Garage Band Audio Drivers

After Upgrading my OS to 10.5.8 from 10.4.1 I am unable to run Garageband '08. When I try to play one of my old projects the following message appears:
! GARAGE BAND HAS DETECTED A POSSIBLE CONFLICT BETWEEN ONE OR MORE THIRD PARTY MIDI OR AUDIO DRIVERS. BE SURE TO INSTALL THE LATEST DRIVERS FOR ALL AUDIO AND MIDI EQUIPMENT.
Can someone please tell me what the latest drivers are and what is a reliable place to acquire them.
I did download and installed PACE drivers, which I believe allow you to open protected files.
Thank you.

Thanks for the prompt reply Cristoph. That is exactly what I did. It turns out there were a few prior discussions
regarding this issue, all advocating for the same method: I went to the Library folder, took out both Digidesign drivers from the Audio Midi Folder created a new folder within the Library and dumped them into it.
Voilå!! Garage Band works again! Thank you.

Garage Band audio with digital AV adapter

When I connect my iPad 2 to the TV via the optional HDMI digital AV adapter, the audio signal from most apps and system sounds is transferred to the TV via the HDMI link - ie I can hear the audio on both the iPad and the TV. The exception is with Garage Band - the audio from this app does not seem to export to the TV. I've searched in the General audio settings and the audio set up of Garage Band, but I can't find anything related to this. Surely there must be a way of configuring this great app so the the audio is exportable?

You need to turn on the 'AirPlay-Bluetooth-HDMI' option in setup within GarageBand. Then it will work.

Lost garage band audio files

i recorded a very important gig last night, and i was trying to arrange the audio into sections, and i cut a few pieces out, knowing i could just undo and get them back. unfortunately, i saved my piece, with those audio files cut out, and now there gone. is there any way possible i can get that audio back?

if you only removed parts of a region, you can just drag the edges back. any region you completely removed, and then saved, is gone.

Garage Band 3 audio into to Imovie HD?

I am not able to export Garage Band 3 audio saved for use in a podcast into iMovie 6.0.1. I would think that this would be possible because both are part of the iLife Suite. Does anyone know any way to get Garage Band audio into an iMovie? Specifically, I am trying to get a recorded voice from Garage Band into iMovie.
Thanks,
Lou

Thanks for the help. Importing into iTunes worked as you suggested. I don't know what I was thinking - - when I saw import to iTunes I thought, mistakenly for some dumb reason, that my track would automatically go to the iTunes music store if I saved to iTunes. I MUST get more sleep.

Recording in Garage Band

Hello,
I can record into GB using my Mac's built-in mic, but when I try to record with an external mic, using a Tascam US-122, although the GB meters show that GB is hearing the sounds, it will not record the sounds. I have downloaded the updated drivers for OSX 10.3 from the Tascam web site, but Tascam doesn't seem to offer any more recent update than that. I am running OSX 10.4.7. Is this version of the OS just too new, or am I missing some technical detail/work around? Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, Tascam US-122 shows up in the Garage Band Audio input and output, as well as in the Sound I & O selections in System Prefs. Negative on Intel. I am using an aluminum G-4 PowerBook with 2 GB of RAM and no other apps open when I am in Garage Band. I am running OSX 10.4.7.
I am now getting a tiny bit of audio output on playback when I record into Garage Band, but only if I turn the output volume up to 11 on the Tascam unit. However the fault seems neither to be the Tascam itself, nor the external vocal mic (a Carvin knock-off of a Shure SM 58). All of the wiring, the connections and the powered speakers are functioning perfectly. If I turn the monitor on and sing or speak into the mic, I get all the volume I could ever ask for out of the speakers, with fine clarity and no static, etc. that might indicate faulty wiring or loose connectors. But when I record into GB with the record levels turned all the way up in the System Prefs Sound pane, Garage Band, and on the US-122, the playback comes out barely audible...even though all the VU meters are maxing out when I record, and the playback level is going off the scale during playback. Any ideas? I am flummoxed.

