How to use Garage Band to play a live gig (voice and acoustic guitar)

Hello!
I'd like to know if I could I use Garage Band to play a live gig (voice and nylon acoustic guitar).
I have an M-Audio fast Track PRO (with 2 plug-ins) as well.
Is the M-Audio Fast track strictly for recording or could it be used for live too?
And for the speaker I though about splitting the audio output from the computer into 2 and one would connect to a loudspeaker going outwards and the other towards me as a monitor.
And the set I wanted to do included a DJ.
I have the Djay spin table and the software.
Would it be possible to run GarageBand for me with the voice and guitar plugged into the M-Audio and then into the Mac and equalize it (and either record it or just play through it). And, on another screen the Djay software and also connect the spin table into the Mac and run it together with me?
Thanks,
Fernando.

just playing through GB should be fine, but recording, especially with other software running, might fail. if having a record of the event isn't the most important thing, then go for it. otherwise, i'd suggest using an audio editor to capture the event as you play though GB:

  • I want to make a DVD on how to use Garage band and sell them. Do I need apple's permission to do this?

    If I want to write a book on how to make great music in Garage Band and sell the book do I need permisison. I also thought about making video tutorials on the same subject. Again do I need permission to do this?

    This is a user forum, and certainly not a legal forum. 
    Legal systems and requirements vary by geography. 
    If you have a legal- or trademark-related question, you'll want to check directly with your own lawyer, and potentially with the folks at Apple Legal.

    How do I use Garage Band to practice my guitar against lesson CDs and backing track CDs

    GarageBand on your Mac or on an iPad?
    If you are asking abot GB on a Mac you do the following:
    Create a new GarageBand project with a Guitar track
    Insert the CD and drag the audio file of the Lesson track or backing track to an empty region below the tracks in the timeline of the GarageBand window.
    Plug in a set of head phones and put them on to listen to your backing track.
    Plug in your guitar and select the guitar track.
    Click on the measure where you want to start your recording and select the guitar track.
    Press "record" and start to play.
    Regards

  • How do i use Garage Band Instruments in Mainstage (2.1.3)

    hi,
    everywhere in the manuals it says that i can use Garage Band instruments in Mainstage.
    But in my Patch Library i can only see:
    01 Pre-Mapped
    02 Software Instruments
    03 Electric Guitar
    04 Vocal
    Audio Channel Strips
    Instrument Channel Strips
    In Logic it also shows "Garage Band Instruments", but i can't find that within Maintage..
    Any Idea???
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Hi guys,
    as an added task to the current importing of Garageband Instruments into MainStage; is it possible to import the Sound Effects sound that has been assigned samples from Garageband.
    I'll explain what I would like to do.. I would like to use, in MainStage, the Sampled clips I made in Garageband that have been saved as an Instrument under Sound Effects.
    Hope it makes sense.
    At the moment I can import it and get it on the right instrument but its just making a basic noise.
    Cheers if you can help.

  • Use garage band sounds in other applications?

    I've never had any need to use Garage Band, but have heard that the sounds are good... is there a way to use Garage Band sounds with a DAW, specifically, Digital Performer?
    Thanks

    What do you men with sounds?
    Apple Loops
    Apple Loops are just aiff file with additional metadata. You can even play them in iTunes. However I heard that DP can utilize the Tempo Match and Key Match feature.
    Plugins
    GarageBand support two Plugin standards. AU Plugins and Logic-Plugins. GarageBand doesn't come with any AU-Plugins only Logic Plugins but DP doesnt support them, they are an Apple proprietary format.
    Drummer
    The drummer is nothing other than a sophisticated EXS24 Sampler (a Logic Plugin), therfore no support in DP. If you have a lot of time on your hand, you can access the individual audio samples and build your own sampler that can be used in DP.
    Settings
    All the other sound settings are just settings files that are only compatible inside the Apple ecosystem of audio apps (GarageBand, Logic, MainStage)
    This ecosystem comes in handy when moving between those apps. Now you can create sounds and settings in Logic and use them in GarageBand or MainStage. Here is screenshot from my new GarageBand book "GarageBand X - How it Works" that illustrates that ecosystem
    Hope that helps

  • Using Garage Band Sampler on iPad2.

    Hi.
    Using Garage Band ....Sampler simply stopped working and no longer records any sounds.
    Any clue, anyone?

    What is your GarageBand version?
    The sampler is part of the in-app purchase in GarageBand 2.0 -  see this Support Document:
    Expanding GarageBand for iOS 2.0 content with an in-app purchase http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6032
    With a one-time in-app purchase, you can add Guitar Amp, Smart Keyboard, Smart Bass, Smart Strings, Smart Drums, Sampler, and a total of 157 preset sounds. The purchased instruments appear in the Touch Instrument browser after you purchase them.
    In GarageBand 1.4 the sampler is here: see  Play sounds with the Sampler  http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.4/index.html#chs392814a5

    How do I upgrade the ram?
    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.
    Crucial
    Other World Computing
    Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
    Revert to a Previous OS X - Yosemite
    Revert to Snow Leopard
    If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.
