Upgrade B&W G3 for Garage Band use

Hi there
I was wondering if anybody had any advicer as to thepossibility of upgrading my B&W G3 400 mhz so that it can run GB.
I currently have Logic Gold 6 running through Audiowerk 8 card on it and that seems to work well.
I believe it is possible to upgrade processors in these Macs. If this is possible, who much would the upgrade be and is it possible to do it manually oneself.
many Thanks
Marco

I am not sure if they make a G4 CPU upgrade for a G3, but if they do, I'd guess $200-300, and it is not hard to do at all. Check with Other World Computing online and see if they have what you are looking for. If they do, it'll come with complete instructions. My only experience is from upgrading my G4 450 to a G4 1.2, and it took me about 20 minutes, and has worked wonderfully ever since.

  • How to get full sound library for Garage Band

    I recently purchased the upgrade for Garage Band on my 06 iMac.  I received a huge library of sounds with the upgrade.  However, two days later, we had a power spike and I lost that computer.  So - I bought a New MacBook Pro Retna with the latest version of Garage Band on it, however, it is missing what seems likes hundreds of real instrument sounds.  Any suggestions?  Can't seem to find a way to downlod all thode extra great sounds like strings and sound FX.
    Thanks.

    I recently purchased the upgrade for Garage Band on my 06 iMac.
    What kind of upgrade did you buy? Jam Packs for GarageBand, like "Symphony Orchestra"? They are not included in the preinstalled version that comes with a new mac.
    it is missing what seems likes hundreds of real instrument sounds.
    Are loops missing or instruments? If loops are missing, do they appear to greyed out in the loop browser? If they are greyed out, have you pressed the little arrow to the right of the loop name, to download the additional content?
    To be able to download the additional content, you have to accept the preinstalled iLife to your AppleID at the AppStore. Sign into the AppStore, go to the "Purchased" tab - "Accept" section, and press the "Accept" button for your iLife apps.

    If it are the JamPack, that are missing, post back please.

  • Best Midi Keyboard for garage band?

    Hi
    is it possible to import wav samples into garage band, and then assign them to an external beat pad to create loops using an external beat pad?
    Also, what do you guys think is the best midi keyboard to get for garage band? (if the beat pad thing works, i want to get a keyboard with a beat pad on it)
    THANKS

    Here's the link for the M-Audio Keystation 49e 49-Note USB MIDI Controller Keyboard for exactly $89. Oh, and it's Plug and Play, no drivers, no AC power, just plug it into a Mac's USB port.
    (And needless to say, I am another happy 49e owner)
    Was there a particular reason you were looking at those two keyboards?

  • How do I deleat an update for Garage Band that I don't want?

    I have received notification of an update for Garage Band, a program that I will never use. How do I deleat this notification of the update?

    1. Update it.
    2. Delete GB from your iMac.
    Personally I would just update it and move on.

  • In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download.  Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

    In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download.  Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

    The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
    Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

  • How to contact Apple for Garage Band iPad bugs?

    I looked around a little bit, but couldn't find a place to report Garage Band bugs or contact Apple support for Garage Band iPad. I wanted to notify Apple of the problem that bluetooth audio output in Garage Band does not work. (Yes I am aware of the latency, however, this would still appear to be a bug in Garage Band if a user has explicitly set audio output to bluetooth. Not all applications fo Garage Band require zero latency.)

  • Just downloaded Yosemite on my Mac and the Yosemite update for Garage Band.  Now when I open an existing Garage Band project and click on a vocal track, a message window says, "Could not find General Audio 10" and have no smart controls.  Help?

    Just downloaded Yosemite on my Mac and the Yosemite update for Garage Band.  Now when I open an existing Garage Band project and click on a vocal track, a message window says, "Could not find General Audio 10" and have no smart controls for that track (reverb, etc.)  Help?

    Try this fix posted by Robinson Collins:
    Re: I downloaded Garage Band 2x and the same note appears: there is no General Audio 10. Please advise. Thank you.
    Try this: Go to your menu bar, select "Garageband" and then "Restore Sound Library..."
    It can take awhile to download as it's a pretty big library. You might need to also select "Update Sound Library..." after the restore is done.

  • I'm Just wondering how to make drum beats in garage band using the sounds it comes with? Also how can i use garage band like a drum machine which i can program an entire song part by part????

    I'm new to using Garageband and loops with garage band. I just wanted to see if there was a way for me to use the drum sounds provided in garageband to create my own original drum tracks and work with it like a drum machine that i can program an entire song into... any info or tutorials would be a great help.. Thanks!!!

    Ah ok, I have a better idea of what you want to do now. 
    Unfortunately there isn't anything inside GB that can come anywhere close to Acoustica Beatcraft, but there are two tools inside Garageband that can help you do something similar. 
    First are the built-in keyboards, which will enable you to trigger drum samples with your computer keyboard or mouse.  Go to Window -> Keyboard or Window -> Musical Typing.  Click with your mouse on the Keyboard or press keys on your computer keyboard with Musical Typing, and you will trigger different drum samples for whatever kit you've chosen for that software track.
    Next is the Track Editor: in Piano Roll mode, you can create and see midi notes somewhat similar to the view in this screenshot from AB.  On the left side of the Editor, you will see a sideways piano keyboard.  When you assign a drum kit to a software track, each of the piano keys corresponds to a different instrument: hi hat, snare, bass drum, etc---you'll have to play them using the on-screen keyboard or musical typing to see what they correspond to.   In order to add a MIDI note you hold the CMD button and click with the mouse. 
    So, if you wanted to add a closed hi-hat hit, you would CMD-click on the Track Editor row corresponding to the closed hi-hat piano key, and then you can drag the MIDI note left & right to change the beat it plays on, or resize the note, which will change its duration.
    Or, as you've already observed, you can use Musical Typing to play out a pattern on your computer keyboard while recording, and you will see the midi notes appear in real time in the Track Editor.
    Hope this helps, feel free to ask more questions.

