Using a Modeling Signal Processor in Garage Band

Hey guys! I recently became a Mac convert (Yay!). I'm wanting to record an album I've been writing using GarageBand, I have a hard time getting what I like using the settings in the program. I have a Korg Ampworks guitar modeling signal processor / preamp, and I find it much easier (and better) to use to get the effects I want (especially for delay). Is there a way I can use the processor and record using GarageBand?
Thanks guys!
~Jonathan

plug it into your computer?
That would be it. You may need an adapter, but that should do it.

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

How do I take a voice memo and save it in my music app or use it as a sample in garage band

i don't know how to use a voice memo on my iPhone 5c in garage band as a sample or audio recording. I also want to save it under my music app

to do both of these, you will need to go through iTunes: sync your iPhone, change the nature of the voice memo from "voice memo" to "music", make sure it shows in your iTunes library, then sync the iPhone again.

I want to use my ipad2 to connect to garage band on my mac and record from my ipad directly to garage band

I like the guitar sound on my ipad and want to incorporate it into a project that I have on my Mac in garageband. Is there any way to hook my ipad up to my mac and use it like I would the keyboard I use to record into garage band?

To do it, you have to partition the hard disk, so you will have one partition for Time Machine and another one to store files and use them in a PC and Mac. To create the partition, follow these steps > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html
In order to read and write in the external disk on the PC, you have to select "MS-DOS (FAT)" as "Format". If you choose any other option, the PC won't be able to read your external disk. Apart from that, note that you can't use files bigger than 4 GB with FAT. If you want to use the external disk with files bigger than 4 GB, you have to format your new partition in exFAT, and you have to do it on a PC

Can I use a MOTU 828mII interface with Garage Band

I have a MOTU 828mII interface and I want to use it with Garage band. How do I set it up?

You should be able to no problem . I might be speaking to fast .. Now you didn't say what your weapon of choice was. An iMac or what. I use a MOTU 128. With an iMac.
As I remember you install the software for you MOTU unit. Then go check for the newest driver and install it.
Now for G.B... look in the preferences for GB .. Look at the Audio/ Midi settings. There you can select the unit you want.
Peace ...

Using Autotune AVOX EVO in Garage band

Pretty much how do you use Antares Autotune Avox Evo in Garage Band.
Thanks a lot for your guys' help! =]

You use the AU version of it. Open it like any other AU.

Garage band already installed but now its again downloading 1.17gb

MACBOOK AIR 128gb 13 inch, I am using Yosemite 10.10.1
my garage band is downloading again 1.17 gb. how to stop this?

Hi Marc,
As mentioned above, because of the way that SBO converts version numbers in to integer values to compare between versions, you do need to make sure that each segment of your version numbers have the same number of digits.
With regards to the version number message, please check that there is no reference to the older version of the add-on in either the AddOnsInstall.sbo or AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo files. These are XML files that are stored in the SBO client folder on the workstation. They hold details of which add-ons are installed and which ones are pending. If the older version does appear then you can remove that <AddOn> node, resave the files and then restart SBO to see if this corrects the problem (note: if you are not familiar with these files then I recommend you make a temporary backup of them before doing any editing).
Kind Regards,
Owen

should i come into the actual apple store or can you help online ?

Hi vickkjayy11 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Just to be clear, we are a peer to peer support community and have nothing official to do with Apple.
So to your problem, when you say:
"I reset my macbook pro a few days ago"
What exactly happened? Did you have a Time Machine backup?
Read this:
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
It would help to know the exact model (size and year) and which OS you're using.

To even use garage band?

A few quick questions.
I dont use garage band yet and I plan on buying an apple in a few days.
1) Can I plug my instrument (guitar/bass) into an interface like the Fast Track Pro and use Garage Band?
2) Do I have to use an amp for this, or can I just plug in directly?
3) Can you change the effects of the guitar using Garage Band? Such as change from clean to distortion?
Thanks a lot

You'll love it - I don't even use an interface (had a fastrack and an AUDIO BUDDY pre-amp) but didn't even need em' - I get a hot signal going straight in with a 1/4" -> 1/8" adapter (Radio Shack - $5) - my LP has stock HB's - my Imac has some sort of pre-amp in it cause my signal sounds great with GB, Amplitube, Guitar Rig, etc.
Garageband fives you a bunch of amps and different effects too - fully tweakable and allows you to use AU plug-ins too. The JAM PACKS give you even more amps. I also run my Zoom G2 directly in too and use it's amps and effects sometimes... Garageband is a guitar players DREAM COME TRUE!

Garage Band : M Audio Duo USB Midi... signal in yes, audio out no

Dug my M Audio Duo USB Midi out of the closet and trying to lay some tracks in Garage Band, but problems. I could use a hand. When attempting to record...
- OK: Garage Band recognizes the device and I'm able to 'seemingly' record audio (from external mic via midi device)
- NOT OK: I'm not able to 'monitor' via line out through Mac - headphones plugged into Mac (line out through midi is okay, but only picks up native signals, not tracks from Garage Band)
- NOT OK: Also, replaying the track doesn't produce ANY sound (despite the track showing a signal)
Any ideas? Is M Audio Duo compatible - it's pretty old piece of hardware.
Cheers!

First you are not using MIDI you are recording Audio that has been digitized.
If you can't hear the playback through the interface make sure you choose the interface as your output device in garageband preferences and you have the mix knob on the interface set to the playback/return side.
I just looked at the interface and it doesn't seem to have any mix knob try toggling the stand alone mode button.

Ipod Garage Band does not recognise Blue Mikey..... even though it gets signal.

I just installed Garage Band on my 3rd gen iPod touch and am not getting past the '"No Audio Input" dialog. But here's the weird bit... I have a Blue Mikey mic plugged into the dock input and it is registering on the VU meter. Audio is getting into the unit - and into the application but it won't allow me to record as it doesn't 'see' a microphone plugged into the audio/headphone jack. I might try plugging something in there to fool it...
I specifically tracked down a 3rd gen model as it is the last ipod touch to allow audio recording through the doc connection. I'm figuring that the Garage Band programmers forgot that earlier models allowed dock connected microphones?
(BTW there is nothing wrong with the hardwar - I can still record using other apps.... but Garage Band would rock the free world.)

Ah really? Does it record without headphones plugged in? (I usually use it for band recording)
I have been reluctant to update to iOS5 because I was afraid it would introduce software issues with Fire (Blue's recording app). I assume they will abandon development for native Mikey software at some point.
Have you used Fire with iOS5?
I should update to iOS5, Garage band will possibly replace Fire if it works OK. Thanks for the tip!

How do I use a song in my iTunes library to record with in garage band on my iPhone?

How do I use a song in my iTunes library to record with in garage band on my iPhone? Like music from my library I want to use invGarageBand to record over.

Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

How do I use Garage Band to practice my guitar against lesson CDs and backing track CDs

How do I use Garage Band to practice my guitar against lesson CDs and backing track CDs

GarageBand on your Mac or on an iPad?
If you are asking abot GB on a Mac you do the following:
Create a new GarageBand project with a Guitar track
Insert the CD and drag the audio file of the Lesson track or backing track to an empty region below the tracks in the timeline of the GarageBand window.
Plug in a set of head phones and put them on to listen to your backing track.
Plug in your guitar and select the guitar track.
Click on the measure where you want to start your recording and select the guitar track.
Press "record" and start to play.

Can't update software because a message appears that I have to log with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase them: iMovie, Garage Band

I can't update software because a message appears that I have to log with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase them: iMovie, Garage Band, iPhoto, but those apps came with OSX Lion.
How can I get the "original" Apple ID?

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.
