Using Band-in-a-Box with GarageBand

Does anyone out there use Band-in-a-Box with GarageBand?
If so, I would have several questions. BinB is a great program ... particularly for setting up chord progressions. And, completely compatible with G/B.
Used it many times w G/B 2. But running into a few difficulties w G/B '09 (or, 5), whatever.
Thanks.

What's the difficulties? Creating a midi file in BiaB and dropping it into GB should work fine!

  • Is there any way to use the Korg Kaossilator Pro with Garageband 6.0.5?

    I'm getting pretty decent at working around with the newest version of Garageband. I've gotten my Akai MPK Mini (usb/midi keyboard) to work by adjusting a few preferences here and there, but for the last week I have been trying and trying to get my Korg Kaossilator Pro to hook up MIDI with Garageband. I understand if the program/software isn't as advanced as Logic or Ableton (be getting those soon!) If anybody could help me it would be MUCH appreciated
         P.S. if anybody is having troubles with exporting the AIFF/WAV/MP3 audio files I could give you a bit of help. I have figured out how to correctly export the audio loops and sounds that I have made from my Kaossilator Pro into Garageband! It is quite simple actually and is ALOT easier than you would think. Following the tempo/pitch for your song w/ these WAV/AIFF files is really easy too! I have made almost 4 songs now just using samples and loops from my Kaossilator Pro. I just would like to know if anybody has found out how to use it MIDI w/ Garageband? It would REALLY help me out Thanks!

    yeeeeah thats what i've been figuring out for the last 12 hours haha. kinda've a pain but hey it works out. u can still throw some pretty cool effects and what not. Even with MIDI cables running from my kaoss pro into my mac doesn't work. i can transfer the loops I make on my kaoss pro to the editor on my comp, then transfer those files to GB then go from there. It ***** there isn't a way to hook it in and sync it w/ GB so you can hit record then start jamming on the kaoss pro. Thanks for the response though!

  • Using an Analogue mixing desk with garageband?

    Hi guys,
    As you can tell i'm really not a techie!
    I'm looking to use a mixing desk with garageband, it's analogue and i have the new macbook pro retina, but I don't know how i could connect it to my mac. I need it for recording demos, but firstly will it be compatible? I dont wanna have to spend £90 on a pricey iRig when i already have a perfectly good Roland vs1680 sat here. Also, would I be able to use it to convert my guitar sound and output MIDI synthesised sounds from my mac to my Line 6 Amplifier?
    Any help is appreciated,
    Blake

    unfortunately I do not have a second mac (g5 or otherwise as I sold it when I bought new one lol) to try this method. I did notice m-audio had updated there drivers for osx 10.4 but unfortunately these drivers only work for g5/g4/g3 mac and not for the intel mac keyboards so at the moment I do not have a workaround for this problem. I have emailed m-audio and asked for a timeframe for drivers but have not received a response yet so at the moment I am unaware of any usb midi keyboard that works natively for a intel mac which is rather tragic lol as garageband is basically unuseable without a method of inputting midi but hopefully someone will prove me wrong and suggest a solution. On another issue my usb keyboard and mouse had the freezing problem that seems quite common but after a lengthy phonecall to apple I asked for a replacement wireless bluetooth keyboard and mouse which I have received and can report works absolutely perfectly so there may have been a bad batch of usb keyboard/mouse combinations made. Otherwise everything is working perfectly and I am delighted with the new imac

  • Problems using M Audio Fast Track with Garageband

    According to the blurb, the M Audio Fast Track (USB) 'is class compliant in Mac OSX offering true plug-and-play operation. Just plug in, and you're ready to start recording'. This is why I bought it, but I am experiencing no end of problems actually getting it to register with Garageband '08.
    The problems are (a) I cannot hear any sound coming 'through' the Fast Track and Garageband (b) I can hear the guitar if I plug the headphones into the Fast Track, but nothing is recorded in Garageband (c) my mic, which is plugged into the line socket intended for guitars because I don't have the larger connection, reports no sound at all.
    Any ideas, or tips to how others have managed to set up this 'plug-and-play' device would be greatly welcomed.

