I want to use my guitar hero controller with my mac to like play music not play games.I plan to use GamePad Companion, but I need a driver to make the guitar work. Right now I am looking at the driver called xbox 360 controllers" the only is that its not detecting my controller. If it matters I am running a ibook G41.33 GHz 1.25Gb OSx 10.5.8.
View 1 RepliesI have found tons of things online on how to connect a XBOX 360 controller to my mac - anyone know how to go in semi reverse - Connect my Mac to my 360? I want to be able to type from my computer - so the typing appears on my 360. I normally play with my computer right next to me - so this would be convenient.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Xbox 360 wireless controller and I wanted to know if it is possible to use it on a mac? I have the play and Charge cable, which is basically a cable that connects to my controller to my Xbox 360 via USB. Do u think if I use this cable plus some software, will I be able to play games such as Team Fortess 2 and COD 4. Also does it matter if I use Boot Camp or Just regular Mac? Also what software can I use for this to work, so all buttons work. Update: Also the controller doesn't use bluetooth, IF the cable doesn't work I have to buy a wireless adapter. Second Update: Ok so I have to either buy a wired controller or buy a wireless adapter. What software can I use?

I've seen that type of guitar out in the wild, but I could never remember out what type it was (the similar rounded shape) when I went to find out more info.
Does anyone know? Or have any ideas?
I'm thinking about buying this controller. Linky. And I'm curious to know if it will work in OS X.

I can't get the controller to be recognized by my computer. When I plug it into the usb port the controller lights up and then goes blank. Does anyone know the reason why the controller won't stay on? What would I need to do to get this to work? I have a few drivers installed for Xbox 360 controllers but none of them recognize the device.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using Guitar Pro on PC for long time and I was wondering since there isn't any search result of MR on Guitar Pro.
I own an Alum Macbook now and if something is better in OSX I would love to switch.
So it comes down to Guitar Pro 5 vs Garageband 09.
I admit I have never really touched a real guitar in my life (obviously a Rock Band guitar does not count). But since I just got my new 27" iMac, I came to the realization that learning guitar with GarageBand might actually be pretty interesting.
So, what is the minimum buying requirements in order to start learning guitar when you are starting with nothing (other than GarageBand itself, of course).
Here is what I think I need at a minimum, but I want to make sure:
Acoustic Electric OR Electric guitar. A regular acoustic guitar won't work because it does not have a line output (is that correct?).
I have seen some acoustic electric guitars on eBay for less than $100. What do I need to make sure the Guitar comes with before buying? [By the way, I have my eye on one acoustic electric guitar that comes with an Active Pickup ... is active pickup necessary?]
1/4" to 1/8" adapater
Here are some extras that might be nice for better tone, but are not required:
USB or Firewire Audio Interface. I think I have seen I can get one of these for $50-$100
A microphone to connect to the audio interface
An amplifier
I was thinking of starting with the minimum requirements (assuming what I listed is the minimum) and if I decide I enjoy this, go for the extras I listed.
Do I have this all correct?
I've linked my guitar up to GarageBand and am trying to get a setting which sounds metal like, but at the same time sounds clear and i'm failing. It produces a good sound but its so full of noise its unbelievable.
The guitar has no noise when its on a setting which doesn't have distortion/fuzz or gain on it, but then i don't have a metal sound.
Does anyone have any idea how i can make such a setting?
Picked this up from the Apple Store in London a few day ago and I've been having some trouble getting my electric guitar to work with my mbp.
When I plug everything up and try and play it records through the mic on the mbp and not through the pickups.
In system pref>sound>input I have line out selected along with the volume all they way to the write.
What am I missing here?
I recently bought a brand new MacBook Pro 13", and have been very frustrated with the quality of the internal mic when I am playing my guitar into it.
For about the first 3 seconds of my playing, it sounds ok, then it fades to a point where you can barely hear the guitar.
is there some microphone setting I forgot to select? or do I maybe have a bad egg? Lol please help!
Note: Vocals seem to pick up fine on the mic, its only the guitar playing that is of poor quality.

I have an electric guitar plugged into the instrument input of an Apogee Duet recording interface.
If I add a "real instrument" track, then I can select the input channel in the "track info" pane in GB. Works fine, I can hear the guitar. But I can't access the various guitar effects and models.
To do that I create an "electric guitar" track instead. However, when I do that, I don't see any option to select the input channel in the track info pane.
And I don't hear any sound. Apple help just says I should "select the input channel in the track info pane" but I don't see it there, like it is for a "real instrument"...

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have only just got a MIDI keyboard conencted via USB to control the software instruments on Garageband. The only problem I am finding is if I say, sample some drums, I can only play them back by manually placing them in the chord orchestrator.
What I basically need/want is to control the track (the part on the left) by a single press on the keyboard; so if I wanted 2 kicks to sound, I'd press the key twice. But at the moment it's just not registering at all, and only allows me to play the stock software instruments with the keyboard
I had a Dell 1100 laser printer working on my iMac (G4 ball type) using a GIMP printer. I had to reset the queue and lost the driver. I can't remember which GIMP driver I used. Also, although I have loaded the latest GIMP s/w, I can't seem to get to them in Tiger 10.4.6.

My connect360 software stopped working all of a sudden. Latest version of connect360. Macpro running latest version of Leopard with all latest updates. I have two xbox360's, and both of them stopped working at the same time. Connect360 is running on the macpro. It says it is sharing, and sees the xbox popup. Says it is authorized.
On the xbox..
It sees the macpro. Sees the directory structure. When I click into a movie, it hangs there for a good 5 minutes. Then finally comes up with PLAY. When I play, it fails with "Lost connection to PC". Movies that were working previously now are not (nothing is working). Recycled router (all pc's, ps3, xboxlive are all working fine), uninstalled/resinstalled connect360. Rebooted a zillion times.
Canon advertises this printer as having ONLY Windows drivers, however there is a solution if you are interested in buying the printer (I bought one for around AUD150, delivered in Melbourne). As reported in Macosxhints here there is an OSX driver for the Canon LBP3000. Go to the linked Canon page (which is in Japanese) then scroll to near the bottom of the page for links to the driver (MXCAPT160). Download that and install it. Edit: The printer dialogue (when you attach it) is then in English. It doesn't offer all the options available in Windows (mainly output quality & economy modes) but is fine for straightforward printing to A4, letter, legal, A5, A6 and a couple of Japanese envelope sizes (Yougata-4 approximates DL).

The system tells us "No Driver Update Needed for this System", and will not allow driver to be installed. Can anyone advise if the current driver is automatically installed or provided by Apple Updates. If not can you provide proper instructions on how to properly update the driver. Also how can we confirm what driver version is currently installed.

I noticed that the MBA only has one headphone jack.
Now is that both input and output? If its not input then i would need one of those fast track things im guessing.
I have both input and output on my hackintosh which I can use to record my electric guitar on GarageBand.
I hope I don't have to buy a fast track as not sure how it would run over a USB hub.
