Hi,
I have a related question here.
As you may know, some software synthesizers like Cinematic strings, La
Scoring Strings, Eastwest Quantum Leap, and many others use a player
that is inaccessible on Windows. I was wondering if that particular
player (I.E. Kontakt) is accessible using Voiceover.
Thanks.

Hi gordon,
In order to use your keyboard in GB, first create a project in the project window.
choose the piano template for starts. That'll crete a one track project with a grand
piano assigned to the track. your keyboard should play the piano sounds now if it's
hooked up right. All that's necessary to do is plug it in and perhaps check any
settings in "audio/MIDI in GB preferences You can reassign synths to that track
or any software track in the track info pane. bring it up with command+I. . there in
the browser, arrow left and right to move between instrument categories, and up and
down to select a different instrument in that category. use your keyboard to sample
the sounds as you arrow around.
These are "software" tracks, as opposed to "real" tracks, which are used for audio
instead of MIDI. Add new tracks by pressing command-option-N and select "software" as the track
type. immediately after creating the new track, assign an instrument to it in the track info pane because
that's about the only way you'll be able to identify the track later - by its sound.
To work with your tracks, you go into the arrange layout area, and drill down
into the tracks area - not the track headers area. Arrowing up and down will
move you between your tracks, and right and left will move you through the
timeline.
That should get you going a little for now, I'm working from memory here,, but
I'll be able to answer your questions in full later.I use GB mostly for audio
recording, but do a little midi with an m-audio keyboard as well.

Hi all
This is a question which may have been answered at some point. But I'm unclear on
how this "works, so I thought I'd raise the subject again. I have an M Audio
keyboard which is one that's been %modified so that it only works on a mac, with
Garage Band, ProTools etc.. Given that all I do have is the keyboard, could
somebody conxplain to me how, or even whether I could, for instance, record a
multitrack audio composition using virtual instruments such as a drum kit, guitar
and so on?
Yes, I know this sounds incredibly dumb. But despite aspirations to do so, I
never got around to sitting down and seriously working on this kind of project,
until now. If I'm able to do so, I'd love to start getting creative. I just
purchased an audio mixer which incorpolates a multi-programme FX processor,
with a whole host of options and filters to improve things like vocal tracks
and instrument tracks. This has sparked off my enthusiasm again, and this time
I'd like to follow it up properly.
I have not ruled out investing money in the purchase of ProTools either. The
only thing that's stopped me so far is the fact that I don't see any way of
purchasing and downloading the software. Avid have an excelent offer on an
audio interface though, so I might take that up.
Anyway, thank you in advance of any explanation. I gchess it's just the
concept of how virtual instruments work which is getting to me.
Kind regards
Gordon Smith
