Record audio Yamaha Clavinova and Garageband

I want to record audio: keyboard playing live and vocals,(the clavinova has a voice processor onboard) and also play a midi file with live vocals.
I've never done this using Garage band. can someone give me the steps? I'm somewhat familiar with Garageband but haven't used it a lot. I could use a step-by-step tutorial (video?) if there is one

Do you have an audio interface with two inputs?
You need to cable the output of the keyboard to one input on the interface and the microphone (for vocals) to another input on the interface.
Create two real instrument tracks in GB and set the input for each track to the input on your interface.
The MIDI file can be played back in GB simultaneously on a software instrument track with the instrument of your choice.
For a really, really good video tutorial, starting with the basics on how to use GB 09 I recommend these guys:

  • Problems with M-Audio Fasttrack Pro and Garageband after 10.5.2

    Hi all,
    I use GarageBand daily with my M-Audio FastTrack Pro and have had absolutely no problems until I installed the 10.5.2 update.
    Suddenly the Audio randomly cuts out when I'm recording, monitoring or playing back - also my recordings appear to skip and jump too. Usually I can rectify it by power cycling the Fasttrack but the problem re-occurs after about 30 seconds of recording.
    I have double checked the I am using M-Audio's latest drivers and have repaired permissions and the disk. I was wondering if anyone else had had any problems with this?
    All help would be appreciated, looks like I'm going back to 10.5.1 though.

    Hi !
    Still no answer from M-Audio but it seems that they are not in cause.
    I read on several topics of Apple's Forums some similar problems with other audio devices and also with some USBhubs.
    I ran some little tests and for my case, using the other USB port of the MacBook seems to resolve the problem (but that's not a permanent solution for my point of view).
    Using a selft-powered USBhub works also, even on the port that makes it crash without hub.
    As I studied a little bit of electronics, it looks really like a problem of power supply through USB to me. It could be some kind of micro-cuts (or micro-undervoltage) that are sufficient to cut the audio stream and freeze a bit the system but not enough for MacOSX to switch significantly to the internal audio.
    But two questions still remain :
    Why one USB port of the MacBook and not the other one ?
    Why since 10.5.2 ?
    Steve, if you hear me ;o)
    'Hope they will react quickly !

  • Recording audio through firewire in GarageBand, possible?

    If I hook up my XLR mic to my Sony PD150, then hook the camera to my MacBook Pro through firewire, I can record in Quicktime fine. However when I try the same thing in Garageband it doesn't work (in Preferences, the only 2 options are "in-built mic" and "in-built line in"; in Quicktime I get a "DV Audio" option which is my firewire input).
    Does Garageband just not support Firewire audio at all, or is it just my particular setup that is confusing it?

    any help greatly appreciated

  • Record audio with labview and audio dataplugin

    The thing I would like to do, is write waveforms to WAV/wma/mp3 files.
    The way to do this, is probably with the help of the audio data plugin.
    However, it is far from clear how to configure and use this plugin with LabView. There is documentation available for DIAdem, but what good is that to me, as a simple LabView user?
    There is also an example for reading dataPlugin data with LabView, but this example is:
    A) not working, e.g. it cannot open a simple WAV file, when using "uspAudio" as DataPlugin Name
    B) not documented
    C) not handeling errors
    D) only reading, not writing, which is slightly more complicated.
    So, tips for writing waveform to audio files and/or
    tips for working with dataPlugins in LabView would be welcome...

    Ok, so, now I can read a WAV/WMA/mp3 file, see attached VI
    There's still one problem: writing data to a WAV/WMA/mp3 file. In my "DataPlugin Write Audio File.vi" I try to read from / listen to a microphone connected to a AD card. On the Waveform graph, I see my signal correctly, but in the WAV file, there is only a flat line (zero's).
    Perhaps it is needed to add properties to the group, but I don't know which properties to add...
    All advice is appreciated...

  • Why is it necessary for this app to record audio, take pictures and video WITHOUT my permission?

    Playstore permissions to install Firefox.

    It it likely due to the HTML5 features of firefox, it should ask you if it wants to use your camera, before actually using it.

  • 1/8 of a beat off??? when recording audio and click??? HELP

    Okay so I upgraded to Logic Studio and I'm having this problem that basically has crushed my work flow... Here is the problem:
    When I record new audio from my FirePod in to Logic Studio the recorded audio is approx. and 1/8 of a beat off??? It is really annoying me... Any ideas of what the problem could be? Please help if you can, thanks.
    Bill K.

