Using "real instruments" - not showing up

I'm very new to Mac and Garageband, so this may be simple. I'm using a Roland RD300sx as my keyboard. I loaded the driver. Followed all other directions provided by tutorial and manuals, but after 2 hours I can't get GB to recognize the input. I saw Midi inpts: 0, which confirms it. What am I doing wrong? I also tried running the keyboard through a Tascam digital recorder, but that wasn't recognized either. Everything, so far, is USB. ????

Oh yeah, one more detail...Logic is showing all my Jam Pack loops just fine...but for some reason none of the instruments. UGH!

Using real instruments to control software instruments

I recently bought the Apogee Duet to play my guitars and keyboard directly into Garageband (and soon Logic Studio). My problem is that I haven't been able to figure out how to control software instruments using real instruments. For example, is there way for me to connect my Piano Keyboard through Duet into my computer, but use it to play software tracks like strings and horns, etc? I would like to do this without using MIDI, since I just spent $500 on the Duet. Is this possible, or is the only way to control software instruments through an external instrument by using MIDI? Thanks so much for any help....

Assuming your keyboard requires an external MIDI interface (some have MIDI interfaces onboard), you can pick one up pretty cheaply - for example, M-Audio's Midisport or Uno are decent and inexpensive.

Why can't GB let me use 'electric guitar' option when using Nio 2/4 interface - I have to use real instrument and miss out on all the effects. Is this normal for all interfaces?

Why can't GB let me use 'electric guitar' option when using Nio 2/4 interface - I have to use real instrument and miss out on all the effects. Is this normal for all interfaces? The Nio reads hte guitar but GB doesn't....

Usually effects packages are AU plugins that would have no effect on track selection. Interfaces should have no control over what kind of track you can select. I really think something else is going on her maybe something you overlooked.
Did you choose the input channel in the track info pane. Try both channel 1 mono or channel 2 mono. Make sure the track is record enabled.

Using real instruments on Powerbook G4

Hi,
I've been using garageband on my ibook for over a year now and thought that I would try using it on my sister's PowerBook G4. The program works fine with software instruments, but when I plug my gutiar into it and try to use other real instruments with it it does not record a thing. This is weired because the program fully registers that a real instrument is plugged in and looks as if its recording while I'm playing what I'm playing on it. So, why is this? Is there any way I can fix this problem? How would I do it?

I think I understand what you are doing and what the problem might be:
"Then I open garageband and start a new file. Then I change the instrument setting from software instruments to real instruments."
When GB opens it has a software piano track that it displays by default. You create a new track. The screen comes up and you set it up as a Real Instrument Track. When you create a new track it will be enabled for recording and a little red button will light up showing that that track is enabled for recording, as long as that track is selected.
"Then I delete the software track and begin to try and record a new basic track."
When you select the software instrument track to delete it, you are deselecting the track you just created and GB turns off the track-enabling button on that real instrument track. Try not deleting that default software piano track and see if that helps. It certainly doesn't hurt to leave it there.
"Then I push the record button and start to play. As I'm playing I'll see the line moving and the color changing purple or red or whatever color it turns, I don't remember which indicating that I'm recording something."
That is the part I don't understand, because it shouldn't be creating any sort of colored region, but the line does move. That's my best guess, anyway.

Real Instruments Not playing - effects are

In one of my songs, the real instruments do not play. However, I can hear the reverb and echo for these tracks. The tracks still respond to editing. The drum loop and Software Piano play just fine.

Thanks for the suggestions. I can't remember deleting any tracks... however, how would i check for "hidden" tracks?
The funny thing is i can hear the effect returns for the real instrument tracks...tracks that are heavily reverbed i can hear a faint echo of the track. and like i mentioned the drum loop and software piano still play fine.
And, I also see monitor activity in the real instrument tracks when i play the song. Everything looks normal, but of course, the sound isn't there.
Thanks again for your help!

Lost iPhone 5, Battery Dead, Last Used 10hrs Ago, Not Showing Last Known Location?

I lost my iphone 5 and now the battery is dead. I last used it 10 hours ago, but iCloud is not showing it's "last known location" - it just says it's offline. iCloud is supposed to show it's last known location for 24 hours. How can I find it's last known location if I know it was used just 10 hours ago?

So, the conclusion of my story is: I immediately logged into iCloud from my computer as soon as I noticed it was missing. I put my phone into 'Lock Mode' which allowed me to apply a passcode and message on the screen instructing the finder to call my friend's #. 4 days later, my friend got a phone call - a guy who tried to restore and activate it for his own use discovered it was impossible without my newly applied passcode, and he decided to heed the message I had displayed. He claims he bought it for cheap off craigslist, but I think he found it, tried to activate it, couldn't, and felt guilty. The happy ending is he agreed to meet me and hand back over my phone. Unbelievable!
BUT - there is no reason why it should have not displayed the last known location when I initially checked online. My Find My iPhone was turned on, and it should have worked, but it didn't. It simply said it was offline even though it was well within the 24 hour time period of when I last had it in my possession. So fortunately, the LOCK MODE was enough to deter the would be new owner from going through with trying to sell, hack, or activate it.

