Organ in Garage Band

Dear All,
I've a problem playing organ.
I mean, I've plug the usb-midi cable between my Mac and my keyboard (Gem Workstation). I've tried all the instruments without any kind of problem. But when I use the organ instruments, I notice that using the Mac keyboard it works, but using my Gem Workstation not.
What could be do? something connected with Audio setting? a Bug?
I've asked to a "specialist" in an Apple store and he told me that this it is!?!??!?!?
Thanks for Your reply.
Kaddo

Thank You Very Much!
Now it works very well!
Fantastic.
Ciao

How do you add non-Garage band instruments into a Logic project so that you can hear them on playback?

How do you add non-Garage band instruments (orchestral instruments) into a Logic Pro (8) project so that you can hear those insrtruments' sounds on playback? I've tried to understand and follow the Logic Pro 8 User Manual, but the process comes off as so complex and the writing so technical that it does not help but only confuses.
To be precise - I want to add instruments (orchestral) that are not offered in the current Garage band menu which is offered in the Mixer's channel strip menus for Logic Pro 8. To be clear, the instruments that are offered are Bass / Drum Kits / Guitars / Mallets / Organs / Pianos and Keyboards / Synth Basics / Synth Leads / Synth Pads. Most of these that I've tried seem to work and give their characteristic sound when placed in a particular channel and playback is clicked.
However - there is one orchestra instrument offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Mixer channel menu and it's the item labelled "Performance - 000 flute 1 or 001 flute 1." And it is this instrument that presents a problem. When I click on it and choose it from the menu and enter it as the instrument of choice for a specfic channel / track in my Logic Pro project arrangement, when playing back the music for the overall piece this particular track, the flute, does not playback and produce the notes (Midi events) in the track in the sound of the flute. Instead, nothing comes out at all. I can't imagine why this does not work. Any ideas, anyone? Again, when choosing this instrument for a track and clicking the playback no flute sound is forthcoming. Why not? I have not tried them all, but when most of the other various types of keyboards, such as an electric piano or an organ, are chosen for a track the playback successfully renders the sound of these instruments. Why then does playback not produce the sound of the flute when it has clearly been chosen to play and sound the Midi events given it?
Anyway, the overall, larger issue for me is the inability I have to choose and get non-Garageband instruments (largely orchestral) to play the Midi events given on various tracks. If my guess is correct then technically, orchestral instruments not offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Garageband Mixer channel menu are referred to as external Midi sampled instruments - still, IMHO the process is not clearly spelled out in the User Manual. The simple step by step process whereby a non-Garage band instrument, say an orchestral instrument, is placed in a channel replete with Midi event (notes) waiting to be played should be easy, logical and given in a simple to follow format, but is not.
What with all the talk of routes, busses, auxillary channels, GM devices, GM mixers, audio bins, libraries and audio files this Logic Pro User is confused to the max. Can someone please help me and, in simple English, describe the step by step process whereby presumably external sampled orchestral instruments can be successfully employed, in any given Logic Pro arrangement project, to render their characteristic sounds upon playback?
On my two Macs, one a laptop and one a much larger Mac, I have any number of the GSO (Garritan Symphony Orceshtra) and Vienna Symphony Orchestra instrument library samples - and yet - I've yet to figure out how to actually get them INTO a Logic Pro project of any kind! To put this as a question, even as a humble request, how can I make good use of these orchestral sample libraries in a Logic Pro project? Can someone steer my to a clear resolution of this issue. I'd sincerely appreciate it! Thanks all!

David, you understand that this is professional software and is not necessarily meant to be easy but is in fact designed to give the professional user as many choices as possible, that's why it's in the Pro Apps section. You WILL need to learn about buses, GM Devices, Audio Bins, Libraries...etc..etc if you intend to use Logic.
That said, you are looking in the wrong place in the channel strip.
May I offer you advice?
Go here:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
Open "Exploring Logic Pro" (a short PDF Document). Pay special attention to chapter 3. Also pay special attention to the included graphics of the channel strips.
I encourage you to read the whole document as it will clear up many things... even though it's a Logic 9 document.

