Using Amplitube Metal with Garageband??

Hey everyone,
I'm very new to the mac world - fiance and I just bought one last month. We also purchased Amplitube Metal (which I suppose is some king of program that just gives you a lot of different effects) and the stealth pedal thing (sorry, I don't know much about either lol...)
He is having problems running it with garageband. He is able to open up amplitube under the effects I guess, but garageband doesn't seem to want to work with it as it keeps quitting unexpectedly - and he cannot figure out how to record in garageband WITH amplitube effects.
If anyone can help- please do. I've been googling all day but can't seem to find any helpful info.
Also, sorry, I really have no idea what I'm talking about and neither does he lol

I never used a stealth pedal or amplitube but that won't stop me
You usually start by plugging guitar into a line in on the pedal and usb to computer. Open garageband (real instrument) click on Garageband > Preferences > Audio Midi and select the input in this case the usb codec, stealth or whatever the Mac see it as also choose the output (built in, line out or stealth pedal) whatever your speakers are plugged into. Open the track info window choose the input channel usually mono 1 or mono 2 and turn monitoring on. Make sure track is record enabled.
I believe Amplitube is a AU plugin so choose it from a empty slot in the effect edit window. Double clicking the Amplitube icon should open it in a window to make adjustments.

Using MBox 2 With GarageBand on MacBook Pro Lion 10.7.3

Hi. This is my first Apple Support post. It was recommended that I post to this forum. I've been using my good old MBox 2 with GarageBand on my old MacBook without incident. Someone stole my laptop so I had to buy a new MacBook Pro the other day. On that system, GarageBand at first didn't recognize the MBox at all. A trip to the Genius Bar led to downloading a core audio driver. This enabled GarageBand to recognize the MBox 2 as an interface, and it records without much incident when the audio input/output settings remain on the DigiDesign MBox. HOWEVER, when I change the audio setting to the build-in output, all **** breaks loose. The selected signal bar starts registering a regular, loud, red-lining metalic beeping sound, and at this point the issue remains whether or not I change the audio setting back. They've tried several audio drivers at the Apple Store and nothing is working. Avid requires you to buy support codes, which is ridiculous, so any help on this forum would be extremely appreciated. Thank you!

I have a m-audio fast track pro that I'm having a similar problem when using it with my new Macbook Air. I found changing it to 16 bit will work.
I have a Apogee iMic that works fine so my guess is we will have to wait for Avid/M-Audio to update drivers.

Using USB Microphone With GarageBand iPad?

Hi, I have the Samson G-Track USB Microphone and have been using it with GarageBand for iPad (with a powered USB hub) and I was wondering if there is a way to enable "Monitor" so that when I speak into the microphone I can hear myself in the headphones? I have no problem recording with the microphone, I just can't hear myself when I'm recording. There are a few switches on the actual microphone that could control this or it could all be controlled from iPad itself, just looking for anyone who could help with this matter. Thanks!

I'm having the same problem trying to monitor my turntable recording via a USB phono amp connected via a USB hub to the photo connection kit.
Have you had any help with this yet?

How to use Alesis synthesizer with GarageBand

I have a Alesis QS6.1 64 voice expandable synthesizer. I have purchase a MIDI to USB converter cable and attached the synthesizer to my Power Mac G5 system that is running Mac OS X 10.5.5.
The Audio MIDI Setup program on the Macintosh indicates that it successfully identifies the MIDI device.
I want to be able to use the synthesizer to record in GarageBand. However, when I open GarageBand v2.0.2 and play the synthesizer sound comes out of the synthesizer speaker and nothing happens on the computer. There is no indication that GarageBand is responding at all to the synthesizer.
What is needed so that the synthesizer keyboard will work with GarageBand?

Anyone here use a DrumKAT with Garageband?

Maybe someone can help. My setup is DrumKAT (dk10) into iMac with MIDI-USB cable. My problem is when I close the HiHat with my Pintech pedal, all the pad sound start wavering with tremelo. It does not happen if I play through EZDrummer with Garageband closed, but I'll be needing to record in Garageband and I like the standard drum sounds in Garageband '09.
Does anyone have the answer as to why this is happening? Or if you have a DrumKAT and do not notice this, what is your setup?

