By recording interface you mean a digital audio interface that does A/D D/A conversion then yes the Mac will work with just about every usb/firewire interface made.

Can Garage Band (or other software) alter "style" of music?

This may be a crazy question, but can Garage Band (or other software someone can suggest) do to a piece of music what those electronic keyboards do: play it as if it was performed in different styles/instruments? For example, if I had the music for a basic folk song, is there software that can play it in in a heavy metal style, for example? Am I dreaming or can this be done in software somehow?
Mike

When using, say, folk guitar audio loops, assign an Amp Simulator with British Crunch or some other Rock setting. I have also done this with the blues harmonica and it sounds pretty good. If you are using Midi, you can assign rock guitars to give a rock edge. This way you can play with some possibilities.
You can play around with changing Midi piano loops to say, guitar or visa-verse for some fun experimentation. But remember, a true "style" of music is very hard to obtain. It is totally a work of creative execution.

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.

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 :-)

IMac into cam adaptor into garage band works,but GB only sees left channel.

iMac into cam adaptor into garage band works,but GB only sees left channel. Do you think it's the wiring of iMIcs USB vs. the camera adaptor? Or is there a switch in GarageBand that will bring in both channels? Thanks!

Sorry, I meant iMic into Camera Adaptor, not iMac. (no option to edit and re post ones own post)

Can garage band be used with usb turntable to transfer lp's to digital?

i have a number of lp's that i want to transfer to my mac, is garage band capable of doing that or do i need other software? input appreciated, thanks

You can do that with Garageband, but I wouldn't say it's the best software to do that. It will not split the cuts into the individual songs, and so unless you record one song at a time, each side of the LP will end up as one long cut. Then you will have to export each individual section to end up with songs. But if you already have GB and the USB turntable, you might just try it and see how it works. I have Peak and that works better for this type of thing.

WHY ISN'T GARAGE BAND WORKING?!?!

I click on the Garage Band icon in the dock. The icon bounces as usual. Then the bouncing stops. It doesn't open. No black arrow under the icon to indicate the program is running. Everything else works fine. I've tried hitting AppleOptionEsc, but Garage Band is not running, so I can't force quit. I've also tried closing everything else down, restarting, shutting down for awhile, unhooking everything from the wall, removing the battery for a few minutes, and nothing works. Still the same thing. It's been doing this for two days now.
Somebody, please, help me..!

How many outputs can garage band use?

I currently use Audacity for my recording/playback needs, but when linked to a 2i4 interface, I can still only select Right or Left for output options rather than Output:1, 2, 3 and 4. Does Garage Band allow the user to select a line out from the available outputs, or is it also limited to L and R regardless of the number of outputs on my interface. I need to be able to send out 4 different mixes at once (one for PA, drums, guitar and vocals).
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

.NET assemblies on which your specified assembly depends are loaded using the .NET framework's algorithm for finding assemblies, not the TestStand search directories. They are not directly loaded by TestStand; they are loaded by the .NET
framework. Generally the .NET framework will find dependent assemblies if they are in the same directory as your specified assembly, are in the application base directory (i.e. the directory of the executable), or in the GAC.
Hope this helps,

Can garage band do live playback?

I was wondering if there is a setting somewhere and i'm just missing it but i want to have garage band playback something live. For instance, hook a microphone up to my mac, than my mac up to a nicer system and hear it back as i play rather than recording THAN playing it back?

Select your audio track and make sure it is enabled for recording (the little record button directly below the track name needs to be red). Then open the Track Info panel. Near the bottom right you will see the Monitor option. Set this to ON and you will immediately be able to hear yourself sing or play into the mic without having to record anything.
Of course, you'll want to double check that you've correctly enabled your system for sound output. Inside GB, go to Preferences --> Audio/MIDI --> Output and make sure the right choice is selected.
One final warning: if your mic gets too close to your speakers you will get nasty feedback. You can prevent this by choosing Monitor ON with Feedback Protection (only available in GB '09 & '11), which will shut off the sound output if feedback gets too loud. Or you could avoid this problem entirely by using headphones.

Hey guy can you please help me with this issue PLEASE!

