Line 6 with Garageband

Has anyone used Line 6 guitar products with Garageband, I would be interested in how you might have used these products, specifically the PODxt Live to work when recording guitar parts. Thanks.

I use a Line 6 Podxt (with 3 model packs)
Guitar(one is a Variax 500) (except for Variax )monster cable to input, L&R outsof Podxt (Monster Cables again) to Tascam US-122 USB interface
RCA outs to M-Audio DX4 monitors (powered) USB from Tascam to USB 2.0 input on my eMac 1.25ghz 1GB ram
I guess you can skip the interface but at first the Podxt's were haviing white noise issues with the USB connection so I had the Tascam so kept the set up that way. Sounds great!
I also use a Atomic Reactor 18 watt tube slave amp alternate Podxt with a Vox Tonelab for recording
with Shure SM 57 microphone.
I also add some effects from GB. The Variax Guitar adds some interesting twists as well I use
Variax Workbench as well.
Hope this helps!
Peace
D.

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.

Alesis Multimix8 usb with Garageband??

So I just purchased the Alesis multimix8usb mixer. Preferences are set correctly, usb connected, no drivers required...yada, yada.
Right now I have two mics connected (line1 and line 3, of the 4 available mic/line-in) and I've created to new tracks for the mics in garageband. My problem is that I can't get separate tracks for each mic. No matter what setting I use for the Input Source, I can't get a separate track. One track is mono1 and the other is mono2, but both mics are working on each track. When I enable both tracks for recording (to record live), no matter the input source (mono1 and mono2), both mics are on both tracks.
The answer is probably simple, as it usually is, but with my inexperience I have just been trying all possible combinations. Can anyone shed light? Or is anyone familiar with the set up for using this mixer with garageband? Any info or tips on using this particular mixer with garageband would be helpful.
Thanks!

yes, plug the console into the line-IN on the mac and set up GB:

(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
however GB would not be my recommended choice, especiall if the recording is to be unattended. if GB throws a modal error dialog it will cease recording; an audio editor is often a better choice:

Does ANYBODY know how to get a Bluebird Mic to work with GarageBand?

I bought this really expensive Blue Bluebird condenser mic and I'd REALLY like to get it to work with GarageBand. I have a cable that converts from low impedance to high impedance, then some adapters to plug the cable into my iMic, which then connects via a USB port. I know that's a lot of connectors, but it's the only way I can think of to turn the Bluebird mic into a USB mic. Can anybody help me with this? PLEASE??

that looks, uh, complicated.
none of it should be any more so than your current setup. if you went the interface route it would be Mic to interface interface to computer (USB or FireWire). if you went the analogue console route it would be the same, but into the iMic or Line-n on the computer
so I would need a female to male mic cable
standard mic cable, it's how they usually come.
Also, do you recommend the external Phantom Power supply, or a new interface?
that reaches more toward opinion, and also why i mentioned never using a separate power supply. you have to weigh cost vs quality (basically, what you expect from your final project).
if it's just for kicks, and your iMic's quality satisfies you, $20 for a power supply seems cost effective. if you're looking to reach the quality of recordings you hear on the radio, a better interface would be the right choice now since you'd wind up there eventually.
the in-between is the analogue console. having a mixer between the mic and the iMic definitely gives you more control since you can boost or attenuate the signal going to the iMic.
so the 3 choices you have would be: Power Supply-least quality, least control. Analogue Console-same quality, much more control. more expensive interface-possibly the best quality recording as well as good control.
since you picked a very good mic, i'd suggest looking toward a good interface like the FireBox (great Mic PREs for the expensive mic)
hope that helps

Using Amplitube Metal with Garageband??

Hey everyone,
I'm very new to the mac world - fiance and I just bought one last month. We also purchased Amplitube Metal (which I suppose is some king of program that just gives you a lot of different effects) and the stealth pedal thing (sorry, I don't know much about either lol...)
He is having problems running it with garageband. He is able to open up amplitube under the effects I guess, but garageband doesn't seem to want to work with it as it keeps quitting unexpectedly - and he cannot figure out how to record in garageband WITH amplitube effects.
If anyone can help- please do. I've been googling all day but can't seem to find any helpful info.
Also, sorry, I really have no idea what I'm talking about and neither does he lol

I never used a stealth pedal or amplitube but that won't stop me
You usually start by plugging guitar into a line in on the pedal and usb to computer. Open garageband (real instrument) click on Garageband > Preferences > Audio Midi and select the input in this case the usb codec, stealth or whatever the Mac see it as also choose the output (built in, line out or stealth pedal) whatever your speakers are plugged into. Open the track info window choose the input channel usually mono 1 or mono 2 and turn monitoring on. Make sure track is record enabled.
I believe Amplitube is a AU plugin so choose it from a empty slot in the effect edit window. Double clicking the Amplitube icon should open it in a window to make adjustments.