  • Computer Interface (That works) for Garage band?

    Hello All...I am new to G/B-I am wanting to record (sperate) tracks (at the same time) in G/B. I think 8 channels would be perfect, that way I can record varoius drums, a bass and a guitar at the same time. Then I can record other real instruments later, one at a time. I have seen a slew of computer interfaces to acomplish this task, however i would like to purchase one that (I know) (will work) well in garage band. Could any of you vetren G/B producers advise me as to what 8 channel audio interface you use with G/B (that works well) for you? And should it be a firewire or USB based one? I tried a friends (a 8 channel Behringer mixer with a USB, but i could get my mac to recongnize the mixer?
    Thanks so much for any response
    Steve

    I Use the PreSonus FireStudio Mobile. http://www.presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=58
    The FireStudio Project also works. http://www.presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=43
    If you have a FireWire input then use it for your interface rather than USB.

  • Where can I get additional loops for garage band

    I have been limited in the groves in the drum beats and grooves that came with Garage Band 11, I would like to add addional loops.
    How does one go about useing loops THAT WORK SEMELESSLY WITH GB

    How does one go about useing loops THAT WORK SEMELESSLY WITH GB
    The best solution for additional GarageBand loops would be to get the JamPacks, i.e. JamPack "Remix Tools" and "Rhythm Section". These will give you plenty of drum beats and grooves. 
    The Jam Packs have been discontinued, but you get them all, when you buy Mainstage 2 at the AppStore for a moderate fee. Mainstage 2 will install all Jam Packs and additional instruments in the same place where GarageBand  and Logic loops and instruments are installed, so you can use them seemlessly from GarageBand as well. And the price for MainStage 2 with all JamPacks included is as far less than the price for a single JamPack used to be.
    Alternately search the Bullets & Bones FAQ for free loops  http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/PlugInsDrumLoops.html

  • Recording Vocals On iPod Touch For Garage Band etc?

    When using the 'app' 'Garage Band' I want to be able to record people singing in a group and singles. I know there's a built in mic but, I understand this records ambient surrounding sounds. The iPod Touch doens't come with a plug in mic/headphone (headphone combination for 'monitoring') so, I was wondering which one to buy that will give great recording of vocal singing and podcasting? (I think it's called a Uni-Directional mic)
    Thank you 

    two weeks and no one gives a reply!  Oh, well, I'll answer it myself now:
    You can buy a good quality headphone lead that has a microphone built in. It's available on this website from Apple! (be careful not to let the mic rub on clothing collars or it'll pick up the sound!

  • Recording questions for garage band

    Hi I thank you in advance for your help, advice or direction in assisting me correct my lack of knowledge.
    I recently purchased a macbook and it came with garageband and frankly I love this program!!
    I am having a little trouble though with my vocals, I am using a behringer eurorack (the small one) to phantom power my condenser mic and it's plugged directly into my macbook using the typical rca jack. I seem to be getting sort of some distorted really deep vocals out of this. Like instead of recording my energy it's more drowned out kinda layered below the beat. I am not sure what setting I should use for my mixer and the computer. I keep my lows, mids, and hi's kinda half way up on the mixer, my gain is all the way down and my mic output level is a few notches up maybe four bars or so. On garage band I have the mic volume set up almost as high as it can go. Any idea on how I can try to get my mic to sound as normal as possible? Levels you can recommend perhaps..
    Man I owe you guys alot... i'm very appreciative of the help thus far.. Thank you all.

    Then we've ruled out the chance that you were still recording with your internal mic (it happens more often than you'd think!)
    I would suggest turning up the mids and highs if the tone is too deep. Also you should have your gain as high as you can get it without clipping (i.e. before the signal goes into your computer)

  • Minimum Processor for Garage Band 3

    Hello Happy New Year!
    I have a G5 1.8 that I use as my main computer, and use Final Cut, and Garage Band a lot of the time.
    I also have a small sound studio in my basement, and would like to get another back-up computer to also use Garage Band, and Pro Tools.
    The Apple minumum requirement for the installation of iLife 06 is a Power Mac G4 733 Mhz processor.
    With this information, I'm leaning toward buying an 800 mhz, 933mhz, or even 1 Gig mhz Power Mac G4. Do you guys think I should shoot for no less than a 1 Gig Processor to be on the safe side? I'm also trying to safe a little money too.
    Thank you
    Mike

    Hi Hang Time
    How ya doin?
    Thank you so much for your reply ....
    "It depends on how far you plan to push GB, and how/what exactly you plan to record"
    Yes well, I'd like to use the 2nd computer (with Garage Band), to record voice-overs. Say about 10-15 minutes of dialogue at any one time on a single Garage Band track. I don't intend to do any multi-tracking musical scores, but definitely some voice-overs.
    What do you think:
    Say at least a 1 Gig Processor, and 1 Gig Minimum Ram?
    Thanx again
    Mike

  • Update for garage band 3.0.4

    I can;t find the appropriate update for this version of garage band. I have seen somewhere someone suggested to find a garage band 4 before going to 4.1.1, otherwise it'll be impossible to upgrade, but I never found a free download for version 4.0.0 (unfortunately, apple does not even provide free upgrade for people that own original software!!) Anyhow, I need to bring on the comp. my tracks I've done on my electric piano...what would be easier since this version of garage band won;t work via USB...only as a midi controller? simply, buy an interface or buy a new $79 Ilife'09? thanks for help

    if your controller doesn't work with your computer, upgrading GB isn't going to help. get an interface:
