The new M-Audio Oxygen keyboard with 'DirectLink Mode' is the only keyboard on the market that has general control over GB. A better option is to buy the Korg NanoKontrol and download the plugin from the Korg website which has quite a decent amount of control... more than the Oxygen series. There is probably room to velcro it to the top of your XP-50.

Help using a Roland Edirol R-09 with Garageband (kinda bootleg)

Being a career musician, I'm pretty low on funds and I was trying to figure out a cheap way to record music. I used to do this on my old computer (which was a PC) and I never had any problems, and I was wondering if anyone stumbled across anything similar:
I have an Edirol R-09, which is not an A/D converter or an audio interface - its primary use is for recording and storing - i.e. it has two stereo mics built into it and an SD card inside, so I can, for example, record my band's show and later connect it to my computer and it acts as a hard drive. I simply take the files from the SD storage, put them on my computer, and do any audio effecting (EQ, levels, etc) after. However, I got this bright idea which I tried on my old computer:
I wanted to start multi-tracking while recording my own songs (i.e. record drums, then bass, guitar, etc in a program such as ProTools). On my old PC, I had Cool Edit Pro, and I simply connected an 1/8" stereo cable from the headphone jack on my Edirol into the 1/8" stereo input on my computer, and used it as a sort of bootleg A/D converter. It all worked fine, besides being slightly inconvenient. Through Cool Edit, I was simply using my Edirol as a microphone, and then I could multitrack, do bass, vocals, whatever else I needed.
However, now that I got a Mac and am using Garageband, I'm coming across an extremely irritating problem that I just can't figure out how to fix. I'm connecting everything EXACTLY the same as I used to, but now as soon as I have the cable plugged into my Edirol and power it up, the input signal is plagued with static. You can still hear whatever I record, but there's this relatively loud static underneath everything (and it's ONLY int he tracks I use the Edirol with). I've tried different settings and connections, and I only get the static when the Edirol is powered on and connected to the System Input on my Mac.
Has anyone else tried anything like this with different results? I would usually think it's a problem with my Edirol, but I tested it on my stereo, my other computer (PC), and even a guitar amp and the static only seems to appear in Garageband.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I generally reserve the R-09 for live recording and dumping it into GB for mixing.
Do you have the same problem when using other programs (Logic, ProTools, Audacity, etc.)? If so, depending on youyr budget, perhaps you might want to invest in an inexpensive USB Microphone. They can easily be found for less ta $100. I have a Samson and the quality is outstanding.
Strangely enough, I have found the built in Mic on he Mac to be pretty decent as well.

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

I am using iMac OS 10.7.2 with Garageband'11 6.0.4. I can't record sound from mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and preferences but no sound from mixer to iMac. Need help.

I am using iMac OS 10.7.2 with Garageband'11 6.0.4. I can't record sound from mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and Preferences but I can't get no sound from mixer to iMac only sound from iMac to mixer. I only can record sound using microphone line in. Please help.

Eric,
Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.

Contact tella to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Only the wireless carrier to which an iPhone is locked can unlock it.

Audio error with garageband and external usb audio interface

I am using Garageband 2.0.3. under ios 8.0.2 on my iPad 3 and via camera adapter a USB audio interface Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 or a Presonus iTwo.
When I start Garageband, it works well, the audio interfaces are recognized and I can record a track.
As soon as I switch from instrumtent to track view, the audio path is completely disturbed and all I can hear is some noise from the speaker.
Then I have to unplug the usb cable and plug it in again. Then audio works until I switch back to the instrument menu.
When I use the headphone output only there is no problem with Garageband and everything works fine.
Other applications audio applications don't show any error with each of the two audio interfaces.
Any feedback is very much appreciated, thanks.
Harald

I have this exact issue. However, I tried the Loopy app after after GB crashed and received an error message saying that core audio is not available. Rebooting resolves but the problem repeats. Any suggestions as to fixes? Btw; I have no such problem with Ipad 2 and ios 7.

Anyone using Cakewalk/Roland A800-pro controller with Logic?

I'm looking to buy an extra keyboard besides my Fantom X8 to use onstage and trigger sounds from the Fantom. So it has to have a classic MIDI-out and a nice keybed. The A800-pro seems the right board to do that.
But when at home I want to use it with Logic also. The A800-pro has the ACT system of Sonar integrated, but I don't use Sonar, I use Logic on a Macbook Pro (wich maybe will be taken onstage too).
Is anyone using the Cakewalk A-pro series with a Mac? How does it function as a controller? Or what other board do you recommend instead? Does it funtion well with mainstage?
Thanks in advance, Wilmar

Thank you both for your input. I am back on the case again, this time with a fully functioning FCB1010. Right ou of the box the pedal does successfully send volume and pan with expression pedal a and b respectively.
What I would next like to accomplish is to have exp. ped. b now control a plug-in parameter instead, the pedal range on the fuzz-wah plug-in of Logic Pro 7 for expample.
When I use Automation Quick Access to edit the assignment of ped. b as Bryan suggested, Logic appears to be receiving the info from ped. b and creating the new assignment (as indicated in the Controller Assignments window), and yet the actual functionality doesn't change, that is, ped. b continues to control pan.
Any suggestions?
Best regards, Dan

Used to be able get iMessages with iPhone and iPad. Cannot register # or email.