    Thanks for the tips... but unfortunately all my settings seem to be in order??? Anything else I could try? I do record to an external 7200rpm firewire 800 drive and I have the FirePod using firewire 400... this set-up worked great with Logic 7.2???
    Please help if you can

  • Logic 7.1.1 won't let me record audio!

    Installed Logic Pro 7 as upgrade to Logic Express. After initial install, I was able to record one audio track. Also, wanted to get my external midi modules to play back through audio track. After switching the audio driver back and forth between Built-In Audio and FireBox, something happened where I cannot see the "Rec" button in the channel strip. Therefore, cannot record audio tracks.
    I checked to see if I could record in Logic Express and GarageBand and worked just fine. Back to Logic Pro 7, it also seems that changing input/output sources in the Audio/MIDI setup app had no impact on anything. I changed the output to Built-in audio and would still hear through the FireBox. Interesting in GarageBand I can set the input to FireBox, the output to Built-In Audio and can hear what I'm recording and audio instrument and audio tracks through my computer speakers. Not the case in Logic - when I go into the Audio setup, I can only choose one driver or the other (Built-In or Firebox). As mentioned earlier, making changes to the Audio/MIDI Setup has no effect in Logic.
    Please help.

  • High pitch noise when recording audio using internal mic

    The issue I am having is with the internal mic. When recording audio using quicktime or garageband.It is a high pitch noise that stays whether i am speaking or not. The fix i found was to lower the input volume of the mic in system preferences. However, this causes my voice to be recorded so low that audio is barely usable unless volume is all the way up. Looking around the web I found this gem:
    http://www.usingmac.com/2009/6/18/recording-speech-with-garageband-2009
    This help me get rid of the high pitch noise for Garageband. The noise still there for Quicktime. Any ideas on how I can keep the same mic input volume with out having to listen to the high pitch noise?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Did you do the usual stuff, such as reset PRAM?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    There are some sound settings in PRAM, although I think it's only for sound output.
    Also, as a test, I would create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
    Log out and log in to the new account (do not use Fast User Switching). In the new account, try recording something using QuickTime, and note if this problem recurs. If it does not, you have eliminated a few possible causes, such as a problem with the overall system installation or a hardware issue, and isolated the problem to something in your normal user account.

  • Urgent: Flash Player 10, record audio - save locally on button click?

    Hi there,
    I am wondering if Flash Player 10 will allow a Flex app or a Flash app the ability for the user, inside of a web-page, to record some audio with their microphone then click a button to activate the OS's Save File dialog? The user would then just save the audio on their local filesystem.
    I was thinking this had to be done with a Java app, but I am seeing that v10 allows saving if the user initiates the action (button click)... i cannot a definitive answer or example that shows recording audio without it going to FMS or Red5.  The requirements of this app prohibit a media server so I am not sure if this can be done with Flash Player 10?
    Is this possible?  If so are there any examples of this flow?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Hi, everyone,
    If we can record audio from Flash Player 10 inside of a webpage and save audio files onto our local places by the use of mic applications, it will be very convenient. In fact, we can turn to use other available programs to record audio from flash and save locally by clicking buttons. It is possible to use recorders to record audio on flash or any other media players.
    I don't know whether my guess is what you are thinking or not, perhaps you need to search for more information.
    Regards.

  • Level Meters on "Record Audio" have disappeared

    I'm using 10.0.8 with OS 10.8.3 and yesterday connected a Blue Microphone Yeti as the Sound Input Device. When clicking Window>Record Audio, the window to select the Destination, Input Device, Gain and so on appears but the level meters at the top of the window are unresponsive. That is, the sound level scale is present but no green bars show input level. I can still record a voice-over fine, the clips appear in the timeline and the sound meters on playback display properly but yesterday the "Record Audio" meters worked and today they're gone. Any ideas on what I could have done to make them disappear?

    So it doesn't sound like it's a hardware or drivers problem.
    I updated to 10.0.8 and I cannot find a way to reproduce this. (But I'm not running 10.8.)
    Try the trashing your preferences with Preference Manager.
    Good luck.

  • I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

    I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

    Hi, I have this exact same problem. I haven't been using an iRig, just a cheap USB-jack cable. I managed to do this with the first cable I bought, but since it broke I've been unable to find a replacement that allows me to hear the drums while recording. DId you manage to get over this issue? If so I would really like to know how. Thanks and best wishes.

