  • How do I plug an electric guitar into my imace to use garage band

    I'm a beginner. What do I need to buy and or download to plug my electric guitar into the imac?

    Most online reviews give just about any apogee product a good name. Especially the jam and duet lines. Before you buy product make sure you evaluate exactly what you will need out of it. Will you always be recording just guitar tracks, or eventually want to record more than 2 tracks simultaneously? If you stick to purely 2-track most people say apogee sound is one of the best.
    I personally own a different interface (FTU by Maudio) but mostly because I wanted up to 4 tracks at same time for live and studio recordings. It's an ok product but probably falls short of the apogee quality. Think about exactly what you want from your setup and price range. It's all a delicate balance of compromise from there...

  • Is there some sort of adapter that i can use to plug my electric guitar into, so that i can record music into garage band?

    Probably but for that kind of expertise I would ask the experts in the GarageBand forum.

  • Every time I plug in my headphones into my Macbook Pro, my volume control buttons don't work.

    Every time I plug in my headphones into my Macbook Pro, my volume control buttons don't work. Even after I unplug my headphones they don't work, they get stuck on the level of volume it was at when I plugged in the headphones. I can control the volume if I go to system preferences and do it that way, but that is such a pain. Also, in order to get the buttons to work again I have to completely restart my computer which is also a pain! What should I do, or can do, to fix the problem?

  • I plug my iphone 5s into my macbook pro, itunes says: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1723).

    Every time I plug my iPhone 5s (32 GB) into my macbook pro, iTunes says: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1723). And none of my recently bought songs or my ringtones will transfer to my iPhone. I have iOS 8.1.2. I have only had this iPhone for about a month and a half. A week ago when I plugged it in it would say something along the lines of " This iPhone cannot be synced because the Photo library is not set up. Please try again later." What does that even mean? And now it is saying that it can't sync because of an unknown error. Well, how do I fix this? I have not yet downloaded the Yosemite update because it got horrible reviews and everyone I've talked to said their computer has gotten extra slow because of it so I was wondering if I need to download Yosemite so my iPhone will sync. I have tried turning my computer on and off, quitting and reopening iTunes, restarting my iPhone, and nothing has worked. I would really like to be able to transfer my music and ringtones etc. onto my phone.
    Thanks you!

    You have told us you have iOS 8.1.2, and a non-current version of OS X   Do you also have an old iTunes?  Current is 12.0.1.  I'm quite certain iTunes 12 is required to sync with iOS 8.
    The current iPhoto version is 9.6.  You are probably behind there as well, and that likely caused the first "photo ..." error.  As you may know, iOS is changing its approach to managing photos in iOS 8, so I would imagine it would be important to be current with this application.

  • How to plug a guitar into a macbook pro

    hi i know im a big nooob!! but i need your help how do i plug a gitar into my 13inch macbook pro it only has one jack to plug it in to. now i know how to plug the guitar in and everything i have recorded twice with it just little things but how do i record so i can hear the gutar while im playing what do i do to to hear myself play while im playing  if this makes sense please help

    There are many ways to record drums depending on what the final goal is and more important budget. You can start with one or two carefully placed mics to a mic on every drum and many will even add in some midi triggers.
    If you have a Apogee One you could just use the built in mic and try experimenting with placement.
    And you are going to want a set of headphones to monitor the playback not a speaker. A set of speakers and a open mic will feedback.

  • When I plug an HDMI cable into my Macbook Pro, it just turns itself off. Help?

    So I am trying to hook up my non-retina Macbook Pro to my HDTV to use it as a higher quality monitor, but one of two things always happens. When I try pluggingg in the HDMI, then turning on my Mac, it fails to detect the display. If I plug in the HDMI when the Mac is already on, my laptop will just turn itself off immediately. If anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if i need to get something else, it would be greatly apreciated.

    I am wondering if you may have some debris in the output port where the plug is not allowed to be fully inserted.  If not, take to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.
    Ciao.