Used disk space not showing up in finder

A friend has asked me to look into his external hard drive issue.
He got it back from a store that backed up his start-up drive to this external the other day to discover that there isn't any visible files on the drive. It does state that there is 100 gigs being used on the drive, the exact size of his back up, but there isn't one file or folder on the drive.
I've used tinkertools to see if there was any hidden files with no luck and I've also repaired and verified the permission.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I don't want to simply re-format without a clue why the 100 gigs isn't showing.

Iphone 5 small purple spot when using back camera, not showing in video mode

Hi all,
Had taken some pictures this week in the street and wasn't noticing anything major. Tonight I needed to take some pictures here at home and I noticed on one picture a smallish weird spot. Went back to the place I took it to make sure it wasn't there (on the floor) but it wasn't.
I then proceeded with using the camera and I can see the spot stays there wherever I move with it. When I zoom, the spot zooms away with it making it possible for a clear picture. When I put the video mode on, there's no spot whatsoever. When I use the front camera, there is no spot as well.
As it doesn't show up in video mode, I'm assuming it has nothing to do with the lens but maybe more software/hardware or iOS related, or am I wrong?
Is there anything to be done about this? From what I found online people said to turn off the phone and back on, tried it to no avail.
Can always take it back to the shop but I'm assuming this will make it be sent back to apple repair centers etc. so it might take a while to get it back for a relatively simple issue, nothing that can be done any other way?

I have the same issue - perhaps not exact but extremely similar. In photo mode, there is a small purplish speck, which I initially thought as dust or something, and of course it ends of in photos taken. However, this speck is not present in video mode, meaning there is no dust, but some sort of artifact on the photo processor or something. Either way, itsa product defect - I plan on seeing if Apple will support this and replace thephone.....

Lightroom: Geotags/ locations from iphoto import (using plugin) are not showing in Lightroom and metadata

Hi, I imported my iphotos to Lightroom using the plugin and realised that the geotagging/locations that I did on iphoto did not get transferred. What is the best way for me to get the geotags transferred without having to geotag all the photos on Lightroom again? Going forward, I intend to geotag my photos on Lightroom only, how do I make sure they are in the metadata? Thanks!

Hi ltjunior,
Where are your images stored on your computer?
Can you locate them, and import them directly from Finder to Lightroom's Library module?

Need help with Garage Band 11 and my TASCAM interface recording Real Instrument

I am using a TASCAM US-122 interface with garage band 11 on a mac at 32 bit running osx 10.6.6. Garage Band preferences / audio input and output set to TASCAM (which means it recognizes it) , but when using Real Instrument for the TASCAM and the track is armed , etc... the record function works when started except "no sound" from the device I am running thru TASCAM is being detected.
I am getting sound out of the TASCAM and simply running an AKAI mpc beat as a test. I am sure there is something simple I have yet to do but not sure what it is in Garage Band.
Can you help ? Thanks. GARY

with the real instrument track selected...
make sure the info pane is showing on the right (click the little "i" on the bottom right to open it; "Real Instrument" should be highlighted in blue on top).
On the bottom of the info pane it says "Input Source" and "Monitor."
Make sure the Input Source is set to the Tascam channel you're using (the channel, mono or stereo, that you've plugged your MPC into).
And if you want to hear it as you record, make sure the Monitor is set to ON.

Can I get Notation when recording from a "Real Instrument"?

Hi all,
I am plugging my Triton TR keyboard to my interface.
When in GB, I can record as a "software", and I can get the notation because I am using the soundbank of GB.
I would like to use the soundbank from my Triton TR, so I use 'Real' instrument, but at the bottom of the screen where it shows the details of what Im recording, I can only see waves, not the notation.
Can I see the notation that I am playing from the 'real' instrument?? Because I know that its receiving the information of 'what' I am playing because my midi is connected as well.
Can anyone help?
thanks a million

You can record midi and audio in parallel, so you can see the notes of what you played. But changes in the recorded midi track won't affect the audio, since you don't send midi out to trigger your keyboard's sounds.

I tried to add sf2 instruments. I put them in the audio/banks file but they do not show up in the DSL instruments on Garage Band. Why not?

How can I get sf2 intruments that I've downloaded to use in my GarageBand? I have downloaded them and have put them both in the GarageBand instruments folder and the Audio/Banks folder of my Library, but they do not show up in GarageBand on the DSL instruments as they should. I have some instruments in that category that I must have put in before, but can't find them in the audio/banks folder or the GarageBand instruments folder and cannot locate them with a my computer finder anywhere. They are listed in the DSL instruments on GarageBand when I open the program. Is there another library that this version of GarageBand can be using?? I have GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.4)d, which was updated a while back. I had the previous version of GarageBand with a diffent system quite a bit earlier. I've look in the "previous system" folder as well, and cannot find the instruments, or an audio/banks folder at all.

