Recording a DJ mix on Garageband...only able to record an hour?

Hi, I'm trying to record my latest mix but the track stops recording after just over one hour, Is there a way to extend record time, i'm making sure I have plenty of disk space, have 6gig spare and the current mixes of just over the hour are only 800Mb so far so this doesn't seem to be the problem, and I make sure all other programs are closed. I haven't found any other options so far, can anyone offer any advice? Thanks.
Also, I'm recording directly from my mixer, I take it I need to record the track as a 'real instrument' as opposed to the 'record as software instrument' option.

that would be physically impossible.

How can I record my guitar amp with garageband?

Hello, new member and new to recording with garageband!
I would like to capture the live sound of my guitar amp using garageband. I know there are many modelling and FX options using GB, but I really want to hear how my amp sounds.
I'm using the following:
-macbook pro and garageband
-Presonus Inspire 1394 interface
Traynor YCV 50 all-tube guitar amp
-Shure SM57 mic
-Yamaha SG700 electric guitar
So far, the results have been dismal. My main instinct was to keep all levels in the green and go for it. I used the most basic setting in GB with no effects added. All attempts sound like I'm playing into a garbage can.
Any quick tips would be appreciated, please and thanks!

Your setup should be getting excellent results.
Are you using a real instrument track?
Are you sure garageband is getting the input from the Shure and not the built in mic?
Is the mic close to the speaker / pointed at the speaker / have you tried pointing it at different parts of the speaker?

How do I use beringer qx1002usb mixer with garageband

I have a Beringer qx1002usb mixer that I would like to attach to use with garageband.
When I plug it in it does not connect. Is there software that needs to be installed in order to use?
Anyone who has used this mixer before please help!!!

I can pair the headphones with the computer but the sound from GB is distorted and muffled. I can barely hear it. The set works with iTunes, but not with GarageBand.

Trying to record multiple tracks (24) in Garageband with 3 presonus firestudio devices daisy-chained together.

Please help !! I can record multiple tracks (8) on a single presonus firestudio, but now I'm trying to expand the number of tracks to 24 by daisy-chaining three firestudio devices.
The three units will sync up properly, and Garageband detects all of the input channels, but the recording doesn't pick up the input signals for the 2nd or 3rd device. It only picks up the signals from the first device. I read the manual and daisy-chained the devices by serial number (lowest to highest).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

you'll need to create an aggregate device:

Using Line 2/3 on Xenyx 502 Mixer with Garageband

I would like to be able to use the Line 2/3 on my Xenyx502 Mixer as backup means to using Skype for guests to call in on a low budget podcast show. I have a 1/4" Y adapter cable that will hook up to my iphone, the problem is whenever it is plugged in, Garagbend is recording through the iPhone mic instead of the mic that is plugged into the mixer. As soon as I disconnect the cable or phone Garageband goes back to recording through the mic. I am new to this and would appreciate any help.
Using a MacBook Air with Yosemite, Garageband 10.0.3

Recording a radio show with Garageband '09

Hi guys,
I am looking to move into the Garageband world now that I have just purchased a brand new iMac.
My main purpose for Garageband would be to import audio and record my voice as a talk over for a radio show.
I can see there is the built-in ducking which is fantastic as that immediately would make my process alot easier.
I am just not sure about the recording aspect in terms of real-time.
For a live radio show usually a piece of music would play and the radio announcer would voice over it.
This is what I would like to do however I am not sure if Garageband does this in real-time or not?
I have a Rode Podcaster mic which I'm sure will be easily recognised and used within Garageband also.
Anyone who has any experience or knowledge with this particular scenario, I would love to hear from you!
Much appreciate your assistance and feedback
Cheers

Thanks HangTime,
I knew I would need to do the import of audio and record voice.
Just more concerned about the real-time recording eg. does the ducking occur should a song be playing live and I do a voice over, all whilst recording.

Do I really HAVE to use a wired headset to record with Garageband? Is it 2015?

