Record the voices built into Yamaha keyboard onto Garageband

I've successfully connected my Yamaha keyboard to record the Software instruments in Garageband.
Conversely, how do I record the voices built into my Yamaha keyboard onto Garageband?
Thanks.

1. Plug the Line-Out of the keyboard into the line-in on your computer
2. Create a New Basic Track
3. Press record.
4. There is no 4

Trying to record the sounds in my casio keyboard to garageband

I have a decent quality casio keyboard with midi.The midi works fine when recording midi sounds in garageband.However I will occasionally want to use the sounds built into my keyboard since some of them are better than the garageband sounds.
Ive taken a line out from the keyboard and connected it to the audio in port on my mac and set up a new track as a real instrument track.As soon as I do this the green volume indicaters go to halfway and Im not able to record anything.Im just getting a load of distorted inteference.Im using the built in input in garageband.
The only way Im able to record the keyboard is through the built in mic in garageband which is picking up the keyboard sounds but it doesnt sound too great.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers

hi bro , i use my irig to connect my guitar to garageband, before i upgrade the system it's all fine , but after i upgrade the system to mountain lion , my instrument cannot be founded. and my line input cannot receive signals as well, i'm using irig and the cable is fine . Is there any solution for this issule : ) thanks

I recently bought a new Imac. Do I have to set up a wireless router or can my other devices connect thru the WIFI built into the Imac??

For the Internet, you should set up a router on your modem, this router will route the packets to any device on the local area network.
If you use the iMac as a router, like if you connect the Ethernet cable from your modem to the iMac, then broadcast a Wifi signal, the iMac will have to remain on all the time, at full power. Thus drastically shortening it's lifespand.
A router is only about $100 or so, offers much better security as it's like a large guard, someone has to hack through router first to get your iMac or other devices.
If it breaks, you buy another 5 years later for another $100, so your not placing all that always on wear and tear on your expensive iMac.
Apple's airport routers are pretty good, easy to set up and have automatic firmware updates, plus music sharing etc.
Set up properly you will be very secure

If I buy a 32GB IPhone 4S, will i be able to store my current ITunes library on my phone through ICloud without taking up the 32GB built into my phone?

iCloud does not store music except in two ways. First, you can redownload music previously purchased from the iTunes store should you ever need to (as long as the songs are still available); which is referred to as "iTunes in the Cloud" (but has nothing to do with your personal iCloud account). Secondly, you can store your music library in iCloud (up to 25,000 songs) if you subscribe to a fee-based service called iTunes Match (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). If you subscribe to iTunes Match you can keep your music in iCloud, but (at least at the current time) when you listen to this music it is simultaneously downloaded to your phone so it ends up using some of you phone's capacity anyway.

Using Yamaha Keyboard with GarageBand

Tried my Yamaha keyboard with GarageBand for the first time. To my amazement, it worked. However:
Cant' seem to get the volume up (on the Yamaha Keyboard). Checked all the volume settings, including the iMac's System Preferences, GarageBand volume settings but it's still relatively "soft."
I'm using a USB 2.0 15-ft. cable. Could the length of the cable have anything to do with this. Would a shorter USB 2.0 cable.........say 4-ft. ...... make a difference?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions

don't think I have some of the features to control
sound you suggest. (GB's Track Fader? Master Volume
Fader? "Generator" settings. "Pencil" icon.)
You have all these things. Each track has a fader (volume control), and at the bottom right of the window is the Master Fader (volume Control). Select a track and open Track Info ("i"nfo) icon), click details, and the pencil icon to the right of the Generator PopUp menu.
preferences, it does not show that USB port as a line
in......
Because it is NOT a line in. MIDI ≠ Audio.
just internal mic and audio line in
As it should be.
I don't understand why, when going to the audio
settings........both on Mac audio preferences and
GarageBand..........it doesn't show that USB as an
audio line in.
Because MIDI ≠ Audio
Also tried with Sound Studio...........a music
recording application that came with my iMac when I
purchased it a couple of years ago. It has worked
with the Mac's audio line in and with the internal
mic.........but doesn't pick up anything from the
keyboard via USB cable in.
Because there is no Audio to pick up. MIDI ≠ Audio.
Could the length of my USB cable have anything to do
with this? I am using a 15-ft. USB 2.0 cable.
No.

Record the actual sound of my keyboard?

I have a hammond xk3c keyboard and was wondering what the best way to record it's sound onto garageband is. If i plug it into the guitar input on my interface it doesnt sound clean, so i bought an adapter to plug it into the mic input but it still sounds fuzzy. The keyboard has midi ins and outs but ive never done anything with them. Also, i would really like the sound to be stereo because the leslie simulation sounds really awesome.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I was assuming the amp itself was part of the sound (as with the Leslie speaker used by many Hammond organ players). If the amp isn't part of the sound, or is simulated in software, which seems to be the case here, then yeah, you're right: go direct. But the poster said the sound he gets going direct isn't satisfactory, which leans toward the use of a better audio interface and/or preamp of some sort.
Here's the keyboard in question:
http://www.hammondorganco.com/readmoreXK3c.htm
That says it has left and right line out (doesn't say what sort of connector, unfortunately), "MIDI In/In2/Out" (by which I can only assume they mean in/out/through?), and headphone out.
I assume those L/R outs are 1/4", though they could be XLR or RCA or, who knows what else. If hooking those up to the Mac via adapters and such doesn't yield a decent sound (ditto for doing the same with the headphone out) then I'd recommend a decent USB audio interface.
In either case, seeing as this thing could be a really nice MIDI controller (though why they didn't add a USB interface is a mystery to me), I'd say it's totally worth the cost of a MIDI interface to hook this thing up and use it as a controller for other software instruments.

