Playback of a Smart guitar recording track skips some notes.

I recorded a track using the Smart guitar in Garageband on my iPad2 and recorded a track of 130 bars. The recording was smooth and I could hear all chords and strings play well. However, when i play my recording, it skips several notes in between and I only hear broken audio. When I slide the track bar behind on the piece of track which skipped the notes, and play again, the recorded notes sound correct. Am I doing something wrong or is this an issue?

I have GarageBand on my iPad 2 and there are no latency problems with Smart Guitar during recording. I've encountered the problem only on the iPhone 4s. If I'm not mistaken, the iPad 2 and iPhone 4s have identical RAM amounts and identical processors, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Perhaps the software is not adequately optimized for the iPhone. I hope the GarageBand engineers are monitoring these forums....

  • Recorded track delayed on playback

    Just starting out with Logic. I'm using an Aurora 16 with firewire and a Macbook Pro. Tried to record some bass yesterday, and it seemed fine as we were recording, but the recorded track is delayed on playback. What's up with that?

    What were your Buffer settings during recording? I assume you didn't monitor through Logic (Software monitoring) but directly through your Interface otherwise you would have noticed the latency while playing. So set the Buffer settings in the Audio prefs to the lowest possible (try 32 or 64) and see if that improves the issue.
    Did you record with your Plug In delay compensation to "All" or "tracks+Busses" or off? Try "tracks" or "off" next time and also make sure you don't have a latency inducing plug on your Stereo outs like Adaptive Limiter or alike.

  • What are the notes of the Smart Guitar?

    When I open iOS GarageBand's Smart Guitar on Key C-Major, what are the notes I'm seeing? For instance, what are the notes when I tap the C chord string from 1 (bottom) to 6 (up)?
    My actual goal is to record all string tap sounds, cut them into respective pieces in Audacity, then save them as e.g. "C.wav", for further use in another context. I like how GarageBand lays out the chords so my small (noncommercial) program aims to copy this, albeit I'm not a professional musician (as you can see from my question, I'm sure!).
    Thanks!

    1. Keeping track of the individual conversations taking place between applications on the source and destinations on the source and destination hosts. 2. Segmenting data and adding a header to identify and manage each segment. 3. Using the header information to reassemble the segments into applications data. 4. Passing the assembled data to the correct applications.

  • Importing Garage Band recorded tracks onto Logic Pro 9 projects...

    Hi,  What I am wondering is, can I use the Garage Band on my Mac Air to record tracks and then import them onto Logic Pro 9 projects that I am currently working on?   I have a MacAir which I like for the the portability factor, and then do Logic Pro 9 on my iMac at home.  Will this work for recording tracks of real instruments such as bass guitars or acoustic ones via an UBS interface and my MacAir?   And then be able to import them onto Logic Pro 9...   Im wondering if there will be a big sacrifice of quality or incompatibility issues?

    Yes, I use it over WiFi and while it may not be as fast as manual copying via an external disk or thumbdrive (depending on the speed of your WiFi and the size of the fles involved), it can be a lot more convenient... and it is very simple to achieve.
    To answer your other question
    There are two types of compression.. Lossless and lossy....
    If you simply zip up your projects before sending you won't lose any quality.. as doing so doesn't affect the quality of any samples.. (ie this would be lossless compression)

  • Guitar Rig 3 - wah pedal not recording...

    Hi there
    How do I get Guitar Rig 3 to work so that when I use the Kontrol for wah, it picks it up? At present Logic is just recording the raw sound.
    Thanks!

    Doesn't the GR manual describe how to do all this?
    From memory, the issue is that you are recording onto an audio track with GR on it, and twiddling the pedal sends MIDI info, which obviously can't be recorded onto an audio track (because it's MIDI). And the effects of the pedal won't be printed into the audio, because you ar printing the guitar sound before it's processed with GR, so it's just the dry sound.
    If you want to print GR, you can use it on an input channel, rather than on the destination recording track. This uses GR pre-tape, and thus the audio from GR is recorded, not the dry guitar signal (you could always record that as well, to give you options).
    Lastly, you could probably also record-enable a MIDI track and record the MIDI data the pedal sends during the performance, and play it back to GR to replicate your pedal moves...
    But I'm sure the manual talks about all this...