Using Yamaha Keyboard with GarageBand

Tried my Yamaha keyboard with GarageBand for the first time. To my amazement, it worked. However:
Cant' seem to get the volume up (on the Yamaha Keyboard). Checked all the volume settings, including the iMac's System Preferences, GarageBand volume settings but it's still relatively "soft."
I'm using a USB 2.0 15-ft. cable. Could the length of the cable have anything to do with this. Would a shorter USB 2.0 cable.........say 4-ft. ...... make a difference?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions

don't think I have some of the features to control
sound you suggest. (GB's Track Fader? Master Volume
Fader? "Generator" settings. "Pencil" icon.)
You have all these things. Each track has a fader (volume control), and at the bottom right of the window is the Master Fader (volume Control). Select a track and open Track Info ("i"nfo) icon), click details, and the pencil icon to the right of the Generator PopUp menu.
preferences, it does not show that USB port as a line
in......
Because it is NOT a line in. MIDI ≠ Audio.
just internal mic and audio line in
As it should be.
I don't understand why, when going to the audio
settings........both on Mac audio preferences and
GarageBand..........it doesn't show that USB as an
audio line in.
Because MIDI ≠ Audio
Also tried with Sound Studio...........a music
recording application that came with my iMac when I
purchased it a couple of years ago. It has worked
with the Mac's audio line in and with the internal
mic.........but doesn't pick up anything from the
keyboard via USB cable in.
Because there is no Audio to pick up. MIDI ≠ Audio.
Could the length of my USB cable have anything to do
with this? I am using a 15-ft. USB 2.0 cable.
No.

Problems using M Audio Fast Track with Garageband

According to the blurb, the M Audio Fast Track (USB) 'is class compliant in Mac OSX offering true plug-and-play operation. Just plug in, and you're ready to start recording'. This is why I bought it, but I am experiencing no end of problems actually getting it to register with Garageband '08.
The problems are (a) I cannot hear any sound coming 'through' the Fast Track and Garageband (b) I can hear the guitar if I plug the headphones into the Fast Track, but nothing is recorded in Garageband (c) my mic, which is plugged into the line socket intended for guitars because I don't have the larger connection, reports no sound at all.
Any ideas, or tips to how others have managed to set up this 'plug-and-play' device would be greatly welcomed.

Did you ever get this to work? I just today bought a Fast Track Pro. I have it hooked to my MBP via USB. I can see in control Panel two inputs:
M-Audio Fast Track Pro UDB: Line Input
M-Audio Fast Track Pro UDB: S/PDIF
Problem is, there is no sound registering on the Input Level on either choose.
I have the Power On and have tried both Input 1 & 2, bith in stereo and mono mode.
(Just to be clear, I connect the electric guitar directly to the Fast track pro, correct?)
I have read the owners manual but it is worthless. I thought this would be easy to set up.
Also note that GarageBand preferences the Audio Output and Input are selected to Fast Track Pro.
What am I doing wrong?

Using an Analogue mixing desk with garageband?

Hi guys,
As you can tell i'm really not a techie!
I'm looking to use a mixing desk with garageband, it's analogue and i have the new macbook pro retina, but I don't know how i could connect it to my mac. I need it for recording demos, but firstly will it be compatible? I dont wanna have to spend £90 on a pricey iRig when i already have a perfectly good Roland vs1680 sat here. Also, would I be able to use it to convert my guitar sound and output MIDI synthesised sounds from my mac to my Line 6 Amplifier?
Any help is appreciated,
Blake

unfortunately I do not have a second mac (g5 or otherwise as I sold it when I bought new one lol) to try this method. I did notice m-audio had updated there drivers for osx 10.4 but unfortunately these drivers only work for g5/g4/g3 mac and not for the intel mac keyboards so at the moment I do not have a workaround for this problem. I have emailed m-audio and asked for a timeframe for drivers but have not received a response yet so at the moment I am unaware of any usb midi keyboard that works natively for a intel mac which is rather tragic lol as garageband is basically unuseable without a method of inputting midi but hopefully someone will prove me wrong and suggest a solution. On another issue my usb keyboard and mouse had the freezing problem that seems quite common but after a lengthy phonecall to apple I asked for a replacement wireless bluetooth keyboard and mouse which I have received and can report works absolutely perfectly so there may have been a bad batch of usb keyboard/mouse combinations made. Otherwise everything is working perfectly and I am delighted with the new imac

How do I upgrade the ram?
The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.
Crucial
Other World Computing
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X - Yosemite
Revert to Snow Leopard
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

How do I use my controller board with garageband?

I have an Edirol PCR-30 controller board which I use w/ garageband 3.x. So far I've only been using it as a keyboard and not as a tool. What I mean is it has all these knobs and sliders but I have no idea how to get them integrated with GarageBand.
Can anyone explain this process?

Is there any way to use the Korg Kaossilator Pro with Garageband 6.0.5?

I'm getting pretty decent at working around with the newest version of Garageband. I've gotten my Akai MPK Mini (usb/midi keyboard) to work by adjusting a few preferences here and there, but for the last week I have been trying and trying to get my Korg Kaossilator Pro to hook up MIDI with Garageband. I understand if the program/software isn't as advanced as Logic or Ableton (be getting those soon!) If anybody could help me it would be MUCH appreciated
P.S. if anybody is having troubles with exporting the AIFF/WAV/MP3 audio files I could give you a bit of help. I have figured out how to correctly export the audio loops and sounds that I have made from my Kaossilator Pro into Garageband! It is quite simple actually and is ALOT easier than you would think. Following the tempo/pitch for your song w/ these WAV/AIFF files is really easy too! I have made almost 4 songs now just using samples and loops from my Kaossilator Pro. I just would like to know if anybody has found out how to use it MIDI w/ Garageband? It would REALLY help me out Thanks!

yeeeeah thats what i've been figuring out for the last 12 hours haha. kinda've a pain but hey it works out. u can still throw some pretty cool effects and what not. Even with MIDI cables running from my kaoss pro into my mac doesn't work. i can transfer the loops I make on my kaoss pro to the editor on my comp, then transfer those files to GB then go from there. It ***** there isn't a way to hook it in and sync it w/ GB so you can hit record then start jamming on the kaoss pro. Thanks for the response though!