  • How do I plug a Microphone jack into a MacBook Pro with the ability to listen with Headphones

    Specs:-
    Headset : Razer Carcharias
    Stereo 2.0
    Circumaural Design
    270 degree Rotation Microphone
    Inline Remote
    2 Discrete Drivers
    Price : RM 279.00 / USD 86.75  
    MacBook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2012
    Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    Serial Number (PERSONAL)
    Software OS X 10.9.2 (13C1021)
    Question : My father recently bought me a new Headset. It's a great Headset with good quality(I GUESS) and a microphone which is what I need.(SORRY IF THIS OFFENDED YOU) Anyway, I was disappointed when I noticed there was a microphone input/wire, there wasn't any microphone jack for it on the computer/laptop. It would be a waste of money if I would have to switch inputs/outputs. Is there a possible way to use the headphones and the microphone simultaneously? Please help, I've been wanting a Headset with a microphone and I finally received one and this occured. Please help. I don't want to purchase any external thing for the microphone jack, if I do, Apple should re-design the MacBook Pro, sorry, though. I don't think the Apple earphones or Ear pods came along with this computer/laptop, so, why only one jack for the headphones? Anyway, sorry for any offensive feedback or sayings. Thank you, though.

    Use a usb port and usb adapter. There is no mic in on Mackbook Pros. Return the headset for a uisb headset with mic.

  • What do I need to plug an electric guitar into my iMac?

    I understand basically that there may be some 1/4" to mini cable, or that there are USB or Firewire devices?

    1/8" stereo jack to 1/4" stereo
    optimum is 1/4" mono as i posted above, but that should work
    Or would there be an advantage to something like a Monster iStudioLink cable?
    it's nothing but an expensive adapter
    I'm not looking to do anything professionally and was hoping for something under (even well under) $100.
    for the few dollars, it's worth a try, if the adapter doesn't work, then look at an interface.

  • Turn an electric guitar into a bass guitar with garage band?

    I'm a teenage DAW (is that the right term? A non-commercial person who uses software instead of hardware to record and mix?) and I am currently in the process of making my own cover for a song and writing my own songs. My questions are about an electric guitar (Ibanez Artcore AF75TDG) and amp (Roland Cube 30x). I am using a 17 inch MacBook pro. I also am using a USB M-audio MobilePre audio interface for my recording. I plug my acoustic guitar directly into the audio interface (I'm a bad boy... I need a DI box) and I have an OK mic for the amp I'm using (I would use one of the really BOSS condenser mics my dad bought, but I dont have mic cables in the house). I also have an M-audio "Key Studio" MIDI controller at my disposal. My questions are about the use of GarageBand:
    1) How (hypothetically) do I plug my electric guitar into my MacBook Pro to take advantage of all the built-in amps in the software? Do I just create the track as an "Electric Guitar" track and plug into the audio interface normally?
    2) I can do a bass line with my MIDI controller, but I want to try making my electric guitar sound like a bass guitar. Is there some way to do that? Like run the guitar through a software bass amp in GarageBand?
    Please answer any way you like. If there is anything you think I need, please tell me. I can borrow equipment from my church (such as mic cables or SM57 mics, our DI boxes are pretty much shot now, but are still useable) if need be.
    Thanks all.

  • HT1477 Good evening.  What kind of an adapter do I require to plug my ipod shuffle into the Aux In plug to connect to my car radio??  Thank you.

    Good evening,  What kind of an adapter do I require to plug my ipod shuffle into aux 1 outlet in my car to go through radio???

    It's not really an "adapter."  It's a cable with a mini-stereo plug at both ends.  Here's an example
    http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Player-Auxiliary-Input/dp/B002AR5XIK
    Connect it from the shuffle's headphones jack to the auxilliary audio input on car audio system.  You called it an "aux 1 outlet," but it's really an audio INPUT, correct?  DO NOT connect it there, if that is an audio OUTPUT.  It needs to be an audio INPUT.

    Turn the internal mic level off. Use headphones as monitors.

  • My iPod playlists are deleted every time I plug my iPod into my MacBook Pro.

    Every time I plug my iPod into my MacBook Pro, my iPod playlists are deleted.  I have all the sync features turned off on both the iPod and computer.  What is happening?  I hate having to remake my "Workout" playlist everytime I plug in!

    Correct.  All sync features are turned off and if is 'manually manage' somewhere, I have checked the box to do so.  So basically everything is set for me to manage manually, yet my iPod playlists are still being deleted.