I used to be able to get iMessages using either my phone number or email address besides the me.com one. Now I can't and it won't verify them. I am not even given the choice to add my phone number as on my wife's phone. It keeps telling me I have to register my phone number and email addresses.
Then when I attempt to I am told I need to put in a "code" sent to me on the iPad but have no clue where to look for that code. Nothing shows up in Messages or an email.
HELP!! My wife's iPhone 6, bought and set up the same time, works fine.
Using Yosemite and iOS X latest versions of each. Verizon service.

Hi NeddafromFl,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you are trying to use a phone nnumber and email address to use Messages. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

I'm using an older iMac G5 (PowerPC) with Firefox and MacOs 10.5.8. I no longer am able to watch video clips because Firefox recently auto-updated to 3.6.24; is there an older version of FireFox that would work with my PowerPC, and where do I find it

I used to be able to watch video clips off a streaming website, but it's been getting more difficult and now it no longer works. I suspect that my older Power PC G5 Mac is not compatible with the newer Firefox version of 3.6.24. I suspect that if I used an older version of Firefox with my system, I could get back to watching video clips. Would this work, and if so, where can I download an earler version of Firefox that would be compatible with my Mac and MacOs 10.5.8?

You might want to consider extending the lifespan of your G5 by using a different operating system. I put [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu Lubuntu] on a G5 recently and it runs the newest Firefox just fine. Lubuntu (pronounced Loo-boon-two) is sort of an Ubuntu lite - a user-friendly version of Linux. There are many applications to choose from, and it's all free.
The PowerPC I did this on was one of the old Bondi Blue ones. Firefox had no problem running on it at all and has all plug-ins needed for video, audio, etc.. I gave it to a church and it's running fine for them.
You can download old versions of Firefox, but you'll just open yourself up to security problems if you do.
FYI: The Mac operating system is built on Linux.

Trouble with loading videos - Manually manage music and videos not supported now with iOS5 and a 1st gen iPad?

Since updating my iPad 1st gen to iOS5.0.1 videos don't get loaded properly into the Videos app.
On the Summary page in iTunes of my docked iPad, I have always checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos".
I have my reasons for doing it this way, but that's for another thread perhaps.
The problem is that when I load a video to my iPad this way - by simply just dragging it from the desktop and onto the iPad, under Devices in iTunes - it copies/updates, and shows up on the iPad like it always has before iOS5. But now, with iOS5, when I undock, it can't be found anywhere within the Videos app on the iPad. The only way I can find it is to do a Search, which seems to find it, but when I click it, a different video plays - the first video in the Movies list in the Video app. Dock the iPad again, yes the video is there, according to iTunes, but no way to play it once iPad is undocked.
My suspicion is that with iOS5 you are no longer able to use the "Manually manage music and videos (Mmm&v)" that you will be forced to run everything through iTunes - and probably iCloud. I've unchecked the Mmm&v box, and get prompted with "Are you sure? - All existing content on the iPad will be replaced with content from your iTunes library". READ - "Rebuild your entire video and music collection, and this time run it all through iTunes. Welcome to iOS5. Have a nice day or two wasting your time rebuilding your entire video and music collection. Don't fight it. Use iTunes for everything! Until we finally make iTunes a decent piece of digital media management software, then you'll have to do it all again."
Okay, rant over - Anyone out there with running iOS5 on a 1st gen iPad with the Mmm&v option checked and able to load a video manually (not through iTunes)? Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Yea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually.

Can I use our PC with existing SCXI setup (conencted to a PC by PCI-MIO-16E4) and use one labview application to communicate with FP and SCXI systems at the same time?

We have an existing PC with SCXI setup. can i plug in a PCI-485/2 card connected to a FP-1001 network, and get both systems to be utilized in a single labview VI?

Yes, you can utilize both sets of resources (SCXI and FieldPoint) at the same time from the same VI.
If you were using the SCXI RS-485 interface, the SCXI and FieldPoint system would have to be on separate serial ports. Beyond that, there should be no real restrictions on accessing both of them.

Podcasting with GarageBand and Skype

Hey all,
With iChat and GB, GB automatically puts each speaker on it's own track. Can this be done with Skype? I tried to arm two tracks for a Skype conference and was told it couldn't be done. I like how GB separates the iChat interviews, but not everyone has iChat. Can we do the same with Skype somehow?

your other participants don't need iChat, they just need to connect to iChat, they can use AIM, or any AIM compatible IM software for their OS.

HT1476 Using original charging cable that came with phone and now says not supported. Have only had phone a week. Tried it on new Nano and say alert. It won't charge either devices?

Have a brand new iPhone 5S and Nano iPod. 5 days old. Using original charging cord and getting message from both units that the cord is unsupported. Is the cord damaged somehow? It looks fine . Today I was trying to SYNC Nano with laptop to transfer MP 3.

Hi Gerardo,
You are going to have to take your device and charger cord to an Apple Store. We have no way to diagnose why it is not recognizing it as an authentic Apple charger. If it is defective, they will replace it free of charge, since you are still well under warranty.
Cheers,
GB

I use firefox 16 on windows 7 with Xmarks and now all my bookmarks are gone.

I recently began using Xmarks with Firefox 16 on a Windows 7 platform. I got some sort of an error message (I think from Xmarks) regarding "Bookmarks". I clicked on the message to fix the problem and zapp all my bookmarks were gone. I found my "bookmarksbackup" profile file. but can't get it to open. I suppose that I need a JSON viewer. I downloaded a opensource viewer that looked good, but still don't get anything that remotely resembles my old bookmarks. I thought that I might be the victim of a virus, but I'm probably just the victim of my own ignorance.

hello pianonanda65, please refer to [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