Skype, Soundflower, and Garage Band

I am trying to record podcast with some people around the country, so that put me with iChat, now I can't talk to people on iChat that are on AIM on a pc, so that's out.
So now I turn to Skype and Soundflower. Soundflower let's me take the audio from the Skype conversation and send it to Garage Band and let's me hear while it till send to Garage Band. Now when I do this I either have Garage Band hearing only me, or only the Conversation without me.
So I said well if Garage Band can have multiple inputs then I can have a track that will be the Skype and a Track that will be my Microphone and it will work great. Now I don't know Garge Band well enough to know how to do this, that is why I aam here.
Settings:
Skype-
Audio Output: Soundflower (2ch)
Audio Input: AK5370 (That's my USB mic)
Garage Band-
Audio Output: Built-In Audio
Audio input: Soundflower (2ch)
Soundflower-
Soundflower (2ch)>
Channel 1: Built-In Audio [2]
Channel 2: Built-In Audio [2]
Soundflower (16ch)-
None (Off)
So that there gives me great sound from the Skype conversation(without me). So as I said before I need a way for Garage Band to have another input for me on a seperate track.
Thanks< Kyle/MicroJupiter

I have no familiarity with either Skype or SoundFlower (other than knowing what the both are), but here's an off the cuff - out of the box - thought.
Does SoundFlower appear to OS X as a virtual Hardware Device?
What I'm thinking, if it does, is that you could create an Aggregate Device in Audio MIDI Setup utility that consists of your 5370 and Skype

Garage band wont work, need to install midi or audio drivers?

tried backing up my comp to install OSX leopard but failed. now garage band wont work! I keep getting this message...also want to know if its possible to upgrade to osx leopard with a 4th gen macbook that runs osx 10.4.11
*garageband has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party midi or audio drivers.*
Be sure to install the latest drivers for all audio and MIDI equipment connected to your computer. For instructions on removing older drivers, consult the manufacturers' documentation.

Im having the same problem, I upgraded my IMAC and was using tiger and I upgraded it to MAC 10.5.7, now GarageBand wont work saying my midi and audio drivers arent correct. My Reason 4.0 wont start either saying the same thing failed to open the midi library. My Protools works fine but I dont know how to update the audio and midi drivers that it matches the software I uploaded. I also went to the audio midi set up and it read, Audio MIDI Setup was unable to launch the MIDI Server. This means that you will be unable to view or edit your MIDI configurations.
Improperly written MIDI drivers can prevent the MIDI Server from launching successfully. If you have recently installed a new MIDI driver, try uninstalling it and then relaunching Audio MIDI Setup. If Audio MIDI Setup works correctly after that, then please contact the driver's manufacturer for further support.

10.5.8 with latest garageband 5.1 with MBOX 1. On Nov 4.09 I did a software update, now i get no output volume or input volume to the computer itself. I get it from head phones from my mbox, but not to the computer. Before the software update It worked great. I've tried upgrading software through digidesign .com, but they dont seem to have one for what i need. any way to get my old garage band back? go from 5.1 to earlier? Or maybe it was the upgrade to 10.5.8. update? Can i go back in time lol?
Any help would be appreciated
BTW
Ive tried all the system sound prefs, and garage band drivers. Back and forth.
cheers

I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab. How do i get these things to show up on my program?

In GarageBand 10.0.2 you can no longer add all kinds of effects freely; this GarageBand '11 feature has been discontinued. Pick one of the predefined patches that already has the effects you want.
However, you can add effects from the predefined audio units.
You'll see the predefined effects on the track, when you open the Smart Controls. To add audio units, click the button and enlarge the the smart controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the Track Area upwards.

Why doesn't Apple supply a simple audio recording app with the iPad? (Garage Band is not simple app)

I am going to be teaching an integrated media production course in the spring semester (creating an online college newspaper) and I want the students to use mini iPads to create images, videos and sound clips. Images and video, no problem. Easy to move to our iMacs in the lab for editing and inclusion in a college newspaper web site. On the other hand, audio is a mess. Sure, I can have them shoot video, import the video into Final Cut on the iMacs and then use Final Cut like an audio editor, but that is pretty lame. They could download Garage Band but that would require all the students to have iTunes accounts, which is a real pain. And moving audio recording made with Garage Band to the iMac is a real drag and way too much work. Why the **** can't Apple include a simple audio memo program in the basic iPad app setup? This is really old school stuff that was on computers way back when. Using Garage Band for that simple function is like swatting flies with a sledge hammer.