    Did you ever get this to work? I just today bought a Fast Track Pro. I have it hooked to my MBP via USB. I can see in control Panel two inputs:
    M-Audio Fast Track Pro UDB: Line Input
    M-Audio Fast Track Pro UDB: S/PDIF
    Problem is, there is no sound registering on the Input Level on either choose.
    I have the Power On and have tried both Input 1 & 2, bith in stereo and mono mode.
    (Just to be clear, I connect the electric guitar directly to the Fast track pro, correct?)
    I have read the owners manual but it is worthless. I thought this would be easy to set up.
    Also note that GarageBand preferences the Audio Output and Input are selected to Fast Track Pro.
    What am I doing wrong?

  • Can I use my old Ensoniq ASR10 with GarageBand?

    Hello:
    My trusty M-Audio Keystation 49e has given up the ghost (the keys don't send MIDI signals anymore). I've tried hitting it with a hammer but, alas, to no avail.
    I have made sacrifices at the altar of MIDI Monitor, etc, but the gods will not be appeased,
    Oh well.
    Anyway, I dusted off my ancient Ensoniq ASR10 (it performed miracles back in the day) and am now wondering if I could use this as a MIDI controller in GarageBand. By this I mean can I use it to replace the M-Audio Keystation and play the various instruments, etc. in Garageband? Buying an M-Audio MIDI to USB adapter is a lot cheaper than buying a new M-Audio Keystation (or a even a used one). But I want to be assured it will work first before I spend the dosh.
    The Ensoniq ASR10 has a standard MIDI In, Out and Thru.
    So please, anyone, any thoughts?
    Thanks

    MIDI is MIDI, regardless of what device sends it. as long as the interface you buy is compatible with your OS version, it'll work, if the keyboard works.

  • I am using a tascam-144 interface with garageband. How do I remap SD7k kit?

    Hopefully someone can help me on here.
    Garageband is picking up my TASCAM 144 midi interface when using my sd7k drum kit, however, all of the pads are not registering in the program. I will hit the hi-hat and crash, which play fine, but the snare, kick drum and other toms are not registering in garage band. I have researched online and found a procedure called re-mapping each individual pad so that it plays each snare, kick drum, crash, hi hat, etc. Does anybody know an easy way to do this through the program?
    Thanks in advance,
    Shari

  • Using a 4 track recorde with Garageband

    I am new to this so forgive me if this sounds stupid.
    I have a Yamaha, Mini-disc 4-track recorder. It has MIDI in/out and I have a MIDIsport 1x1 MIDI to USB cable. Is there anyway to send the MIDI signal to garage band or what should I do. I am doing vocal recording only and would like to use My MD 4-tr. recorder. Can these two be used together or is my attempt futile. Thanks

    MIDI is not audio, so no.
    If your Mac has a Line In, you could use a Line-Out from the 1/4 track recorder which will let you record a stereo track at a time in GarageBand.

  • Can you use a home signal box with airport?

    I have just been sent a home signal box by my mobile phone provider (3) as I have poor signal at home.  It works if connected directly to the router but not when plugged into the airport.
    Has anyone come across this issue?
    Thanks

    There have been a number of successful cases of establishing a WDS between the Linksys WRT54G series and the 802.11g AirPort Express Base Station (AX), but I am not aware of anyone that has been successful using a WRE54G to extend the AX.

  • Using an external usb keyboard with garageband

    Hi there, Recieved my 20' imac today and am delighted with it overall had no problems and all programs run smoothy. I installed my garageband jam packs (I have four which I bought from apple) and then plugged in my m-audio radium 49 (also purchased from apple) keyboard and was looking forward to giving garageband a good workout. Unfortunately my intel mac doesnt seem to recognise keyboard at all and will not work. As I have spent many hundreds of pounds on garageband extras does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this standard apple recommended keyboard (its still on sale on site with no mention of incompatibility with intel imac) to work.
    Have tested keyboard on a g4 setup and it worked straight away in garageband any help would be most appreciated thanks

  • Can I use like a message box with PL/SQL?

