How to use manistage 3 instruments in garageband

Hello:
I am using Garageband 11 and I have Mainstage3.
What do I need to do for using MS3 instruments in Garageband?
Many thanks...

I have a similar question: How can you set up entities and persistence units when working in a visual web project created using the Visual Web Developer pack?
Perhaps the Visual Web Developer pack could use a couple of sample projects showing how these things are done.

How to use an Aggregate device for Garageband (iLife '11)

Here is what I have,
Komplete Audio 6 interface (USB)
M-Audio Mobile Pre interface (USB)
2010 Macbook (white) running OS X 10.6.8
Garageband from iLife '11
I found out (supposedly) how to use both of the interfaces together by creating an Aggregate device.
I have gone through all the setup steps to create an aggregate device and put both interfaces on the Aggregate list to be used.
HERE IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT!
When I open Garageband and designate the Aggregate device as my sources of hearing and recording (Input and Output), the M-Audio doesn't even register sound. When I hook up the M-audio interface by itself, it works. Same with the Komplete interface. They work perfectly individually. But together, Garageband only recognizes channels 1 & 2 coming from the the Komplete interface.
1) How do I make it so both show up as recording to Garageband?
2) How can I hear them in my headphones (monitors)?
Thank you!

Maybe an alternative would be to put this logic into the select.
select u.object_name,
       u.object_type,
       count(case when u.object_type = 'TABLE' then 1 end) over () count_tables,
       count(case when u.object_type = 'VIEW' then 1 end) over () count_views
from user_objects u;This would count the number of tables and views in the data dictionary. And it is returned as a column value.

How do I add software instruments to garageband 4?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't seem to find where I go to add software instruments. I see references to Jampacks, but then see they are no longer available. What replaced them? Why did they discontinue them? I mainly want to add some jazz and acoustic instruments, and variations, to the limited choices in GB. Not so much interested in loops, althugh that could be fun too . I was under the impression that there are all kinds of instrument voices available. My old Yamaha keybord had plenty. Also, should I update to to GB11? Thanks for any input. -JW

all the JamPacks now come free as a digital download when you buy MainStage 2 from the Mac App Store for $30 (each JamPack used to cost $99)

How to use a GPIB card's LabView drivers to communicate with the card?

I have an axiomtek AX4810P PCI-GPIB card and i have aquired LabView drivers from the manufacturer.
This has put VI's for the GPIB functions on the 'user palette' but i can't work out how to use them to communicate with the card. can anyone help? please.

LS,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
Unfortunately, since you are not using a National Instruments GPIB card, I do not have access to the drivers that were provided to you by your card's manufacturer. I would suggest contacting Axiomtek directly to obtain support using their drivers.
However, I did write a small VI that demonstrates how to use similar National Instruments drivers with a National Instruments GPIB card. Keep in mind, this example VI is not intended to work with your particular card. The drivers you obtained from Axiomtek may have similar functions, however, and you can use my VI as a guide. My VI allows you to send a command to an instrument at address 2 on the GPIB card.
Hope this helps!

i think the first thing to do would be to check with Mackie support. two things noted on Mackie's website:
DRIVERS::
No Driver Required for Supported Windows (PC) or OS X (Mac) Versions
(note "supported")
and
For the Mac::
Mac OS X 10.4.11 – 10.7.1
ask if their firmware currently supports OS X 10.9.x

How do you get instruments into garageband i.e. violin, sax etc.

how do you get instruments into garageband i.e. violin, sax etc.

You can install additional sound fonts, see GarageBand '11: Play Soundfonts in GarageBand
or install Jam Packs: If you buy (for a moderate fee) Mainstage 2 at the AppStore, this will install all five JamPacks, so that the loops and instruments can be used with GarageBand. This way you will get all Symphonie orchestra instruments, World Music, Rhythm Section and many more.

How do I use a bluetooth headset with garageband?

How do I use a bluetooth headset with garageband? I can't get it to work after many tries.

I can pair the headphones with the computer but the sound from GB is distorted and muffled. I can barely hear it. The set works with iTunes, but not with GarageBand.

How to use old "Apple Loops for Soundtrack" with Garageband

Since Soundtrack (was part of FinalCut Express HD) doesn't work anymore (since some ProKit framework update) and was not part of the FinalCut Express 4 upgrade I used Garageband for sound creation and editing. But I missed some good loops from the old Soundtrack.
The Apple Loops for Soundtrack were still sitting on my harddisk but Garageband didn't recognize them in the Loop-Browser. Looking at the structure I found the Search Index files (/Library/Audio/Apple Loop Index/). I have two there, one for Garageband and another for iLife Sound Effects. Both are interpreted by Garageband. But no third for the old Soundtrack Loops. So I had a look at the Sound Loops installer DVD from FinalCut HD and there I found a similar structur and copied the Index file to the location of the two indexes mentioned above. I left the Loops for Soundtrack where they are (also could edit the index file for new locations, but that's a 7.5MB text file) and now Garageband knows their location and also lists the loops at the right categories inside the Loop-Browser.
Maybe that helps someone, even if I didn't find a topic about it here.

Ah.. ok, then never mind. Just didn't find any information about how to use the old soundtrack loops with garageband and so I did some thinking on my own. And if it works that easy, the better it is

How do I change the volume for a single midi instrument in GarageBand 10? Every time I move the volume, it moves back!

How do I change the volume for a single midi instrument in GarageBand 10? Every time I move the volume, it moves back!

Every time I move the volume, it moves back!
Check, if you have a volume automation set on the software instrument track.
If the track volume automation curve is enabled, the volume slider for the track will move with the automation curve.
Click the automation curves disclosure triangle in the track header and disable the volume automation.

