Garageband external

Previuosly I had an iPad 3, with 30-pin connector. With a usb extender it was no problem to connect my KORG TR midi keyboard to it and use it with Garageband.
Now i have an iPad 4 with lightning connector, and nothing seems to work to connect my midi keyboard with my iPad.
What do i need???

How about this adapter?
Lightning to 30-pin Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)
Then you could use your old cable.
Or: Lightning to USB Camera Adapter

Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device.

Sometimes, while playing back my software instrument songs, I get an intermittent pop-up error message, saying "Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device."
(Sometimes the five digit number is different, but remains a five-digit number beginning with "4".)
Simultaneously, the song stops until I press the "Okay" button in the pop-up window.
When I continue to play the song, the sound is jerky and clipped, and the playhead doesn't keep up with the song, and then suddenly jumps to the part of the song currently being played.
There's also a sound of static.
The issue seems to occur whether or not I have my MIDI controller turned on and plugged into my desktop Imac.

Moving Garageband Music Files to MyBook for Mac External Hard Drive on OSX 10.5.8 I'm a musician and need to make space on my mac hd. Is it safe to move music files there and delete them on the mac? Thanks!

use a MyBook for Mac external hard drive.
I need space on garageband or the entire hard drive, since I am getting the "need space on the hard drive" messages.
It's scary to move my precious music files!
How should I move them to the external and feel safe about doing so?
Or are there other methods besides the obvious, clearing caches, deleting the trash and downloads, etc., that are recommended?
I am doing music now and producers are waiting for the new vocals!
Help!
Thanks!

The process is as simple as just copying your Garageband project to the external drive and deleting from the macs hard drive. But before you delete anything you really need to back them up to someplace else also. Having just one copy is not safe. Get another external drive, DVDs or even flash drives, you absolutely need anything important in more then one place.

HT1295 Is it possible to use vst plugins for garageband from an external hard disk? (Without installing to the system hard disk)

Hi,
I got my MacBook pro 17" installed a 250GB of SSD as a system disk.
And i got 4TB of Thunderbolt External Disk.
The thing that i want is: to use my VST plugins for Garageband or Logic without fulling the system disk. Is it possible use them from an external disk?
Thnx

Garageband can't use VST plugins.
If you're talking about AUs: you could try to put an alias into the HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components folder instead of the actual files, and see if GB loads them.

How can I run GarageBand from an external drive that is not my boot drive?

Hi, I'd like to move my GarageBand loops and songs I've composed to my external hard drive. I have moved my iTunes library to the external, I found good instructions on how to do that, but I have not seen any for GarageBand. Is it possible to move both loops and created songs, or just loops, or what? Any guidance would be much appreciated...

GarageBand, mac mini, fw audio and external storage

Hi everyone,
My mini's internal hard drive has filled up and I'm now looking for an appropriate external drive to use with GarageBand. I've tried the LaCie mini hub (connected through firewire), but unfortunately it didn't work well in chain with the Miglia HarmonyAudio interface (also firewire), which I use for recording. Since my mini only has one firewire port, I have to chain them together and that seems to cause problems. (For details see my previously posted question:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1162254&tstart=0 )
I've ended up sending the hard drive back to Apple Store, because the two devices would only work together with some ugly workarounds.
Now I'm asking for your experiences:
1. Have you got a similar set-up that works for you?
2. What's a good hard drive for recording purposes?
3. It was suggested that a firewire hub might solve the problem – has anybody tried such a set-up?
4. Have you any general advice to offer?
5. Any alternative solutions I might not have thought of?
Any kind of helpful advice and comments welcome!
cheers
Hendrik

The choice is clear to me: go with the SSD and use the external drive for your video. USB3 is plenty fast enough (so the actual drive will be the limiting factor, not the connection).
You should not store your video in the system drive anyway, so you'd be well advised to use an external, no matter what the internal drive is. And once you get used to an SSD as your system drive, you'll wonder how you could have lived without one for so long :-)

Earphones plugged in, Garageband still outputs sound to external speakers

I hope I'm missing a rather simple Garageband setting. My Garageband projects are playing to my external speakers (plugged into the speaker jack on the back of my Mac Pro) rather than my earphones, plugged into the front earphone jack. I need the earphones to work as I'm in an office and need to keep the music quiet.
I went to system preferences and selected Output then headphones. All my other apps like iTunes and Safari play through to the headphones, Garageband plays to the speakers. What am I missing?
I already opened garageband Prefs > Audio/midi and audio output choices are greyed out.

Garageband not recognizing external inputs from minijack entrance

Hello
I need to connect a sound mixer to the Macbook via minijack audio entrance. Even I have changed the settings for audio input in System Preferences (from internal mic to external line) garageband is not recognizing any external input and internal microphoen is always active.
Someone had the same problem?
Thankx

Change the input in Garageband > Preferences > Audio Midi.

Can I control external midi devices with Garageband?

hello
I would like to control my external effects unit ,a vox tonelab.
I want to be able to change patches at certain points in a track whilst recording .
Can I do this using midi ? if so how ?
regards
Paul

What I know this isn't implemented in GarageBand. To work with midi and synthesizer's you have to by Logic or other similar products. Hope they will make full midi aviable on next version of GarageBand. Midi In will work efficiently and smooth. I have try with my old Casio VZ-11.

My external microphone isn't working on garageband OSX Lion

i hate a Audio technica at 2050 and garageband doesnt seem to find it when i go to preferences like what i would usually do to switch from built in mic to external anyone has any idea whats going on?

