Using Garage Band to import Turntable LPs for CD Conversion

I am using a MacBook Pro, Dual Intel Core, OS X 10.4.7 and an ION ITT-USB Turntable that connects directly with a USB Cable. I've opened Garage Band and set Audio/Midi Preferences for Built-in Input and Built-In Output, as someone suggested. I created a New Track called "Real Instrument" and selected the Turntable Icon. When I click the red "record" dot and start the TT, it looks like it's recording. However, when I try to play back---there doesn't appear to be anything there. Suggestions?
Before moving into Garage Band I'd try using Audacity that comes with the ION TT but the INPUT LEVELS were so low I could hardly hear the music, and I haven't been able to figure out how to raise them to an acceptable level. The goal is to transfer several vinyls I have to CD, but...

I'm not sure what you mean?
What I mean is what I said. Here's a pic to help you:
See the red dot on the track? When you create a New Basic Track, as Hang instructed, you click on this to Arm your track, so you can record onto it.

    I am using garage band for the first time.  I dragged and dropped a song from itunes into the program and I want to extend the length of the song by repeating the first 28 measures.  I can't figure it out.  Please help.  I have spent several hours trying to figure it out on my own but have not been successful.  It seems like an easy task.  Can anyone help?

  • Can I use garage band to edit my own original music from itunes? Or can I import my own music straight from a C.D. or Flashdrive?

    Can I use Garage band (garage band '11) to edit my own original music that I have stored in my itunes library? Is it even possible to edit your own music with Garage band ? And how would you import your songs into it? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    How do I upgrade the ram?
    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.
    Crucial
    Other World Computing
    Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
    Revert to a Previous OS X - Yosemite
    Revert to Snow Leopard
    If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

  • How to use Garage Band to play a live gig (voice and acoustic guitar)

    Hello!
    I'd like to know if I could I use Garage Band to play a live gig (voice and nylon acoustic guitar).
    I have an M-Audio fast Track PRO (with 2 plug-ins) as well.
    Is the M-Audio Fast track strictly for recording or could it be used for live too?
    And for the speaker I though about splitting the audio output from the computer into 2 and one would connect to a loudspeaker going outwards and the other towards me as a monitor.
    And the set I wanted to do included a DJ.
    I have the Djay spin table and the software.
    Would it be possible to run GarageBand for me with the voice and guitar plugged into the M-Audio and then into the Mac and equalize it (and either record it or just play through it). And, on another screen the Djay software and also connect the spin table into the Mac and run it together with me?
    Thanks,
    Fernando.

    just playing through GB should be fine, but recording, especially with other software running, might fail. if having a record of the event isn't the most important thing, then go for it. otherwise, i'd suggest using an audio editor to capture the event as you play though GB:

  • 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!

  • Using Garage Band Sampler on iPad2.

    Hi.
    Using Garage Band ....Sampler simply stopped working and no longer records any sounds.
    Any clue, anyone?

    What is your GarageBand version?
    The sampler is part of the in-app purchase in GarageBand 2.0 -  see this Support Document:
    Expanding GarageBand for iOS 2.0 content with an in-app purchase http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6032
    With a one-time in-app purchase, you can add Guitar Amp, Smart Keyboard, Smart Bass, Smart Strings, Smart Drums, Sampler, and a total of 157 preset sounds. The purchased instruments appear in the Touch Instrument browser after you purchase them.
    In GarageBand 1.4 the sampler is here: see  Play sounds with the Sampler  http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.4/index.html#chs392814a5

    My mic works just fine while using Siri, but when I use garage band I doesn't. Like when I try to record my voice and I play it back, it's completely mute? Does anyone know how to fix it?

  • How do i use Garage Band Instruments in Mainstage (2.1.3)

    Hi guys,
    as an added task to the current importing of Garageband Instruments into MainStage; is it possible to import the Sound Effects sound that has been assigned samples from Garageband.
    I'll explain what I would like to do.. I would like to use, in MainStage, the Sampled clips I made in Garageband that have been saved as an Instrument under Sound Effects.
    Hope it makes sense.
    At the moment I can import it and get it on the right instrument but its just making a basic noise.
    Cheers if you can help.

  • 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.
    Regards

    Simple. GarageBand question, GarageBand forum where all those users are jacked into their Macs and can tell you how. Also look to the right of your post to the column, "More Like This."---------------------------------------------->
