Live recording in Garageband, 8 input through FP10
I'm thinking of recording a few songs with my soon-to-be Macbook Pro, 13".
The plan is to rent a Presonus FP10 (8 input, Firewire recording interface), and to use it to mic bass, two guitars and a drum kit.
We intend to play through songs without stopping, no overdubs, etc. This must also be recorded in stereo.
Is it possible to record in this way, with this software and equipment?
I'd be very thankful if someone could help me out on this, I've got a bit of a deadline.
Thanks a ton.

yes.
worst case you might need to add an exteranl FireWire hard drive

I have a record player hooked up to a preamp which is hooked up through the audio port.The sound settings are set to have the audio port be "input". The input volume is registering high with fluxuations in the sound settings, but there is no output anywhere. Do I need some sort of third party application or widget to hear the record i'm playing through the speakers that are hooked up to my computer?
keithstopher,
You may want to check into a USB interface, as I believe you have a Mac with the single audio port, which can be used as input OR output.
You may want to check into something like the following, there are may out there, see what fits your needs best.

How do I use optical input for recording in Garageband 9?
Hi,
I'm trying to use the Optical Line Input on my G5 for recording in Garageband, using a MOTU 828. I have the 828 optical output connected to the optical audio input on the G5, and I have Digital In (Optical digital-in port) selected in system preferences/sound. But in Garageband preferences, optical or digital input is not among my choices. If I select system setting or built-in audio 2, I get no signal. If I select MOTU 828, it defaults to the analog master outputs on the 828.
I am a Logic 8 user, and I'm able to select the optical input in Logic with no problem. I have my MOTU audio setup set so that the optical output is the default output, but Garageband still seems to use the analog output. I can tell by the record level, which is considerably louder for analog than for optical.
Any suggestions?

I was doing some recording of our band yesterday using Logic Express 9 (13 tracks from a mixer going out the Firewire port into the Mac). For some songs, we wanted to replace the entire song, so I activated the replace button and started re-recording from the beginning. Visually it seemed to replace the tracks, and for many parts of the songs, it did just that. For some, however, there were still remnants of the prior recoding in the background. It was not consistent from song to song, sometimes you could hear some of the prior vocals in the background, in other cases the drums. These remnants were not throughout the entire song, however. You could hear it in some places but not in others. I do not see evidence of multiple takes when I look through all the tracks. It's as if it did not completely erase some of the prior audio, or blended it with the new recording.
Is there something else I need to do to get a complete replacement?
Thanks for any insights you may have.Hi,
if you have recorded the whole band through microphones, the earlier versions are ambient sound pickup from the mics of the other tracks. This can even occur if a singer wears a very loud headphone which you can hear through the vocal microphone. Just make sure during your recording session that all instruments that should be recorded very precise - without ambient sound - are recorded separately in a dry recording booth.

My partner and I live on opposite sides of the valley here in Phoenix. About 50 miles apart one way. We are Musicians and are working on a commercial for television, and would like to know if there is a way, between FaceTime and Logic, that we can configure our MacBook Pro's to record sessions together without having to be at the same house? When we FaceTime, he can hear my keyboard through his headphones, but we can't seem to get the signal routed into Logic and register to a track when its record enabled. Is there a way for us to save gas, and record at seperate locations, so he can engineer me and I can engineer him, while we build this project in Logic and Final Cut? Here is what we are using, we have nearly identicle setups, which was planned so we might be able to do something like this. Both of us are using Mid 2012 15" MacBook Pro's with 2.6GHz Intel i7 processors and 16GB RAM. The only difference between the two MacBooks is that his has an Optical Drive, but I removed mine and replaced it with a 2nd SSD Drive, so I have two Samsung 840 Pro's each with 512GB in my MacBook Pro. His just has one Samsung 840 Pro with 512GB. We both use Focusrite Saffire Liquid 56 Firewire Audio Interfaces, and we both use Logic Studio 9 Academic. I don't know if you need to know what we are using in order to help us figure out how to configure the MacBooks for a live session, so I figured I would give you those details just in case. If you need any more information, just let me know? Oh, we both have high speed cable Internet connections. Mine is 150Mbps speed which is the absolute fastest I can get in my area. And his is only a 50Mbps speed line.
Again, what we are looking to do is have a LIVE recording session, in Logic, with him at his house and me at my house. When we FaceTime each other, we can pretty much hear each others keyboards as if they were part of the conversation, and as crystal clear as we can hear our own when recording, but we can't seem to record enable an Audio track in Logic and route that keyboard signal into Logic and record it so we can engineer each other without either one of us having to drive to the others house, to be there to do it. If any of this even makes sense, I'm not quite sure how to better explain it. So hopefully you get what I mean, otherwise just say so, and I will try to do a better job explaining it. :-)
Anyone who can help us with this little problem would be greatly appreciated, and quite a hero in these two humble Musicians Worlds!! So from both of us, THANK YOU in advance for any input you might be able to give us. I look forward to hearing any and all suggestions.
ScottHey Scott
You and ALOT of people are attempting to do this, myself included.
Unfortunately at this point (to my knowledge) it's a pretty CRAP setup involved that will likely leave you frustrated.
HOWEVER:
A few things CAN be done:
IF you are getting live audio from your partner over the internet, you can re-direct that audio directly into Logic using a program called SoundFlower.
There are a few alternatives to SoundFlower, like JackTrip, and.....(the name eludes me)
(SoundFlower is from a company called Cyling 74 who also makes Max MSP. )
Once in Logic, you set your audio inputs to the track to be Soundflower. (either 16 inputs, or in this case 2)
That all being said, regardless to speed, you are still going to experience latency in the connection, and THAT is the part that will likely drive you to the mad house.
THIS all being said, I believe there are websites out there that are set up to actually do this kind of thing, (at least there WERE) but likely membership costs, and other "hidden" problems that you only learn about after you have signed on the dotted line. (Hopefully I am wrong?)
If you don't need to do a "live jam", there are always solutions like DropBox that work very well for exchanging large files quickly.
If you want to record live MIDI input from his keyboard, I am unaware of any solutions for this.
Due to the popularity of the iPad, you might want to look into the App store, and see if there is something available.
Good luck!

