Mac Pro :: Problems Recording In Garage Band (line In, Line Out )
Jan 7, 2010
i'm having some issues recording in garage band which should hopefully be easy to clear up. i record an instrumental track into garage band through the line-in jack in the back. the track shows up in garage band just fine and plays, but i'm running into trouble recording while that track is playing. i plug my headphones in so i can try to hear the track while i am recording vocals, but i am unable to hear the track. i checked the inputs/outputs in system preferences and output is set to headphones, microphone is set to line in. so i'm not too sure what it could be.
I have been using the line-in on my MBP to record with my guitar/bass for about 3 years. I use Logic Express 9 to record. All of a sudden, the line-in no longer works and I get this awful clicking sound the entire time.
I've been trying to record my guitar using a regular 1/4" instrument cable and a 1/4" to 1/8" adaptor into the line-in of my Blackbook. I go to System Preferences so the app uses the line-in and not the build-in mic. Under "details", it is set to record in stereo. It records fine and sounds good, but when I put on my headphones, the tracks I recorded only come out of one ear. The software tracks are fine (as are the tracks I've recorded via the built-in mic and a USB mic). Well, this really puts a hamper on the song. Is it just because regular Macbooks don't come with a very good sound card?
Double poll here. There are two questions: How much DATA do you have Oo-line?
This is data and not total capacity. This includes all your on-line data: music, images, video, the OS, all of it. It doesn't include back-up data even if it's on-line like Time Machine tho. Just active data.
And of the on-line storage devices used for that DATA totally, what % are they filled to?
For example if you had two 500 GB drives and about 400 GB of data you would answer: "I have < 500 GB of DATA on-line." and,"My on-line storage is between 25% and 50% full.".
I've had this problem since Friday with my Mac Pro (March 2009) and haven't been able to solve it.
On Friday my speakers suddenly stopped working. After first having confirmed that the speakers were working with another source, I tried headphones both in frontal headphone slot and with the analog line out in the back, both without success. There's a red light in the optical audio out, indicating that it's on for some reason, although I have selected different audio out source. The internal speaker works just fine, only the normal audio out doesn't give me anything.
I found a thread in the MBP section similar to this problem, but solutions for MBP didn't work.
Seems like it should be a straight forward deal, but it's not obvious how to make this happen. I can tell the audio is coming in, as the input levels are reflected under System Pref's. But I can't hear the audio on the line-out speakers and there doesn't seem to be an option to explicitly route the audio.
I recently got the iBook G4 passed down to me it use to belong to my dad. I was wondering does anyone know how to get garage band on it? I noticed it is on alot of Macs Computers And Laptops but not mine, i think it isnt on mine because it may have been bought before it was out. If you want to know what im running on and stuff see the picture.
I have a 2nd monitor and hooked up my xbox 360 to it. I have it connected through HDMI and then have a regular audio jack going from the monitor to my Mac Pro. When I open up my sound preferences and select: Line In - Audio Line In the "Input Level" bar goes up and down meaning it is registering or hears the sound coming from my xbox.
For some reason though, the sound will not output from my Mac Pro. My speakers which are connected to Line Out: Built In Line Output still outputs sound coming from my mac pro but it won't output the sound from my 360. Is there a remedy for this?
So quickly again.
Line In - Audio Line In is "hearing" the sound from my xbox 360 as the "Input Level" bar goes up and down.
Line Out - Built In Line Output still outputs sound from my Mac Pro but not the 360.
My line out port on my late 2007 white macbook recently died and I no longer have AppleCare. I never use the line in port on my computer and use the line out quite alot. I have tried all kinds of fixes to fix the problem but nothing works. I would like to use the line in port as a line out port. I am not sure if this is possible so I thought I would ask here if anyone knew of a way.
Anyway I let my battery calibrate this morning as I've read this is good for your computer and let the computer be for the whole day. However when I came back the application Garageband was open (I distinctly remember quitting) and even had edited a version of a song I made when I first used it (this music I never saved on my computer).

I'm running Mac OS X 10.3.4 Panther on an eMac, and when I click on Garage Band in the dock, the icon bounces for a moment and then the arrow underneath it disappears. Does anyone know how I can get it to open? I have tried launching it from the Apps folder but that won't do it.
We had a mixup in either our sound board or our camera and recorded some video only in the left channel. I thought I could just duplicate the traci in garage band, then swap the channel on the duplicate track so we could get audio from both sides. I've duplicated the track, but can't seem to figure out how to swap the audio over to the right side.
I just bought the new 13" MacBook Air and I went onto GarageBand and I have no clue on how to use it. Do you guys now a website or something that will teach me?
I want to save my first garageband file as an mp3. When I click share -> send song to iTunes, a tube appears, showing that the operation is occurring, but it never arrives. I've tried different names of playlists, but no luck. Either the operation doesn't happen or the file's title changes. I looked in all the folders where newly created mp3's go and no luck. I've searched iTunes and can't find any new files.
I have a cheap little usb keyboard that I use in Garageband. It sounds great but I have a problem doing drums with it. It seems that the bass drum is lower than my keyboard allows me to go. Is there any way of changing the octaves that a keyboard controls so I could lower down to the bass drum? I found the bass using the software keyboard but it is just a few notes lower than my keyboard goes.
I just found some third-party GarageBand loops and put them in my library. I didn't rename them before I added them and now they appear in lowercase with underscores between words. How do I rename them?
when I'm recording/playing a track in Garage Band, I would like that when the "current position" marker reaches the end of the visible area, the view moves to the right so that I can still see what is currently being played.
When using Garage Band I accidently asked it to download the sound files that does not come installed from standard. I do not want these sounds at the moment but now they keep popping up in when searching for software updates.
I've been trying to record on Garage Band 09 and hit a wall on the fact that any song that I've recorded is mono and not stereo (i think?), I mean my voice only comes out one side of the head phones
Im trying to edit a song for a project that im doing but i want/need just the instrumental part of the song and not the singing in the background. can garage band do this or some other program?
