What to do if I can't hear a track?

Which version of GarageBand do you have?
And what have you tried already to fix it?
Is it only one particular track you cannot hear, or is GarageBand silent?
A real instrument track or a a software instrument track?
Have you checked, if any tracks are muted or soloed?

Can't hear the amps in garageband

Hi,
I'm new at garageband. I use version 10.0.3
I recently bought a Focusrite Saffire 6 Usb interface. I have external speakers and I'm trying to use the interface to play my base and guitar through the garageband amps.
The trouble is, it only works a small percentage of the time. I can't seem to activate the amps. In the preference section I've chosen my interface as both input and output. I've read in other post about turning monitoring on but I don't see where in the program that option is available.
Occasionally it has worked, usually when i've created a new track, but I cannot figure out what I did right.
How can I hear the amp sound?

TS1008 when the usb mic (Blue) is connected I can't hear the track play

Did you choose the the output in Garageband > Preferences > Audio midi?

Can't hear double-tracked keyboard in playback

I recorded a piano track as a software instrument, and had no problems with hearing it in playback. Then, I duplicated the track and played the same thing. Now, when I try to play through the song, I can only hear one or the other, or neither. When I select one of the tracks and restart from the beginning I can hear it, but as soon as I deselect it, I can't hear it. I have gotten both to play, but only very briefly before one track cuts out. Is this a software bug, or am I missing some setting?

Thanks! I was racking my brain with this! where in
the menu is this feature? Or in the manual?
No problem. The menu is:
View > Audio Scrubbing
But as I say to any editor learning FCP, if you go to a menu item more than 3 times in 10 minutes... memorize the keystroke command. You'll get much quicker.
For a list of keyboard commands:
Help > Quick Reference
(although I almost never find anything quickly in that quide)
Good luck!

Can't hear second track of Beatles

I have put the Beatles song in final cut pro call in my life when it gets to the part where the keyboard comes in I can't hear it now when I play the song in Itunes as a mp3 I hear the whole song but when
I stick it into final cut as a aiff I seem to lose a track any suggestions?

Thanks for all your help we figured it out, I know you need permission this is just for his own personal use, and half of the song is owned by Sony so you would need Michael Jackson and Sonys permission which takes about 2 to 4 weeks to get for any song which we do through ASCAP and BMI for most of our music.
Thanks again guys!

Can't hear MIDI keyboard thru GarageBand (or anywhere else)

I have a year-old MacBook running Leopard, and a Midiman (now mAudio?)49 Keystation USB controller (keyboard). The MIDI setup utility recognizes one MIDI input, but I can't hear the keyboard in Garage Band 3 or any other app I use (Songworks II). I've tried different input settings in Garage Band preferences, System Preferences and in the Audio MIDI setup utility, to no avail. The same keyboard works fine on my iMac G4, running the same software. As I said, the keyboard is USB powered. Is it possible that the MacBook doesn't produce enough power to run it? I have some serious projects to do and would be grateful for help. Maybe I need a newer keyboard? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. Turned out I needed new drivers.

When burned to a disk i can only hear most tracks through the left speaker!

alright, i recently recorded a few songs they consist of a looped drumbeat some software and real instruments. I made sure all were panned to the center, but when i listen to it on a cd or on itunes i can only hear a majority of the parts through the left speaker. the part that comes through the right speaker is the looped drum beat. So if anyone has any suggestions or something i just missed please let me know. thanks.

What should I do if I can never hear sound when I record a video?

Please help!!

Hello, try this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Reset your prefs.

Can't hear live track when playing midi drum track

This is a really dumb question. I've been away from Logic too long. I'm trying to monitor a live guitar track while I play a recorded midi drum beat. I can hear the midi track fine. And I can hear the live guitar track when the midi track is not playing. But as soon as I start playback, the live track goes silent even though the red record enable button is on and the levels show live guitar signal. It just doesn't make it to the output. If I actually record a region, I can hear it. But I don't want to record, I just want to practice with effects and a drum track.
I've done this before. What have I forgotten?

Hi,

No sound in headphones. Can't hear other tracks when recording. Need help

I just got Logic. I have a M-Audio Blackbox for my guitar, and a Midi-Uno for my keyboard.
I have play and record and hear my guitar. But when recording, it doesn't play the other tracks, so I can't play along with them.
Also, there is a problem in hearing the sound out of the output, whether it be headphones or the built-in speakers. No sound comes out, even though in the system pref. I hear the beeping to test the output.
This is very annoying because these seem like elementary things that should work but they aren't.

I'm just using built-in audio. I make sure the output in the system prefs is headphones, but then in the software I hear nothing when I play the audio. Maybe I have to check the master audio level.
Thanks for the word about it not being anything too crazy. It can be frustrating when the software doesn't seem to do something basic. I'll look at the master levels during playback.

Hi Nfrith1,
Please take a look at the article referenced below, the same as in my original reply. The receiver on the iPhone does not have anything to do with the speakers on the bottom of the phone nor your microphone.
Clear the receiver
The iPhone receiver won't work properly if it's blocked or dirty. Here's where the receiver is:
Follow these steps, testing after each:
Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver, such as a case or film.
If you have a new iPhone, remove the plastic film on the front and back of the device.
Check the receiver opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the receiver opening with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
While you're on a call, turn on speakerphone. If you still can't hear, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try calling again later or from a different location.
Restart and update
Restart your iPhone and test again.
If there's still no sound or poor sound quality, update to the latest version of iOS.

If you've tried these steps and there's still no sound or poor sound quality from your iPhone, contact Apple Support.

I can only hear when i turn the speaker on, but as soon as the speaker is turned off, it went mute. the person on the other side of the line can hear me perfectly. it also works fine when i plug in the earphone. this is really annoying.

I'm getting this error statement: XULRUNNER error: platform version 6.0.2 is not compatible with min etc max etc6.0.1 - what is this about and how can it be corrected?

This is what I think may have happened. The other day, Thursday Sept 8th, I shut down my pc in the middle of a Firefox upgrade. Now when I try to access Firefox on my pc, I get this error message:
XULRUNNER Error: Platform version '6.0.2 is not compatible with min Version >= 6.0.1 max Version < 6.0.1
What is this about and how can I retsore access to Firefox on my pc?

If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder.

After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
