I have Garageband 10.2 on my iMac and since the June update I suddenly cannot select Create Takes in the Cycle On option in Preferences on my songs that are still in progress. When I click on it, it just stays on Merge as though I have done nothing. I can select it on NEW projects, but I still need to use it in the ones I have not finished!!!!! Please help!
Garageband 10.2 Download Mac
My work requires pads to hold one note throughout the song, so I used to freeze the tracks so I could work in the middle of the song without having to start it at the beginning. Now when I click on the lock to freeze them the track I locked will go silent. How do I freeze a track on GB 10.2? Thanks!
I have been having trouble finding the additional vocal/voice loops that were supposed to come with the download of the complete sound library. Can anybody advise on why that is and how to remedy it!?
To clarify: yes, I've already enabled Audio Units in my garage band preferences. Other audio units are showing, and I have successfully used some of them before, but for some reason or another "AUSampler" does not appear. I am under the impression it was supposed to be included with the base software, and I have even downloaded the extra free instruments and such offered by apple, so I don't see why it isn't showing up in my plug-ins --> audio units --> apple menu. How can I find/use AUSampler? Is there possibly a way for me to just download it somewhere?
GarageBand for Mac 10.2 includes a variety of Apple Loops powered by Drummer. Quickly add beats to your project by dragging a Drummer loop from the Loop Browser into your project. Choose from variety of Drummer Loops for each virtual drummer character profile.
The steps above show how to use SoundFont files within GarageBand 10. However, if you want to download/install additional SoundFont files in macOS to make them available to GarageBand and other apps, follow these steps:
Version 10.2 of GarageBand for Mac makes the MacBook Pro Touch Bar more useful for song creation, allowing users to navigate through a project's timeline, and also play instruments, such as the drums or keyboard. The Touch Bar support arrives just under five months after the same feature was introduced to Logic Pro X in the 10.3 update.
Before we get started, you'll need to make sure you have GarageBand on your devices. It's available for Mac, iPhone, and iPad, and if you have one of those devices, you probably already have the app. If you don't, just head to App Store and download it.
You'll also notice that many of the instruments won't be downloaded initially. If you see an instrument or loop that has a greyed-out title and has a downward-facing arrow next to it, just click the arrow to download the necessary files.
Spend some time playing around with loops, and you'll find that you can actually make some very cool songs. You can download new loops, too, and combine them with the default Apple loops to get really creative.
If you're looking to download loops for GarageBand, check out MacLoops, LoopMasters, and PrimeLoops. There are plenty of places you can download free samples and loops -- if you have suggestions, leave them in the comments!
If you've bought an iOS or Mac device in the past few years, Apple's suite of creativity and productivity apps was effectively free for you. Sure, you had to pay for that expensive tablet or laptop, but the apps themselves were included in the purchase, even if you didn't download them until later. Starting today, however, Apple is simplifying things and making Keynote, Numbers, Pages, iMovie and GarageBand all free in the App Store for anyone in their ecosystem.
iWork apps require macOS Sierra to run, but GarageBand is available for machines running Yosemite or later and iMovie will run as long as you're up to El Capitan or higher. On mobile devices, iWork requires at least iOS 10.0, while iMovie and GarageBand require at least iOS 9.3 and iOS 10.2 respectively.
Made available with GarageBand 10.2, Drummer Loops are essentially Drummer performances captured as Apple Loops and stored in the loop library. The advantage is that you can flick through the parts with your project running and only drag in the ones you like, after which they can be edited in the Drummer Editor, just like regular Drummer regions.
First, GarageBand comes pre-loaded onto all Mac computers. It also comes pre-loaded on iPad Pros. That's the most common (and only) way to obtain it on a Mac laptop or Mac Mini. It's not available for purchase or download on any other platform. The iOS version can be downloaded for iPhone or iPad, though in the past Apple has charged a few bucks for the mobile version.
Hi there, thank you so much for the good tutorial. Im using a focusrite for garageband. Is there a way to bypass the internal amp modelers in GB and use for example a Helix stright into focusrite? I cant find it.
