Will Not Create Real Instrument Track

When I try to create a Real Instrument track nothing happens. Any ideas? I'm using GarageBand 3.0.5 (104.10)

I'm having the same problem and using the same version of GarageBand - 3.0.5 (104.10).
When I go to create a new track and choose "Real Instrument," the Track Info always says "Software Instrument" regardless of what I click. I'm trying to record a banjo without any pickups, so I can't plug in, but without being able to indicate that I'm recording a real instrument, I can't use the built in mic either.
Please help!

Reinstalled i life 06 and GB3 still will not create a software track

my saga continues. I got the KORG X50 a great synth to record audio onto tracks of GB. You might give it a try.
But even after reinstalling I life 06 the only way i can create software track is by dragging a software loop
aint this strange?????????????

Hi Paul,
I'm sorry for your frustration. You have an ExportPDF subscription, which you can use to convert PDF files to Word format. It does not allow you to remove pages from as PDF and create a new PDF. It looks like you may have placed an order for an Acrobat subscription today, but it has not processed. Once it does, you can download and install Acrobat, and then use it to extract pages from a PDF (choose Extract from the Pages pane on the Tools panel).

Real Instruments Tracks Not Playing

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.
Last night, all tracks worked properly, even after deleting a real instrument track. I saved and shut down for the night.
After booting up today, the remaining real instrument tracks have only very minimal volume; really, just a faint whisper. Track info remains the same and I can see some real instrument track monitor activity, but that's about it for the real instruments.
In response to some earlier advice, I created a new Real Instrument and/or a Software Track and see if they are soloed. Nothing, no "hidden" soloed Track.
The real instrument tracks remain silent, though fully editable.
Any assistance would be great.

I went into the master track to see what's going on.
Ducking option was not highlighted, so I clicked on it just to see what would happen. It unlocked all locked tracks, but not the real instruments for some reason. Then, I removed Ducking option.
All real instruments have returned. Problem resolved.
It was something to do with Ducking.
Each day I learn something new. Life is good.

Why do I get so much noise when creating a real instrument track?

Why do I get so much noise when creating a real instrument track?

Creating a real instrument track is a very silent matter normally. Once you start recording, you can indeed pick up noise - but that depends on what you're recording, how you're recording etc. - you didn't tell us anything about it.

GB keeps changing the tempo on my real instrument track!

Hey, newbie here with a problem. I know that by default GB will change real instrument tracks to match the project tempo. So whenever I create a new track for a real instrument, I open up the track editor to unclick the box for this option. First of all, it doesn't even let me access the box unless I first record something in the track. Then, even if I uncheck the box, as soon as I go to create a new track, GB changes the tempo and I see the box checked again! It's like the program wants to do this no matter what. I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out. It's driving me nuts and made me waste a lot of time. Help!

To answer the last post you left in the GB1 forum...
You're still not understanding what I said. GB does not change the tempo of what you played to match the projects tempo UNLESS you change the tempo of the project after you've recorded the track.
There is an Enhance Timing feature you can turn on which will try to make your playing match the projects tempo, but here is the clearest example I can give:
If you set the project tempo to 40, and then you play some guitar at a tempo of 200, GB will not do anything to change that. Your playing will still be at 200BPM. All GB is in this case is a "Tape Recorder".

GB not seeing real instr track when second track is playing

I'm trying to record a mic'd amp into a real instrument track.It registers and shows that the signal is coming through but only when no other tracks are playing. As soon as a second track starts playing, the real instrument track is not picking anything up. Why not? It seems like sometimes it will work and other times not.
I am using an Apogee One for input and have the preferences set so that the One is the input and output is through "built in output".
Any ideas?

Never mind - I figured it out.

Unable to play back real instrument tracks

greetings - i've been working on a song in Garage Band for a couple of years. the back story is that this file has grown to 2.5GB in size (all my other GB files are a lot less). it has about 10 real instrument tracks and 6 software tracks. Yesterday while working on the file a strange thing started happening; the first (of 3) software piano track started playing back intermittently with a bunch of reverb; i had not requested that it have reverb. i tried removing reverb, i tried soloing and unsoloing, muting and unmuting, and sometimes that would get rid of the reverb. so that was anomaly #1 yesterday. Finally, after finishing the session and saving/ closing the file, i wanted to make a backup copy so did command-D. Possible anomaly #2: when the original file and the backup file names appeared in the window, i renamed both; then i realized that the Mac was still in the process of copying the file; so i don't know if that renaming introduced a problem. Once the backup was finished, i opened the file (and the backup file, subsequently), and the REAL instrument tracks (plus the first midi piano track i laid down) NO LONGER MAKE ANY SOUND. the software drums, flute, and pianos 2&3 play back; the vocal sounds like the reverb is playing back but not the original track (i assigned basic female reverb to the vocal track). Everything visually still seems to be present in the file - all the details of instrument, level, pan, etc. but i'm getting no sound from the real instrument tracks or the 1st software piano track. i have TRIED all the suggestions for optimizing performance given in GB help. i am stuck and truly hope my arrangement will once again sound! many thanks in advance for any suggestions; Matthew Allen

try toggling the Ducking menuItem, that's solved some similar issues
(and you can safely ignore the post about 8 tracks, it's not relevant)

Real instrument track to software track?

