Software loops playing a different sample

My friend has an issue with his Garageband 3, where any software loop will play correctly in the loop browser, but when dragged into the main screen, it will always play with a synth sound. I verified that he is dragging into a blank area (that says drag apple loops here) that will crate a NEW track, (not on top of an existing track that has a different setting), but any kind of (software instruments) loop, will always play with the same synth sound. Does not happen with real instrument loops.
I thought if you dragged a loop to where it made a new track, it would keep the default attributes of the loop you are dragging and apply them to that track, and only after that, you can tweak and mess it up all you like.
I couldn't recreate his problem. I am going over there this weekend to take a look at it, and I was thinking about trashing the Garageband prefs, and the Loops index and reloading the loops in case it was that kind of problem, but is there some way he could have messed with a default setting for each new software instrument track?
One thing was funny, is that when he goes to the track menu and chooses new track>software instrument, the default is not Grand Piano, it is iDrum... I would think that would have something to do with it EXCEPT that he is getting a synth sound with the drag and drop method, not an iDrum kit. Just thought I'd throw that out there since it was another difference from the norm.
Any suggestions would be appriciated, I only record live and don't really use loops myself...

Well, what's freaky is that they play correctly in the loop browser, so they must be installed. For some reason when they are moved into the timeline, that's when they lose the relationship to where the instruments are located and use a generic/default instrument in it's place.
When I reinstall, that is going to put them back in the default location on the hard drive and I am just going to have to copy them over again, and recreate the links, it's seems like it might be a waste since the actual instruments are there, and I should just work on fixing the links. I remember getting an error when setting it up that asked me where the Instrument library was located, and I located it. I might need to get that up again... any other input is welcome.

  • Software loops sound different in Browser than in track window

    After dragging some of my software loops (all .caf's) from the browser to the track window, the sound does not play correctly. For example, a harpsichord in the browser sounds fine, but when I drag it into the track space, the resulting midi-file sounds more like some type of an organ when played. I'm using the same key and tempo.
    If I play (doubleclick) the .caf from the "Apple Loops for GarageBand" library file, it plays fine from QT Player.This is only apparent on some loops...not all.....I do have a midi keyboard attached, but the same thing happens if it is disconnected.
    Thanks for any help!

    Try and Re-Index all your Loops?
    Go to your Loops Library, and right click in the actual loops section at the bottom where it shows all your loops. Click on the Re-Index User Library. That should put everthing in place again, if you still have all the files.
    P.S.
    My loops were also sounding very funny, almost chorus like. When I'd put the loop into my timeline it would sound normal. Once I re-indexed everything the files sounded fine again, in both the Loops Library and on my timeline.
    Good Luck

  • In Garage Band on iPAD, is there a way to make each key on the keyboard play a different sound effect?

    I'd like to be able to play a number of selected sound effects using the keyboard in Garage Band. I've figured out how to import audio tracks from my itunes library into a track in Tracks View.
    Thanks if anyone has experience with this......

    GarageBand on iPad does not have the SoundEffects instruments, that GarageBand on Mac has.
    The closest you can get to this on your iPad will be the "Sampler" instrument. You can record a sound sample and play it using the "Sampler" instrument and adjust the pitch.
    But you cannot assigne different samples to different keys.
    See:  Play sounds with the Sampler

  • Ipod plays a different file (audiobook) from the one selected.

    I have a mystery. let me start by saying i have done all the standard stuff all the way up to wiping and reinstalling the ipod.
    I have about 8 audio books (short stories for the kids to listen to) and when I select one to play it always plays a different audio book from the one I select. it happens to all the audio books. It never happens to music and never happens when I play the file through a different directory than the audio book directory (i.e. go to the artist's listing and select the author's name).
    So weird - I can work around it but would love a solution so the kids can pick books to listen to themselves.
    any ideas?

    Yes...but do I do that in the TableModelListener ?
    This is what I've tried in the TableModelListener:
    public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e)
             System.out.println(e.getSource());
               if(e.getType() == TableModelEvent.UPDATE)
                    TableModel model = stdTablewCombo.getModel();
                    int row = e.getFirstRow();
                    this.cellValue = ((String)model.getValueAt(row, 0));
                    if (cellValue != null)
                         this.selectedIndex = this.stdComboBox.getSelectedIndex();
                          System.out.println("Selected Index:" + this.selectedIndex);
                          if (this.selectedIndex >= 0)
                             String valueToSet = this.lovStringB[this.selectedIndex];
                             model.setValueAt(valueToSet, row, 0);
                          else
                               System.out.println("Value in cell is not from List");
                          }It returns the selectedIndex value allright.
    It sets the value of valueToSet string allright.
    it also does the model.setValueAt allright....but this triggers a tableChanged event and it goes back up - this is also fine. However, when it now comes back to the this.selectedIndex = , this again returns the index of the original selection and not a -1 (for values not in the ComboBox list). This makes it go into an infinite loop and gives me a StackOverflowError.

  • Cant get software loop to show in piano roll to edit

    Hey
                   Ok creating a song and made a software loop and i want to loop it straight through it stops at  49 at the original color  so I can see it in the piano roll  now that i looped and dragged it to 120 its a different shade of color and i cant see it in the piano roll.  So i can edit this one off beat snare and kick,
                 I tried dragging regions / copy and paste  but it not keeping the same tempo so i revert or undo to last saved or last undo
                   Ok the question........  how do i get the whole region to be the same color so it will show in the piano roll editor  with no splits  or differnet region I know merge but whet do I do ..... its probably simple as **** but I am new and trying here

    Drag your Project End Marker to the right - now it is at 49.
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=7%26sec tion=8%26tasks=true
    To define a project’s end point 
    Do one of the following:
    Drag the project end marker in the Bar ruler to the left or right.
    Set the value in the Transport bar’s numerical Project End display (by click-dragging or double-clicking the value).
    Note: If your Transport bar does not include the Project End display, Control-click it and choose Customize Transport Bar in the shortcut menu. Select the Tempo/Project End checkbox in the Customize Transport Bar pane.

