I think I have done something wrong. I used my Apogee Jam on a guitar project with several audio tracks in Logic Pro 9. And while the Apogee Jam still was connected, I switched to another project with only instrument tracks (synths). I forgot to change the "Built In Input". After I did this, my guitar sounds like crap when I try to use Apogee Jam in the same guitar project, or also if I create a new project. I use Guitar Rig 5 (Native Instruments) as my guitar plug-in. But the guitar sounds strange even if I don´t assign Guitar Rig.
Can somebody help me?

  • No sound from Apogee Jam with iPad mini and Lightning-30 pin adapter

    Hello everybody.
    I'm trying to use my Apogee Jam with iPad mini but I am unable to hear any sound from it. Jam seems to work, since the led become green and react to the guitar signal. I tried two different guitars and different cables but nothing changes. Jam also works perfectly on MacBook Pro and garage Band, so I first assumed the issue was in the iPad or in the Lightning-30 pin adapter (genuine).
    Oddly on AmpliTube I can tune the guitar, so some signal arrives to the iPad, but I can't do the same on JamUp, where the tuner seems not to reiceve any signal. Are there some settings I should check on the apps?
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Make sure you have the monitor input turned on in GarageBand. http://youtu.be/Eb8bN3tExio

  • USB MIDI CONTROLLER- LOGIC PRO 7- I CAN SEE THE LIGHTS BUT NO SOUND OUT?

    I just got logic pro 7.2 so i am very green, garage band automatically recognizes the usb midi controller and i can hear it,
    in logic it recognizes it i can see the lights for sound levels but no sound is coming out, ive been trying to figure this out.

    Heck, if loneliness is your thing... more power to ya!
    now why cant i hear the midi
    MIDI doesn't make a sound. You either need to assign a software instument to it or use an external device, all depending on the track you chose. If you, perhaps elaborate a little more as to what you did (typing with your caps lock released), there's a better chance of getting your problem solved. If you're hearing your recorded guitar, then there's a chance you selected the wrong type of track to record to as far as MIDI tracks go (there is a difference in Logic).

  • Garageband - using apogee Jam and acoustic guitar sound

    Hi
    I am trying to record an acoustic guitar on garageband (using my actual acoustic guitar), however the sound of the low strings sounds really muffled and low quality. i am using the built-in mic on my Mac to do this, not any external equipment. Is it advisible to always use an external mic and/or directly plug any instrument directly into the Mac? Are there any methods to improve the sound of recording?
    I also purchased an apogee Jam device to plug electric guitar and bass directly into my Mac and record. It seems to be working, however, i cant get any output sound at all (when playing or recording). it does record, but only like an unplugged electric instrument would sound. On the 'Track' menu at the top, the option to 'show monitoring for real instrument tracks' is greyed out when i have the Jam plugged in. i cant find any way to hear the instrument in Garageband at all.
    I am using a Mac Book Pro, Garageband 11 V. 6.0.5.
    Any help, much appreciated!
    Thanks
    Dom

    Dom,
    Double check that your JAM the selected input source by opening System Preferences>Sound>Input and select JAM. When you open GarageBand make sure to start a new "Real Instrument Track" or "Guitar Track" (if you want to add any crazy effects to the acoustic signal). Also make sure to select the button "I want to hear my instrument as I play and record."

  • Audio via USB displays input level but no sound is heard.

    I have a Roland System 1 synth that features audio via USB. I have installed the drivers, and the System 1 is showing up in my menu for system preferences/sound. When I select the System 1 as my input device, play the keys, and adjust the synths volume knob, the input level meter responds accordingly, showing that the Mac is hearing the output of the synth. However, I can not get the sound to come out of the speakers! The Mac's internal speakers are set as my output device, and they are turned up and working fine with all other audio.

    I have MIDI working fine in my DAW.
    I just can't get any audio to play through USB, which is a feature of the System 1.
    System 1 is set as my input device (driver has been installed) within system preferences/sound, I play the keys, and adjust the synths volume knob, the input level meter responds accordingly in the preferences window, showing that the Mac is hearing the output of the synth. No sound is heard.
    All other Audio/system sounds/itunes/etc. can be heard.

  • How do I hear Garageband in multitask? I am playing guitar in GB using Apogee Jam. Would like to read lyrics in Safari while hearing guitar in background. But I can only hear GB when it is the active program. Sound stops if I switch to another app.

    ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
    ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
    Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
    On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
    Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
    As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
    Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
    I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

  • I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my Mac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events

    I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?

    Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this?  I fear this is a really stupid question!
    My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails.  But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments.  To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work.  If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level?  or both?   
    Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there  a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

  • Hi, I tried to download a bunch of my favourite TV episodes.  I was unable to get them all due to lack of storage.  I increased my storage but the downloads didn't come.  I tried deleting the already downloaded and viewed episodes but don't know how.