Hey Apple can you please help me with this issue, i have a iPhone 3gs and when i put my sim card into the iPhone it makes iphone 3gs shut down suddenly how do i fix that?
iPhone version: 6.0.1

You could restarting your phone that sometimes fixes issues
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

Need help with Garage Band 11 and my TASCAM interface recording Real Instrument

I am using a TASCAM US-122 interface with garage band 11 on a mac at 32 bit running osx 10.6.6. Garage Band preferences / audio input and output set to TASCAM (which means it recognizes it) , but when using Real Instrument for the TASCAM and the track is armed , etc... the record function works when started except "no sound" from the device I am running thru TASCAM is being detected.
I am getting sound out of the TASCAM and simply running an AKAI mpc beat as a test. I am sure there is something simple I have yet to do but not sure what it is in Garage Band.
Can you help ? Thanks. GARY

with the real instrument track selected...
make sure the info pane is showing on the right (click the little "i" on the bottom right to open it; "Real Instrument" should be highlighted in blue on top).
On the bottom of the info pane it says "Input Source" and "Monitor."
Make sure the Input Source is set to the Tascam channel you're using (the channel, mono or stereo, that you've plugged your MPC into).
And if you want to hear it as you record, make sure the Monitor is set to ON.

Help! Dont know how garage band works

Im trying to create a ringtone for my iphone but im not working out how to actually cut the song.
Im kinda slowy going off my head so please put me out my misery

What happened was somehow i heard of a pat metheny (i forget how to spell his name) the jazz guitarist's seminar about how he loves making music on his mac w/ garageband so i signed up to read & watch that seminar. So after a few months i was alerted to a whole host of vid's, (seminars ) many topics from apple by email. When i signed up the final step was a sign in page , is that what your getting , man i thought everyone was getting a chance to see it . There are 3 video's you can watch one is 33 minutes long , another 22 minutes & a 16 minute. What if you try going to apple .com /seminars , i 'm going to investigate, maybe it's taking you to my sign in page, have you tried signing in on the generic sign in page

Can garage band write sheet music

I'm recording on GarageBand via a firewire audio interface (the PreSonus studio mobile). I have two keyboards hooked up to it via the 1/4" analog inputs. Recording is going fine.
But, is there anyway for GarageBand to write out simple notation of the notes I've played on the keyboards? Nothing fancy, just some simple notation that I could reference should I completely forget a riff.
Is this something GarageBand has the capacity to do? If not, does Logic? Another program?
It would be a huge time-saver and helpful organizer.
Thanks,
Bleakley

Hi HangTime,
I got all the midi hooked up. Its working great. Love being able to see the score notation from the midi track. Plus, I was able to record the 1/4" inputs at the same time. I'm a newbie at this and I'm pleased at how smooth stuff has been going so far.
One more question. Can I export the midi score from GarageBand so that I can use and edit it in a more appropriate sheet music program?
Thanks!
Bleakley

Can garage band handle 8 mike inputs at once with a breakout box?

We are wanting to do a rough live recording of our band onto seperate tracks in garageband so we can get the levels of each instument right in the final mix.
Can we simultaneously monitor 8 inputs and record 8 tracks at once?
Which is the best breakout box to use?
Any ideas appreciated.
Cheers
Gary

You might want to check out the broader selection on Sweetwater's site:
http://www.sweetwater.com/c683--FireWireAudioInterfaces
I like the RME Fireface. If your budget can support it, it's very reliable.
In addition to Presonus, there are other good choices from Motu, Mackie, Metric Halo, etc. I'd just stay away from Digidesign hardware designed for protools.

Hey guys can anyone help me my FCP just keeps crashing everytime i try and open a project or import anyhthing please can someone help me

i wish it wpould let me insert an image but it wont VERY FRUSTRATED right now !!!!!!

you might have a corrupt project and/or event file. Can you temporarily move your events/projects out of the "Final Cut Events"/"Final Cut Projects" folders elsewhere so FCPX doesn't see them? (do this with FCPX closed). Then start over with creating a brand new event/project and try again.
If that works, start adding back your event/project folders one by one (or half at a time if you want to be quicker) to try and find the problematic event/project.