Hi,
is it possible to convert a real instrument track back to a software track? Since Garageband has a real instrument tuner built in, it should have everything needed built in to recognize the notes of the real instrument track.
That would be even cooler in real time: imagine striking some notes on your guitar and hear a piano sound in realtime ...
Any ideas?

Other OS

yeah if you use melodine or some other software you may be able to.
but not inside garageband. apple currently don't support that...
converting software track to real instrument just means that creating audio file it's same as recording instruments yourself.

No Sound From SOME Real Instrument Tracks

All tracks (real, software & guitar) are recording properly and play back is fine. Then out of the blue a previously recorded real instrument track will not play back. Software tracks are playing and "blue" drum loops are playing back back, but not real bass or real guitar tracks.
The wave files are there and the activity is visible. The volume meters are moving, but there is no sound. The track is not muted and no tracks are in solo mode.
I can copy and paste the tracks and they play again, BUT they loose quality and all of the sequencing, as far as where the region sits in the song, is lost.
Any one know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Acrobat XI will not create PDF from word for Mac

I'm on a late 2013 macbook air, running Mountain lion, office for mac 20011 and acrobat XI pro. In acrobat, when I go to file, create pdf and navigate to a word doc, acrobat will not creat the pdf. I get an error message that reads someting like "acrobat could not open test.docx because it is not a supported file type." Create pdf works with other file types. I can create PDF by using the Save As in Word, but that is besides the point. I bought Acrobat in order to process many word and excel files into on PDF-file easily and currently that is not possible. Anyone?

This is possible on Windows.

Pdf pack will not create a pdf from a tiff file conversion failure Why

pdf pack will not create a pdf from a tiff file conversion failure Why

Hi David Turner,
What is the exact error message which you are facing while converting the file from .tiff format to PDF format.
As per my knowledge, PDF Pack supports conversion from .tiff format to PDF Format -Different File formats that Adobe PDF Pack supports.

New computer. Acrobat 7 will not create the pdf maker

Got the file from the [email protected] site as directed by tech support. It loaded and can open pdf files but will not create. When installing it said cannot create the pdf maker.
How can I fix?

Hi ronc638131,
What operating system are you using? I'm guessing that if you have a new computer, you most likely have an operating system that is much newer than Acrobat 7, and on which Acrobat 7 was never tested. Please see the Acrobat system requirements here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-acrobat-family-produ cts.html

LR 5.7.1 will not create folders on a network connected Drobo.

LR 5.7.1 on IMac2 (OS 10.9.5) will not create a folder an a Drobo that is USB connected to IMac1 (OS 10.10.2). The two IMacs are ethernet connected through a router. When attempting to create a folder on the Drobo from LR on IMac2 an error message from LR is displayed: "Could not complete the folder move. The folder named “2014” could not be created." A folder cannot be uniquely created from LR on the Drobo. Folders can be created on the Drobo from the desktop of IMac2, image files can be moved between already created folders on the Drobo and new images can be added to existing folders. Read and Write permissions are set for all users on both iMacs. Looking for some help on figuring this out.

Have you successfully Signed Out and back in to CC (or do you still have an error message on CC)?
Sign out, Sign in | Creative Cloud Desktop app
If not and you can't I'd guess it's still the CC that is the problem. There have been similar issues preventing LR starting here on the forum in the past (do a search, it might help)
After that I'd try the Technical Chat if you can't find anything on the CC forum (IMHO the forums are more likely to be able to help but it might take time).

Siri will NOT create reminder using location

I'm having trouble creating a location based reminder. I've set location service on Siri. It knows my "home" and "work" locations based on my info.
1. Enable Siri.
2. I tell Siri to "set reminder"
3. Siri asks what I need to be reminded about, I say "Buy eggs"
4. Siri asks "when would you like me to remind you?". I say "When I leave home".
5. Siri repeats the reminder and asks if Siri should create the reminder.
6. I say yes.
7. Siri comes back with "I wasn't able to create your reminder. Sorry about that."
I've tried several times, no luck. It's not that Siri does not know the locations, it just will not create the reminder for some reason. Anyone had this issue and fixed it?
Thanks.

I had the same issue and error message with Siri. After some tinkering, here is how I had to have a few settings in order to use "location" for Reminders.
ICloud-Reminders ON
Mail, Contacts, Calendars...Reminders...Default List... set to iCloud Reminders (Not Exchange Tasks nor Exchange Tasks)
You can verify that Siri can use Location by manually creating a Reminder in the Reminder App and then click on Remind Me... and you should see "At a Location" as well as "On a Day."
Based on this, it appears that Location Based Reminders can only be used/saved in the cloud in order for "it" to tell the phone where you are, and the trigger a reminder.

Ical will not create new / delete old calendars

On my imac, ical will not create a new calendar (File / New Calendar) and will not delete the calendar (Edit / Delete) that is in there (a custom calendar called 'group 3' that was never used - the default calendars are not in there either).
I tried same on my ibook and it worked as expected.
Back to the imac, I delete the imac application from the applications folder, then did a custom install from my OS X 10.4 disk. Although the install completed successfully, the situation is no different.
Suggestions? thanks

Solved: Deleted all Key Chain references to the FTP address.
