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!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

How to import midi files into garage band for ipad

I have the newest iPad and installed Garage Band. I don't have a MAC computer, only Windows machines. I want to use the iPad to send the midi files to a Roland 150 keyboard to make it play the music. Is this even possible? The Roland has Midi In and Out ports and I have the camera adapter kit and a Yamaha UX16 USB to Midi cable.

You cannot export midi files from GarageBand, sorry. You can only share audio files in aac-format or GarageBand project files, and both are not midi. See what is currently supported: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.2/index.html#chsec12c387

Yamaha KX61 USb MIDI keyboard doesn't work in Garage Band

I have installed latest Yamaha USB-MIDI driver V1.2.0 for Yamaha KX61.
I have connected USB cable to Mac Mini and turned the keyboard on.
In Other section of System Preferences I can see an icon for Yamaha USB-MIDI. In there I can see Device Name: Yamaha KX.
Yamaha KX61 is visible in Audio MIDI Setup utility under Midi Devices tab with Port 1, 2 and 3.
In GarageBand application Audio/MIDI preferences it shows "3 MIDI inputs detected" but Audio Input gives 2 choices only: System Setting and Built-In Input.
When I turn Keyboard off, Garage Band responds with message "The number of MIDI inputs has changed. Now no input is available." And then it shows MIDI status: 0 MIDI Input(s) detected.
When I turn Keyboard on, Garage Band responds with message "The number of MIDI inputs has changed. Now 3 inputs are available." And then it shows MIDI status: 3 MIDI Input(s) detected.
I don't understand how to get the keyboard play with Garage Band when adding new software instrument tack.
If anybody able to use KX61 in Garage Band, please share your experience.

Hope its ok to answer you own question.
Just buy the Apple "Lightning to usb camera adapter". Plug it into the ipad 4 and plug your usb male A cable from the midi keyboard into it and fire up the apps. Works fine--I just tested it. You must have a keyboard or other usb device that requires very little or no power from the usb port in order to work. Also, it must not require a usb driver. See iosmidi.com/devices for a list of devices that should work.
A lot of investigation (not on any apple site) allowed me to glean out this information.

Best Midi Keyboard for garage band?

Hi
is it possible to import wav samples into garage band, and then assign them to an external beat pad to create loops using an external beat pad?
Also, what do you guys think is the best midi keyboard to get for garage band? (if the beat pad thing works, i want to get a keyboard with a beat pad on it)
THANKS

Here's the link for the M-Audio Keystation 49e 49-Note USB MIDI Controller Keyboard for exactly $89. Oh, and it's Plug and Play, no drivers, no AC power, just plug it into a Mac's USB port.
(And needless to say, I am another happy 49e owner)
Was there a particular reason you were looking at those two keyboards?

Wrong MIDI signals in Garage Band

I bought a cheap MIDI to USB cable from eBay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170884868173 and connected my piano to my Macbook Air running Garage Band. It works when playing separate notes, but chords seem to play partially, not at all, or keys are played once I release them.
Here's an example from MIDI monitor (playing a C chord, then releasing):

Could this be the work of a dodgy cable? Or is there some other settings I should be looking at?

As suspected, it was the cable.
Bought Roland UM-One Mk2 USB MIDI Interface and works 100% fine.

Import midi libraries to garage band

Is it possible to import outsid emidi libraries into garage band? I want to have individual midi instruments, for instance, a solo cello or solo trumpet, is there a way to achieve this in Garage Band?

The easiest way to extend the range of software instruments in GarageBand would be to buy and install Mainstage 2 from the AppStore (30 US$) . This will include all JamPack and install them for GargeBand as well - the JamPacks bought separately would coast ~500$, so that is really a bargain.
The JamPacks include wide range of additional strings, horns, and other instruments with many articulations, for example:
Alternately you could look at the soundfonts, see HangTime's post here:
How can you add different instruments to garage band

