MacBook Air :: GarageBand/Electric Guitar On MBA?
Dec 11, 2010I 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.
Applications :: Garageband And Electric Guitar Has Too Much Noise?
Jan 10, 2011I'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?
Applications :: Can't Hear My Electric Guitar Through Garageband?

Applications :: Unable To Select Input Channel For Electric Guitar In Garageband?
Dec 7, 2009I'm using Garageband 5.1
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"...
what's going on?

MacBook Pro :: Fix Electric Current Fault
Jun 6, 2010I was an owner of a white macbook for just over a year until the motherboard decided to give up the ghost... So I eventually bought myself a new 13" Macbook Pro. Everything was going just beautifully, until I realised when I was charging it, I had this weird electrical current going through all the aluminum.First of all the first two things that came to mind was. What's the computer and most importantly MY health going to be like if its exposed to all this! Anyway. I read a few threads, and they were talking about the "Grounding" problem. Luckily I got my old macbook charger out and plugged it in.. The problem went! So I was then thinking on where in the charger lied the problem? So I took the cable part from the Megasafe to the socket from my macbook, and then put it into my macbook pro Megasafe... and everything worked brilliantly! I'm no genius, however if you guys feel that tingly electrical/static current going through you're MBP, go and buy yourself a new cable. However as Apple is so popular, I'm sure if you try one of you're friends (As they will undoubtably have one) and see if it is that the problem. In anycase, I'm very happy with my Macbook Pro Apple make some awesome products. Bill Gates should just pack up and go fishing if you ask me. He can never compete with Me old mate Steve

MacBook Pro :: Electric Current Through Aluminum Case / Running Fingers Across The Top
Sep 12, 2008I recently traveled to Europe with a MacBook Pro, and plugged it into the outlet with a travel converter. My understanding is that the brick on the magsafe cable works as a transformer and it is safe to plug into a European outlet. I've never had a problem with other laptops.
Everything worked fine with the machine, except I could always feel an "electric" sensation through my hands when touching the aluminum case. This was especially apparent when running my fingers across the top -- it was as if I could feel an electric current running through the case.
This seemed harmless, and I ran the computer without fail during my time abroad. My question is out of curiosity -- is this sensation normal? What exactly is it?

Jun 30, 2012I'm trying to plug my guitar into my MacBook Pro 13 inch mid 2012 model. It says the port can be used as an audio in as well as out but when I go to preferences, sound then try to look for the "Use audio for" tab it's not there. Although I probably will be buying a USB interface soon, I just want to know why this isn't working.

Plug Guitar Into New Macbook Pro Retina Since Line-In Has Been Removed?
Jun 15, 2012I really dont want to have to buy an external soundcard since the laptop is already very expensive. Taking away the line-in is stupid on the "Pro" range. On a "Macbook Air" fair enough. But not the Pro! Can the audio out be set to an audio in?

OS X :: Electric Shock / Vibration On UMBP 5?
Nov 3, 2009I took the plunge and got a MBP 13 (5,5) in October. Its all going well except for the same problem that recurs.
The problem is that when plugged in via magsafe i recieve a mild tingling throughout the shell. This first happened a week after I got it but I solved it by using the long lead instead of the smaller plug. But now even the longer lead which is supposed to remove the issue still gives me the same vibration/electric shock feeling. Its NOT minor, I feel it when its plugged in and it hurts! I get a headache when it does this.

OS X :: Electric Shock Reset Clock / Wireless / Shut Off The Computer?
Jun 15, 2010I don't know if this is something to be worried about but I notice that when the tip of the display port cord ( from the ACD ) touches the metal frame of my MacBook Pro there is a tiny blue arch of electricity visible. Well, I just bumped that cord into the frame of the MBP and as soon as that happened the computer completely shut off, it just went to a black screen and turned back on when I connected it via AC outlet. When the computer started back up the clock was messed up ( 2008 date ) and it had forgotten all of my WIFI passwords.
I was just wondering why this happens?

Applications :: Learning Guitar On GarageBand?
Jul 25, 2010I 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?
Hardware :: Guitar Recording Using Garageband?
Mar 13, 2008I'm trying to record my guitar directly into Garageband or Audacity using my mac, it's running Tiger 10.4.8.
Here's my setup, my electric guitar is connected to my amp and my amp is connected to an external sound card through the line in port which is then connected to the mac via usb.
I have set everything up as per different peoples instructions and i can record in Garageband, the problem is that there is a massive amount of excess noise, it's a like a massive roar when you try to record.
If i turn the input volume down really low it's not so bad but then you can't hear the guitar properly, if i turn it up you can hear the guitar but the roar makes it unrecordable.
What should i do?