Live recording a semitone off?
I'm trying to record my synthesiser with GarageBand using a line in, and the LineIn application so that I can hear my input through the speakers.
Problem is, I can hear myself play a particular note on the synth (through the computer speakers) and it gets recorded into GB, but when I play it back it's a semitone lower. As far as I can tell this shouldn't even be possible, as I'm recording directly what I'm inputting and there's no program open that is altering the sound in any way.
Anyone have any answers?I'm trying to record guitar through the direct input and I'm getting the same problem as well. It plays back a semitone lower and it's very frustrating.
BUT... I found the solution. It worked for me hopefully it will for you too.
Go to GarageBand > Preferences and click the Audio/MIDI tab. You should now see Audio Input: System Setting. Change this to Audio Input: Built-in Input.
Now try to record using your real instrument and it should playback at the right pitch. Let me know if this worked for you! -
I recently uploaded a live recording to match and it appears (and plays) under "recently added" on the left menu. When I create a new playlist for this music it won't play and has the "ineligible" cloud symbol with slash through it. It must be in the cloud as it's playing now, but the content will not play if moved from "recently added" into a playlist. I'm puzzled. Any help?
Bit rate is 192 kbps
it is an mpeg file
Thanks in advance!I just went back and used Tunesify to convert from mp3 to aac format and it's working now. I've added over 20K to my match library and this is the 1st time something like thas has happened.

What to buy to record on garageband?
What to buy to record on garageband?
Do I need something by M-Audio to record vocals or guitar on garageband?
Maybe not NEED but would be good to have?
I haven't received my first Mac yet, but it'll be here in a few days. It's a G5 off ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT Bottom of page.
I want to be ready to use GB.
What would you recommend that I have externally?
Thanks...seriously...thanks.
JGThat's kind of a big question. It depends on what you're recording and what kind of results you want and what your budget is.
While M-Audio is a respected brand you certainly don't need any one particular brand. In some cases you can plug directly into the Mac's line-in. Of course you get better results and more flexibility with an interface, particularly if you use a microphone.
Check zzSounds, Sweetwater, MusiciansFriend, for Audio Interfaces. You want to consider USB vs. Firewire, how many inputs, do you need phantom power for a condenser mic, etc.
Check out the PreSonus Firebox and the Inspire, or the M-Audio Firewire Solo, or their USB FastTrack. (Firewire is generally more reliable overall but a bit pricier.)

How to record on GarageBand with a mixer
So hey,
after I've solved my problem with how to connect my mixer to my mac, there's another problem that came out.
I'm trying to record on GarageBand and when I do the first track all seem good. But then if I try to record to a second track it automatically records all the previous tracks as well. I have the output of the mixer to my external usb sound card's input and vice versa and on the mixers phones I have my speakers plugged in. Is something wrong with the connections I've made? Any help would be good! Thanx!
The mixer: Behringer Xenyx 802
The mac: MacBook (new)
The sound card: Hama C-media USB Audio Devise
The speakers: Logitech z323Because the vocals are being recorded as a real instrument you wont be able to record it and drag the track to in a way extend the sound as you can with other tracks. Other tracks you can as they are already installed in the garageband database. If you want a longer real track then the only eway is to play or sing for a longer amount of time.