  • Audigy 4/how do i preview track 1 while recording track 2. tha

    good day, i just bought a audigy 4 (not the special edidtion with remote, etc..
    my problem is when i open my production software (digital recorder--------
    say i record the drums on track in multi rack view. when i unarm track and arm track 2 to say record a piano. Then when i press play to hear track 2 it plays the drums i recorded on track . the drums on track record on all my tracks. i had this problem with the soundcard that came with my pc, i think somebody said something about it was pretty cheap and didn't come with preview or something...........anyways i just bought a Soundblaster Audigy 4, well it's far from top of the line but it's a big upgrade for me, any know how i can fix this problem of track being recorded on all the tracks. It's important for me to be able to listen to previously recorded tracks while playing a new .
    so does anybody know how and if Audigy 4 can do this? this is essential, i bought this soundcard for i could go from my hardware digital recorder to software digital recorder. if there's a way can someone give me exact instructions on how to do this.
    'm using audigy 4 soundcard, 2.53 ghz intel celron, 40gb hard dri've, 52 mb of ram, and the recorders i'm using are cakewalk guitar pro and adobe audition. thanks

    Just stop using "What U Hear" as a recording source. If you're using ASIO, the ASIO Mix L works like "What U Hear".
    As recording source, use microphone for microphone and line-in (or AnalogMix()) for line-in sources.
    For monitoring, there is a checkbox behind a tiny red plus sign in CT Surround Mixer (or behind advanced button in windows audio I/O controls) you may need to set (this setting and recording source selection from ct surround mixre/windows recording controls has no affect when you're using ASIO device driver mode in software).

  • What connectors do I need for my ipad so I can connect it to my apogee duet 2 interface essentially using the ipad as an instrument utilizing a few of the synth and drum machine apps to record tracks into Logic on my Mac?

    Ok, so I completely feel like this is a stupid question for those of you already in the know and recording tracks onto your Computers DAW from instrument apps on the iPad and other i devices. I can not seem to find out exactly what connector or unit I need to be able to connect and use my ipad as a instrument to record tracks onto logic. I have an ipad2 that I want to connect to my apogee duet 2 interface which is obviously connected to my Mac. I know Logic comes with plenty of drum and synth options but I still want to be able to use beatmaker, jam up pro and the sunrizer synth apps on some of my tracks. I do have the camera conversion adaptors. So my question is, do I just run from the camera adapter in the ipad into the midi port on my apogee interface? (I'm new to and still learning about midi) Or is there a special 30 pin cable I need to get that runs from the ipad into the XLR or quarter inch in the break out cables on the apogee? I did find one cord out there that plugged into the ipad and had left and right XLR connectors but my duets break out cable only has two inputs each is their own channel. Also , if the cable I need isn't midi  and does connect to the breakout cables, do I set it as an instrument or as a mic in the apogee software? Or am I completely way off base and needing something different all together. Any help would be much appreciated!
    I have a fare amount of experience when it comes to recording, set up and the flow of standard instruments, using external hardware and plugins. But the last few weeks I spent a lot of time programming some great beats in beatmaker on my ipad and I want to track them into Logic. It seemed like no matter how I worded the questions when researching what I thought was and should be simple to figure it out, it just took me to answers I wasn't looking for. Thank you ahead of time. Like I said I'm just starting to get out of my comfort zone and learn about midi and the more digital side of things. So sorry about any ignorance concerning that side of things.

    The new Apogee Duet for iPad and Mac, is compaible with iOS devices and includes a USB Midi input. This sounds like the perfect solution for your workflow.

  • Error message when working on one pre-recorded track

    Hello!  I'm using GB 5.1, and have been encountering a frustrating problem:
    I have one mp3 audio track (of a group discussion) imported from a digital recorder.  I've processed this kind of file many times, as a Real Instrument track. Mostly I've had no problem.  But with this track, after some editing, when I advance the playhead to a different place in the track, a loud click happens and the following text appears in a window:
    Part of the project was not played.
    This project has too many real instrument tracks to be played in real-time.
    To optimize performance, see the 'Optimizing GarageBand performance' page in GarageBand Help.
    Moving the playhead to different places in the track brings the click and the same error message, except that sometimes the track will begin playing, only to have this repeat again. When I quit the project, delete it, import the raw mp3 again, and begin editing, sometimes it works, but sometimes, like now, the same problem occurs after just a few edits.
    I don't understand the "too many real instrument tracks" error, because I'm using only one.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    The error message may be misleading. You may see this warning, when your Mac is running out of RAM. For example, when you have too many open applications that are RAM hogs, like Safari, iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iTunes. Or when one of the applications you are running has a memory leak. Do you see any error messages in the Console window?
    I'd recommend to reboot your Mac, before starting to work on your project - that will free any memory, that other applications may have been leaking;  also close any application that you do not really need, while working on a music project.
    How much RAM do you have, btw.? And how full is your harddrive? If this is running out of space, you may see similar warnings.
    Regards

  • Using Garageband and I cannot hear previously recorded tracks on headphones.  Prefs are set to output on EMU0404 my audio device - this did work but now is not working.