Is it possible to edit the voice of a song created in Garage band?

Hello to all!
Using music tracks, I am singing songs in different languages using Garage band. After I import these songs into my FCPX projects, is it possible for me to break up the individual tracks [the music track apart and the voice track apart] so that I may apply effects to the voice track alone?
Thanks in advance.

I am not an expert in GarageBand, but if you are exporting a single AIFF file from GB there is no easy way to separate those tracks.
Better to export them separately to begin with. I can't see an automatic way to do it, but it is not difficult to do it manually:
Suppose you are creating a song called "MySong" and you have a music track a vocal track (or several music tracks and a vocal track, the idea is the same).
1) Disable the vocal track by clicking on the little button shaped like a speaker. Export your song using Share->Export Song to Disk... and call it, say, "MySong-Music" (don't use compression, so that GB creates an AIFF file rather than AAC or MP3 - you may have heard numerous admonishments against using compressed audio in FCP X)
2) Enable the vocal track and disable the other(s) and similarly create "MySong-vocals".
3) Import both audio files into FCP X and (optionally, but probably a good idea to keep things organized) make them into a compound clip. Note that you'll need to open the compound clip's timeline and manually move one of the tracks below the other, as the compound clip will have them in sequence; but they are the same lenght, so there is no synchronization difficulty.
4) Make as many edits as you like

Garage Band/Hammond Bass Sound/Casio Privia/Split Keyboard

Hi, I'm not great with technology so I would love a simple answer if possible.
I have connected my Privia 320 to my Mac and run it through garage band successfully, but I was hoping someone could answer the following questions:
1. Does anyone know of a good Hammond bass sound available on Garage Band or a way to create or download one?
2. Does anyone know how I can split the keyboard so that the left hand remains with this bass sound while the right hand can flip through various patches of other organs or synths or whatever? The keyboard itself has a split button but I can't figure out how this might help me while running through a computer. I have always found Midi stuff terribly confusing.
Thank you very much...

As for question #2: GB doesn't allow you to split the keyboard, sorry. It can only listen to midi signals on one track (=instrument) at a time.

Is there a way to get a version of the Garage Band app that runs on version 5.1.1? I have an iPad 1 and can't get any higher iOS. The App store is telling me that Garage Band only runs on iOS 7.

Unfortunately the answer is still no.

I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab. How do i get these things to show up on my program?

In GarageBand 10.0.2 you can no longer add all kinds of effects freely; this GarageBand '11 feature has been discontinued. Pick one of the predefined patches that already has the effects you want.
However, you can add effects from the predefined audio units.
You'll see the predefined effects on the track, when you open the Smart Controls. To add audio units, click the button and enlarge the the smart controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the Track Area upwards.

Garage band real instruments

When I plug in my studio link to record my bass and guitar on garage band it does not pick them up at all.
I have done everything suggested on the garage band help.
Any idea what to do?

they're all just Cables with different types of connectors.
every one I've seen is, yeah, and it really ticks me off that they continue to advertise them as if they'll just magically work. it is simply not true for most people.
I agree. For most people, it's really false or at least misleading advertisement.
Unfortunately, we have seen several cases of similar behavior on the part of manufacturers and retailers.

Cant hear real instruments on playback in Garage band

Can anyone tell me why I can't hear the real instruments in my song in garage band version 5.1 on macbook. I could hear everything while recording the tracks and the last time I listened to the song but now all I can hear are the software instruments. I can see the WAV data and the VU meters are moving on every track. I opened up a different song and I could here the real instrument on it. All settings etc are the same , nothing is solo'd, ? ! Any ideas please ? !

In the new GarageBand the quantize is per region.
For a real instrument region open the Track editor.
Select the "track" tab and click "Enable Flex"
Select the "Region" tab and you will see the "quantize" control.