If all else fails, take it to an Apple Store. If it's a 4S it should still be under warranty.

Is it possible to use Garageband in conjunction with external midi devices?

We want to set up a music project for people with disabilities, using Garageband and various external midi devices, such as a 'Roland' keyboards, 'Alesis' AirFX, 'Alesis' SynthFX, soundbeam, 'Norton' sound sequencer etc.....is it possible?? We have used all this equipment with 'Steinberg Cubasis' software, but now want to try it with Garageband if it is possible!! Help?????!!!

I'm guessing that as we're using a midi to usb interface, it would work with Mac anyway??
as long as the inteface is mac compatible, yes

Need help recording with an external mic on garageband!!!

I'm a singer and i'm trying to figure out how to record vocals on garageband with an external mic that can plug into the powerbook. However, when i record it uses the internal mic instead I have no clue how to change it so it will use the external mic. Please help!!!
Thanks,
Stef=)

You HAVE to use a Mic that is powered! Just plugging a Mic into the Powerbook and switching the input to Line-in doesn't cause it to work.
I believe Griffin Techologies makes an adapter that will work and there are some other one out there. Google powered mics and see what comes up.

Recovering lost GarageBand files from failed external backup hard disk

For years, I've used SuperDuper's "Back-up - All files" function to regularly backup my computer's hard disk to an external firewire hard disk. On the day I initialized my computer's hard disk to install Leopard, wouldn't you just know, my external hard disk failed. I immediately stopped using it. I've used Data Rescue II on this external hard disk but can't find my GarageBand files. These were in a hard disk subfolder, not in the GarageBand folder or in the User > Music folder. I'm trying to find eight "projects" (some are GarageBand 2 files, others are GarageBand 2008 files), each of which including a voice recording (found a few of those, .aiff files) and software instrument tracks (some imports from Band-in-a-Box, which also can't be found -- but that's for a different forum). First off, what am I looking for, what would those files look like? Data Rescue II's Fast Scan doesn't see any .band file. Searching by name, using a part of the song's name, doesn't bring up anything. This doesn't seem entirely trustworthy as lyrics files using the same name (.doc files) were later found. I've only found two threads related to this on the Web, and they seem to indicate that DRII would be unable to rescue "packaged" files, which my guru husband says is nonsense. So I'm back to the original question: what is it I should be looking for on the external hard disk? Any suggestion gratefully received.

This is for people who would come to this thread searching an answer for the same kind of problem. I had much better success with FileSalvage. I was able to find the majority of my GarageBand files, with MIDI tracks. Audio tracks were not always included but could be found among .aif files. I have not yet searched for the Band-in-a-Box files.

It is very difficult to import audio files from extern drives (NAS) into the new garageband

Are you trying to open an audio file in GarageBand or a GarageBand project?
To open an audio file drag it from your NAS to a real-instrument track in GarageBand.
If you are trying to open a GarageBand project - can you open the same project, if you copy it to your system drive?

Cant hear song playback while recording with external USB Interface Mic in Garageband

Hi there
There must be something wrong with my settings in Gargaeband/Mac Sound Settings.
I have Garageband 9 (V5.1) running a song I have already recorded using a USB keyboard.
I want to record using my external mic and my USB Audio Interface, so
I select New Track> Real Instrument
I plug in my Yamaha Audiogram 3 USB AUdio Interface and I get a pop up stating
"Garageband is scanning your system for audio devices, and has detected a device named "USB Audio Codec"
If you want to use this device do not disconnect it during the scanning process.
Do you want to use this devise No/Yes."
I select Yes and INPUT SOURCE changes from
Mono 1 (Built-in Microphone)
to
Mono 1 (USB Audio CODEC)
I can see the signal lights lighting up on the audiogram 3 when I talk into the mic, so theres no problem there.
Also when I hit record I can record audio using the mic, and can see the levels (and the audio wave I am creating being drawn on the screen) but I cannot hear the track itself when I am recording using the mic. Nor can I hear the track or the new mic recorded audio AFTER I have hit stop.
The only way to hear the song again with the newly recorded mic track is to unplug the Audiogram 3 (Then I get another Pop-up stating
"The audio device "USB Audio CODEC" has been disconnected!
Do you want to switch to Built-in Audio or quit Garageband?"
I select USE BUILT-IN AUDIO)
Then the input source changes back to
Mono 1 (Built-in Microphone)
And I can hear the track again.
So my problem as you can see if that I cant hear the track while recording using the microphone with the Audiogram 3.
But I can record video with audio using the audiogram 3 USB Audio Inteface and mic using photobooth when I select change Sound>Input to USB Audio Codec in system preferences
It therefore assume it must be a problem with the internal audio settings of the mac/garageband.
Can anyone advise?
thanks!

In order to hear yourself while you are recording, you need to set Monitor to "ON" under the Track Info panel.
Also, what are your sound output settings? It sounds like you haven't selected the right output source.
If your speakers or headphones are plugged into your audio interface, then you need to go into Preferences -> Audio/MIDI and select your audio interface under Output as well as Input. If your speakers or headphones are built-in or plugged directly into your computer, then you need to select Built-In under Output.
I have a sneaky feeling that you are in the latter scenario, and that when you plug in your audio interface Garageband is automatically switching both Input and Output over to your interface, which means no sound output as long as the interface is plugged in.
