Fender Mustang I amp into Garageband for iPad

I am trying to connect my Fender Mustang I amp into Garageband using the USB out on the amp into the Camera Connection Kit (CCK) into the iPad2. I have read of many users being able to successfully do this, but I have had no luck.
The Mustang has been updated with the most recent firmware and software. The USB appears to be functioning properly, as I was able to download the recent firmware update.
The CCK is working fine, as I've tested plugging a camera into it, and the iPad read the camera perfectly.
Garageband is also working fine as well.
I have read NatSci's advise in the "Guitar Inputs" thread, and followed these exactly, yet have not been able to successfully get any input. The only input I am getting is the external mic.
The first time I plugged in the CCK with the Mustang Amp, I received a message of (I believe) "This USB device is not supported".
Anyone have any thoughts on how to get this to work? Thanks.

can you describe the exact rocedure to connect the amp on the iPad ??
i see you have an iPad 2 and the accesorie CCK (Camera Connection Kit)
of course you will connect the right adapter with the USB port on the iPad.
Then you will connect the amp...
and what is next to get this amp working ??
i read about updates and firmwares.
as far as i can read you did the next steps.
1. Updated the amp with latest firmware and software.
2. Turn off the amp and turn it on again (just for sure that the update is fully operate after updating),
3. Update the iPad with latest iOS (for now it is iOS 6)
4. Reboot the iPad (just for sure the iOS is fully operating after updating),
5. Connect the adapter with usb port,
6. Connect the amp to the adapter,
7. Reboot the iPad,
8. Open garageband,
and happy jamming
is this the right procedure to do it ?
(probably step 2 and 4 is not needed, but just to make sure everything is properly up and running)

Is there anyway to record more than one track at a time on garageband for ipad?

Just wondering if that is possible or in the works?

GarageBand for iPad only allows to record on one track at a time. That is the selcted one that turns into the Instrument View where the actual recording is done.
If multi-track recording is in the works, nobody know except Apple and they won't usually pre-announce that kind a things. My guess, it will not be implemented.
Hope that helps

What is the best way to get a tune created in GB for iPad into iMovie for iPad?

What is the best way to get a tune created in GB for iPad into iMovie for iPad?

Haven't done it myself, but seems like the correct workflow would be:
From GarageBand (iOS), My Songs -> select song -> Send to iTunes
From iMovie HD (iOS), My Project -> Insert Media -> select by song name
I'm not sure if GB creates its own playlist for tagging exported songs in your iTunes library so selecting by name would be the next-best method.
Have you tried this?

GB for iPad doesn't have volume automation, you'd need to import the project into GB on a Mac to create the fade with a volume curve.
as an alt, finish your song and export the audio file, then import the audio file in an audio editor and create a volume fade with that:

Trying to connect my Newly purchased Vypyr 120 tube amp into Garageband 11.

Hello, can anyone help?
I'm trying to connect my Newly purchased Vypyr 120 tube amp into Garageband 11.
My Mac sees the Audio in as Vypyr USB Interface but that's where it ends. No Midi input is detected therefore no recording level available.
According to the manual the Vypyr is supposed to be plug and play but I suspect the driver it supplies/uses is out of date with my current Mac OS and
GarageBand 11 on my machine.
Does Garageband allow this to work?
I am using:
Garageband 11 version 6.0.4 (427.84)
Mac OS X 10.7.5
Vypyr 120 Firmware = 1.5.8
Basically evrything is current and new ( The Amp's brand New ! )
What can we do to get things working?
Keep in mind everything is brand new and supposed to be working !
What's going on here why isn't it working as Peavey claims it should be !!
It's very dissappointing !
Regards,
John Okrasa

Thanks for the help isteveus,
Yes it kind of does except the level is extremly faint and no way of adjusting it.
Seems the Amp volume adjusts the headphones but not the recording level in GBand.
My setup as below...
I'm contacting Peavey to find out what gives...
Does anyone know if there's some way of adjusting the recording level in such a setup/situation ?

How do I copy a GarageBand for iPad part from one song to another?

Surely this must be an obvious thing, but I see no way to do it.
I am working on 2 versions of song on my iPad. I want to copy a part from one song to the other.
I know I can duplicate the entire song, but that is not the same.
I really need help on this one and I'll be most disappointed if it's a basic feature Apple have not provided - I'm writing a soundtrack and at the moment and bought the app and to some extent the iPad especially to write on the road, but this will mean we have to abandon GarageBand for iPad entirely if its not possible.
The other secondary question is why can't you copy parts (using Sonoma copy/paste or similar) OUT of GarageBand into other apps? Another basic function Apple should not have skimped on. This is necessary to, say, apply an effect externally and bring it back to GarageBand for mixdown. I'll raise this separately too.
Thanks!