Update, Here we are a month later. I upgraded from a DrumKAT dk10 to a 3.8. I did this because I discovered the dk10 didn't have a continuously variable hit hat control function. Well, one of the first things I did after getting lost in the complicated DrumKAT interface for a few hours, was controlling Garageband.
No boing boing with the 3.8.....however, now the hat pedal raises the note like a tympani pedal. I'm sure this is not an Apple problem, but a DrumKAT problem, but still, if anyone is using any KAT with any Apple computer, please respond.

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.

Im using Duet2 Interface with Garageband 09 when I connect my acoustic guitar to the combi jack I get a buzzing/humming sound how can I eliminate this?

I'm using Duet 2 Audio Interface with Garageband 09, when I connect my acoustic guitar to the combi jack I get a buzzing/humming sound. How can I eliminate this?

do you have any thing plugged into wall power? Audio interface, computer, speakers, amp for the guitar? if so are they all plugged into the same power strip? if so, have you tried another outlet?
Altertively have you tried a diffrent port on the combo jack? Have you tried a diffrent guitar cable? Have you tried a diffrent guitar or audio input device like a mic? Is the device directly plugged into the combo jack, or is it being routed throughs some thing?

Using USB preamp with Garageband

Garageband will not recognize my microphone for some reason. I am using an M-Audio USB Preamp, with a Behringer condensor microphone. I have changed the input/output settings in both the mac settings and the garageband settings to "M-Audio Mobilepre USB." Garageband must recognize the preamp because it has it as an option in the input and output. The computer hears the microphone, because the input level bar in system preferences responds to sound. Garageband works fine with the built in mic, and the microphone volume is maxed, so I know that isn't it. Any help?

How did you figure it out?
I've been trying to plug my Gibson into Garage Band but all i get is feedback. I seemed to have followed all the same steps as you. From researching on-line right now it looks like I might have to get a pre-amp... you know anything about that?
any help would be cool.
thanks!

Trouble using USB keyboard with GarageBand

I have a Yamaha DGX-305 keyboard with a USB out. I want to record the real instrument using GarageBand, rather than using MIDI input. Is this possible? GarageBand isn't recognizing the keyboard when I simply plug it in. I've downloaded what looks to be the appropriate driver form the Yamaha site. It sounds like some keyboards are set up for plug-and-play. Is there a way I can get this to work where GarageBand records the real instrument via USB? Thanks.

I've downloaded what looks to be the appropriate driver form the Yamaha site.
But maybe it's not the right one. Is it this one?
When you go to GB's Audio/Midi prefs, does it detect 0 midi devices or 1?

How to use MBox 2 with Garageband 9?

Hello,
I'd like to use the MBox 2 as the digital-to-analog converter to provide audio input into Garageband 9. Does anyone know if this works easily? Or do I need to download any specific drivers, and if yes, any links to where the downloads might be?
thanks!

Using Presonus Firebox with Garageband

I have a Presonus Firebox and I'd like to use it to record in garageband but I can't seem to get my microphone to pick up in garageband. It's hooked to the front on #1, the computer is hooked to the interface via firewire and my keyboard is connected to the interface as well. My keyboard is showing in garageband but I don't know how to get it on a track as well as my microphone. Someone please help! Thank You!

I don't know if you're experiencing the same problem I've been having using both a MOTU 828 firewire interface and Presonus Firebox. Take a look at the thread "GB and MOTU 828".
If it turns out you are having similar problems it would be great for you to give Presonus a call just to let them know you're having the problem. The more calls they can log the better chance that a fix from Apple will be forthcoming. I'm pretty sure it's not just a Presonus issue since my MOTU box had the same problem.
If you discover a fix I'd love to hear what it is. Unfortunately, at the moment I can't offer any help to you. I'm in the same (or similar) boat.

Using a guitar with Garageband 3

I am not able to get my Telecaster to be able to play the real instrument settings in GB3. I am using a Focusrite Saffire audio-interface with a firewire connection etc. The audio-interface has amp simulation and I can hear that through the headphones but I cannot seem to be able to use the GB3 guitar sounds.
I have looked at GB preferences and have Saffire audio noted 'IN & Out' but can't seem to work out how I get to switch to using the GB sounds, any suggestions? Incidently I attended the Apple London seminar, Guitar Players & the mac and this same audio-interface was used on an intel mac with no problems so I guess there is somthing basic that I am not doing.
Your help is appreciated.

How are you trying to apply the settings?
Can you record the guitar clean to a Real Instrument track? What happens when you designate the track as "guitar" and apply the effects/settings?
