It appears when plugging in the headphone dongle for aux headphones, but sometimes it just shows up on my app switch screen and I can’t seem to deactivate it or understand why it just pops up, everything works fine, the headphone and jack work great, it just seems to appear even...

    Mac OS Lion/GarageBand '11 update expertise please

    I have an old McBook Pro (specs below) I've decided to dust off and use solely for GarageBand projects. I booted it up the other day and played around on Garageband '11 (Version 6.0.5), and it's performance is still serviceable. I'd like to upgrade the GarageBand version on this old MacBook...

    Is the new iPad 9.7 good enough for heavy GarageBand use?

    I have no idea what specs are needed to make lots of music in GarageBand. Is it good enough? (No lagging, quality sound, enough storage, etc)

    iPhone GarageBand for iOS to HomePod

    GarageBand for iOS was once able to go to HomePod via Airplay. Now it doesn't seem to work, except for music for the iPhone. Has anyone successfully been able to send their GarageBand for iOS audio to a HomePod? Jacques PS - this worked fine before 11.4

    I am using Garageband 10.1.6 on MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. Trying to add effects to a vocal track using track automation curves. From the drop down menu in the track header, I am able to apply automation curves for the top four options (volume, pan, echo reverb). But any...

    All iPads Foot pedal for iPad/Garageband?

    Are there any Bluetooth foot pedals out there that work with Garageband? I'd love a foot pedal that would allow me to: 1) Start or stop a song 2) Switch off individual pedals in an amp set-up 3) Switch between tracks within a song I know about the iRig Blueboard, but my understanding is it...

    GarageBand- Ghost in the machine?

    Hi there, I've been encountering an infuriating issue with Garageband (v10.1.0) lately. Whenever I record a MIDI performance via my midi keyboard (M-Audio Keystation 61ES) the playback level seems to have a mind of it's own. Without prompt, the level fader in Garageband for the appropriate...

    Universal Strange Inconsistency in Garageband

    I have noticed something odd and irritating about the iOS version of Garageband. Short version: The number of frets shown in any of the guitar/notes modes seems arbitrary because my iPhone 7plus shows 11 but my iPad Mini 4 shows 8 even though it's display is slightly higher resolution. More...

    GarageBand doesn't follow Apple's HIG

    GarageBand uses "Cancel" and "OK" where it would be much more appropriate to use buttons like "Save", "Undo", and "Delete." I thought this went against Apple's HIG (Using "OK" instead of a more descriptive button name)?

    Anyone still use GarageBand '11 v6.0.5?

    Anyone clued up on this version? I've not really used this before but had to merge some tracks for something and I can't get an accurate cut/split on it. What am I missing, I drag the line over the track with mouse but it's not accurate enough, manually it won't go into right place, always 1mm...

    How will a wireless future work with GarageBand?

    With Apple pushing for a wireless audio future on their iPhones, one scenario holding them back for a (probably small) group of people is with their own Garageband app and similar apps. Garageband requires wired headphones to hear a track while recording a new track on top, in order to stay...

    The Yamaha-keyboard/synth is connected to the computer (iMac 27", middle of 2011, El Capitan) via USB (from the keyboard it's connected with two big cables, "in" and "out"), but won't work.

    Deleted Garageband and now I want it back

    Hey! I got an iPhone 6s a few days ago and deleted Garageband because I thought I wouldn't use it and it would just take a lot of space. But now I changed my mind and want it back xD Is there any way to get it back for free - it's 4.99€ in App store? Thanks! :)