I'm trying to record on my iPad with Garage band, using a Bluetooth headset.
As many of you already know, there is quite enough being plugged in, balanced on laps, or set on tables while
recording on an iPad. I have a perfectly good bluetooth headset to relieve some of the stresses of recording on
a mobile interface, however it just isn't supported by this app? The app is very well aware of this, so it was not
overlooked, and I certainly paid money for the app (and the ipad), so why am I limited?
Not only would it be nice to hear a legit answer, or even possibly some feedback on how I can bypass this,
but it would also be great if you would just go ahead and update garageband to support bluetooth headsets.
-Freddy

After re-reading the prompt, I see that there may be some kind of delay, but honestly that would just require me to move the track to fit, it's not that big of a deal.

Recording With GarageBand

Does anybody know how to record an electric guitar with GarageBand, i already have an audio interface and everything is already plugged in and hooked up, i just need to know how to set it up within GarageBand so that i can record.

You might want to use the GB forum(s) instead, as I suspect you'll have other questions etc. Good luck in any case.

Alesis Multimix8 usb with Garageband??

So I just purchased the Alesis multimix8usb mixer. Preferences are set correctly, usb connected, no drivers required...yada, yada.
Right now I have two mics connected (line1 and line 3, of the 4 available mic/line-in) and I've created to new tracks for the mics in garageband. My problem is that I can't get separate tracks for each mic. No matter what setting I use for the Input Source, I can't get a separate track. One track is mono1 and the other is mono2, but both mics are working on each track. When I enable both tracks for recording (to record live), no matter the input source (mono1 and mono2), both mics are on both tracks.
The answer is probably simple, as it usually is, but with my inexperience I have just been trying all possible combinations. Can anyone shed light? Or is anyone familiar with the set up for using this mixer with garageband? Any info or tips on using this particular mixer with garageband would be helpful.
Thanks!

Record a DJ Mix in Logic

o.k., here i am, trying to record a dj mix. Normaly i would use my minidisc recorder and audio cd recorder to do so. Now i want to use my mac for it.
But how do you do it? I've read all the other topics about recording a dj mix but i must say, it doesn't work for me. I've read that for this purpose you have to use garageband. IN either Garageband or Logic there is no incomming signal. I've hooked 2 jacks from the master output from my mixer to my soundcard(Firewire solo)to the unbalanced inputs.
Let me tell you the gear i use: 2 Pioneer CDJ800, 1 Pioneer DJM500, Macbookpro (read below) M-Audio Firewire solo, Logic Pro 7.2.3
I've tried to searc for any incomming signal in my logic trackmixer, but can't find it. Which region do i use for this?
Help!
Lewis
Macbook Pro 2,16 Ghz intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) Logic express 7.2.3
Macbook Pro 2,16 Ghz intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9) Logic Pro 7.2.3

you don't use a region. use an audio track. click on the R button on say audio track 1. check to make sure the inputs 1-2 correspond to your soundcard inputs and you should be able to hear the incoming signal/mix.
another point: have you selected the correct audio interface in Logic?
goto to the main audio menu>audio hardware and .......... (think that's the name) then make sure your m-audio solo is selected as the interface in the relevant dropdown menu.
hope that helps

Help Needed Recording A Dj Mix On Satellite C670

Does the Satellite C670 14P have a line in option through the mic/headphone sockets.
The problem is am trying to record a dj mix using a recording program but each time a recording is done it sounds like it is being recorded through the laptop speakers and not through the soundcard. I have my mixer plugged into the laptop using a phono to 2.5 jack lead I have both the mic and the headphone sockets but either make any difference to the sound.
Can someone please help me.

Thanks for replying.
On the desktop I had there was a mic/headphone and a third socket which was the line in which basically connected the phono from my mixer straight to the soundcard.
I will try the windows sound recorder I didnt know that option was there, I have been using sony sound forge as the recording program.
My mixer does not have a usb socket on it this is the lead I have been using http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Phono-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q6LSVS the red and white plugs go into my mixer and the jack gets plugged into the laptop.

I am using iMac OS 10.7.2 with Garageband'11 6.0.4. I can't record sound from mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and preferences but no sound from mixer to iMac. Need help.

