Garage Band Query; I cannot add effects to my automation box, is my programme faulty?

Hello, I wonder if somebody could help me?
I'm using Garage Band after using Logic for years (yeah, I know). When I go to add an effect to my parameters box it doesn't do it. I am correctly following instructions. Is my system faulty?
Thanks,
Mel

Well first off your going to have to backup all your files off the machine to a external storage drive, not TimeMachine and disconnect.
Dont' forget exporting bookmarks, email addresses or product keys, email information, passwords for sites etc.
Next you hold command and r keys and boot into Recovery HD, which is a bootable parittion on the boot drive, like a DVD install disk, but not seperate.
Disk Utility > Select the OS X partition > Erase > Security Option: Zero All Data, this will map off a lot of bad sectors ahead of time, takes a bit.
OS X Lion partition is the other bootable partiton, which your going to be erasing from the Recovery HD parittion, get it?
Next install Lion, using your AppleID and password, from Apple's servers, you will need a fast internet connection and reliable too.
Lion will install and you reboot, setup the same named user account(s) (different password is fine) on the machine,
install programs first, before files
last install files from backup placing the content of them into the same named folders of Music, Pictures, Movies, Documents etc., but not Library. (you should be seeing it anyway)
That's it.

Cannot add items to sequence

Hello,
Not sure what happened, but it was working before, but all of sudden I cannot add items to sequence. I cannot add video, I cannot add effects to the clips, which are already in a sequence. I cannot move the clips in sequence. I am completely buffeled here. Is there a setting that I pressed by accident?
Any suggestions?
I am using Win7 Professional 64bit.

Tried creating new sequence in the project and tried creating new project all together. In both cases the behavior was the same. I also opened a different project and could not do anything in the sequence. Re-installing premiere did not help.

My garage band will not work properly with new lion upgrade..HELP
I have tried to open old session i have done in garage band and many of the effects and instruments I have used will not show up. The system seems to have a bug.

If the graphical user interface looks broken, that is quite often a problem of corrupted user preferences - have you tried to remove the preferences file, as described in the FAQ
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
Here is again the short version:
Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
Open your User Library in the Finder. It is hidden in MacOS X Lion, so use the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > GO hold down the "Options" key, until the library appears in the menu, select it.
In the window that opens, open the folder "Preferences" and remove the file:com.apple.garageband.plist and com.apple.garageband.plist.lockfile
Then try again to run GarageBand and download the loops.
The preferences file stores all you user settings that you set using the "Preferences" panel in GarageBand, also the layout of the GarageBand window and the location of your recent projects. You will have to enter these settings again after removing the file.

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?

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.

I have Garage Band for my IPad. I would like to add a "delay" effect to my music, but I do not see that effect available. How can I add it to the software? Thank you.

Hello all,
I have Garage Band on my Ipad Mini and I notice that it does not have a "delay effect" that can be added to my music. There are other effects, but no delay, which is the most important one for me. How can I add this effect? Thank you.

There are not many effects available in GarageBand on the iPad. You can add reverb and echo to the Master Track, but that's it.
See the User Guide: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.4/index.html#chs175dc411

How do I add effects on the new garage band

On the old garage band i could double click on a track and i had a side bar of effect such as:
Reverb
Distortion
Overdrive
In the new update it appears they have gotten rid of this and i wondered if there is still a way of doing it.
Please help. Thanks

These effects have been moved to the Smart Controls:
Open the Smart Controls for a track, click the button to show the Info pane, drag the dividing line to the track area to make the pane larger. scroll it up, until you are seeing the "Plug-ins".
Click the disclosure triangle at "Plug-ins" and click an empty field to add another effect:

In Garage Band on iPAD, is there a way to make each key on the keyboard play a different sound effect?

I'd like to be able to play a number of selected sound effects using the keyboard in Garage Band. I've figured out how to import audio tracks from my itunes library into a track in Tracks View.
Thanks if anyone has experience with this......

GarageBand on iPad does not have the SoundEffects instruments, that GarageBand on Mac has.
The closest you can get to this on your iPad will be the "Sampler" instrument. You can record a sound sample and play it using the "Sampler" instrument and adjust the pitch.
But you cannot assigne different samples to different keys.
See: Play sounds with the Sampler

How can I send and share a Garage Band 10 project to my bass player to add his part.

MBP, OS 10.9.4 4G RAM
Garage Band 10.0.2
I have two tracks of a Garage Band Song Project, drummer and acoustic guitar.
I want to send this project to my bass player to add his part. He also has GB10.0.2 After he would records his part he would send it back to me to add additional parts.
What is the best/least complicated way to accomplish this while maintaining the integrity of the file(s). via the net, or the iCloud or Drop Box?
Drop box seems very unfamiliar to me.
thanks for the help

Hello léonie
I have tried your advice
this DB folder icon does not stop spinning for several minutes and I can't do anything until it updates!?
In the public folder I see the file, I then select compress, then I copy THAT as a public link, the actual file will not let me 'copy public link', but it will let me put it somewhere on Dropbox.com
I select Copy Public Link, go to MAIL, new mail, paste link, send to myself as a test
So, this is good now that I have tried it and gotten over the impatience of the Drop Box pull down menu updating.
I have sent the file to my self and it has gone to the download folder on my MBP, this is good, I double click and it opens in GB to work on.
DROP BOX??? How do I clear this stuff because it seem to update every time I do something with DB?
I was not able to see how to 'clear history' or what ever.
I know this is not an Apple GB question but it's all linked to the effectiveness of music production and collaboration.
I am so please to receive your assistance and my bass player is too.
Thanx

How do you add non-Garage band instruments into a Logic project so that you can hear them on playback?

How do you add non-Garage band instruments (orchestral instruments) into a Logic Pro (8) project so that you can hear those insrtruments' sounds on playback? I've tried to understand and follow the Logic Pro 8 User Manual, but the process comes off as so complex and the writing so technical that it does not help but only confuses.
To be precise - I want to add instruments (orchestral) that are not offered in the current Garage band menu which is offered in the Mixer's channel strip menus for Logic Pro 8. To be clear, the instruments that are offered are Bass / Drum Kits / Guitars / Mallets / Organs / Pianos and Keyboards / Synth Basics / Synth Leads / Synth Pads. Most of these that I've tried seem to work and give their characteristic sound when placed in a particular channel and playback is clicked.
However - there is one orchestra instrument offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Mixer channel menu and it's the item labelled "Performance - 000 flute 1 or 001 flute 1." And it is this instrument that presents a problem. When I click on it and choose it from the menu and enter it as the instrument of choice for a specfic channel / track in my Logic Pro project arrangement, when playing back the music for the overall piece this particular track, the flute, does not playback and produce the notes (Midi events) in the track in the sound of the flute. Instead, nothing comes out at all. I can't imagine why this does not work. Any ideas, anyone? Again, when choosing this instrument for a track and clicking the playback no flute sound is forthcoming. Why not? I have not tried them all, but when most of the other various types of keyboards, such as an electric piano or an organ, are chosen for a track the playback successfully renders the sound of these instruments. Why then does playback not produce the sound of the flute when it has clearly been chosen to play and sound the Midi events given it?
Anyway, the overall, larger issue for me is the inability I have to choose and get non-Garageband instruments (largely orchestral) to play the Midi events given on various tracks. If my guess is correct then technically, orchestral instruments not offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Garageband Mixer channel menu are referred to as external Midi sampled instruments - still, IMHO the process is not clearly spelled out in the User Manual. The simple step by step process whereby a non-Garage band instrument, say an orchestral instrument, is placed in a channel replete with Midi event (notes) waiting to be played should be easy, logical and given in a simple to follow format, but is not.
What with all the talk of routes, busses, auxillary channels, GM devices, GM mixers, audio bins, libraries and audio files this Logic Pro User is confused to the max. Can someone please help me and, in simple English, describe the step by step process whereby presumably external sampled orchestral instruments can be successfully employed, in any given Logic Pro arrangement project, to render their characteristic sounds upon playback?
On my two Macs, one a laptop and one a much larger Mac, I have any number of the GSO (Garritan Symphony Orceshtra) and Vienna Symphony Orchestra instrument library samples - and yet - I've yet to figure out how to actually get them INTO a Logic Pro project of any kind! To put this as a question, even as a humble request, how can I make good use of these orchestral sample libraries in a Logic Pro project? Can someone steer my to a clear resolution of this issue. I'd sincerely appreciate it! Thanks all!

David, you understand that this is professional software and is not necessarily meant to be easy but is in fact designed to give the professional user as many choices as possible, that's why it's in the Pro Apps section. You WILL need to learn about buses, GM Devices, Audio Bins, Libraries...etc..etc if you intend to use Logic.
That said, you are looking in the wrong place in the channel strip.
May I offer you advice?
Go here:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
Open "Exploring Logic Pro" (a short PDF Document). Pay special attention to chapter 3. Also pay special attention to the included graphics of the channel strips.
I encourage you to read the whole document as it will clear up many things... even though it's a Logic 9 document.

tornado2003,
What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
Take Care,
Richard
i guess you missed that:

Cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

cannot import voice over from garage band into FCP-X

Try:
Share > Send Song to iTunes. In the dialog, turn OFF compress. That will create an .aiff version of your GB project.
Alternately, you can Share to iTunes. When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Create AIFF version.
When iTunes opens, right click on the selection and select Show In Finder -> drag it out to a more convenient location (or option-click-drag to make a duplicate in the new location you drag to.)
Import that file into FCPX.