Check under the MIDI menu MIDI Settings and make sure that the drum channel corresponds to what your synth uses. You may need to check the documentation for your synth. You could also load a synth kit, if there is one for your particular synth, by going to MIDI Load MIDI Setup/Drum Kit. When you select a synth from this menu and press [OK], Band-in-a-Box will load a .DK file that matches your synth. This file will set up the GM patches, drum kit, and channels to what they should be for that synth. While this is not normally necessary for most modern synths, it may be necessary for some older and non-General MIDI synths. Additional .DK files can be downloaded from our website at _miscellaneous.htm
You are trying to run the Band-in-a-Box application outside of the Band-in-a-Box folder, or you are missing files from your installation for some reason. To solve this, either move the Band-in-a-Box application back into it's folder (/Applications/Band-in-a-Box), or reinstall the program using the Band-in-a-Box disc or package that you downloaded via e-delivery.
Band-in-a-Box is not being allowed to write files to the folder because of a permission problem. For example, this can happen if you are trying to run the program while logged on as a Standard User rather than an Administrator, and the Band-in-a-Box folder is set to Read-only for that group. To solve this problem, download and install the latest update patch for your version.
Depending on your web browser and settings, the file may be automatically downloaded to a folder on your computer without prompting you for a location to save the file. The default for the Safari web browser is normally the 'Downloads' folder in your Home folder. For example, if your User account is 'MyUserName', then the download will be placed in \Users\MyUserName\Downloads. In Safari, you can change this setting if you want, by going to Safari Preferences General ('save downloaded files to'). In Firefox, the setting is in Firefox Preferences ('Save files to').
If the download doesn't seem to work when you click on it, try control-clicking on the link and selecting 'download linked file' or 'download link to disk'. In Safari, go to the Window menu and click on Downloads to take a look at currently downloading files.
If you downloaded the software using electronic delivery, mount the downloaded .dmg (disk image) by double-clicking on it. If you are installing from disc, insert the CD or DVD and navigate to the root level of the disc.
Most of the recent videos on our website applicable to Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh use Flash, so if you can watch YouTube videos you should be able to watch the videos on our site. If not, you may not have Flash installed on your computer, or perhaps the version you have is too old. The latest version can be downloaded from the Adobe home page.
Some of the older videos on our site are not Flash videos. Also, some of the download video tutorials are .MOV (movie) files. If you are having trouble with these ones - for example if Quicktime gives you an error message, or if you can hear the video play but you can't see it:
If you downloaded an .AVI file, or if you are trying to play a .MOV file on disk, you should be able to play the file with Quicktime. For many of these videos we used the TechSmith Ensharpen video encoder. The EnSharpen Decoder often must be installed on your computer to play the videos properly. This file is available for download from , and also included (where applicable) on PG Music disks. Make sure to install the correct version of the codec for your computer (e.g. there is a version for PowerPC and a different one for Intel).
The IAC bus and BIAB Virtual MIDI Output can be used in much the same way. We originally developed a BIAB Virtual MIDI cable for OS 10.2 (Jaguar) users, since OS 10.2 did not include the IAC Bus. Apple added the IAC bus starting with OS 10.3 (Panther). On newer operating systems, you should probably use the IAC bus. Below are the basic steps, but there is more information in our "No Sound" tutorial.
Alternatively, download this "click-track" style. This style has a rim shot on each beat with beat one accented, and no guitar, bass, strings, or piano. You should place this style in the Styles folder in your Band-in-a-Box Folder, and it can be accessed by pressing F9 (Load User Style).
The earlier version, Band-in-a-Box 12, runs under OSX on PowerPCs and also runs on Intel Macs with OS X 10.2‐10.6 provided that Rosetta is installed (Rosetta works under the hood to make PowerPC applications work on Intel - you normally wouldn't be aware of its presence). Most Macs with OS X 10.2‐10.6 have Rosetta installed, however it might be an optional install on the OS install disc for newer computer purchases.
Update patches can be downloaded from _macintoshupdates.htm. First, you should make sure that your Band-in-a-Box folder is located in /Applications/Band-in-a-Box. Updates are always installed to this folder. Then, make sure Band-in-a-Box is closed, double-click on the file you downloaded to unzip and run the installer, and follow the on-screen instructions. 2ff7e9595c