I am using iMac OS 10.7.2 with Garageband'11 6.0.4. I can't record sound from mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and Preferences but I can't get no sound from mixer to iMac only sound from iMac to mixer. I only can record sound using microphone line in. Please help.

Eric,
Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.

Trying to record Stereo Mix with a monitor through my headphones. Using Screenium to record Audio and Video, using Avid MBox Mini with MXL 909 Microphone for the audio through the interface.

Basically, what I am trying to do is this:
Record my screen through Screeenium, record my voice as audio through an Avid MBox Mini (interface) with a MXL 909 microphone to pick up the audio. I have all that figured out. I'm able to efficiently record my audio and screenplay through these instruments and programs. What I am having trouble with is the stereo mix. I am running into a slew of problems here... My goal: Add on the audio of a game that I am playing (for example, Amneisia) so that the audio for my game will be picked up internally, and not through the speakers to be recorded through the microphone. I want there to be no external sound except me talking into my microphone. I also want to be able to HEAR the audio of the game through my headphones (and if possible, myself as well, through a monitor maybe?)
Problems I have run into so far:
-Haven't gotten it to pick up in game audio at all while using headphone. Can't figure this out
-Downloaded soundflower, have the output as soundflower. Not picking up anything, will put all my sound and midi settings at the end.
-When I do record through my microphone, it is only picking up a single channel (left earpiece only, no right channel)
-I have figured out it is NOT the equipment, I use Pro Tools and am able to pick up both channels with my mic, recorded a few tests. It's settings and I can't figure it out
-Trying not to run 16 million programs while running the game, will cause lag.
Summed up:
Trying to record:
-Audio from gameplay of any game I am playing through alternative route of speakers (do NOT want to record game audio through speakers, internally)
-Record voice through Avid MBox Mini and MXL 909 microphone.
-Record screen gameplay through Screenium
I followed a guide that told me to achieve "stereo mix'' I need to download soundflower and follow "X" steps. That is done and these are my current settings:
Audio Midi Setup - Stereo Mix custom Aggregate Device, Soundflower (2ch) selected, Avid Mbox Mini selected, Soundflower Output #1 has 2 channels (1-2), using Avid MBox mini for "Input" in order to record. Using Soundflower AND Avid MBox mini as "Output" in order to hear the sounds and replay game sounds (could be the problem? Maybe?)
Sound Settings - Output Stereo Mix (custom channel) Input Avid MBox Mini (recording)
I'm hoping this isn't too hard to understand.. I'm VERY bad at explaining information regarding computers.. It's hard becuase I don't understand it. I can clarify anything that I am able to, so any help on finding certain things would be greatly appreciated.
My computer: Macbook Pro MAC OS X Lion (11G63) 10.7.5 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 13333 MGz DDR3 (If any of this is imporant)

Hey guys,
I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
What software are you using to record your game?
If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,
Catie

Trying to record multiple tracks at once with Mixer (Two Microphones)

I have a Alesis Multimix 4, and two microphones plugged into the mic 1 and mic two inputs. I am trying to record both, at the same time, to two distinct tracks. I set Device Class to ASIO in the Audio Hardware section, and delected ASIO4ALL v2 for the Device. My mixer (I assume) is showing up as USB Aduio CODEC in the ASIO4ALL settings. When I go back to my multitrack setting, I am given four options for incoming audio:
Audio Front Mic Input 1
Audio Front Mic Input 2
USB Audio CODEC 1
USB Audio Codec 2
No matter what combination I try, when I record, both tracks pick up both microphones. My goal is to isolate both, so I can apply different settings to both tracks later on, adjust in the mix etc... The audio only comes through when I pick the USB Audio option. Thanks in advance.
Brett

I think you've got the right driver selected, otherwise it wouln't work at all. The single most obvious thing to ask you though (I'm sorry if this is too basic) is where you have the pan controls set to? To get each mic to record on a single channel, you'd have to have one panned hard left and the other panned hard right. If you leave them both panned dead centre, that's exactly what you get - both mics on both channels.