    I'm wondering if I should increase my storage again but I'm not sure that's the issue.

    You need more storage on your iPad, however, it can't be increased. iCloud storage is ecternal to the iPad and is used for backup.
    You need to delete some item on the iPad.
    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.

  • Static in GarageBand when using Apogee Jam

    Hello,
    I am using an Apogee Jam as my guitar interface with GB. I have noticed static/noise when I am playing. I have GB version 6.0.5. I never had any static before. I have checked my cables and it does it with all my cables. I'm not sure if it is my interface or GB. Any other Apogee Jam users having this problem, before the most recent update to GB?
    I am using a Mac Mini Late 2012 version.
    Thanks!

    Hello sclc,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand when you are using Skype on your HP Envy Touchsmart IS-j052nr running Windows 8.1 you are hearing static, whether using headphones or the speakers. Now are you only hearing the static noises when using Skype, or whenever you are using headphones or require sound from the speakers?
    After some research on the Skype Support Forums, I have seen a few recommendations which I would like you to try to see if that reduces/removes that annoying static sound. Please follow the steps listed below:
    1. Sign into Skype
    2. Go to Tooks > Options > General > Audio settings
    3. Uncheck Automatically adjust under the Microphone and Speakers sections
    4. Set volume to your preference
    5. Save and restart Skype
    If you are still experiencing the static noise, I would like you to continue here: Skype Audio Problems Trouble Shooting
    Please reply back with the requested information, if the static noises are still there and it is only when you are using Skype, I recommend going to the Skype Support Page as they would be able to better assist you.
    I will watch for your reply.

    That is stealing. Your friend has no right/licence to give the songs to you. It violates copyright law.

  • HT2311 Unable to get iTunes working on iMac with OS X 10.6.8.

    Unable to get iTunes working on iMac with OS X 10.6.8. Have rolled back a couple of versions and same problem. iTunes seems to open but all functions are greyed out and must force quit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. On a couple of occasions have had options available, but once selected it hangs, and then all is greyed out and must force quit. Incidentally going directly to a song (before running iTunes) will open iTunes and play, but all options are still greyed out.

    It could be corrupted preference files, or a corrupted library file. You could try dragging the preference and iTunes library files to your desktop, launching iTunes, and see if the functions will then work. Your songs will of course be missing, but if that fixes the problem, you can put the files back one by one and see which causes the problem. If it's just a preference file, just trash the file and reset your preferences. If it's the library, post back and we can help you rebuild.
    Regards.

  • Can I use apogee jam on ipad 4 with lightning 30 pin adapter?

    Can I use apogee jam on ipad 4 with lightning 30 pin adapter?

    OKAY Mikivai73, here's what I found: no less than TWO cheap alternative-brand imitation connectors that go 30-pin to lightning, failed to even make apogee jam device light up blue.
    Spent hours mucking with it.  Finally tried proper genuine apple usb to lightning connector with the OTHER cable that comes in the apogee JAM box, and it worked straight off!
    So, I am buying a genuine pukka APPLE 30-pin to lightning adaptor in the full expectation it will work, and have left questions for the Ebay guys who sold the two cheap (less than 5 pounds sterling) alternate adaptors.
    For info, I got the Ipad 4,and the cheap adapters, one looks like the real apple one, right down to packaging, the other is a stumpy little thing, no cable just a plastic connector, with 30 pin one side, lightning other side.
    That's it, I am ordering from the apple store now, can't be more certain than that.
    best regards from sleekitwan.

  • No sound using stereo mixer with speaker balance s...

    No sound using stereo mixer with speaker balance set between approx 95-100% of max to the right
    Setup: good quality functional soundcard, fine when audio not routed via Skype, mixer enabled, Skype mic / audio auto disabled, issue present when tested using a variety of different systems, latest version of Skype was used on all machines being tested
    Issue: When the speaker balance is set approx 95% to 100% to the right speaker channel using the Windows audio control no sound is generated. The issue is absent when audio is not routed via Skype. This would seem to be a Skype bug and would like to report the issue as a bug. Has anyone else encoutered this issue? Is there a resolution?

    Yes, I restarted my computer yesterday and this morning all my sounds is controlled by the left/right blance percentage. 

  • When I connect my guitar using apogee jam the note drops off after a few seconds. Why???

    When I connect my guitar using apogee jam the note drops off after a few seconds. Why???
    Its the same on most of the preset amps.
    Please help, the apogee cost me £80!

    Is it stopping recording after 8 seconds? Are you using Garage Band?
    If both of these are correct:
    This is actually a feature (i'm not sure why it defaults to this).  Instructions for the iPhone version are below:
    With the amp section open, touch the sproket on the upper right.
    You should be in a "settings" type area with three tabs.  Touch "Sections"
    Select the section and switch it to automatic - it will now record until you stop recording by touching the stop icon.
