Need info...new to GB

I'm new to macs and new to GB. I'm a musician looking for a way to create music to share with other musicians via mp3 downloads through the our website.
Is this possible with GB?
Also...I realize from what I've read that I can't use my own keyboard sounds....but i can control the internal sounds of GB with my keyboard, right?
thanks for any input.

Hey man, i just read this whole post, you'll get what you're looking for with garage band. As with any recording program, the problem will be recording drums, but the loops in garage band are killer, far above most of the stuff on PC in terms of sound quality. I'm a music industry recording and production student at ASU in north carolina, and I do a lot of my own work right here in my dorm room w/ Garage Band. It has its limitations (i.e. no way to reverse tracks, and there are a few more, but most of them aren't very significant), but for what you're going to be doing, it will suffice. (If you've ever used sony's soundforge on PC, this will be a MUCH welcome improvement.) Garage band is the way to go, for the price, most programs that cost up in the 100's of dollar can't beat it.

  • IBooks means iTunes Info needs some new fields

    Hope Apple reviews these. Now, the Info about iTunes items needs some new fields to reflect books. Specifically, it could use Editor, Author(s), Publisher, Edition, Copyright Date, and ISBN.

  • Do I need a new hard drive & can I use Leopard?

    I have a PowerBook G4 17" 1.5Ghz with OS X 10.3.9 on the original 80GB hard drive, I've been getting a lot of problems with the computer acting very slowly and getting 'hung up' with the color wheel spinning endlessly, during which nothing responds, I can't force quit, the only thing I can do is force a shut by holding down the power key. Sometimes it takes a long time to start up. I've tried re-installing the OS but still the same problems. I ran the Apple Hardware Test which gave this error code "2STF/4/3:ATA-100 ata-6-MASTER".
    Does this all mean that my hard drive is going down and I need a new one?
    Can I use any size hard drive e.g. a 250GB one?
    Also - If I put a new hard drive in can I then install Leopard?
    All info received with many thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    That code means there are problems with your hard drive. If you look at Disk utility (on your hard disk in applications/utilities) you may see that the S.M.A.R.T. status shows a problem. Or if you have SMARTreporter installed, it may not be green.
    You can certainly use up to a 160GB hard drive. There was a discussion recently suggesting a BIOS (basic input output services) limit to 160GB ... I don't know if that's real or not.
    If you do replace your hard drive, you might consider the slight price premium for a 7200rpm drive. You'll appreciate the extra snapiness in response time. And yes, you can install Leopard on it. After installing the new hard drive, boot from the DVD drive and use disk utility to format the hard drive in mac os extended (journaled) format. Then you can install Leopard.

  • Keynote says I need a newer version but I have 5.1 latest version

    I have Lion and Keynote 5.1. When I try to open a 1gig presentation (years of work!) it says, You need a newer version of Keynote to open this. I have trashed all earlier versions of keynote, and downloaded 5.1 from app store. On 'get info' on the file it says it opens with 5.1.
    All was well until I installed Lion.
    Help!

    You have both applications on your Mac and are opening the wrong one.
    Pages '09 will not open Pages 5 documents and Pages 5 usually damages Pages '09 documents and refuses to open any earlier versions.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder:

    Need info on windows xp pro purchase

    A Windows 8.1 Product Key will not work for a Windows XP install.
    Please do not read this sentence. Please ignore the previous sentence.
    Hi,
    We wont use the Win 8.1 Product Key - We will Purchase new Windows 8.1 License for the fourth PC but install our copy of Win XP on the machine (we have only 3 License that we used for the older 3 machines).
    Carey's reply only speaks to the technical aspects of installing a dual boot environment.  It says nothing about licensing which is what I think you are asking about.  I do not believe that you can purchase a Windows 8.1 License and apply it to a
    Windows XP install.  You need to enter in the Product Key when the OS is installed and I seriously doubt that the XP install will accept the 8.1 Key.  If you don't have a 4th key for XP you won't be able to have a legal copy installed.