Mortimer, iTunes does not know when you restore a file. After you restore the file, you need to re-add the file to iTunes.
If you know exactly which files you restores, re-add them using File > Add File to LIbrary.
Otherwise, lre-add the folders. iTunes has certain safeguards to reduce duplicates when you do this, which are not perfect but are better than nothing. Start with a few small folders and see if you are happy with the results.

Metadata values not showing in Site Studio layout using Idoc Script

Hi All,
We have a SS layout (secondary) with replaceable regions for showing content that is listed in a primary page dynamic list.
Part of the layout shows contribution elements of Contributor Data File content items, but part of layout also shows metadata values. We use  to show the content item Title with no problems.
However, for some content items, some metadata values are not showing on the layout - specifically a custom metadata field called xFinishDate (which is of type 'Date' in Config Man). The code  simply does not work (nothing is displayed) for some content items, despite definitely having a set FinishDate value. Some other content items show this value fine.
The  value works for ALL items, but the  does not, and there appears to be no difference between the items that it does, and does not work for. They are all CDF, same DocType, same CheckIn profile, etc.
The non-working items are all released and indexed. Their Content Information in Content Server shows complete metadata. I have resubmitted the non-working items for reconversion in Repo Man but no luck.
Is there something I am missing? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Luke.

Actually the default DOC_INFO resultset that is on the page seems to be for the content item being loaded into the secondary layout's replaceable regions. This is why DOC_INFO.dDocTitle gives the results expected.
However, I think I have discovered why the xFinishDate value was not showing. Using sapan's code (and modifying it a bit) I was able to print out all the metadata field names and values for default DOC_INFO resultset.
Using this URL as an example: http://www.bond.edu.au/about-bond/jobs-at-bond/BD3_011217
At the top of page region (replaceable) where the Contributor Data File is loaded into, the DOC_INFO resultset is relevant to the content item that is being loaded into the layout (content ID: BD3_011217 - as per the URL format), which is what we want.
However, throughout the Contributor Data File content, if a link is made using the Site Studio link wizard via FCK Editor (in the above case, it is the position description link, which is a link to a PDF) and the link is 'Link to a file' and the 'Choose Target section' is selected as 'Use default website section metadata', the resulting link looks like "http://www.bond.edu.au/about-bond/jobs-at-bond/BD3_011216". Any references to the DOC_INFO resultset on the page after the instance of this link now use the metadata of the content item referred to in the link, not the original content item. I have dumped out the DOC_INFO fields/values in different parts of the layout to prove this. The linked content item has no xFinishDate value so this is why nothing displays (displaying xFinishDate needs to happen after the link to the position description).
I guess I need to either:
- change the way the link is made to the content item to "Link to the Content Item's URL", but I would prefer not to expose the resulting path e.g. "[!--$HttpRelativeWebRoot--]groups/group-name/@account-name/documents/content-type/content-id.pdf"
- explicitly make a resultset using  with the content ID I know I want and use it instead of the default DOC_INFO one. Is there any other way to make a resultset comprising of a single item's metadata?
9.45 SS_GET_SEARCH_RESULTS
■ Description: This is a wrapper around the regular CS GET_SEARCH_RESULTS
service. It allows some Site Studio features to be specified simply as flags and have
the real query syntax be constructed on the server. It can modify the standard
'SearchResults' resultset to contain an additional column called 'ssUrl' which will
contain the Site Studio-friendly url for all of the search results.
■ Parameters:
– siteId: the unique identifier of the site (required).
– ssLimitScope: True/False, restricting scope to within the site only (optional).
– ssUserSearchText: user-supplied search text (optional).
– ssWebsiteObjectType: object type (optional).
– computeFriendlyUrls: True/False, modify results to include ssUrl (optional).
■ Returns: resultset named ’Search Results’.
■ Security: The user must have at write access to at least one security group on the
content server
Thanks to everyone for their help. Almost there!

Real-Time does not show up as an add-in under NI Max after installing

We are trying to re-install Labview 7.1 Real-Time on a Windows 2K
PC. I insert the Real-Time disk and it completes
installation. After a Reboot, I check under
Softaware/LabView/Addins and it does not show up. It also does
not show up as a target option when I start labview. It worked
before applying the latest RIO patch. After the patch, we
uninstalled all the Real-Time stuff via the Control Panel/National
Instruments Uninstall (apparently, the uninstall from the RT CD does
not actually uninstall anything) We rebooted a directed after
uninstalling. Then we reinstalled RT, rebooted, and nothing shows
up for it. It seems like something is screwed up in the registry
or something. Can anyone help!!!!
Thanks,
Chris

It may be best to clean your registry after uninstalling everything.
This is a relatively extreme step, but after this you should be able to
install (first LabVIEW, then any DAQ, then any add-ons and toolkits)
and see everything in the right place.
After uninstalling:
Remove the following registry components from the Windows Registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\National Instruments Delete the entire tree!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments Delete the entire tree!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\ , \ISA, or \PCMCIA and delete registry entries containing any keys with 1093 in them.
Do not worry if any of these trees are not listed.