Make finding a simple audio recorder the students first assignment. Have them give presentation. Have file a news story to the 'paper'.

Help for a new mac-garage band user-m audio pro setting imput

garage band help says click on preferences, but the preferences menu only will come up at start of project--then can only set audio output to m audio pro-audio imput is blank--so internal mike is usued not imput from m audio.
Somehow I managed to get it to work for one song--headphones from m audio montored tracks-guitar recorded using amp sims--been trying for hours to repeat that but only internal mike now will work.

You should be able to open garageband preferences
anytime. Are you sure your looking under Garageband >
Preferences.
And what interface are you using, is it the Fast
Tracks Pro?
Yes fast tracks pro--I finnaly was able to go to preferences when I exited garage band and openend it up again,but when I was working on the song and clicked on preferences it would not come up

What does "Analyze audio for flex time editing" in Garage Band? It's taking so long(3 days)! and I can't shut down my pc.

What does "Analyze audio for flex time editing" in Garage Band? It's taking so long(3 days)! and I can't shut down my pc.

Did you ever figure out what was going on? i've got the same issue.
I record 2 hour choir practices then edit the talking out to make more useful accompaniments for personal practice. During my editing process my MacBk Pro (0r GarageBand) decides it needs to "Analyzing audio for Flex Time Editing". It will finish doing it and immediately start over again. I can not cancel it so I just have to force quit Garageband and lose eveeryrthing I have editied since my last Save. I've shut my mac totally off and rebooted and to no avail. Any suggestions?

Ridiculously simple audio editing question for Garage Band

Ok, so this is really a fundamental
question. It concerns editing technique.
In analog mixing, the editor put
the sounds to be saved in the right
places on each of several tracks --
narration, sound effects, lip sync,
music, etc. The tracks were then
all locked together and the mixer
adjusted the volumes to either save
or reject audio information.
A blank master received the information
and that was your final product,
in sync, sprocket by sprocket, with
the video.
My question, then, is, how do you
do it in digital multitrack such as
Garage Band? Are you aiming to have
4 or 5 tracks all level controlled
or do you simple erase unwanted
sound, or what exactly do you do,
in post production? If you are going
to do a voice over, then you have to
do a mix at some point, not just a
cut and paste. What's the philosophy,
if you don't mind my asking?
Thanks,
Ed

Wow... you gave me flashbacks to a movie soundtrack I scored, with separate reels of tape all synced up and whirling away for final mixdown!
To answer your question as best I can in a paragraph or two, digital mixing is unlimited compared to analog. Whereas tape has a physical limit, you can always add another digital track (there are limitations to digital, but they are becoming harder to reach as systems become increasingly powerful). So no need to erase. Editing is also a breeze. Digital tracks are endlessly malleable, with virtually every parameter available for automation.
Sometimes you might mix down to stems or mix everything down to a stereo master (or alternative mixes) for post production. Similarly, in post, they can deal with huge numbers of digital tracks from different sources.
In terms of a professional workflow, Logic is the more typical choice over Garageband, and includes a number of features designed for scoring to picture: variable sample rates, frame rates, etc.
Gain staging in digital recording is different than in analog, and it requires a different approach to achieve excellent sounding results. But the digital workflow is so much more flexible, forgiving, and economical, that it has been the death-knell for the analog workflow. Infinite bussing, routing, mixing, comping, storing, stemming... infinite possibilities, really!

Audio-In for Garage Band on new 13" MBP?

Hi
The new 13" MBP's have a combined audio in/out port on the side, unlike the larger models which have separate input and output ports. Is it possible to configure Garage band to take input from a guitar connected to this port (with suitable adapter)? I have tried but got no result. Maybe there is something in the settings that I missed.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm guessing that the adapter you've tried is a 'stereo' mini-plug with three contact bands instead of four.
By observation, Apple earphones _with microphone_ designed for newer MacBook Pros (and iPods that allow recording) have a fourth contact band on the mini-plug.
You may also need to go to system preferences and change sound preferences to select input.
An alternative would be a USB audio device designed for input from your guitar.