  • G5 liquid cooled needs a new logicboard...HELP

    My fathers G5 was tested at the apple store.
    they said it needs a new logicboard.
    CAn I do this?
    it has dual 2.5's liquid cooled.
    Do I need to make sure the new logicboard is a match?
    will others work?
    Replacing logicboards is new to me.
    Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi ksgraphite-
    Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
    Replacing the logic board will be a very involved job and there is much that could go wrong. If you are up to the task I would suggest checking with these folks: MAC-PRO

  • Trouble opening a just created Pages file.....error message says I need a newer version of Pages......Apple Store says I have version 5.0.......opening an older Pages file it says I have version 4.3.......can not find any way to try another upgrade to 5.0

    Trouble opening a just created Pages file.....error message says I need a newer version of Pages......Apple Store says I have version 5.0.......opening an older Pages file it says I have version 4.3.......can not find any way to try another upgrade to 5.0........please help......
    Thanks

    Personally, I would not recommend deleting/removing the iWorks 09 folder for several reasons: one is that the new versions have had several functionalities removed and until you decide that you can work with the new one and do not miss any features the older version had, I would leave the old one in place. Personally, I will not be using the new versions.
    The second reason is that you can accomplish what you want using a different approach: simply open a Get Info window of your document and choose which version of Pages you want this to open in - you can also stipulate that all docs like this are opened with whichever particular version.
    FWIW: Once you have edited an old document in the new Pages version, you can no longer open it in the older version. However, you can still export it to the old version.

  • Macbook shuts down without charger plugged in, does need a new battery or is it something else? thx

    My macbook works with the charger plugged in but even when it shows it charged without the charger it shuts down. Does it need a new battery or is it something else. How do i check battery life?

    It probably needs a new battery. Check your battery info by clicking the Apple menu and select about this Mac, then either click more info or system report depending on which version of OS X you're running.

  • Do i need a new battery if my computer only works when it's plugged in?

    my lap top only works when it's plugged into the adapter. it doesn't CHARGE anymore. it works fine when plugged in but shuts off if it's not. Do i need a new battery? i just got a new charger because the one the computer came with died. please help!

    Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you are running 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion), then select Power from the left hand column of the System Profiler. Copy and paste the Battery Information from the top of the page back here.

  • Do i need a new SWCV and a business system

    Hi Friends
    Do i need a new SWCV and Business suystem for every scenario .
    Let us say i created one file to iDOC scenario with the same sender and same target system
    and now for the same Sender and Reciever i want to create one more scenario which is again a file to idoc
    So for this do i have to do all the stuff in SLD again.
    Thanks

    No you need not create a new technical and business system. You can use the existing technical and business system defined for the same source and target system. You just need to go to the "Objects" tab in ID and add the business system to your scenario.
    As far as technical and business sytem info:
    SLD is based on the CIM model ( Common Information model)
    this model clasiifies the system in terms of SWC, Product, TS, BS to list down....
    TS--> Technical details of the system likeserver name, IP etc....it mostly identifies the system with it's technically ( this gives option to change the TS in future suupose you change the server or its configuration etc)
    BS---> represents the BS usuage identity suppose youa re using the SAP r/3 clnt 100 is sued for develoment activity 200 for QA here the R/3 palys the TS system and 100 200 plays int he Business system....for that particular business wht'a the role of this system......
    Do award points if you feel your query is answered.

  • Do I need a new battery or is there another problem?

    I bought my Macbook Pro in 2006 and haven't had any problems until recently. My battery doesn't hold a charge very long when my computer isn't plugged in. I calibrated it a couple times and now after a couple hours the computer just turns off and is extremely hot underneath. I don't know what's going on. Do I need a new battery or is there another problem? Here's some info I pulled up about it:
    Battery Information:
    Battery Installed: Yes
    First low level warning: No
    Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 410
    Remaining Capacity (mAh): 77
    Amperage (mA): 308
    Voltage (mV): 12604
    Cycle Count: 63

    MissArtist32,
    the figures you provide indicate that your battery is so close to completely dead that it is a wonder that it will run your computer at all. A Full Charge Capacity of 410mAh is less than a tenth of what it was when new.
    The fact that you have only completed 63 cycles in more than three years probably explains why. Even with normal use 3 years is quite a good "lifespan", but Lithium Ion batteries need regular use to prevent deterioration. Most batteries of this age will have been through at least a couple of hundred "cycles".
    Once you get a new battery try to let it get through at least one discharge / charge cycle every week. The best way to do this is to use it for brief periods of time off the charger ever day or so, rather than charging it right up and draining it right down.
    But one thing is for sure. Your battery is in very , very poor condition indeed. Time to buy a new one.
    Cheers
    Rod