    Hi!
    Well I was making some tests on my forms then i realized that when i erased something it was just like that, no anouncement or something like that and it was gone, so i think users of this might make mistakes, iike erasing somedata very easy, so I want to do something to send a confirmation message in case that the user intents to erase something, something like a messagebox ....
    so I want to use PL/SQL code to do this and i believe that the code should go in the +... before processing the form. + section for my form...
    can you help me? 'cause I don't know how to do it?
    thanks in advance.

    You may use the javascript code embedded into pl/sql to prompt users. This means you can put this in all of those places where you may include your html code. for example, in the submit button's html specs.
    You may keep the following code in the additional pl/sql code region and then call such a function (eg, alertCancel() ) in the submit button of your form. Here is a working example.
        htp.p('
              <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
              function alertCancel()
                     if (confirm("Do you really want to cancel this request?") {
                          window.close();
           </script>
        ');Just do a google search for how to call a javascript function from html, if you need.
    hope that helps!

  • Using my digital drum set with GarageBand

    I have a Session pro dd506 digital drum set. I've connected it to my mac via a usb cable. If I hit my digital drum pads then my mac sounds a note as you would expect. but the problem is that for example my snare will be the floor tom and my first tom will be the crash symbol (they're all mixed up). Is there a way to assign different sounds to each pad?
    Thanks

    if your kit doesn't allow you to reassign the control codes, take a look at MIDIPipe which is supposed to do that (among the other things it does)
    @ HangTime... are you saying it is possible to use a 3rd party app to reassign keys/pads etc from a MIDI controller to GB midi instruments??
    I would love to get something like the Alesis Control Pad and assign GB's drum kits logically to the pads. Right now I have an M-Audio Axiom 49 which has 8 finger pads and it would be good to even make this make sense.

  • How to use old "Apple Loops for Soundtrack" with Garageband

    Since Soundtrack (was part of FinalCut Express HD) doesn't work anymore (since some ProKit framework update) and was not part of the FinalCut Express 4 upgrade I used Garageband for sound creation and editing. But I missed some good loops from the old Soundtrack.
    The Apple Loops for Soundtrack were still sitting on my harddisk but Garageband didn't recognize them in the Loop-Browser. Looking at the structure I found the Search Index files (/Library/Audio/Apple Loop Index/). I have two there, one for Garageband and another for iLife Sound Effects. Both are interpreted by Garageband. But no third for the old Soundtrack Loops. So I had a look at the Sound Loops installer DVD from FinalCut HD and there I found a similar structur and copied the Index file to the location of the two indexes mentioned above. I left the Loops for Soundtrack where they are (also could edit the index file for new locations, but that's a 7.5MB text file) and now Garageband knows their location and also lists the loops at the right categories inside the Loop-Browser.
    Maybe that helps someone, even if I didn't find a topic about it here.

    Ah.. ok, then never mind. Just didn't find any information about how to use the old soundtrack loops with garageband and so I did some thinking on my own. And if it works that easy, the better it is

  • 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?

  • Equivalent to Band in a Box?

    I'm looking for something to play backup tracks, so that I can solo over them, or practice melodies with backup. I've used Band in a Box in Windows before -- and that would be perfect. But, it is VERY pricy, and, I was hoping that Garage band would do something similar.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to input a set of chord progressions, style of music, etc, and have garage band play backup for me?
    Let Me know!

    If you look at http://www.pgmusic.com/ubbthreads/postlist.php?Cat=0&Board=UBB1&lang=english , they are looking for Biand in a box for OSX beta testers. So I guess it will be avaialable in a near future.
