In garage band lessons the sustain seems to increase is there a way to adjust the sustain
wswilkinson ... sorry for the slow get back, my dance card has been full.
I've used 3rd party loops or samples. Myself I don't care for them because for me they seem to "lead" me in a direction. The loops direction .... maybe not how I started the song. So I haven't saved many loops into GB. When I did I had just "read how to" . ... then fumbled through it. So I can find those by searching for the names of them.
Even if I haven't saved many I think I understand how GB goes things.... but could be wrong.
GB has dozens & dozens of loops. Broken up in many groups. Country , Rock , World , yada yada .... Lots !! If you hit say "World" you'll find dozens of loops of ALL types. Drums, horns , keyboards , etc. But they are all mixed together.... if you just hit "World". So I have to test drive most sounds to hear what they are if I don't know what they are. GB breaks "World into different sounds too .... Bass , etc if you hit those. How did they get that way is what you want to .... Did GB just do it ?? Heck if I know .... One of the best places on GB info is
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/BBPages/Stuph/MusicianStuph.html so check here and please lets us know what you find out.
My thought is make a folder like I said ... named what you want . "My Loops" ( meaning they didn't come with GB " ) Break everything up into sub folders ... which I guess you may save/add to as you go a long. When you're done add that to GB's loops. Then look to see if "your" loops have been mixed into GB with you "only" adding the "My Loops" folder with it Sub groups .. You can always delete something if it doesn't work as you wish ... "ponder things " and try again.
Never have fear to jack around with things !! It's not screwed your life up yet ... Close GB & DON'T Save It if you're not happy ...
Peace & Good luck

Garage band lesson download fails
I'm on Yosemite 10.10.2
Garage Band is 10.0.3 but don't look in "About Garage Band" because that doesn't work!
I simply tried downloading a lesson from Garage band. The download seems to complete the 1.3 gig file dowloaded then fails to add to my library.
Every time I restart Garage Band it tries to download the file and fails every time. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS FROM APPLE but it gets so much better.
I called support and after 2 days and about 3 hours they said.....OH YEAH....its a known issue and Engineering is working on it.
Here's a thought.....DISABLE DOWNLOADS FROM THE LESSON STORE!!!!
Then I was told they can send me a gift and not refund my money????
A memory stick sir? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!
How about ear buds sir? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!
How about you refund my money! PERIOD.
I'm told due to licensing that Apple cannot refund my money? HAHAHA Get a grip. You connected to my system and can clearly see what I paid for IS NOT on my computer so refund my money and fix this software and disable the downloads until you fix it.

