Record Keyboard MIDI using GarageBand for iPad

See this video using GB4iPad to record keyboard MIDI:-

I just discovered the arpeggiator feature today, and indeed, as gb 1111 mentioned, it doesn't work via MIDI input!!!! An incredible oversight! Perhaps an option to allow this can be added in an update, Apple?
I am forwarding gb 1111's concern to the GarageBand for iPad feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/garageband_ipad.html. Let's all do the same, in the hope of further improvements and refinements to GarageBand for iPad by Apple!

  • How do I use Garageband for iPad with a real amp?

    I play with a guy down the street who has a couple of amps set up. The one I use is kind of limited in it's tonal qualities. In my twenties and thirties I would have no problem hauling my own amp down there to get my tones dialed in, but I'm forty freakin' seven and too old for that!  When I have tried to plug the iPad into my amp at home, I get terrible feedback.  I used to have a Rockman (remember those?) and I could take it with me and plug into any guitar amp set to clean and be good to go, how do I do that with my iPad and Garageband?
    I'm using a no name "y" cord with the 1/8" three ringed input into the ipad and a 1/8 stereo and 1/4 inch outputs-all sounds great on headphones, and with computer speakers, but need to plug into a real guitar amp.
    I am using a 50 watt Yamaha to test and am having no luck at all.  I know it has to do with impedance, but I am not very versed in how to get around it. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Okay, after fiddling around some more, I’m able to get–some-settings to work.    1) set the real amp to clean settings (duh).  Keep the volume on the low side (double duh). 2) stick to the smaller amps from the “clean and “processed” groups ofpresets. 
    The only way (so far) I’ve found to get some crunch is by turning the gain up on the GB amp you’re using,but only to a point, then I got feedback again. 
    Also, my “y” cord does have a name, it’s a GriffinTechnologies GuitarConnect Cable. I haven’t tried any of the other devices, so I can’t say if the feedbackwould be less irksome on other devices, but I kind of doubt it.

  • Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?, Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?

    Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?

    The tempo setting applies to the whole song, but only to the recorded midi instruments or loops. It's a bit of a kludge, but you could record different sections at different tempos, export each as an AIFF file, then glue them together in a new project.
    The same goes for the key.

  • GarageBand for iPad - sustain midi issue

    Hi,
    I am using GB for iPad and getting a lot of use out of it. Lots of fun! I have hooked up the iPad via a MIDI cable and USB camera widget to my casio electric piano. I've been recording music successfully, until....
    I've recorded a solo piano track. In playing I've used the sustain pedal. The sustain pushes and releases have been picked up by GB. The track plays back perfectly in GB for iPa, sustains and all....but....when the track is exported to iTunes as an m4p the sustain pushes seem to cut short the notes instead of prolong them. Playback of the m4p sounds odd as the notes are cut short, ending abruptly.
    Very odd.
    As I say, it appears only to be the case with the m4p exports from GB that have the issue, playback in GB itself is fine.
    Any ideas? do I need to upgrade something or does anyone know of a fix?

    Ok, this is strange.
    So I thought I would try exporting the m4p from GB again - just to see what would happen. I know, only fools do the same thing twice and expect a different result - right? Well, not this time. It worked ok. The sustains now export in the m4p and don't cut the notes short.
    So, whether this helps anyone with the same issue in future I can only hope. What I did was this:
    - having exported the track initially as m4p and discovered in iTunes (on my computer) that is was faulty, I deleted it from iTunes.
    - I went back to GB for iPad and opened the song again (i had saved it to export it as m4p).
    - I played the song back and checked once more that playback in GB was fine - and it was.
    - I opened the settings panel and altered the track echo. It was at the zero position, and I moved it to about 25% or so.
    - I saved the song and exported it again as m4p to iTunes.
    - viola, it worked.
    Maybe I did something here to rectify it. well, obviously I did. but who knows what. There must be logic to it, the iPad is a computer after all...

    I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

    This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
    On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?

  • Is there anyway to record more than one track at a time on garageband for ipad?

    Just wondering if that is possible or in the works?

    GarageBand for iPad only allows to record on one track at a time. That is the selcted one that turns into the Instrument View where the actual recording is done.
    If multi-track recording is in the works, nobody know except Apple and they won't usually pre-announce that kind a things. My guess, it will not be implemented.
    Hope that helps

  • I'm using GarageBand for voiceover and my voice is only recording in one track. How do I get it in stereo?

    I'm using a Bluebird mic hooked up to speakers and MAudio Fast Track interface.  I went to GarageBand preferences and set up the recording for MAudio and stereo but it's still recording in mono.  Any suggestions?