    I am using Garageband and I cannot hear the previously recorded tracks on my headphones.  I am using an audio input/output device, EMU0404 - this was previously working fine but stopped.  All cables check out OK and so does the unit - I have updated to the latest version of Garageband but this did not help.  Any suggestion?

    Hi Christoph,
    I cannot see anything wrong with the EMU0404.  This is what puzzels me ... Garageband looks OK - headphones are OK - EMU looks OK.
    Thanks anyway

  • How do I burn a recorded track, on logic pro?

    How do I burn a recorded track, on logic pro?

    Bad?
    I am far from an expert at Logic, but I found making a .wav file or .MP3 file fairly easy.
    Using the edit menj, I select all the tracts in my arrnage window.  Having done that I bounce the selected tract to my audio hard drive, having named it.
    I can then import that audio file and others into Itunes and then burn a list of compositions onto a CD.
    There must be several variations on that process but that one works well for me.

  • How do you add 7 chords to smart guitar chord patterns

    Trying to create a song with G7 chords.  How do you add the V7 chord in the chord patterns on the smart guitar in GB iPad?

    When you are in the smart guitar screen, tap on the wrench icon (top right). Choose "Edit Chords". Tap the chord on the guitar you want to edit and swipe the chord "wheels" to choose the tonality, etc.

  • Cange chord strips for smart guitar

    Hi, I am looking to change the selection of chords in the smart guitar, but idot know how. I would like to add an A Minor. Can anyone help me configure the chord strips?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Thanks guys, I reported it to apple.
    It's even more unpredictable though. It seems to me that on a key change the auto strum buttons play the correct chord (not being a musican I am not sure if this is even true, and now I certainly don't trust what it says).
    It seems to me that it's the strings that don't get updated properly. Some do, some don't, some do after playing a different chord or playing the chord with the chord button.
    Example, between the key of C major and C minor as. before you have a G and a Gm chord.
    Play the chord and strum it in C major and it should sound the same.
    Change to C minor and without playing any other note or chord, strum Gm... it's still playing G, wrong.
    Now strum any other chord and then strum Gm again.,.Now it has suddenly corrected and does play Gm.
    As a quick test I changed key to D (major or minor I can't remember) and practically every single strummed chord is wrong.
    All I can say is Apples test procedures are woefully inadequate. This is an embarrassment.

  • Is it possible to use a third party software synth to record tracks in GB3?

    I bought a Korg K49 MIDI keyboard to use with the software instruments in GB3. It came bundled with the M1Le synth software, which I installed on my Mac. Is it possible to use the M1 software synth to record tracks in GB3, and if so how?

    I imported three different softsynths on my Intel iMac. They were all AU plugins, and deleverd as Uninversal Binaries. They are all great sounding syths, and completely free! The sytnhs are: Zoyd (mono-timbral, but "fat" sounds), Crystal (multi-timbral, many many knobs and sliders) and Automat. I made reviews on them on my website, but they are in Dutch. There al links on my pages to the websites where you can download them. I made some audio-samples, which you can hear on http://homepage.mac.com/videoholiday/.Public/Muziek/u_he_zoyddemo.mp3 (Zoyd) and http://homepage.mac.com/video_holiday/.Public/Muziek/Preset34%20en%2086.mp3 (Crystal). Please let me hear if you like them.

  • Smart Guitar help...

    Wondering if it's possible to get different guitar pedals/FX for Smart Guitar in GB app for iPad
    The only reason I ask is because I saw a couple youtube videos where people were playing familiar tunes and riffs on SG (AC/DC, GnR...) and they sounded almost spot-on to the actual guitar sounds that are naturally in the riffs. 
    Naturally, they may have had the iPad output going through an external unit for the modulation, but nonetheless it would seem possible to add "in-app" purchases for such pedals and I'm wondering if this exists.

    This is the limitation in GarageBand for iPad. You can use (import) different effects, regardelss if there are stompboxes, amps or synth. You only can work with the parameters of the provded effects and sounds.
    If you think about how difficult it is just to get audio files and Apple Loops into the iPad, imagine dealing with external plugins. May in the future with  iOS12.
    Hope that helps