  • Recording audio on garageband

    HELP! I've recorded audio on garageband as a podcast using the female voice and it sounds pretty good when I export it to my itunes. I tried emailing it to someone else though and they said they couldn't open it in itunes or windows media. They were finally able to open it in QuickTime but the volume was so low even when they turned it up they could hardly hear me speaking. I need to save it as a normal mp3 i think so I can send it to people and they can listen to the audio in whatever program they use but i dont know how to do this and make the volume louder. thanks for the advice!

    Go to share in menu and choose Export to disk and choose mp3.
    To make it a little louder you can try boosting the track volume and master volume some. But if it's loud enough when you play it in itunes it should be the same when someone else listens to it in itunes.

  • Problems recording audio through garageband

    Hello Mac world, I'm completely new to the Mac computers, and just purchased my MacBook Pro with a 2.3 ghz quad-core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB SSD, so I don't think specs are the problem to my issue. I purchased the Mac to record audio, and also purchased an audio interface to record through (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2). I have downloaded the most recent drivers for that. I connected my guitar through the instrument input, connected the interface through USB, and connected headphones into the headphone jack. I can hear the audio playback while I play through the headphones, but my problem relates to the actual recording process, as well as the audio playback.
    When recording, I get the following error: "Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI - Sample rate 41068 recognized. Check conflict between GarageBand and external device". I read that GarageBand requires a sample rate of 41000, but I don't know how to check/change that. I also can't hear the metronome or the count in while I play/record. My input source is Mono 1 (Scarlett 2i2 USB), instead of Stereo (Scarlett 2i2 USB) in both my GarageBand preferences and my System Preferences.
    Next, I have a problem hearing the audio playback after recording. Again, I can hear the guitar while I play, but not after I record. Also, like I mentioned above, I can't hear any metronome or count in.
    I also successfully recorded using a MIDI controller when connecting directly from the controller to computer using USB. Again, I don't think that my system specs are an issue, but I am completely new to the Mac side of things, and am not sure where I am going wrong with this.
    Does anyone have any clues as to what the issue may be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Yamaha MO8 and Korg Volcas with Logic Pro X- recommendations for mixer and audio interface

    I plan to use Logic Pro X to access and configure the patch list for my Yamaha MO8 workstation. The Steinberg software I downloaded previously didn't work and never allowed me to configure the sounds. From what I've heard, I was told to use a cheap mixer or a Audio/MIDI interface (like the Scarlett 2i2 or 4i4). The Yamaha MO8 will be used as a master and has MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU. I also have the Korg Volca synths to use as slaves (they only have the MIDI IN port), and plan to connect them to the MIDI THRU on the keyboard. I already have the Yamaha USB driver installed, and the Mac recognizes the device. I also have the Portmidi app and wonder if that will allow me to see the patch list (with the actual names, not numbers).
    What mixer and audio/MIDI interface do you recommend to use the Yamaha MO8 and the Korg Volcas? Just to be clear, I don't want to use software synths, but would like to use the external instruments to get the audio (which I know can be selected through the Environment Panel on Logic Pro X).

    Anything with 2 audio inputs and 2 MIDI outs.
    -Out HP jack of Volca-1/8 to 1/4 adapter into Audio interface 1 (For any that are stereo use both 1 and 2 and use a Y splitter in addition to 1/8 to 1/4 adapters.
    -Midi out from interface to Midi in of volca (Or buy a USB to MIDI interface for about $35)
    -When starting up the volcas hold down the "Memory button" the LED will tell you what MIDI channel it is set to, you can change it if you wish)
    -Create external MIDI track and set it to the same channel as the Volca (Only if you want to do sequencing in the DAW, if thee Volca sequencer is handling it then not necessary)
    -Patch together the Volcas via the "synch out/Synch in" jacks to insure they are synched
    -Record them all together or one at a time, depending on how many simultaneous tracks your interface can handle.

  • Macs and 24bit audio - About Playback and also Can I record?

    So I have a a few questions about macs and their abilities with 24bit audio.
    I have a new MBP Unibody and from the looks of it (by looking at the audio midi setup utility) I can playback 24 bit audio - do I require an optical cable to do so, or can your standard Mini>RCA/Phono output 24 bit sound (presuming I feed it into a 24 bit playback system).
    Also, I know that most high quality vinyl rips are recorded at 24bit/96khz. I wasn't sure how to go about recording those on my mac myself until I noticed in that audio midi setup that for inputs I can set it to 96khz and 2ch-24bit. Again my question is: can I do this with the standard line in, or do I need special equipment to do so? Also what software should I record it with? Will Soundtrack Pro do the trick or should I step itup to Logic?
    Any help would be amazing.

    I did it with iMovie, but Garageband will record audio also.
    There is also Audacity, which is supposed to be good. I have not tried it: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