Turn back on the voice recognition button on keyboard

Somehow I lost the microphone button off my keyboard to use voice recognition. I can't figure out how to turn it back on.

prior to iso7 go into settings - messaging - voice recognition(cant remember what its called but its in that subcatagory) i have upgraded to IOS7 and it does not have that ability as far as i have found, with the exception of using SIRI or buying an app for it but they all reqire wi-fi with the exception of SIRI but its not the same. I also lost word prediction function.

Recording the Voice over

Hello,
I came across the voice over feature on my iPhone and was wondering if there was any way I could record it saying something with my voice memo feature?

If you simply want to change the command used, or add an extra command that does the same thing, you just need to know that the file names are used as the name of the commands for Speakable Items.
If you open system preferences, the speech pane, select "Speech Recognition" at the top and then "Commands" on the next line there's a button there - it's labeled "Open Speakable Items Folder". Click on that and it shows you a folder containing all the global commands. If you want to change one of these, you can edit the file name. It's probably safer if you duplicate the file ("duplicate" from the context menu) and then change the name of the copy, so the original is still there in case of mishaps! I'm not sure if a comma in the file name would work but I suspect it wouldn't - none of the commands there have commas in them.
If you want to change a command in a specific application then open the "Application Speakable Items" folder and explore from there.
Another thing which might help is to go back to System Preferences and click on the "Global Speakable Items" in the command set list and then click the "Configure" button. There's an option there which will make more variations on the commands work.
The most complicated way is to write your own new speakable items. This gives you the most flexibility but also you need to learn some AppleScript to enable you to do it. If you want to learn AppleScript, check out the AppleScript resources - it does lots more than just speakable commands and the general resources should help you most.
Best of luck!

Recording the input of mouse and keyboard outside of a visible GUI

I am trying to write something sorta like pc anywhere except I dont quite know how to approach the problem of recording the input from the mouse and keyboard. I have thought of using a glass pane the size of the screen but once I have captured the mouse or keyboard events how do I send them through to the underlying OS (as if nothing happened)?

This is not possible in java. You should register to some native mouse and keyboard listener mechanism. and let them notify you of all the mouse and keyboard events. Maybe JNI can help you accomplish this.

Recording the voice on power book G4

I want to record me reading a book for someone who is blind. Any idea if I can do this on my power book and if so, how?

You can use garage band for that, but what is your PBG4 model, if you have the one that doesn't have internal microphone you might have to buy one (usb interface).
Be advised most microphone need pre-amp to amplified the signal to decent level for garage band or other software to record the sound signal.
Good Luck.

Why doesnt it play the synthesized sounds from my Keyboard in garageband

why wont garageband play all my cool sound effects from my keyboard? Its just outputing the grand piano. and I can then change it using the preset sound effects in Garageband but how do i directly record the sounds from my Keyboard?

so your saying to plug the audio cable into the Phones/Output area of the keyboard into the headphones of the MAC?
Be sure to re-read those instructions. You don't go into the Mac's headphone jack as that is an output. You need to connect to the Mac's line-in (which, on mine, is right next to the headphone jack).

How are the backlight built-into the macbook air 2013?

Is it built edge lit or back lit? And i know its not using bulbs to light cause the display is too thin; so what are they using to light the monitor up? Thanks for the help guys

The MacBook Air uses an edge-lit display in whose lighting source is physically separate from the LCD panel. It is locate along the bottom edge and pushes light into the lightguide of the display. A backlit panel would be far too thick and expensive, using current technology.
Here are a couple of pics of the edge lighting strip.

Interfacing with the GPIO built into a Commell LV-674 Board

Hello,
I am building up some systems using Commell LV-674 mini-ITX boards. Reading through the manual, it mentions that there is a built in GPIO with 8 programable I/O points. Does anyone out there have any idea how I would go about accessing the I/O points? There does not seem to be any information in Commell manual beyond that it is there and where the connector on the board is. Any help would be apriciated. Thank you.

4s question about the signal built into the phone

i heard that the iphone 4s has the capability of using CDMA and GSM without having to buy a new phone? i am sure it has to be set up for it but is Verizon selling the same phone as ATT or a different model made for their service? I know the CDMA version has a tray for international communications but can i buy one at ATT and set it up on verizon?

You may be able to buy an unlokced iphone from the Apple store.
The reports I have seen, say that they will begin selling them in November.
