GarageBand for a Garage Band help

Hello everybody, I've got some questions. Recently I formed a Garage Band, and fortunately I own a Mac. Now I've played around with GarageBand before, and I know how it works. What I don't know how to work, is hardware. I want to plug in two guitars, a bass, a keyboard, mic, and drums (electric or mic) into the computer, and put each instrument into a separate track. How do I do this? I have no clue what I'm looking for, I don't know what cables I need, and I don't know how much it'll cost me. If anyone can give me some insight, I'd love it. Thanks in advance!

Garage band help appears in a foreign language. can i change the help to english?

in os 10.9.7 garage band help appears in a foreign language. Can i change the Garage band help to help to english?

The GarageBand help is supposed to use the language that is set as your Primary Language in the System Preferences:
Check the settings, drag the language you want to use to the top of the list, and restart the system .
I that does not fix it, reinstall GarageBand. Then the correct language files are probably missing in the application bundle.

Our school has 12 iPads for a Garage Band concert..?

Our school has 12 iPads for a Garage Band concert. We need to purchase the in-app "expansion" for them to be used properly. How can we go about doing this without creating 12 Apple ID's for the process, and how do we manage the purchase correctly?
Our district can load them up, but due to purchasing restraints cannot pay for them. I just need to know the best way to go about getting 12 iPads to all be the same and all have the same unlocked in-app purchase. The money is not the issue, we have the funds.

One more thing... can you tell me how to stop all of these emails from the support communities. I turned off all my email notifications in my preferences but my email is blowing up with dozens of emails minutes apart. Does it take time before turning notifications off works... or am I missing something else?

IMovie 08 Chapter Titles in Garage Band - Help!

I've added chapter titles to my iMovie 08 project by sharing it with Garage Band. Now, what do I do if I just want a movie on my hard drive that will play in iTunes or Quicktime, BUT I don't want to compress yet again. In other words, is there some sort of "pass through" with regard to compression since the movie is already in a compressed format as "large movie" (iMovie 08 selection).
Seems that if I choose a compression, I'm compressing an already compressed movie just to get the chapter markers in. Am I missing something here? I don't want to compress twice.
I can't find anything in the Help section nor anything in the Search on this forum or the Garage Band forum.

Use the Share menu "Export Movie to Disk..." option and select the "Full Quality" pop-up.

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

HT1338 i downloaded new updates to my garage band and when I restarted a warning popped up when i opened my mailbox that the version I have no longer is being supported. Then, for some reason, the app is gone and don't know how to get my email back on my

i donwloaded new updates for my garage band with instruments (which was about 1.2gb) . When I started my email a message popped up that my email is not supported with the version of the email - I was confused and went into applications and tried using the "mail.app" and then I lost my "Mail" app on my dock and now there's no way for me to get my emails or find the app to load back on my dock. Could someone please help me??

If your Mail app is no longer inside your Applications folder, use Spotlight to locate the application. Once you find it, place the application back inside the Applications folder. Then drag the original Mail app to the dock & let go. The Mail app should now appear in the Dock.

Garage band real instruments

When I plug in my studio link to record my bass and guitar on garage band it does not pick them up at all.
I have done everything suggested on the garage band help.
Any idea what to do?

they're all just Cables with different types of connectors.
every one I've seen is, yeah, and it really ticks me off that they continue to advertise them as if they'll just magically work. it is simply not true for most people.
I agree. For most people, it's really false or at least misleading advertisement.
Unfortunately, we have seen several cases of similar behavior on the part of manufacturers and retailers.

Open imovie project in garage band

Hi,
I am trying to do mulitiple tracks in imovie, with music, voice-over, etc. and I want to hear my voice-over at the same time as the music, to match timing.This is not possibe via imovie, as one's voice-over obscures everything else, so the timing with the music is out.
I thought that I could export the imovie project to garage band, synch the music and voice-over and send it back.
I "shared" the imovie project to the media browser,
now what? Where did it go?
Can I in fact use garage band in the manner I have described above?
Can't get any joy from the garage band help.
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks.

Can I in fact use garage band in the manner I have described above?
Sure, you can!
To use the movie in GarageBand, click the MediaBrowser icon in the lower right corner of the GaragBand window. Click the "Movies" tab and click disclosure triangle beside the iMovie icon. Now you should see your project.
Select it. Inthe lower part of the Media Browser you see the different sizes of your movie. Select on of them and drag them to the time line.
If your movie has an Audio track you will here it when you play your song and you should be able to play or sing along with the Movie-audio track and record your vocals. Then I would export the vocal track and import it to iMovie and mix the two tracks in iMovie.
Regards
Léonie

Voice Over in Garage Band

I was using Final Cut Express HD to make a Voice Over, but I was told that Garage Band makes a better VO. I made my VO in Garage Band and it sounded great. I open Final Cut and could not import the VO.
Any Suggestions?

Seek and you will find, I found this in garage band help:
You can send a project containing a podcast track to iTunes as a podcast. The podcast track must be visible when you export the project. When you send a podcast to iTunes, the podcast file is a compressed (AAC) file rather than an uncompressed (AIFF) file.
To send a podcast to iTunes:
If the podcast track is hidden, choose Track > Show Podcast Track.
Choose Share > Send Podcast to iTunes.
You can also export a project containing a podcast track to disk as a podcast by choosing Share > Export Podcast to Disk.
If the podcast track is hidden when you send the project to iTunes, the command Send Song to iTunes appears in the menu. Choosing this command exports only the audio in AIFF format.

Optimizing Garage Band

I am trying to record 7 live instrument tracks through microphones and and interface with garage band (on a Macbook Pro), but the audio keeps cutting out around three minutes in. All the settings are as they should be, according to the garage band help document on optimizing garage band. What more can I do?

the bottleneck is likely the slow internal HD in the laptop. the solution is probably a 7200RPM HD in a FireWire case

Hello Mattxy2,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you would like to add some Apple Loops to your project. I recommend reviewing the following sections in Garageband Help:
GarageBand Help - Search for Apple Loops

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Just downloaded Yosemite on my Mac and the Yosemite update for Garage Band. Now when I open an existing Garage Band project and click on a vocal track, a message window says, "Could not find General Audio 10" and have no smart controls. Help?

Just downloaded Yosemite on my Mac and the Yosemite update for Garage Band. Now when I open an existing Garage Band project and click on a vocal track, a message window says, "Could not find General Audio 10" and have no smart controls for that track (reverb, etc.) Help?

Try this fix posted by Robinson Collins:
Re: I downloaded Garage Band 2x and the same note appears: there is no General Audio 10. Please advise. Thank you.
Try this: Go to your menu bar, select "Garageband" and then "Restore Sound Library..."
It can take awhile to download as it's a pretty big library. You might need to also select "Update Sound Library..." after the restore is done.
