All I am trying to do is record a voice-over using the built in mic on the iMac.  But this error message keeps popping up constantly.  I close it and then 10 seconds later it pops up again.
Why is garageband trying to sync a mid that I have not connected?

Hi!
Enable all audio tracks (R) you wish to record. Then make sure you select the audio instrument you are using on the left of the arrange page (track list). If you here your input, hold shift, then highlight (gray) the mentioned audio tracks you wish to record on. When R is red, and the proper tracks are grey, you can record. Hope that made sense!

  • Can't Record Midi and audio  Simultaneously

    I just noticed that I cant record audio and midi simultaneously. I wanted to record a audio vocal track as I was recording a midi piano track but it wouldn't record. If I selected the audio track, the midi track wasn't heard. If I selected the midi track, I could hear the piano, but the audio wouldn't record. Weird. I had to record the midi track, and then go back and arm 2 audio tracks for recording. One for the vocal and the other to convert the midi track into a audio track. I don't understand why I can't record midi and audio at the same time. I am using a MOTU 896HD for my audio, so I can record up to 8 audio tracks at a time.
    Does anyone have any clues as to how to set this up to record midi and audio at the same time?

    Setup your audio and midi tracks and then hold the shift key and hit the record button on each of them. Both audio and midi will record.

  • How do I resolve Playback Error Message: "Problem syncing MIDI with audio."

    I recently bought the Nexus2 instrument. After backing up all my files last week, the Nexus content wasn't being read (it aparently got moved somehow), and I had to contact their support to resolve the problem. As soon as that problem got fixed, Logic quit playback altogether. Everytime I hit Play, I just get an error message that says "problem syncing MIDI and audio," and the the only sound coming out of the speakers is a high-pitched humming. How do I go about fixing this?
    thanks,

  • Midi and Audio tracks simultaneously armed for recording

    All, whilst engaged in laying down the bass track for the guitar solo section of my latest monster his, I encountered one of those sorts of frustrations that makes one long for some means of swift egress from this mortal coil, this vale of tears: that is, while laying down my totally awesome bass track that when they hear it will send JP Jones and Boosty Collins to employee as actuaries, I kept getting the hateful "unable to synchronize the audio and midi error." I'll spare you the catalog of the various lame attempts I understood to remedy this problem, as well as the curses directed toward my fate, and Daw ineptitude in general. Then I nnoticed that both the software instrument tracks (Addictive drums) and the audio track (aforementioned bass) were both armed for recording, signified by the red R in the track header! Well, upon de-arming the software instrument track I was able to record by bass line in a mimimum of takes, and as visions of illegal intozicants and comen of questionable morals dance through my noggin as recompsense for my trouble, with to make the point to all relative newbies such as myself that the answer to problems that seem on surface intractable as usually staring you right in the glazed eyeball.

    What?...
    I'm sorry maybe I don't understand everything you are sayng... but I can replay to the titles of the Topic!
    Actually recording a MIDI instrument and an Audio Track symultaneously comes with serious bug!!!
    you cannot use Punch-in on Fly when an Audio and instrument track is armed at the same time...
    or better you can but the MIDI and audio output will be dropped for a moment
    Provide a Logic feedback
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/logicpro.html!
    THIS IS A LOGIC 8 BUG!!! BIGGEST SERIOUS BUG!
    I suggest you to use Logic 7 when you need that!
    Thank you so much for remember me this..
    I'm sorry no alternative solution... or.. if you have 2 Macs you can use one for Logic MIDI and another one for Logic Audio!

  • Experiencing Delay Between Midi and Audio MOTU 828 Mk1

    Hi everyone
    Wondering if somebody can point me in the right direction. I'm using an Intel iMac running Leopard 10.5.8 and Logic 8. I just got hold of a MOTU 828 MkI and am experiencing a severe delay between midi and audio.
    Clock source is set to internal in the 828 settings and sample rate is set at 44100, so that's all as it should be.
    I'm at a loss has anybody got any ideas?
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    I assume MIDI is earlier than audio.
    Do You have plugins in busses and or master outputs?. Try to disable them and see if that still happens.
    Here I had issues with 9.01 that aren`t plugin related and had to reboot to solve it. I upgraded to 9.02 and didn`t see them again (yet.)
    If you HAVE to have your plugins in the busses and master and still want to have your MIDI properly aligned... Well you´re asking too much, my friend. Write a polite letter to Apple telling them if they´re joking calling Pro to this app that can´t keep two basic features in sync. BTW: same happens with video (at leat in L8. Didn`t check 9 with that yet)
    After that, breath deeply and use the input objects to route your midi instruments inside Logic. Then they´ll be in sync, but at the price of loosing all their analog warm. Weird, isn´t it?

  • Syncing video and audio

    I have been syncing video and audio into a sequence and using those sequences in a new master sequence. Is that the right way to do it? Is there a way to have the video and audio in a useable clip? I could not find this information in the manual, but if I missed it can someone refer me to the chapter that covers this topic.
    Thank you

    you can set in and out points for both the video and audio clips in either the viewer or in the browser, then select the two, right click - merge clips (or Modify/Merge Clips if you prefer the menu.)