Garage band (2.0.2) and MIDI - weird sound problems

hi, i have just bought a new keyboard (Yamaha PSR 450), as well as a USB-to-MIDI cable, to connect my keyboard to my mac, for garage band. the cable is "m-audio midisport UNO" (MIDI IN/MIDI OUT-to-USB).
when i connect my keyboard to my mac, open up garage band and try to play or record and play, the sounds coming out of garage band are weird. the track was the default software track (piano), but when i played, only about 30% of what i played came out right, the rest was either this (very) high-pitched piano sound or nothing at all, and at random intervals too, e.g. i press 'middle c', and no sound comes out my computer, i press it again, this time it plays, but high-pitched. i press it again, now it plays right etc. etc. there doesn't seem to be any pattern. also, most of the time when it actually played the 'middle c', once i let go, the sound continued for ages, like i had a huge sustain on or something.
what's more weird is, if i have a recording on my keyboard (it has 6 tracks) and press play, the sound comes out perfect on garage band, so it's just when i play "live".
I've been messing around with settings on both my keyboard and mac, but nothing seems to work.
i read in the Yamaha manual that if the USB - MIDI cable is longer than 15ft, there can be "noise and data errors". this sounds exactly like what im getting, but the cable is not 15ft. its about 7-8ft. maybe the cable is low-quality? it cost me £32! -_-
any info or help would be extremely appreciated.
thanks
peace

hey, thanks.
i downloaded the latest driver, but it still has the same problems.
maybe my MIDI setup is wrong.
when i open my MIDI setup panel in the utilities folder, it has:
IAC Driver (don't know what this is, can't really change anything anyway)
Network (again, i don't know what this is for, i havent touched anything)
USB Uno MIDI Interface. i can't change any info on this either, but i clicked it and then pressed "Test Setup" and this short continous bleep noise went off, untill i clicked "Test Setup" again to turn it off. im guessing this means it's working?
i even double checked that the MIDI IN/OUT plugs were in the right sockets in my keyboard!
either garage band doesn't properly support my keyboard or the cable
or
the cable is low-quality and i need to get the recomended yamaha one.
i cant think of anything else that could be wrong. of course i know next to nothing about MIDI so there may be loads of things i have not figured out yet.
are there any free/demo MIDI music software for mac i could download to test it?
thanks for helping
peace

Is it possible to export MIDI files created in Garage Band into Pro tools 9?

Is it possible to export MIDI files created in Garage Band into Pro tools 9?

GB does not support exporting MIDI files, you'd need to open the file with Logic to do that

How can I export midi to pro tools from my iPad garage band

I'd like to take songs I've written in midi on the iPad garage band, export the midi files to my PC which uses pro tools 10 so I can work on them more there, and use the score creator...here is why, when I sit around and write a song on iPad, I'm using virtual instruments, I'd like to be able to first, have more power..ie pro tools..to mix the tracks, then also be able to print sheet music from the midi so I can recreate the midi tracks with real instruments, when I'm writing the stuff with midi on garage band, it's I can't remember what I played where by the time I've moved the midi notes around a little etc etc..and I'd like the actual recording to be real instruments not virtual, as I want a very professional sounding recording.. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

If the folders were created in the Photos app on the iPad, they don't really contain copies of the photos. They contain pointers to those photos that allow them to appear in the albums that you create. Consequently, they cannot be imported to the computer. Those albums are for local organization on the iPad only And cannot be imported.
You should be able to select the indicidual phots that you want to import, as far as I know. I can do it on a Mac using iPhoto or Image Capture, so I assume that Windows will allow you to pick and choose which photos you want to import.

Can Garage Band play an external MIDI synth?

Can Garage Band play an external MIDI keyboard?
I have an external MIDI keyboard/synth.
In Garage Band Preferences I’ve set Input Device and Output Device to my external MIDI keyboard.
I can play the external keyboard with Garage Band in Record mode and it records just fine.
However, when I select Garage Band to play, nothing plays on the external keyboard.
I can set the Output Device to Build-In Output and Garage Band plays the software synth on my computer just fine.
Can Garage Band play an external MIDI keyboard?

Thanks lenoie
What I'm hoping for is for Garage Band to send MIDI out to the external keyboard.
Does anyone know if Garage Band can do this?
Thanks :-)

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:
