GarageBand`11 with audio interface

Is it possible to send through a audio interface a click track to the drummer headphones and the rest of the tracks to the PA´s?. We need that to live performance, so de click track not to be listened by de audience
I know thats possible with other software but I´m using GB and I wonder if it´s also possible with it.
Thx
Manu

you would need to pan the click track to one side (e.g. left) and everything else to the other side (e.g. right)
GB only offers two channel-OUT

  • My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface

    2010 Imac 21.5 running 10.8.5. My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface. The local authorized Apple tech said that I need a new motherboard, but my firewire ext drive works perfectly. I don't understand. Thanks.

    You must go to the website of the audio interface manufacturer and look for, download and install updated drivers for the audio device you are using.
    This is not, neccessarily, an Apple issue.

  • Mainstage not working with audio interface

    Hi,
    I'm having problems in using Mainstage with my audio interface, a Tascam US-600.
    Mainstage does not receive any input signals when I connect a microphone or a guitar into the Tascam and use it with Mainstage. I selected the audio interface as audio input and tried with all the inputs (from 1 to 6) that the channel strip let me select. For the audio output, when I select the built-in output I can not hear nothing; when I select the Tascam outputs, I can hear just the NON-PROCESSED sounds.
    I don't know what to do, because I realized these other facts:
         - Mainstage works with a MIDI device directly connected to the Mac with a MIDI-USB cable;
         - The Tascam, as written above, receive the input signals. Using it with GarageBand it gives me no problems, with the same instruments (both                microphones, guitars and the audio interface) and connections!
         - Also if it gives me problems with feedbacks and noises, the built-in microphone seems to work with Mainstage - at least MS recognise input signals.
    Thanks in advance for your answers and sorry for my English if it's not so smooth.

    The problem is that since the MacBook only has two USB ports, I am having to use a USB hub. <snip>
    When I quit Mainstage and unplug the USB hub and only using either both interfaces, or one interface and the midi controller, it works fine.
    Hi
    Is the Hub a powered one or ?
    Sounds like you need a better (powered?) one

    Could be an overall power limitation if everything is bus powered? Can you use external PSU's for any of the kit?

  • Recording with audio interface FCA 202 Behringer

    Recording from mixing board through audio interface and was wondering how to record new track and listen to the other tracks at same time to play to? I know I want to use headphones but where do I plug headphones into? tried coming off of computer and did not work. Could come off of audio interface but that would probley give me just my sound going to the computer. Not quite sure of the signal pattern I need to set up?... Do I patch another cable out of the interface to the board and listen with headphones off the board. Not sure if the audio interface works in 2 diffrent directions at once thru the firewire cable..

    You choose the output in Garageband > Preferences > Audio Midi. Just choose built in output and monitor from your mac.
    If you return audio from the interface back to the mixer you could monitor from the mixer. Also monitoring playback along with a dry input will insure zero latency.

  • New macbooks incompatibility with audio interfaces because of firewire lack

    Hello,
    I am a sound engineer and I use my macbook to record music with external audio interfaces such as the digi002 and the digi003 by Digidesign and with the related Pro Tools software which, as you probably know, is the best software for audio recording and is known as the worldwide standard for it.
    As my actual macbook is now 4 years old, I was impatiently waiting for the macbook update but I was really astonished when I've seen that apple decided to delete the firewire port on the new model.
    This bizarre choice makes the new model incompatible with all the professional audio cards by Digidesign avoiding the use of Pro Tools on these notebooks and forcing me and my colleagues to switch to pcs (or to macbooks pro, if you can afford spending more than the double...).
    Can I (we) hope in a sort of new update reintegrating the firewire port which, I say it once again, is fundamental for us in order to continue using macbooks in our job as sound engineers?
    Thanks,
    Sincerely,
    Francesco

    The subject has been covered here in multiple threads already. The best way to submit feedback to Apple is through this web page:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbook.html
    Whether Apple will ever decide to add Firewire ports back to the MacBook is unknown. Personally I doubt it, but we can hope.

  • Massive problem with audio interface

    Hi there.
    I recently bought a brandnew iMac 27" Haswell i7. I encountered problems with my Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 audio interface. These are buzzing, clicking and noise immediately or after 3 minutes or so. I tried everything, re-installed the driveres several times, nothing, really nothing worked.
    Then I bought an RME Babyface audio interface - and guess what? It's the same problem. I also have a massive sound noise after some minutes or the recording channel in Garage Band drops completely.
    What is wrong here? I already tried using a different power plug, tried all USB ports, turned off WiFi, HDD sleep mode, etc. Nothing worked.
    Do you have an idea?
    I appeciate your help,
    Adrian.

    same problem with my imac late 2012 27" 3.2ghz i5 and the motu ultrilite. up to now i have no solution for this problem. the worst i can't use them never before. since from the first day. i attempt  everything. from re-install to fresh install. resetting the nvram and pram. formatting the hd and make a fresh install from the operating system. using balanced audio cables and so on...but same problem all time. even my technological knowledge and know how which i have as electrical engineer couldn't help me. first i was lucky to have apple care in those situations. after get back the imac from the service provider i sadly decide nothing has changed. and they would told me it runs all fine. in meantime i testing my ni audio dj8 over usb. it's similar with the ultralite because the buzzing, clicking and noise is not so extrem as it is on ultralite. but it's here.
    the curios with my macbook pro and my old imac early 2008 it runs and works fine without problems. for next week i have fixed a new date by the service provider. but then with my intercace, monitors to simulate this error and i hope they find the reason. perhaps i can tell you some news or solutions next week. i'm relly curious about it.

  • Get a better performance with audio interface?

    Hi all.
    I got a silly question. I run Logic 7 on a Powerbook G4 12" with 1.33 Ghz and (only) 768 Mb RAM and a (hard to built in) 160 Gb Harddrive.
    After having often the "Disk is too slow..." message I was thinking about buying a external audio interface (presonus firebox).
    My simple question is: does an external audio interface give Logic (or CoreAudio) more free DSP-Power? So that maybe I got a better performance? Or do I need to get something like a TC Powercore Firewire?
    An answer would be great ... otherwise I have to sell my nice and small 12incher and buy an Intelbook ...
    Thanks. Frank.
    Powerbook G4 12" 1.33 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    A new audio interface won't help.
    You should start by getting an external 7200 RPM Firewire drive to put your audio on. That right there will help, especially with higher track counts.
    Secondly, get more RAM. 768 of RAM is borderline for Logic. I always recommend at least 1 gig. Go ahead and max out that Powerbook to 2 gig of RAM, if you can.
    All that to say, an Intel mac would be a huge improvement over the Powerbook. And if you do go that route, still get an external FW drive for audio, and as much RAM as you can afford.

  • Update of 10.4.9 not compatable with audio interface

    the update of 10.4.9 from 10.4.8 made my audio interface (m-audio 410 firewire) undetectable. is it a good idea to reistall the original software into my macbook? how does this effect my software (logic pro 7, iomega harddrive)? should i remove my software first?
    any recommendations greatly appreciated

    After going through this another hour I was able to get it to the login screen and now my websites are back up. At this point I am afraid to fully login.
    What worked, not sure if it had anything to do with it was I was able to hold down option and then select the second drive. It then either rebooted like it was supposed to or it did the same thing and died and reboot, hard to tell actually.
    Is there cases of the drive volumes getting changed or something like this? I was counting the last 10 restarts, between 5 and 15 seconds before it rebooted. Usually it didn't seem like it had any time for the OS booting to get started.
    please help if you have seen this if there is anything I should do?
    For the time being while it is up, I am going to update my new server, my second server and set it up.
    thanks.

  • Trouble with audio interface (E-MU 0404) on OS X Lion

    After I install "OS X Lion" from "Mac App Store" system can't find my audio interface ("Creative E-MU 0404 USB"), I see Audio Card in System Profiler, but it doesn't apear in "System Preference - Audio".
    Also, "Creative Proffessional Software" doesn't run under Lion, because it's a "PowerPC" application, but I install update from June, 2010.
    Is it possible that driver was written for "PPC", and now "Lion" doesn't support it, and what should I do?

    Quite frankly, having to switch to 32-bit mode, to use My 0404 Audio interface, that is btw still being sold alongside competitor interfaces in the same price range (From Cakewalk, Tascam etc. etc.), that have OS X Lion (or at least intel native) drivers that allow their cards to be used with maximum efficiency, is completely unacceptable.
    I wrote the tech support, and (like everyone else I've heard about) I got a copy/paste answer, saying that the tech-supporters in E-MU had no idea what the plans of the development team were, in regards to updating the drivers for the E-MU 0404.
    Here's the reply I got from them, when I tried to get some clarity on all of this:
           Thomas,
    We are sorry to inform you at this time Technical Support has not been informed by product development, as to when
    OSX Lion drivers will be available. Technical support is not the place where E-MU discusses or discloses upcoming
    product development or non released features and functions. That is done via marketing, usually through an official
    press release, and usually done at a trade show event and/or posted on our website.
    Please remember the more information you provide, including previous correspondence in your mail, helps in troubleshooting and solving the problem you are experiencing.
    Thank You
    Casey
    EMU Systems
    Don't forget to check out http://www.EMU.com for your latest drivers, and updates, and EMU Products. E-MU is now featured on YouTube : http://www.youtube.com/user/EMUsupport and FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/EMUSystems
    and I don't blame the tech-support. The entire thing has been thrown on their shoulders, as E-MU seemingly couldn't give enough of a !#€% to even update them about the situation.
    I suppose this problem could have been averted a loooooooong time ago, by simply updating the drivers for the unit, when Apple went Intel (I suppose the 0404 is pre 2005, when Apple changed to Intel Architecture? If not, this is even more of an outrage).
    As many others, the fact that the drivers were PPC and not Intel makes me wonder if I've been running the interface all this time, with un-needed latency.
    This is definitely the last time I buy anything from E-MU, or Creative for that matter.

    On both computers I have only one account, the fw cable is always the same..
    I have purchased a new cable and I'm testing it..
    Another thing to say is that the fw port number 2 is generally working better than 1.. I mean, while port 1 never loads my tascam (the computer firewire connection is always loaded succesfully on both ports) port 2 sometimes works.. well this can't be called stability at all =)
    Sometimes reastarting computer, unplugging cables etc can help starting succesfully a new session.. I've already resetted PMU but no progress..
    All these things don't last longer than one session..

  • 9.1.7 buggy with audio interface

    So, my PreSonus Firebox regularly goes silent since the 9.1.7 update.
    This seems to always happen if I put the computer to sleep and wake it again... sound becomes unavailable until I toggle audio output settings in Logic, or quit the program.
    Output from any other application is also silenced. It's restored when I quit Logic.
    Anyone else had this problem with their interface?
    Thanks...

    This problem actually has to do with more than waking-up issues. Sometimes the interface goes silent just when Logic is put in the background for awhile. Regarding the necessity for restarting-after-wake to keep things going, I can't recall ever having a problem similar to this since the days of OS9, and I  work daily with Logic and many other audio apps. My firewire interfaces (Presonus and other) have been solidly reliable upon waking.

  • GarageBand and supported Audio Interfaces

    Hi
    Is there a list of supported audio interfaces that work with GB 09?
    Cheers.

    Strange that Logic sees it but not GB.
    First, I'd make sure the audio interface is selected in GB's preferences.
    If there's still a problem, you could always try throwing out both GB preference files, which often fixes mystery problems. However, I've found that problems with the computer not seeing the interface can sometimes be fixed by restarting the computer and cycling the interface of and on (occasionally I've needed to do this twice). And then confirm the interface is seen/selected in GB's preferences (also - you can check more universally in the Audio/MIDI Setup utility).

  • Why am I not getting any input signal into logic X or GarageBand from my audio interface?

    Hello all,
    I'm completely new to all this so I will try my best here to give all the details needed.
    So, I am using a Mac mini (2013 model: i7 overclocked at 2.6, 16 gbram) and a focusrite saffire pro 24DSP. Overall both are in perfect working order.
    My problem, however, is that I am seemingly unable to get any form of signal from my saffire into either Logic X or GarageBand. I am trying to record guitar lined in and I have set all the settings in logic to what I think is right (software monitoring checked, output channels selected, saffire selected for both input and output) and I have set up my saffire mix control - I spent days reading the manual and watching online tutorials.
    The saffire mix control is set up thus:
    Input 1 - instrument
    Daw 1+2 = GarageBand
    Daw 3+4 = Logic X
    Sample rate 41Khz
    Master Output = stereo monitor mix (line outs 1 &amp;2 to my monitor speakers)
    Output 3+4 headphones
    Is there anything missing here?
    As far as this all goes, when I plug in my guitar I can get a very clear "raw" signal from the saffire mix control, but when I then go to set up a track in either DAW and assign the necessary line ins and outs, no matter what I do I cannot get an input signal, not even a partial one (I have the monitoring and record armed options checked btw). I am close to giving tearing my hair out.
    I'm sure I am just missing something out?
    Thanks in advance :-)

    I've plugged into the interface a mic and an electric guitar.
    I'm not sure what I did but the guitar is coming through (though it shows no signal on the interface). Mic input level on line, mic registers a tiny bit of sound when I hit the mic (on only one channel) but doesn't register any vocals when mic input is turned up to the max.
    Odd thing: stereo/mono button reversed that is when the button is pushed in it equals stereo on the head phones when it says it should be mono and when the button is left unpushed it equals mono when it says it should be stereo.
    Monitor is on and volume is at max.
    GB system preferences don't list Input 1 or/and 2. Where do I find them?
    I've tried everything I can think of. It feels as if I just need to find the right switch but I don't know where to look...