  • Iad Camera Connection Kit (USB) + USB Electric guitar + GarageBand for iPad

    Hi,
    I wonder if the USB Camera Connection will work with an USB Mic or Electric Guitar and if I'll be able to use this with GarageBand for iPad.
    Thanks,
    M

    Hi I have one that looks exactly like the Behringer but in black and made in china. No trademark. It must be the pirated version which I got for $30-$35 USD in Mexico. I connected it through the CCK to the ipad (1) using the newest OS 4.2 or 4.3 and I was able to tune the guitar. I couldn't hear a thing but the notes appeared. Then I was able to record a track but still no sound. I played it back and it came low. I'm still figuring it out, but it seems that it might work.

  • I've just found the keyboard shortcut in Garageband for 'copy region' had changed from cmdC to ctrlC. I went to Preferences and clicked Restore Defaults for shortcuts. Now its altC . How can I get it back to the original commands.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • How do I copy/paste a part FROM GarageBand for iPad TO another app?

    This is a feature that it looks like Apple have half-implemented but it's not complete...
    I can paste parts TO GarageBand for iPad from numerous other apps no problem. I've done this with everyday looper, sunrizer, dm1, nlog, etc.
    But when I try to copy parts FROM GarageBand it fails. I need to do this to, say, take a part I'm working on, listen to it in everyday looper, and compose an NLog synth part over the top. Or to take a part from GarageBand, add effects in Moog Filtron, and then paste it back to GarageBand. This is basic stuff you need to be able to do if you are using an app like GarageBand as your songwriting environment.
    With functionality like this potentially blocked or not implemented, it makes GarageBand not the production solution it could be. Very much hope I'm being stupid and you can point out the way...

    Doesn't seem possible at the moment. It may well be in the pipeline already but you could always drop a line to GarageBand for iPad Feedback requesting such a feature...

  • How do I copy a GarageBand for iPad part from one song to another?

    Surely this must be an obvious thing, but I see no way to do it.
    I am working on 2 versions of song on my iPad. I want to copy a part from one song to the other.
    I know I can duplicate the entire song, but that is not the same.
    I really need help on this one and I'll be most disappointed if it's a basic feature Apple have not provided - I'm writing a soundtrack and at the moment and bought the app and to some extent the iPad especially to write on the road, but this will mean we have to abandon GarageBand for iPad entirely if its not possible.
    The other secondary question is why can't you copy parts (using Sonoma copy/paste or similar) OUT of GarageBand into other apps? Another basic function Apple should not have skimped on. This is necessary to, say, apply an effect externally and bring it back to GarageBand for mixdown. I'll raise this separately too.
    Thanks!

    Hi  Here is a guide I wrote about bouncing tracks in GarageBand for iPad.  You could use the methods in here to bounce the track you want to open in another app in to Hokusai , into your other app, and then back into GarageBand.  I hope this helps!   Cheers

  • How can you copy and transfer tracks between songs in Garageband for iPad air 2?s

    I have just started with GarageBand for iPad air 2 and want to know more about copying tracks between songs and also saving and using samples between songs too. Anybody have any good links or advice? Thanks

    This has nothing to do with Classic, the operating system on Macs from 2001 and earlier.  Please post in the forums most likely to have an answer if you want a quick one:

  • How do you open Garageband for iPad files with Garageband?

    I was led to believe that Garageband could open up Garageband For iPad files, but not vice versa.
    However when a friend sent me his Garageband For iPad file, and I tried to open it, a "compatibility updater" started running then stopped halfway through and told me Garageband was "unable to complete the download" and directed me to go to Apple help.
    Here I am.
    Anybody got any idea how to open (and work on) this file?
    Tank you in advance.
    -Dave-id

    Apparently there were a two updaters I had to run first, before letting the compatability updater do it's thing.
    And since I got my Garageband for Mac through the APP store I could only do my updating through that.
    So if anyone else is having that same problem, update, update, update!

  • I have GarageBand for iPad 2 and noticed that there are far fewer loops for iPad than for apple laptops. Is there a library available of apple loops? I haven't been able to find any if there are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Update: An Apple rep called me today to update the status of my return. I was told that the replacements for the BLACK iPad 2's was still another 3 weeks out (at least) so they offered me a brand new WHITE 16GB iPad 2. I could have that or continue waiting. I opted to go ahead and accept the offer of a new white one. Worst case scenario if I don't like the white one I have buddy that just bought a 16GB black one that he would be willing to swap it.