WIth LabVIEW how do I control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a RS232 to USB converter cable.

WIth LabVIEW how do I control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a RS232 to USB converter cable since I dont have rs232 ports. I have two instruments that I want to control in this manner. One is an Imada ZPS force gage with RS232 output. The other is a Panasonic HL-G103-S-J laser micrometer sensor which is RS422. I've done considerable LabVIEW programming using GPIB but I have no experience with devices like these. Any tutorial or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I understand that you want to control a device which having RS 232 port as output. If so, you can use an USB-RS232 cable from PC to device and you can control or monitor the device.
See this link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2669
Also, first check the device in hyperterminal and then continue to program in labVIEW. You can find the serial VI's in Instrument I/O.

How to use track effects with new version of GarageBand

In the version of GarageBand before this one, you could access different effects that you could manage and apply to the different tracks. Each track had an area containing its set of effects that were either activated or deactivated. With this removed, i am not sure how to add those same kind of effects. I am aware of the new nobs that are provided in order to mix and edit trebles, bass, mid, etc., but i want to be able to add different effects such as voice transformer, flanger, chorus, speech enhancer, bit crusher, bass amp, track echo, track reverb, amplifier, etc. I desperately need help finding out how to do this, as this was a major part of my mixing and producing with GarageBand, and without these given effects, i do not feel as comfortable using GarageBand.

How to use Extech Instruments model 407123 with Labview 7.1

I am pretty new to Labview. With the help of this forum I was able to configure my DAQpad 6020E with my Labview 7.1.
Now I am looking at using an Extech Instruments Hot Wire Thermo-Anemometer (407123) in my experiment and running it through Labview. Based on my research, I was led to believe that I should use the Instrument Assistant I/O and NI-Visa, but I am having a lot of difficulties. First off, the Thermo-anemometer is wired for RS232 and I have it connected to an RS232 to USB converter, which is then plugged into my computer. I have the driver for the converter. When I plug the thermo-anemometer into my computer, MAX reads it as a serial port and it is listed as COM3. MAX claims that the device is working properly. However, when I run Labview's Instrument Assistant I/O, and tell it to read data I get a bff0015 error and it says that the device timed out. I have tried changing the time and I still get the same error. I am assuming this means that Labview and my device are not communicating.
I have seen some mention of instrumentation drivers, but I haven't been able to find any for my particular device. I am assuming that is the root of my problem, and that if I had an instrument driver to run my device in Labview that it would work properly. So here are my questions.
1) What do I need to take data from a third party thermo-anemometer in Labview?
2) Am I correct in thinking I need some sort of instrument driver? And if so, where could I find one (I have already searched for one and did not find it)?
3) Is it possible and practical to take data through Labview from a DAQpad and a third party instrument at the same time?
4) Are there any guides or tutorials I could use that may show me how to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've been trying numerous things to get this to work, and I've had little luck in getting exactly what I want. I have been able to get data from some example VI's designed for serial read, and I was able to tweak them some, but this data seems to be only able to be saved to a .txt file. I want the data from my anemometer to be read along with the time it was read and stored in a spreadsheet.
Instrument I/O Assistant appears to have exactly what I need to do this, but I can't get it to work. I keep getting the bff0015 error, which is that the device timed out before the operation completed. I don't understand why it is doing this, or how to stop it, because I am able to get data from the device otherwise. In fact, following these steps I can see the exact data I want:
1. Open Instrument I/O Assistant
2. On "Select Instrument" I select the correct port and then click "properties"
3. At the top corner of the window I click "Open VISA Session"
4. Once there, I go to the "Basic I/O" tab. Within that tab I click the "Read" tab.
Please see attached screenshots if you want to see what I'm talking about below.
At this point I can read the data from my device. The default count value is 1024 bits. If I click "execute" the device is read and I can read the data in the textbox that says "buffer." However, my device only makes one 16-bit reading every 1.6 seconds, so I have to let the device sit for some time before it can fill the buffer up with 1024 bits. If I don't, the reading takes place, I can see all of my data in the buffer, but the "Return Count" value on the screen is something significantly less than the "Count" value. This makes sense because the buffer did not have time to fill. Needless to say, the "Return Value" says "bff0015" which means it would return the time-out error.
If I wait for the full time for the buffer to fill, OR if I change the "count" value to something significantly lower, say... 32 bits, the buffer "fills" much faster, the "return count" count is correct, and the "return value" reads "3FFF0006" which I assume is a standard code meaning everything went correctly. I also notice that if I wait long enough, the buffer will continue to fill, and I can click "Execute" many times rapidly and get readings instantly. I can tell that the program is just reading data stored in the buffer when it doesn't take a second to perform the reading, and if I continue to click "Execute" rapidly, I will eventually expend the data stored in the buffer and I will start to see the "fresh" readings again.
So here is my question. How do I lower the expected "count" value in the actual "Instrument I/O Assistant"? I can do it in the "Open VISA session" under properties, but the only thing I can change in the Instrument I/O Assistant is the timeout value, but even when I set the value to 5 minutes, I still get the time out error. What else can I do?

How to use my Garageband amps?

I'm using an Alesis product to plug my guitar into my Macbook Pro in Garageband and use the 12 amplifiers that it comes with. I plugged one end of my Alesis into the guitar and the other end into the Mac's USB port, as instructed, and the light on the USB end of my cable turned a luminescent blue. I opened Garageband>New Project>Electric Guitar, and a window came up asking me if I would like to use this Alesis cable in Garageband to use amplifiers. I clicked 'yes', and I picked the amplifier I wanted (Stadium Stack). I added distortion as an effect and saved the setting. Now my problem is, how do I use it?

Sounds like you are using it. Are you saying you can't hear your guitar, did you turn monitoring on?