Garage Band is recognizing ".aif" format loops but not ".aiff" format loops

All of the ".aif"-formatted loops (from Jam Packs, etc.) are showing up fine in the Loop Browser, but other loops I bought from third-party vendors that are in the ".aiff" format are not showing up at all in the loop browser. They are all in the same correct folder for loops on my system along with the working Jam Pack loops. I tried dragging and dropping a bunch of these loops onto the blank space on an open session based on some advice I read on the internet, and Garage Band processed them (and created new instrument tracks on the screen for each loop) but they did not subsequently show up in the loop browser as I had hoped. Do I need to reformat these to ".aif" somehow? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Just to follow up, draggging the loop folders into the loop browser didn't work exactly on its own, but I got it to work in the following manner. First I went to the finder and deleted the apple loop indexes in each of the two locations where apple loops are stored in my computer (note to Apple: why multiple different folders for Apple Loops?). Then I dragged all of the Apple Loops that were stored in the second loops folder (in the Library under "Audio") to the first Apple Loops folder. Then I dragged both entire Apple Loops folders (required even though the second one was now empty) into the loop browser. Upon dragging the second one in, Garage Band automatically began reindexing my loops and then everything showed up in the loop browser correctly, finally. Apparently both (or all) locations where Garage Band stores loops must be individually dragged into the loop browser to trigger the reindexing process. This process was harder than it should be and I feel like it represents an annoying bug in Garage Band, in addition to the help from this post I also had to google research the problem for quite some time to figure out this process.

Garage Band Loops are all greyed out,

There are no drum loops at all on my garage band. They are all "greyed" out. This is a new mac and came with leopard which I installed myself. Could it be that the install didn't go correctly and needs to be redone or is this something additional I have to purchase?

Does this article contain anything useful?

No Garage Band Loops are installing

Hope you guys can help me. I have installed iLife and have been attempting to use Garageband. Certain looping elements seem to work - but the Drum, Piano, Bass and Guitar loops do not seem to install. I have done multiple reinstalls and the Loops just don’t seem to be there. I DO have all of the single note samples of instruments, Sounds and Jingles and Garageband Demos.
I have read the previous posts about deleting the Apple Loops Index and then dropping the folders of the loops into the browser – but I think my problem is different: I have gone through the video tutorials and noted the names of some of the drum and bass loops that they used and then I’ve done a search in my computer for those loops after installing iLife. Names like 70’s Ballad Piano, 80’s Pop Beat and 80’s Dance Bass do not exist. I have done a search for AIF files and there are 3185 AIF files in my computer.
As I was about to try yet another installation, I decided to try installing just the Garageband element of the software rather than doing an easy install. While I was in the custom install portion of the software there are multiple checkboxes for the various elements of ilife. There are three portions: Garageband and two subfolders under Garageband named Garageband Instruments and Garageband Loops – which are grayed out. These cannot be checked and it would appear that the only elements that CAN be installed out of Garageband are Sounds and Jingles and Garage band Demos. This makes no since. Garageband opens and it plays back instrument samples and demos. It appears that it has total functionality with the exception of the Apple loops with are not even installing.
HELP!!!

EDIT: Nevermind

I am trying to connect my ipad version of garage band to my mac book pro so as to record directly from the ipad as a midi instrument but with no success. Can you help?

I am trying to connect my ipad to my mac book pro. I want to use the ipad as a software instrument (playing from garage band) and to record in garage band on the mac book. I have plugged the ipad in, turned on the ipad and opened up garage band but the mac book pro has not picked it up. Why? Any suggestions.

Maybe it should, I'm all PC here so I can't actually test it myself. As far as I can recall all the stuff I've read has GarageBand for iOS acting as the recording instrument in the MIDI relationship rather than an input device for something else.
Could be worth posting to GarageBand for iOS Feedback and suggesting it as a feature.