Same problem I had and Apple Store could not help me. But there is a solution that another guy posted the other day on this board you should try. It really works. This is the link to his post.
go to the discussion
Its a bit technical and doesn't make up for the fact that Apple has been negligent in fixing the problem so the downloading works as intended. Be sure to follow the thread as there is more explanation on how to accomplish this work around. -
I'm new to using Garageband and loops with garage band. I just wanted to see if there was a way for me to use the drum sounds provided in garageband to create my own original drum tracks and work with it like a drum machine that i can program an entire song into... any info or tutorials would be a great help.. Thanks!!!
Ah ok, I have a better idea of what you want to do now.
Unfortunately there isn't anything inside GB that can come anywhere close to Acoustica Beatcraft, but there are two tools inside Garageband that can help you do something similar.
First are the built-in keyboards, which will enable you to trigger drum samples with your computer keyboard or mouse. Go to Window -> Keyboard or Window -> Musical Typing. Click with your mouse on the Keyboard or press keys on your computer keyboard with Musical Typing, and you will trigger different drum samples for whatever kit you've chosen for that software track.
Next is the Track Editor: in Piano Roll mode, you can create and see midi notes somewhat similar to the view in this screenshot from AB. On the left side of the Editor, you will see a sideways piano keyboard. When you assign a drum kit to a software track, each of the piano keys corresponds to a different instrument: hi hat, snare, bass drum, etc---you'll have to play them using the on-screen keyboard or musical typing to see what they correspond to. In order to add a MIDI note you hold the CMD button and click with the mouse.
So, if you wanted to add a closed hi-hat hit, you would CMD-click on the Track Editor row corresponding to the closed hi-hat piano key, and then you can drag the MIDI note left & right to change the beat it plays on, or resize the note, which will change its duration.
Or, as you've already observed, you can use Musical Typing to play out a pattern on your computer keyboard while recording, and you will see the midi notes appear in real time in the Track Editor.
Hope this helps, feel free to ask more questions. -
Podcasting with skype,ichat and garage band at the same time
Hi,
so here is my problem I have a podcast show and I record one of my hosts through i chat into garage band and the other is a phone guest through skype.....everything is going through an alesis mixer...the problem is my i chat host cannot hear the skype phone guest....what should I do??Microphone into mixer. Output of computer into mixer. Skype and iChat routed to computer output. Skype, iChat and Garageband inputs all set to mixer output (either analogue output plugged into computer line in or using the USB connection). Turn monitoring in GB off.
Now everyone should be able to hear everyone, but the Skype and iChat contributors will also hear themselves coming back with a delay, which makes it very difficult to talk.
There is a way round this, but it involves having two separate audio-USB interfaces (which shouldn't be the same model) - they need to be able to handle both ways at the same time, and many don't. I assume that your Alesis is much the same as mine.
Microphone to mixer. Skype output and input to interface A. iChat output and input to interface B. Set GarageBand input to mixer main output as above.
Microphone channel : turn up sends to Aux A and B
Skype channel: turn up send to Aux B only
iChat channel: turn up send to Aux A only
Plug Aux A output to interface A
Plug Aux B output to interface B
You have now set up what is called 'clean feed' in the UK ('mix minus' in the USA). Skype should receive the microphone and iChat but not itself, iChat should receive the microphone and Skype but not itself. Everything should be heard by Garageband.
You may find some difficulty in getting this to work. The main sticking point is going to be that the interfaces have to work in both directions at the same time, and as I said, many don't.
Skype will handle conference calls and this would be a simpler solution! -
I bought garage band from the app store and downloaded it to my mac mini. When i try to open a screen comes up explaining i need to down load missing files. I do this but when try to open GB again the same thing keeps happening! Can anyone help.
Thanks
Hugh LockwoodHi, Hugo,
In similar cases it helped to remove the GarageBand "Preferences" file from the User Library.
Open the folder
your home folder > Library > Preferences
and move the file "com.apple.garageband.plist" to the Desktop.
Then try again to launch GarageBand.
Regards

I am using garage band for the first time. I dragged and dropped a song from itunes into the program and I want to extend the length of the song by repeating the first 28 measures. I can't figure it out. Please help. I have spent several hours trying to figure it out on my own but have not been successful. It seems like an easy task. Can anyone help?

split the region at the 28th measure

(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
then select only the first region and option-drag it to the end of the song -

No. Sell the 8gb and buy one with more capacity.

Hi at the moment my ipod is on manual sync mode. Is there any way of changing this to auto-sync without losing the music on my ipod or library? Possibly more importantly is there a way I can transfer the ratings from my ipod onto my i-tunes?
This is so I can delete music from my ipod knowing its rated on my i-tunes so I can then see later if I want to re-add it based on its rating
ThanksIs there any way of changing this to auto-sync without losing the music on my ipod or library?
Unfortunately there is not.

Not without the help of third party software such as this one:

I plugged in my phone to my macbook to transfer images. I pulled ou the usb cord without ejecting it properly and all the pictures from my phone got deleted and didint get transfered. Is there any way I can recover my photos They are really important.
Plug it back in and restore it from the backup that is made everytime you sync your phone. iPhone forums are here:

Hi Apple community,
This is my first go at this so be kind,
My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated. -
Is there a way to adjust the bass and treble on my iMac Power PC sound system?
Is there a way to adjust the bass and treble on my iMac Power PC G5 sound system? It has a lot of volume (more than my JBL speakers).
No, but iTunes has an Equaliser that enables you to do that.

By that I mean <command> + 1 for cyan, <command> + 2 for magenta etc. like Photoshop CS3 rather than <option> + 3 for cyan etc.
There's gotta be a way under Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts - but I can't find it!
Thanks,

Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the LG Extravert phone keypad?
having trouble with the keypad entering several of the same letters at the same time. Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity?
Hi Whitehouse,
When the physical keys are entering a letter twice, it will definitely be something with the hardware. Can you verify that the keys appearing twice aren't getting stuck when pressed? You should be able to feel the key returning when the pressure of the finger comes off. If they're getting stuck, please check the charging port and headset jack for corrosion and any other damage to the phone. If the phone is under warranty it may require a replacement. Please keep us posted.
Thank you,