Hi Here is a guide I wrote about bouncing tracks in GarageBand for iPad. You could use the methods in here to bounce the track you want to open in another app in to Hokusai , into your other app, and then back into GarageBand. I hope this helps! Cheers

How do you open Garageband for iPad files with Garageband?

I was led to believe that Garageband could open up Garageband For iPad files, but not vice versa.
However when a friend sent me his Garageband For iPad file, and I tried to open it, a "compatibility updater" started running then stopped halfway through and told me Garageband was "unable to complete the download" and directed me to go to Apple help.
Here I am.
Anybody got any idea how to open (and work on) this file?
Tank you in advance.
-Dave-id

Apparently there were a two updaters I had to run first, before letting the compatability updater do it's thing.
And since I got my Garageband for Mac through the APP store I could only do my updating through that.
So if anyone else is having that same problem, update, update, update!

I have GarageBand for iPad 2 and noticed that there are far fewer loops for iPad than for apple laptops. Is there a library available of apple loops? I haven't been able to find any if there are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update: An Apple rep called me today to update the status of my return. I was told that the replacements for the BLACK iPad 2's was still another 3 weeks out (at least) so they offered me a brand new WHITE 16GB iPad 2. I could have that or continue waiting. I opted to go ahead and accept the offer of a new white one. Worst case scenario if I don't like the white one I have buddy that just bought a 16GB black one that he would be willing to swap it.

How do I delete audio files on GarageBand for iPad?

In GarageBand for iPad, When I click on the audio files button, there are three songs in there that I have imported to iTunes from my iPad. How do I delete these?

Connect iPad to computer and open iTunes. Select the iPad.
Click on the Apps tab and from there scroll down to the bottom.
There you should see a FileSharing section. Highlight Garageband in the app list and you should see your 3 songs on the "Garageband Documents" box to the right and be able to delete the from there.

Why are chords not in order of I, ii, iii, IV, V, Vi, Vii, in GarageBand for iPad?

In Garageband for iPad, for each instrument such as Smart Piano, the chords that you can play are listed "out of order." For example, in the key of C major, the chords are listed in the order of Em, Am, Dm, G, C, F, Bflat, Bdim. Is there a reason they are not listed in order such as CDEFGABC? Also, why is Bdim even there at all? This might be a newbie question, but I don't have much working knowledge of actual music theory.

Bdim is the VII chord - rather we should ask why is the Bb there! Bb is not in the key of C major!
However, great questions overall for a 'newbie' to music theory!
My guess... iii-vi-ii-V-I-VI-vii is a circle progression - iii-vi-ii-V-I-VI-VII-vii is a circle progression with a borrowed VII from the C minor scale (see below)
the vi–ii–V–I progression is a chord progression (also called the circle progression for the circle of fifths, along which it travels). It is "undoubtedly the most common and the strongest of all harmonic progressions" and consists of "adjacent roots in ascending fourth or descending fifth relationship"
- from circle progression wikipedia article
And also from the circle progression wikipedia article :
'The circle progression may also contain dominant seventh chords."
- Just don't know why they went with a flat! maybe they figure a key change around the seventh chord wouldn't be to drastic and allow some playful dissonance
Try playing that Bb, you'll notice its sounds slightly brighter than all the other chords, has a different mood. That's because its out of key, but just slightly, that it is still usable - its a borrowed chord (wikipedia has article on this too) - and there are not hard and fast rules for what you can and cant play! In music theory, this is known as a non-diatonic chord.

Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?, Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?

Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?

The tempo setting applies to the whole song, but only to the recorded midi instruments or loops. It's a bit of a kludge, but you could record different sections at different tempos, export each as an AIFF file, then glue them together in a new project.
The same goes for the key.

HT4622 How to import .band and .mid files into GarageBand for iOS

Using GarageBand for MacOS X, I have no difficulty importing and playing .mid (MIDI) files. Indeed, I can even rename .kar (Karaoke) files to .mid, import them into GarageBand for MacOS X and see the lyrics along with the score. Using File Sharing for iOS apps in iTunes.app, I have tried to import .mid and .band files (made from .mid files with GarageBand for MacOS X) using this mechanism. I get no errors but it doesn't seem to work. That is, neither the .band file nor the .mid file are accessible from within GarageBand for iOS as far as I can tell. What should I be doing instead?

As I understand it GarageBand for iOS .band projects can be imported to GarageBand for OS X, but the reverse isn't true. GarageBand for iOS does not import midi files.
The File Sharing section of iTunes doesn't validate the files you put into it, but if the app doesn't like the structure of the file it will just ignore it.

If you've previously paid for the iOS version, you can. If you've previously paid for the Mac version but not the iOS version, you can't.