  • Help please:How do I solve "Unknown Error -53 Can't Sync (My) Ipod"

    my Laptop was stolen.. it had my iTunes on it.. I have another computer so I down load iTunes but it does not seem to want to recognise my iPod saying "Unknown error -53 Can't Sync (My) iPod. Help appreciated. Friendly shake hands. R

    Thank you, but I did that. I de-selected and then re-selected but because the 13019 still won't allow the sync, all it did was completely delete everything on my Ipod!  I now have no songs on my Ipod when at least before, I had all my songs but the new 12 songs!  I'm freaking!

  • USB/Firewire Interface for MIDI and audio (Garage Band)

    I want to connect a Roland Handsonic (electronic drum) and Shure microphone to a Mac Pro for recording in Garage Band. What is the best USB/firewire interface for MIDI and audio?
    Mac Pro desktop   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    If you click one of the links you can read all about it in depth.
    three guitarists
    That's not what you asked for B-)>
    Once you want more than 2 audio inputs, the prices start jumping up dramatically.
    would this be the best interface to use?
    If you really want "Best" then it's a simple answer:

  • Logic i/o midi AND audio?

    im trying to use the Logic i/o plug in , not sue if im doing it right?
    I have a sound module thats going into my 828mk2 inputs (11&12) and midi set up.
    I can play the module fine from Logic but i thought that when you used the i/o plug in you could set up ONE track to use (like a internal plug in) that became the midi and the audio in order to record the track?
    Do i have to record on a MIDI track the part from the module and then use a different audio track to capture it?
    Im sure once i used a instrument track with the i/o on it and it became a midi/audio track all in one for outside gear? so i could record/midi all within the one track?
    Am i being stupid?

    so how do i use the external instrumnet and the i/o together?
    External instrument on the instrument slot on a software instrument channel. This handles both MIDI and audio routing. What do you want to use the I/O plugin for? If you want to route to external hardware, then put the I/O plugin on one of the FX inserts on that software instrument channel.
    Can i make my hardware become like a VST? and if using both utilities can i render a file to audio like i can a vst?
    No, you have to record it in the conventional way.
    or does it have to be real-time bounce only?
    Yes, external instruments have to be played in real-time. Logic cannot yet speed up the universe to perform faster than realtime bounces - at least, not in Logic 8...

  • Midi and audio in quartz composer.

    I am fairly new to quartz composer. Does any one know how to set up the midi input or controller in it? I can set up a basic image, but it will not respond to me playing my midi keyboard. I am so lost.

    You just select Midi and Audio tracks while holding down the shift button. Arm both tracks->select the Midi track first (click into track header) ->hold down shift->select the Audio track->both track headers turn grey->record->have fun...

  • How can I sync contacts and calendar via iTunes 11.1.8 to iOS 3.1.3 (iPhone 1)?

    I am proud owner of an iPhone 1 and it still works fine, but runs on iOS 3.1.3. I updated my 2 year old iMac to Mac OS X (10.9) and I am now using iTunes 11.1.8. Actually, I bought my iMac because I was so enthusiastic to see how smooth syncing with my iPhone worked. Now, since OS X, I can not sync calendar and contacts anymore. I had to reset my iPhone and start from scratch, so contacts and calendar are empty.
    Sync via iTunes does not work anymore because Apple deleted the direct sync function and my iPhone's iOS does not support iCloud.
    Sync via CalDav does not work, beause for some reason my iCloud account is not approved when trying to create it in mail/calendar/contacts (I tried several times, crosschecked, all data appear correct to me and work in the browser access).
    Sync via Google does not work, because obviously, my iOS does not support their calendar and contacts function.
    Sync via Windows PC might work, but I would have to set one up from scratch.
    Downgrading to iTunes 10.7 failed, because OS X didn't allow it. Downgrading the Mac OS might be an option, but I am already running e.g. Books and using it a lot.
    Any help is welcome.
    Iris
    P.S.: I still remember Steve Jobs saying "it simply works!"

    Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

  • How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
    Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
    Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

  • Can I sync podcasts and ITunesU. from one computer to another that both have the same acount.

    Can I sync podcasts and ITunesU. from one computer to another that both have the same account.

    No.  Time Machine won't get your boot camp partition back.  There are excellent utilities that move entire hard drive contents among hard drives such as SuperDuper! and CCC, but as far as I know they don't work with boot camp partition.  My suggestion: reinstall Mac OSX on your new Mac (you don't want to hold Option key to start it everytime anyway), partition it with boot camp exactly (or similarly) as you did to your previous Mac (install the same operating system, which should be one of the Microsoft Windows I assume).  Use Migration Assistant as kaz-k suggested to move all the stuff on the Mac partition of your previous Mac.  Reboot both your Macs from the boot camp partition - I assume they are all on Windows platform.  Now you have two computers on Windows platform.  Use Norton Ghost or similar tools to migrate all the stuff from your old machine to your new machine.  Hope this helps.  Backup all your data before such operation.  Good luck.