Audio input through external microphone not 'heard' by computer
I can record audio with any app through the builtin mic. And I know the system 'hears' sound through the builtin mic when I go to SystemPreferences->Sound->Input.
I have an external microphone that I want to record through. I went to SystemPreferences->Sound->Input and chose 'Line In' and plugged in the microphone's lead into the 'in' jack. However the SystemPreferences->Sound->Input Input Level sensor/detector is dead -- it shows no audio input. Nor does iMovie pick up any audio input when the mic is plugged in.
I know the input jack works by plugging in the output pin from a cassette-player, choosing 'Line In', and playing a cassette. The Input Level sensor/detector comes on and the sound is available to apps.
I know the external microphone works by plugging it into the cassette-player and recording from it and tapping and rubbing on its pick-up. The sounds are captured on cassette tape.
So why is audio input through external microphone not 'heard' by the computer? Is there some trick to making it work?There are a few possibilities, but the most likely is that your microphone does not produce enough signal to be "heard" through the Mac line input. Usually this is normal, with most microphones producing perhaps 1/100th of the signal needed, which would be called "mic level".
You cassette deck probably outputs "line level", much stronger and strong enough to register in the Mac Line input. Similarly, the cassette deck microphone input is probably "mic level" and much more sensitive than the Mac line input.
There are other possibilities, such as a powered microphone, but you have not provided any model numbers or specifications to analyze.
Try this: plug in the microphone like you did before, and make a really loud sound right in front of the mike, like clapping hands. You may see or hear a faint sound register on the Mac.
The usual cure is to buy a microphone preamplifer. You can also buy a new microphone with a built-in preamplifier. You can also buy a USB microphone or preamplifier device that bypasses the analog Line input entirely. -
Possible to get "Live" recording playback with X-FI Xtre
Hi, I have the X-Fi soundblaster card, and I want to know how I can get "Li've" playback through my speakers, i used to use a cheapo soundcard through the motherboard and it was fine, but with the X-Fi, there is lag.
For example, I have RCA cables plugged into the front Auxiliary ports, these are set to record audio, however, the audio coming from the computer speakers is about second behind the actual audio, why is there a lag/buffer with the sound?
I want realtime playback and recording? is something wrong?Are you sure you don't use software monitoring feature for output (direct monitoring should not have much latency). If that wasn't your issue, you need to use ASIO device driver to get low enough latency (as like 2-5 ms). I don't know if you can set this as global for every source in X-Fi mixer (creation mode) ... if not (i.e. you need some software that supports ASIO) then, try w/ Hermann Seib's VSTHost -> stream the input through this software using ASIO drivers (latency set to as low as needed). You need to add one VST plugin (like EQ, volume control, meters, etc.) into signal path w/ this software. Sure there are others you can use. VST plugins can be found from KVR. It's easy to set up ... just set
- install the plugin(s) you want add into signal path and the VSTHost application
Settings needed in VSTHost:
- audio device to ASIO -> Devices...Wave..ASIO (set driver, samplerate and buffer size (52)
- I/Os -> Devices...ASIO Channel Selection (for output either wave or front, for input the port you have connevted your external source)
- latency -> Devices...ASIO Control Panel (set to 5ms)
- add plugin -> File...New Plugin... select th one you like to use (you can add several but you need to modify some parameters to get signal routed through all added either as parallel or serial.
- for recording ... open the recorder settings panel...make settings (channels, bit-depth)

I wonder, is it possible to seek a particular position using the seek function in the viewer application ?
i mean, is it possible to seek to a particular position when playing a live recording video ?

Trying to play Garageband back through Piano
Is this possible? I have my keyboard set up so that whatever I play goes through Garageband. This works perfectly fine, I can use Garageband as a sort of synthesizer like I want. Now I'm wondering if there's anyway I can use the MIDI In port on my keyboard to make the sounds play back through my piano instead of my laptop speakers. Anybody have any suggestions?
I've tried using midiO, but the instruction for that set-up is for an outdated version of Garageband. I'm under the impression that you can no longer access "further Details" for instrument tracks.Juckman wrote:

How to upgrade mac os x 10.5.8 to Leopard
