I have a Zoom Q3 HD video/audio recorder, that records me playing the drums. How can I add the sound of the song I am playing to to this audio/video mix. Can this be done with Garage Band or iMovie?

Any clues???

How can I add different sounds for the alarm?

This seems simple, and I thought something lots of others would have asked about, but I can't find any threads on it. I tried elsewhere and so far all I have come up with is an Applescript called, "iCal Calling iTunes." It works but... I just want to add to the list of default alert sounds.

Hi Noodle-head,
To add more sounds to the list, add .aiff (and possibly other sound format) files to your user's Library>Sounds folder. Not a particularly obvious process.
Best wishes

How can I add new sounds to the alarm choices?

Is there no way to add new alarm sounds?

I think the issue is: how do you add custom ringtones to a touch? It isn't covered in the manual.
I can find references to doing so for an iPhone, but not a touch.
For example: How to create custom ringtones in GarageBand 4.1.1 at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1358

tornado2003,
What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
Take Care,
Richard
i guess you missed that:

Can I use a MOTU 828mII interface with Garage Band

I have a MOTU 828mII interface and I want to use it with Garage band. How do I set it up?

You should be able to no problem . I might be speaking to fast .. Now you didn't say what your weapon of choice was. An iMac or what. I use a MOTU 128. With an iMac.
As I remember you install the software for you MOTU unit. Then go check for the newest driver and install it.
Now for G.B... look in the preferences for GB .. Look at the Audio/ Midi settings. There you can select the unit you want.
Peace ...

Voices and 2 mics with Garage Band

Kinda new to Garage Band, so I'm not sure if I have the newest one or not. But I have 2 questions regarding Garage Band:
1. I noticed it has 3 different tracks for voices: Podcast track, male voice and female voice. Does it make any difference which is used? My husband and will soon be podcasting, and I'm not sure what the difference would be.
2. We're contemplating purchasing headset microphones. Would a headset splitter plugged into the "line in" jack work? Or would we be better off purchasing a good quality microphone be better?
Any other tips/hints anyone has would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Without seeing the interface, I don't believe you can record on the podcast track. That's for enhancement (jpg's).
However the male and female tracks can be used for lot of things, not just voicing. You can use those tracks for music and sfx's.
And you can always add tracks but using the pull down menu or clicking the big + button to create additional tracks.
I do a lot of podcasting. I'd advise you to purchase a mixer if you're using more than one mic and plan on using other outside sources of audio, such as audio recorded by mini disc or compact flash players. You can find a workable mixer for about a hundred bucks. You'll also need a digital converter to get that analog signal into your MAC.
Those things will run you around $200-300
If you're using one mic, and don't plan on any other audio sources, you can do without the digital converter, but my experience is you'll need a mic pre-amp. Those go for about a hundred bucks on up.
As for mics, you can find deals on those anywhere. The bigger houses (BSWUSA, Sweetwater and Guitar Centers) have a good selection. Again, just my experiece, but you probably want to start with a dynamic mic rather than a condenser, unless you have a real good sound proof studio. Condenser mics are 'hot' mics and pick up just about every background noise. Whether you want a headset or table/arm support mic is up to you. Again, there's a wide variety out there.
The support on this web site is terrific. You'll find a lot of good advice. Here's another one to check out: www.podsqod.com. The guy who runs it is always talking about cutting edge equipment.
Hope some of that helps...good luck!

Using a Shotgun Mic with Garage Band

I have Garage Band 09 on my MacBook Pro. I have a USB microphone that works great when I plug in into the laptop to record dialogue, etc.
What I'm trying to do now is use a Rode Video Mic plugged into the laptop and record dialogue with Garage Band. I have the Griffin iMic USB adapter that accepts the 3.5 plug from the Rode mic and then plugs into the USB port of the laptop. After making sure in my preferences that the iMic is chosen, I can only get a whisper of sound recording into Garage Band. I've tried the different settings on the Rode mic and looked through everything I can think of in the Garage Band preferences and can't get it to record strong, clear sound. I'm aware that a pre-amp mixer probably would do the trick, but I'm trying to find an economical version for now.
Does anyone have any advice on why I can only get a super quiet recording with this Rode shotgun mic?

Hey Hang Time,
Yes, there's the Mic or Line switch on the iMic and it has to be set on the Mic setting when using the external microphone.
I've been playing with the set up again and it's possible I may have found the problem. I was looking at the Recording Level in the control section of Garage Band and adjusted the recording level up. Now I'm getting a good strong recording. I feel foolish to think it may have been something so simple and relating to "operator error."
If anyone has any other suggestions or thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

Does airport express work with garage band in lion?

Actually I know it can work and there are apps out there to make it work but I heard a rumor that Apple was going to allow functionaliy between the two in Lion. So my question is...
Will Airport Express work with Garage Band in Lion or do I have to buy third party software?

I believe the HP 2840 can be connected either via Ethernet or USB. If connected to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) by USB, only the basic printing functions will be shared out; the scanning, faxing, copying features are not supported.
If the AX is configured so that its Ethernet port is enabled, the it may be possible to gain all of the printer's features by connecting it to the AX by Ethernet. In this case, the printer will use its own Print server to share out all of these features.

M-Audio Ozone compatible with Garage Band?

I'm trying to set up a very basic setup so my father can mess with Garage Band. Does anyone know if the M-Audio Ozone is compatible with GB? I'd like to be able to use the microphone and DI inputs as well as the midi functions. Thanks for your help!

I have never used one but there should be no reason why the Midi and audio interface would not work. I don't think the control surface part will have full function, not that is a big deal.

What products are available to connect a electric guitar to a IPAD 4 for use with garage band???

what products are availabe to connect an ipad 4 with electric guitar for use with garage band???

I know this will sound a bit snarky but the best source for information is an Internet search. Typing in "connect guitar to iPad" produced pages of products. This one looked interesting to me...
http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/jam.php?gclid=CPSpza6q2bQCFU6mPAodpmcAqg
I don't recall if the iPad 4 has the new lightning connector or not. If it does you'll probably need a 30pin-to-lightening adapter.

ALERT: Do not use Ae or Pr with Garage Band open!

This was driving me insane all week.
I was creating scores with Garage Band.
And Pr and Ae were playing back audio & timelines AT THE WRONG SPEED.
As I was on the phone with tech support, I realized this was caused by Garage Band being open!
As soon as I quit it, CC went back to normal.
Anyone who uses GB -- let's please file bug reports.

ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS PREMIERE CREATIVE CLOUD GARAGE BAND MAC AUDIO SLOW SYNC PLAYBACK ISSUES SLOW

I remember having similar issues setting up audio workstation DAW's for Slave/ReWire. Sounds like GarageBand took control of your Audio Card and set it to a different "Sample Rate" which would speed or slow the audio being used in other apps.
Sounds like you'll have to use GB either before or after Ae/Pr to prevent this... or figure a way to set your sample rates to match.

Audio INTERFACE that works with Garage Band??

Any suggestions for a good inexpensive audio interface? Fast Track is awful.... Something about 250 or under?
Want to plug guitar into device, device into MAC - and lay down tracks.

there isn't such a thing as "working with GB", if it works on a mac it will work with GB
and ProTools?
i know very little about protools, though they tend to be more proprietary
can we plug them in (to guitar and MAC) and roll?
yes
Or is a mic needed??
"needed", no. there are both 1/4" as well as XLR jacks, as you can see in the pics. you can use either.