  • Parallel acquire 2 signals with different sampling rate on 2 cards

    Hi NI,
    I have cDAQ-9178 and NI 9221, where sample rate is 10kHz and NI 9219, where I need sample rate about 10Hz, it's possible this confiruration for parallel acquire?
    Thank you.
    Neolker

    Hi Neolker,
    Do the tasks need to be synchronized or are totally independent tasks?
    If the tasks are independent, than you basically have to create two different tasks, even in two different loops that will run with different sampling rate.
    You can have them in the same loop the reading if you assure that the data are transfered in chunks to application memory according to tha sampling rate (Ex. for 10kS/s rate you can transfer data with 1kS chunks and for 10S/s rate with 1S chunk).
    If  you want to synchronize them, you will need a counter that will divde the sample clock from 9221 and route it to 9219.
    Let me know if you need more help.
    Best regards,
    IR

  • The music on my iPhone is WRONG, plays a different song when I click another one.

    I recently plugged in my iPhone 4S to sync music with my relatively new Macbook Air. I had a song that someone had sent to me (a mix, not from iTunes) that I wanted to add to my phone. When I (safely) unconnected my phone and checked it, I found that a playlist (with only 2 songs) I had created earlier had disappeared. I then checked another playlist (3 songs),the one that had my new song in it, and when I clicked play, it played the 2 songs from the playlist that had disappeared. Now, ALL my music is mixed up. It seems like music is one song behind the cover art but even when I click on the same song three times, it plays three different songs, none of which are the one I clicked. WHAT IS GOING ON??? I tried to resync it by taking all the music off my iPhone and then readding it but the same problem occurs. I even tried adding all my music manually and nothing changes. The music on my iTunes on my Macbook is fine. All my updates are done on both devices. PLEASE HELP!! Will be going in to the apple store this weekend if I can't fix it.
    ALSO, if a song plays to the end, it stops, even though it isn't on repeat and there are songs after it. It just gets to the end and freezes and I have to manually click the arrow to go to the next song.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • How Can I Turn A Software Loop Into A Real Instrument Loop?

    My primary reason for wondering about this is that one of my songs requires a windchime sound throughout...but not too much of one. Just a touch of windchimes. The Orchestra Kit has a few pretty good windchime sounds BUT the natural sustain is too long for what I want. If figure I can get my wisp of a windchime if I can convert my miniscule software loop into a real instrument loop then whittle it down to the sound I want.
    How can I make this conversion?

    Well, Hangtime...You were absolutely right (again!) about messing around with the notes preferred over dissecting them.
    I got an absolutely gorgeous windchime sound from applying a couple of carefully auditioned filters and then messing around with the volume at the end of each note. It actually turned out better than I had imagined. It turned out so very nice that I gave it a well spaced looping rhythm and now the windchime is throughout the entire song and the song is better for it.
    My dissection effort didn't get a natural sounding windchime effect at all. I trashed it almost immediately.

  • Different Sampling rates for different channels in Analog Input

    Hi,
    I would like to acquire data at different sampling rates on different channels say ACH 0, ACH 1 and so on. I have a PCI 6052E board and NI DAQ 6.9.2. Also is it possible to simultaneously perform Analog output on two different channels along with the Analog input? What will be the problems/consequences as far as the system resources are concerned. I am a beginner in this area and would greatly appreciate any help/pointers for my queries.
    Thanking you in advance
    Deepak

    Search the eaxamples that ship with LV.
    Theer is one called simultaneous input and output or something like that.
    It will get you started.
    re: multiple scan rates. This is acoomplished by sampling all channels at the highest rate and throw away the expttra samples you do not need.

  • How can I add a curve with a different sample rate behind another curve to show it like one in the report

    I saved two curves with different sample rates with signal express in waveform.
    Now I want to add the curves behind and show them in a report. 

    Hello MReizner,
    Both the DIAdem VIEW and REPORT panel use the time information from your Waveform channels (make sure they actually have the waveform symbol, not the numeric data channel symbol in the Data Portal) to plot the data in the same axis system.
    In the example below I have two waveforms, one sampled at 5 Hz and one sampled at 1 Hz, both in the same axis with the same time channel. All I did was drag the data from the Data Portal onto the axis. DIAdem automatically takes care of creating the correct time channel and plotting the data with the correct points if the data is stored as a waveform.
    I hope this answers your question, please let us know if further clarification is required ...

  • Wave form chart for different sampling rate

    Hi
    All,
    I have to use different sampling rate to get  pressure data. Can I use the waveform chart to monitor the pressure data with time?
    If not, what kind of graph should I use?

    Different sampling rate than what? A chart or graph can be used. Depends mostly on how you want to update it.

  • I have a sync issue with any songs name track 1 or 2 so on ..even though my itune shows I have the play list right but after i sync the same 20 tracks play very different tracks, it doesn't happen when I sync other songs that actually have names

    I have a sync issue with my ipod, anytime I synch a playlist that has generic song names instead of actual names like track 1 or track 2 so on even though my itune library shows and plays the song, but after a sync my ipod will play a different song. Never happnes if the playlist has actual song names, than everything is fine..!!!!Any help?
